They want Romney to rebuke his statements
Wow. Stretching a little there, aren't they?
I can't believe week-ass crap like this makes top story on huff and puff post.

You say this after Fox headlined the Hilary Rosen story? It's election time -- it's only going to get more absurd. At least the Nuge said some legitimately gonzo for all that attention.![]()
Meh.
You start talking about the president and mentioning bombs and guns, while doing it at a public event with thousands of people.
I have no doubt that if the president were a Republican, and any Democrat had said something similar you would be all over that like stink on .
Hypocrite much?
Listen, with as much trouble as the Secret Service is in these days, they are probably the ones who leaked this to the press.
Those guys would love to have something for folks to focus on besides their own off-hours activities.
^^^I noticed that the Pres. was loathe to throw them under the bus at the press conference in Cartagena. I mean, he may pick a fight with the Supremes, but he ain't going at the guys with the guns! He's not so dumb as some give him credit for being.
fake outrage begets more fake outrage from those who disbelieve it. tis the season.
Isn't pros ution legal in Columbia?
The last time a President picked a fight with the secret service Kennedy got shot...
Pros ution is 'legal' only in certain parts of Columbia
How do we know that Obama and Nugent aren't in a secret alliance of some sort? What if Nugent said this to distract Americans from Obama's failings as president and the economy?
You might be on to something, Jacob -- what better place to hide a pink mole than under The Nuge?
Leo Strauss would be proud.
Saw the Nuge talking this morning at an event of some kind.
He fancies himself to be William Wallace (not making that up), and is predicting he will be in jail or dead if Obama gets re-elected, or before November.
Typical right wing hysteria, but the fact that these are the types of people who are the most well-armed should worry anybody about the potential for self-fulfilling prophecies.
I have been thinking about this lately. I know three people who are arming and prepping (buying a ton of non-perishable food) for, I don't know, armageddon. For the most part, I just think "great! You buying all that stuff will do wonders for our economy!" Then it has been creeping in that they are a little... off. Not BECAUSE of their desire to "prep", just in general. Now if all of these people are a little off and they have a ton of guns, they may just bring about that which they fear is coming. It makes me a little nervous.
You Stay Classy, Tea Baggers
Republican Who Hosted M16 Shooting Event To ‘Remove’ Giffords In 2010 Wins Nomination For Her Seat
Republican Jesse Kelly, a construction manager and Tea Party favorite, won the Republican nomination primary last night to fill the seat left vacant by the resignation of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ). Kelly will face former Giffords district manager Ron Barber in the June 12th special election. Kelly, in his unsuccessful 2010 bid for the same seat, infamously hosted an M16 automatic weapons shooting campaign event to help supporters “get on target” to “help remove Gabrielle Giffords from office.” Just months later, a gunman went on a shooting spree at a Giffords community event in Tuscon, leaving six dead and a dozen wounded — including both Giffords and Barber. Giffords resigned her seat in January to focus on her recovery.

Actually, ammo has outperformed stocks and bonds as an investment the last 5 years.
Stay stupid Thinkprogress.
I remember the enlightened progressive meme that tied the two events together after the shooting, and was completely destroyed with a simple application of logic.
Funny (not) that thinkprogress.borg would regurgitate that line of "reasoning".
2012 the new Y2K.
Some might view this as an early form of hysteria, Drachen.
It's not just the Right wing that is preparing for some sort of "showdown" if the election doesn't go their way. One could argue that crack pot Louis Farrakan is fomenting some kind of racial holocaust if whites don't "surrender."
I'm not opposed to Nugent getting a visit from His Majesty's Secret Service -- he was spouting some pretty violent imagery -- even though I understood his metaphors were not much different than when the President encourages his followers to bloody some noses and bring a gun to a knife fight.
The being dead or in jail comment is probably what drew the Secret Service's attention.
In any case, I think The Nation of Islam and the The New Black Panther Party deserve the same scrutiny from the Department of Justice as Nugent is getting from Victoria's Secret Service.
I truly wonder what world you live in.. a very simple one I assume.
Don't forget the nutters that buy into "9-11 is an inside job". Alex Jones has been pushing "big bad goverment" conspiracies for a while now.
Such anti-authoritarian rhetoric generally has been a leftish cause, but has broken out of that traditional mold to infect people from all over the political spectrum.
Nugent has made some rather... colorful remarks already, before this, which is why he is getting more attention now.
Yoni must donate to the NBBP in an attempt to make them relevant.

My favorite was the hippy couple in the old nuclear weapon silo in Nebraska.
If I had the money, I would copy them, simply because living in an old nuclear weapons silo would be ing cool.
There are even whole undeground communities planned.

I smell money to be made on people's fear.
Oh, I don't know...I doubt anyone has the corner on "self-fulfilling prophecies"...
Nugents a goof. It's his shtick and it's definitely helped his comeback as the redneck rocker.
