Ted Nugent: GOP/Rightwing/NRA/Conservative FAV
This headlines here from Media Matters (February 24, 2014 ) is very
disconcerting:
“NRA's Nugent Warns of 'Power Struggle Between the Different
Races' as U.S.
Becomes Like Nazi Germany ”
WTF??? Tell me, why do so many people just like Ted Nugent
keep getting the national spotlight and sucking all the oxygen out of the air
with this kind of coverage? This same question also applies to the likes of a Sen. Ted Cruz, or Sen. Rand
Paul, or Sen. Marco Rubio, or Rep. Louis Gohmert, or Gov. Nikki Haley, or Gov. Bobby Jindal, of Gov. Scott Walker, or the Koch brothers, or most others cut from that same cloth who appear mostly on FOX and rightwing Talk Radio. Truly,
why do we tolerate them and their garbage speech?
Most will say it’s “Freedom of the Press and Freedom of
Speech,” and that is fully understandable and I totally support both. But, what
the hell ever happened to responsible speech and non-inflammatory speech. In
short, it’s slanted opinion, for sure, and yes, we all have strong opinions,
but whatever happened to facts and honesty vs. this kind of Nugent crap.
The exposure they constantly get is irresponsible and has
one purpose as far as I can determine: divide and keep the country on edge with
uncertainty. What does it say about us as a people and society? Um ... most
will say: freedom to speak anyway one wants, but I ask again: Why do we tolerate
such a low standard over national airwaves.
