Ted Nugent Stands By Obama Remarks, Compares Himself To 'Black Jew At A Nazi-Klan Rally' (AUDIO)

Ted Nugent stood by his controversial comments about President Barack Obama and Democrats made over the weekend, telling conservative radio host Dana Loesch on Tuesday that he had been unfairly targeted for saying he would "either be dead or in jail" by next year if Obama is reelected.

"I'm a black Jew at a Nazi-Klan rally," the rock star complained to Loesch. "And there are some power-abusing, corrupt monsters in our federal government that despise me because I have the audacity to speak the truth."

Nugent continued: "I spoke at the NRA and will stand by my speech. It's 100 percent positive. It's about we the people taking back our American dream from the corrupt monsters in the federal government under this administration, the communist czars he has appointed."

The Secret Service is reportedly investigating Nugent in the wake of his Saturday tirade at the NRA convention in St. Louis. Nugent's hits include the 1977 classic "Cat Scratch Fever." He has endorsed Mitt Romney for president.

Later in the radio interview, Nugent went after Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who condemned Nugent's remarks on Tuesday as she called on Romney to answer for the rocker's rhetoric with a DNC petition and web video.

"Wasserman Schultz is such a brain-dead, soulless idiot," Nugent told Loesch. "I could not be more proud that this soulless, heartless idiot feebly attempts to find fault with Ted Nugent, because I am on the right track and she just encourages me to stand stronger."

Nugent also compared Wasserman Schultz and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to "varmints."

"Varmints are sometimes clever, but they're really easy to outmaneuver," Nugent said, before calling Pelosi a "sub-human scoundrel."

Nugent also weighed in on Mitt Romney's campaign's response to his remarks. Romney himself has not commented, but campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul deemed Nugent's words "offensive."

"I think Mitt Romney's already denounced my guitar playing because it's too sexy," Nugent said. "Mitt Romney knows what I'm saying is true. He puts it in the words for him, I put in the words for me."

This man is a fraud and a Liar. He is a grown adult ( technically), yet all that he can do is to threaten people, call them foul names, and scream loudly over the voices of reason. If my children had ever mouthed off like that, I would have grounded them! How can anyone respect a man who has said and done the things that he has?

Right. Nugent is just like a black jew at a Nazi-Klan rally. Except that he's not the black jew. He's the Nazi Klan cretin.

Nugent is a lying coward. He said he would either be in jail or dead if Obama get reelected. He is now trying to say this did not constitute a threat.

I understand how the "dead" part of the statement might mean that Ted would take his own life if Obama is back in office again. I support Ted's right to suicide and would, in spite of laws that might put ME in prison, be willing to assist in this effort.

But WHAT, Mr. Nugent, could possibly put you in jail come next November 3rd? C'mon, Ted, man-up! Say what you mean and mean what you say. Stop being a coward.

He does not have any respect for the protection of OUR wildlife. It is all about the thrill of killing something that had a right to live and then dragging the corpse around like he is such a big hunter. Animal life is insignificant to him. Then when he is confronted about his remarks, he acts like a little girl and says those remarks did not mean anything. Without your guns and arrows, you are just a big mouth jerk. You would not last a day with our awesome military men.

WOW, I find it very interesting that Nugent has enough influence to bring on such passionate debate. Personally, I love the guy's music and don't care if he hunts. I know, based on the Great White Buffalo, that he respects wild life. Eat what you take and work hand in hand with the wild. It's a native american thing, which I think a lot of people do not get. Speaking as a native american, I always got him and find him very interesting and wish I could sit with him.

Ted Nugent is so full of it. if anything he's a Nazi-Klan member. People like neo-nazis and KKK members support him and he knows it. He's just trying to "put a fast one" on us.

If animals are so easy to outmaneuver, why does Nugent have to pit lamp and bait his kills?

I'm sure he knows a lot about KKK rallies.

They now make cars that automatically brake when you should've. They should make microphones that cease working when you say stupid stuff. Isn't the world just full of people who become fools when given a podium?!

