If you haven’t had enough from Rush Limbaugh and all the other haters this week, look what popped up on Twitter this afternoon:
Yes, I understand: no one will ask Romney whether it was appropriate for him to prostrate himself before this guy and beg for his endorsement because everyone in the elite media has agreed to ignore the fact that Nugent has said things like this:
About Hillary Clinton: “You probably can’t use the term ‘toxic cunt’ in your magazine, but that’s what she is. Her very existence insults the spirit of individualism in this country. This bitch is nothing but a two-bit whore for Fidel Castro.”
Or this:
Decked out in full-on camouflage hunting gear, Nugent wielded two machine guns while raging, “Obama, he’s a piece of shit. I told him to suck on my machine gun. Hey Hillary,” he continued. “You might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch.” Nugent summed up his eloquent speech by screaming “freedom!”
And on and on and … oh, do I have to run through this again? A lot of us have been complaining about Nugent’s untouchable status for years, and nobody cares about what we’re saying ‘cuz he’s so darn colorful, right? So, yeah, I guess it’s just fine that he’s endorsing Romney.
(Adapted from a post at No More Mister Nice Blog.)
in Michigan, Nugent had the weirdest hunting show ever. He would shoot deer through the heart with a crossbow and then he’d lie down with them and pet them and basically dry-hump the corpse while whispering sweet-nothings in its non-hearing ears.
It was educational as far as hunting goes. But it was soooo creepy.
isn’t nugent the one who adopted is “young” girlfriend and then married her afterwards.
Someone should ask Mitens about that if true?
Speaking of Mittens, Mittens response to Rush-bo’s bs is “it’s not the language I would have used..” really, that’s as strong as Mittens can get??? I hope the next question posed to Mittens is “well what fuckin’ language would you use guv’na”.
These men are fuckin’ cowards!
These last few weeks the shadow of a strange lurch seems to been emerging. Maybe it started with the Komen/Planned Parenthood debacle. But it was fueled by the continued abuse of women all in the name of freedom of religion.
And then Rush and O’Reilly twisted themselves into Nugent shaped pretzels to climb the hill of ignorant arrogance and Rush’s bubble burst. He went too far this week and the backlash is building with now 4 advertisers pulling out from his show.
If ever there were an opportunity to teach Rush an Imus lesson this would be it. Once you take down Rush, the free ride for his ilk will run out of gas. When if not now?
And yet, P.M. Carpenter makes a good case for leaving Rush and the GOP to twist slowly in the wind of their own gasbaggery:

A persuasive concurring argument by one Robert Lipscomb appears in the comments.
While reading your comment, the title “Naked Lunch” jumped into my head. A little flashback from the dim and distant past.
