Not surprising. All extremists firmly believe themselves to be moderates.

Because unfortunately his opinion does matter to the mouth breathing, knuckle dragging, window licking contingent, A.K.A. the Tealiban.

If he can convince people he's moderate than the guy behind him can say even crazier stuff and the media will report on it as an alternative to something the democrats are saying.

He's in way over his head. On the other hand, people seem to be taking him seriously so I'm not sure it's really his fault.

I wish I was in the room to hear the conversation when Cat Scratch Fever was written.

"And then I'll say 'I made that pussy purr with the stroke of my hand' because you see, it's like I'm petting a cat, but like, it's also like it's a pussy, you know?"

You know who else...?

On November 24, 1933, the Tierschutzgesetz, or animal protection law, was introduced, with Adolf Hitler announcing an end to animal cruelty: "Im neuen Reich darf es keine Tierquälerei mehr geben." ("In the new Reich, no more animal cruelty will be allowed.") It was followed on July 3, 1934 by the Reichsjagdgesetz, prohibiting hunting; on July 1, 1935 by the Naturschutzgesetz, a comprehensive piece of environmental legislation; on November 13, 1937 by a law regulating animal transport by car; and on September 8, 1938 by a similar one dealing with animals on trains. The least painful way to shoe a horse was prescribed, as was the correct way to cook a lobster to prevent them from being boiled alive. Several senior Nazis, including Hitler, Rudolf Hess, Joseph Goebbels, and Heinrich Himmler, adopted some form of vegetarianism.

Ted Nugent- - Brave Patriot

"High Times: How did you get out of the draft?

Ted Nugent: Ted was a young boy, appearing to be a hippie but quite opposite in fact, working hard and playing hard, playing rock and roll like a deviant. People would question my sanity, I played so much. So I got my notice to be in the draft. Do you think I was gonna lay down my guitar and go play army? Give me a break! I was busy doin' it to it. I had a career Jack. If I was walkin' around, hippying down, getting' loaded and pickin' my ass like your common curs, I'd say "Hey yeah, go in the army. Beats the poop out of scuffin' around in the gutters." But I wasn't a gutter dog. I was a hard workin', motherf***n' rock and roll musician.

I got my physical notice 30 days prior to. Well, on that day I ceased cleansing my body. No more brushing my teeth, no more washing my hair, no baths, no soap, no water. Thirty days of debris build. I stopped shavin' and I was 18, had a little scraggly beard, really looked like a hippie. I had long hair, and it started gettin' kinky, matted up. Then two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value. I just had chips, Pepsi, beer-stuff I never touched-buttered poop, little jars of Polish sausages, and I'd drink the syrup, I was this side of death, Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. poop, pi** the whole shot. My pants got crusted up.

See, I approached the whole thing like, Ted Nugent, cool hard-workin' dude, is gonna wreak havoc on these imbeciles in the armed forces. I'm gonna play their own game, and I'm gonna destroy 'em. Now my whole body is crusted in poop and pi**. I was ill. And three or four days before, I started stayin' awake. I was close to death, but I was in control. I was extremely antidrug as I've always been, but I snorted some crystal methedrine. Talk about one wounded motherf****r. A guy put up four lines, and it was for all four of us, but I didn't know and I'm vacuuming that poop right up. I was a walking, talking hunk of human poop. I was six-foot-three of sin. So the guys took me down to the physical, and my nerves, my emotions were distraught. I was not a good person. I was wounded. But as painful and nauseous as it was - 'cause I was really into bein' clean and on the ball - I made gutter swine hippies look like football players. I was deviano.

So I went in, and those guys in uniform couldn't believe the smell. They were ridiculin' me and pushin' me around and I was cryin', but all the time I was laughin' to myself. When they stuck the needle in my arm for the blood test I passed out, and when I came to they were kicking me into the wall. Then they made everybody take off their pants, and I did, and this sergeant says, "Oh my God, put those back on! You f*****g swine you!" Then they had a urine test and I couldn't pi**, but my poop was just like ooze, man, so I poop in the cup and put it on the counter. I had poop on my hand and my arm. The guy almost puked. I was so proud. I knew I had these chumps beat. The last thing I remember was wakin' up in the ear test booth and they were sweepin' up. So I went home and cleaned up.

They took a putty knife to me. I got the street rats out of my hair, ate some good steaks, beans, potatoes, cottage cheese, milk. A couple of days and I was ready to kick ass. And in the mail I got this big juicy 4-F. They'd call dead people before they'd call my ass. But you know the funny thing about it? I'd make an incredible army man. I'd be a colonel before you knew what hit you, and I'd have the baddest bunch of motherf****n' killers you'd ever seen in my platoon. But I just wasn't into it. I was too busy doin' my own thing, you know."

There's too ways to interpret that.
1. The Nazis had a lot of rules for how things were done relating to animals.

The way I interpret it is: even if you have good motives in one specific area, it doesn't make you a great guy. Just like Nugent's charity work doesn't absolve him of being a raging asshole.

A friend gave me a ticket to see him at the House of Blues in Atlantic City last fall, so I went forgetting how distasteful his viewpoints are, show was so-so, kind of sad, but he kept trying to interject this political claptrap into it and thankfully the crowd reacted "meh", like whatever Ted. I think the only people who really care or are affected by his nutty views are people that already are there with him. If anything that interview this morning just made him look like more of a nutcase than he already was perceived as.

Concert sounded better once I put earplugs in. Bad sound, or maybe I'm just getting old.

That's how I'd argue it. I was confused as to what you were getting at.

Another Nuge related argument I've been seeing (and also heard applied to people like Kardashians) is that since they're famous they must be intelligent. That they have to be really smart to know how to keep their face in the news all the time.

And I'm here to say that's bullshiat. They're in the news because they are dumb and loud. Dumb and loud gets attention. Ted isn't cleverly crafting a strategy to get into the media. He really thinks that what he is saying is accurate and intelligent. It's his conviction to speak every dumb thing that get him attention. That's not cunning intelligence.

Ted's got the Duning-Krueger.

Next on FOX NEWS: Noted moderate Ted Nugent discusses how he wants to shoot the President. Providing the sensible conservative rebuttal will be John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald.

Mister Nugent, you are not a 'moderate'.

I'd say you're a solidly right wing (not right of center, not centrist with a touch of right-handedness), with a penchant for going borderline fundamentalist, xenophobic, racist, and anti-intellectual.

And if you the above mentioned lengths to avoid service, I do hope someone in uniform defecates on your album. Seems fitting.
