"The Nuge" had to open his big mouth...

[Archae]

Sheesh...

Washington Times columnist, National Rifle Association board member, and prominent Mitt Romney supporter Ted Nugent is speaking out on last week's horrific mass shooting in Aurora, CO, declaring that there were "no assault weapons used in the CO shooting only universally proven sporting & self defense firearms."

Nugent also praised the "brave warriors who saved lives" during the massacre adding, "IF only they would hav had a good gun."

1. stfu teddy. tell the dead they weren't 'assaulted'

[freshwest]

2. Since his music career is in the toilet, the GOP/NRA/RobMe machine pays him by the fart.

Good old CrapPantsFever strikes again.

3. If you go by the technical term "assault rifle".

But most people think an M-16 and an AR-15 are the same thing just because they look alike.

4. WHat an asshole

Yes, shooting blindly into a crowd would have been such a great idea! And any responsible gun owner would never have pulled their weapon anyway. But this has been said a million times. These arm chair warriors need to go away!

7. Let's see someone draw a bead while retching from tear gas.

[alfredo]

5. Just what we need, a bunch of armed people in a dark, tear gas laden room, and panicked

people running around shooting at anything that looks menacing.

[Robyn66]

9. Right!

That's why I say no responsible gun owner would draw under those circumstances because they knew what could happen. Now the other side is that there could also have been a yahoo hero wannabe in there that could have caused a lot more people to get killed.

21. Wasn't there an armed security guard at the Gifford's shooting?

6. There was a reality show called I think, Rockband

There was a reality show called I think, Rockband.

Nuge was in it and listening to him talk was excruciating. He always tried to sound like a big intellectual using large words but what he said didn't make sense. He talked like a teenager with an adults' vocabulary.

If they show it again, take a look when they show nuge.

BTW, I remember when Cat Scratch Fever came out in the '70s. He hasn't changed. Pathetic.

What's that character's name in Living Color, Oswald Banes who said things like, allow me to expose my colon. He was awesome.

8. What else would one expect from a Pederast chickenhawk?

19. oswald bates..

it's a C-O-N-uhhhhhh..... spiracy.

[rustydog]

10. The only thing this ass-wipe shoots off is his ignorant mouth

He is entitled to his opinion. Funny, with all his expertise, we haven't learned of him apprehending one mass murderer, one sniper, one liquor store robber, one armed rapist, one child rapist. Nothing, nada, zip. just another conservative tough-talking wannabe.

But he can sure shoot off his mouth with ignorant brashness.

[pinboy3niner]

11. The Nuge would have been reduxing his VN 'out'

And probably knocking women and children out of the way in his efforts to escape.

The Nuge?

[hamsterjill]

12. Yeah, he praised the "brave warriors", but at the same time, he's back door criticizing them.

Because none of them thought to carry a gun with them, and tried to shoot Holmes.

This kind of rhetoric is NOT helpful for the people trying to live through this tragedy. I am sure that many, if not all, of the survivors are going to feel some degree of guilt simply for having survived while others perished. It's a pretty standard thing after a tragedy like this. Comments like Nugent's only add to that guilt by asking people to think of the "what if's" that might or might not have even been possible.

He should have ended his comment by praising the brave - the rest was completely uncalled for.

[eShirl]

13. If Nougat had been there he could have bravely crapped his pants

again.

15. "Self professed pedophile and Romney supporter Ted Nugent

dutifully toes NRA line and expresses tired platitudes. The D-list celebrity also repeated standard pro-gun phraseology/arguments in a chillingly unoriginal manner and provided roadkill stew to those in attendance."

The end.

16. "sporting & self defense firearms" - with a 100 round magazine

If your 'sport' is massacring an entire herd of deer, or you're defending yourself from the zombie apocalypse, he might have a point ...

[Raine]

17. Nugent & shit, I can't think of one without the other. nt

[Lawlbringer]

18. Fire blindly in a crowded movie theater...in the dark...

That would've made the tragedy that much better. A crossfire. BRILLIANT.

[Initech]

20. False patriot telling victims to shoot first and ask questions later - what's new?

[CBGLuthier]

22. How about we call them "ridiculously efficient killing machines" since assault rifle

offends the gun crowds fucking precious sensibilities.

[LynneSin]

23. What a douchebag

Does the asshole know that Holmes was covered with bullet proof vests?
