Subject: Hunting Season: GOP Death Threats Against Democrats'
Presidential Candidates
August 24, 2007
During Vicious Onstage Rant, NRA Board Member Threatens to Kill
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton
GunGuys.com is urgently demanding that the National Rifle
Association immediately remove Ted Nugent from his position as a
board member of the NRA after Nugent threatened United States
Senators and Presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
This is the latest in a series of unacceptable extremist rhetoric
-- and in this case a threat against the life of U.S. Senators --
from NRA role model and activist, Ted Nugent.
According to Rolling Stone magazine:
Renegade right-winger Ted Nugent recently went on a vicious onstage
rant in which he threatened the lives of Democratic presidential
candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Decked out in full
camouflage gear, Nugent wielded two machine guns while raging,
“Obama, he’s a piece of shit. I told him to suck on my machine gun.
Hey Hillary,” he continued. “You might want to ride one of these
into the sunset, you worthless bitch.” Nugent summed up his
eloquent speech by screaming “freedom!”
This isn’t the first time Nugent has been caught spewing hatred.
Last January, the guitarist caused a scandal for Republican Texas
governor Rick Perry when he, among other abhorrent comments, wore a
Confederate flag shirt and insulted immigrants at Perry’s
inauguration event. In July, Nugent was quoted in a Wall Street
Journal story blaming “dirty stinking hippies” for “rising rates of
divorce, high school drop-outs, drug use, abortion, sexual diseases
and crime, not to mention the exponential expansion of government
and taxes.”
Gun Guys.com will have more to say about this vile and disturbing
rhetoric from the National Rifle Association soon. But for now, it
is incumbent on the NRA to forcefully and categorically distance
itself from its board member, Ted Nugent, by demanding his
immediate resignation from the board of directors.
Second, Gun Guys.com is calling on the NRA to apologize both to
Senators Obama and Clinton and pledge to disavow all forms of hate
speech and threats to political candidates from individuals
affiliated -- in this case as a member of its governing body --
with the National Rifle Association.
In the 2000 presidential election campaign, Charlton Heston, then
head of the NRA, called for the lynching of Al Gore during a
Michigan campaign rally for George W. Bush.
The NRA's failure to immediately remove Ted Nugent from the NRA's
board will signal its complicity in these contintued threats and
vile rhetoric.
