Well, again we come full circle to an OP topic. Never mind the attempted derail about guitar talent, what exactly is it that Ted says that is so upsetting?
One comment already trotted out, was that he said that Hendix was a crappy guitarist...turns out that the actual quote is that Hendrix et al may have died before giving us their best work.
Another line that inflames is the 'I've just got one thing to say to all of you people who don't understand a word of English... go back home!'
Of course if Cheech Marin said it with an exaggerated accent, and a wink, everyone would get the joke...
('People who don't understand a word of English' would not be able to be offended, unless they brought a translator to the Nugent concert with them.)
And Nugent's advice on how to curb the spread of AIDs is a little oversimplified, but anatomically correct...gay men who engage in zero unprotected anal sex probably do have a lower chance of contracting the disease.
Face it, Ted Nugent is the counterbalance to Michael Moore...
it isn't so much what he says, it is how he says it that drives some people crazy, and makes them willing to attack him personally on any and all levels.
It is called being a 'gadfly'.. It got Socrates a cup of poison for his troubles.
And today, it is making Nugent, Limbaugh, Coulter, and a few others rich(er).
"Another line that inflames is the 'I've just got one thing to say to all of you people who don't understand a word of English... go back home!'
Never heard that one,but it strikes me a ugly and hateful.
When he said that,it was for his audience,not to the non-English speaker.

That`s about as silly a notion as I`ve ever heard.Right,he-he, Bring a translator to a Nuge concert?Get it?Try to defend the Nuge`s comments w/ something more believable.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"what exactly is it that Ted says that is so upsetting?"
You`re kidding ,right?It`s one of those things,I guess,that if you don`t know,it can`t be explained.
"Of course if Cheech Marin said it with an exaggerated accent, and a wink, everyone would get the joke..."
So,.. you know all about what context is, and understand that a Jew,tell`n a Jewish joke ,to a group of jews ,is different then a bigot,tell`n a hurtful joke about how jews are stingy or have big noses.And the difference between a black guy using the "n" word with his friends,and a bigot, call`n a black guy the n-word.I think Ted was playing to fear and loathing.I`ve never seen him do something up lifting.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"And Nugent's advice on how to curb the spread of AIDs is a little oversimplified, but anatomically correct...gay men who engage in zero unprotected anal sex probably do have a lower chance of contracting the disease."
Oh my....What a buffoon.Thanks for sharing that about Ted.
The people getting HIV in the US.are mostly IV drug users,and their sex partners.Nothing to do with gay,there.I`m not gay,but I hear that oral sex is what happens most.And plenty of straight people,including myself ,enjoy anal sex.<pauses,reflects on that>And the disease can be spread through most any intimate act,by both men and women and in any combination.
To me,the statement shows ignorance,bigotry towards gays,a serious lack of knowledge,a desire to spread mis-information .Oh, and BTW,any and all persons ,....who engage in zero unprotected anal sex probably do have a lower chance of contracting the disease.Duhh!What a dope.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Face it, Ted Nugent is the counterbalance to Michael Moore... "
If that`s true,....THANK YOU GOD!
"it isn't so much what he says, it is how he says it that drives some people crazy, and makes them willing to attack him personally on any and all levels."
Believe me,lol,...it`s what he says,...not how. lol
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If a guy puts himself out there in public,and screams and criticizes,he should expect some in return.If you do talk shows and rant,and attack people,don`t be a cry baby and whine, when people call you on your shit.He`s no victim.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"It got Socrates a cup of poison for his troubles."
Oh my god...
To equate Socrates with the "Nuge" is true an insult(to Socrates).
How dare you.....
ok,.......Bwah-ha-ha-ha,<continues to laugh>