**Continuation of previous comment**

I wish we could find a common ground and work together to level the playing field and restore America to her former glory, minus the negativity. Things CAN change, and they WILL..but not through anger and hatred, through connectivity and support across racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, and political lines. Spew positivity to change things and speak up for yourself; one does not have to fall to raise another. There is room for everyone at the top of the mountain, we just all need to hold hands.

"...taking back my American Dream"?! I wonder if Nugent is aware that Republicans have been slowly but methodically disenfranchising non-Republicans in the MI legislature. Regardless of your political affiliations, I would think that someone who is concerned about the "American Dream" would be extremely concerned about these types of actions occurring with increasing regularity. I do not understand the hatred, but I can tell you that the things some of these commenters are posting with regard to Black Americans and how "great" things are for them come from a place of total lack of knowledge and, I am sorry, but ignorance. There are many helpful programs in place that are and were intended to offer support, but for numerous reasons they have gone off-track and are being poorly administered and causing problems all-around. To refer to an entire race of people as being lucky whose ancestors were forcibly brought to a foreign country to be used as slave labor by a group of greedy entrepreneurs, many of whom were like others who infiltrated and occupied the home countries of these same people, raping the land and citizens for their own greed & desires is ridiculous and unfounded. I understand there is frustration; there is miscommunication & a lot of mistakes are being made on all sides of this issue. However, HATE & BIGOTRY is not the answer to making things better, it never has been and it never will be.

Yessireee. He could use his album cover of the hog-tied naked woman with the grenade stuffed into her mouth as a campaign poster. It would be stellar.

Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
We hear the grievances....... Where is the gratitude??
Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to
Altoona ? And Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many
were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for
'deserving' white kids...? Is white America really responsible for the fact
that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times
those of white America ? Is it really white America 's fault that
illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the
black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?
Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the
black community itself?
As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while
white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals
choose white victims 45 percent of the time?
Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the
reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first
three years of this decade as the reverse?

Jimmy- While I respect your right to express your opinion, you really MUST recognize that what you are saying is fundamentally flawed. What exactly should "blacks" have gratitude for? Have you no awareness of the impact on this generation that the treatment of previous generations has had? When your grandmother was a sharecropper and her mother was an illiterate slave, it takes some time for your family to work their way to the prosperity that was handed down from affluent white families to the next generation of affluent white families. I recognize what you are thinking is that there are programs intended to help those who are struggling, but nobody really WANTS to be reliant on government assistance and be poor. The key is education and training, supporting one another, and reaching out to make things better...to make a change. If you saw some of the conditions of these schools, perhaps you would better understand the inclination to drop out. Maybe a lot of those young people had to drop out to help support their families. There is always more behind the scenes that we do not know.

Well put Niles.

My wife and I just bought a house, we didn't have the credit to get a loan so my mom lent us the money to make a cash offer and we refinanced to pay her back. That's how my family's accumulated wealth worked for me as a white american. My wife is black and the first person in her family to get a college degree; she would have had it much sooner had to drop out of college when she lost her scholarship due to working 4-6 jobs on top of a full course load trying to support her family while in school. That's how her lack of family wealth held her back as a black american.

As Chris Rock said "the black man gotta fly to get to somethin' the white man can walk to."

You have raised alot statistics and most of them are correct.
However ever,black people don't need white people generosity, they need opportunity.
And its not just black people who need opportunity, everyone needs opportunity
to be something. Low education,limited oportunites,poverty all lead to the same state in all communities.

You list the evils & crimes of black people, what of the evils of white people,serial killing,peodophiles
mothers who kill their own children, military people who disrepect the dead, slavery, indebted servitude
etc? Have read some the things happening in the south? kid being caged in dog kernel to death ?
Creepy is in every race, not just black.

Consider the Trayvon Martin case,there was no rioting as was previously before in LA and elsewhere where similar thing have happended previously.
Failure is the black commuinity is grave,its getting better,irrespective of what you may want to believe.

Lastly,all the things you raised above had nothing to do with the matter at hand,
this was about Nugent and his peculiar choice of words in his exercise of freedom of speech.
So, if Obama gets re-elected, he will end up in jail. You end up in jail when you commit a crime,
you cannot commit yourself to jail...even by personal choice,
if he knows in advance he is going to commit a crime, then the society, needs to know,
so that it can prepare, crimes usually affect other people you.....
