Ted Nugent: "History Will Show That I'm Right"

by JASmius

....except for, you know, calling Hillary Clinton a "worthless bitch" and a "toxic cunt".

CNN's Erin Burnett talk to Rocker Ted Nugent about his controversial comments and Republican party.

Now I will admit that I don't think Barack Obama deserves the respect ordinarily accorded the office in which he squats, because, as Erin Burnett clearly does not understand, there is a distinction between the office and the officeholder.  Yes, I do get impatient with all the very-very and to-to, phony "civility" artifice that is demanded of us vis-a-vie the "mongrel in the White House" when left-wingnuts spent the preceding decade publicly indulging in assassination fantasies about President Bush, about which "animals" like Erin Burnett were conspicuously silent.  If Dems want civility, let them practice it themselves.

But Ted Nugent, God bless him, had to waste a fifteen minute or longer interview on CNN backtracking insults, however deserved, that it doesn't require much public relations acuity to realize should never have been uttered, because they caused him far more grief than they did his Obamunist targets.  Hell, the only reason CNN booked the interview was for the media equivalent of putting Nugent in stocks in the town square.  IOW, he made himself the topic instead of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.  And in politics, when you're having to explain yourself, you're losing.

Which kind of ties in with the "Fight!  Fight!  Fight!" mantra of the Tea Party, and why my advice to TPers remains the same: Yes, "Fight!," but do so intelligently, not by launching doomed frontal assaults, or coarse verbal fusillades that play right into the enemy's hands.
