Well, well, well. Look what we have here. Another tough-talking chicken hawk, Ted Nugent, who likes to play with machine guns in the safety of a rock concert. But when called upon to use the real thing in a real war, he got so scared he wet his pants. Richard Roeper tells all about draft-dodging Nugent in today's Chicago Sun-Times...
Over the weekend, there were several diaries and comments on how Ted Nugent is waving around machine guns, taunting Obama, Clinton, and liberals in general. Wouldn't you know, he's just another chickenhawk. In today's Chicago Sun-Times, Richard Roeper writes:
So Ted Nugent roams a concert stage while toting automatic weapons, calls Barack Obama "a piece of -----" and says he told Obama to suck on one of his machine-guns. He also calls Hillary Clinton a "worthless bitch" and Dianne Feinstein a "worthless whore."
That Nugent, he's a man's man. He talks the talk and walks the walk, right?
Except when it was time to register for the draft during the Vietnam era. By his own admission, Nugent stopped all forms of personal hygiene for a month and showed up for his draft board physical in pants caked with his own urine and feces, winning a deferment...
News Hounds has more about how he dodged the draft, but continues to brag about what he would have done, had he not been so scared of military service that he peed in his pants:
"... if I would have gone over there, I'd have been killed, or I'd have killed, or I'd kill all the hippies in the foxholes ... I would have killed everybody," he told the Detroit Free Press in an interview published July 15, 1990."
If you're compiling a list of chickenhawks, be sure to include Ted Nugent.
