Here's Terrilble Ted in some rare Non-Concert Footage
And here's how Twisted Sister Lead Singer Dee Snider responded when asked about Ted's threat to have another "Concord Bridge" event if Obama, sneezes or rubs his nose or something.
“Ted’s always been a gun-toting conservative,” he said after being asked to opine on Nugent’s claim that he’s prepared to launch an armed revolt against the U.S. government over the reelection of Presidnet Barack Obama. “But what gets me is that he was actually a draft dodger! I mean, to the point where he didn’t bathe for a week, and vomited on himself to deliberately avoid the draft.”
It wasn’t all criticism, though: “I totally understand why he did that,” Snider added, “but all of these Republicans who love Ted don’t seem to know or remember that too well. It’s crazy that he’s become one of the voices of conservative America even though he was a draft dodger. If you don’t believe me, Google it.”

Ted's original comment.
Speaking to fans during an NBC-sponsored gun show, Nugent said that Obama “is attempting to re-implement the tyranny of King George that we escaped from in 1776,” adding: “If you want another Concord bridge, I’ve got some buddies.”

Frankly I find that actually fairly minor. It's just blowhardism and bullshit. However, it's THIS that I think is worse because it acts as a justification and rationale (false though it is) for people to resort to violence.
He added that Obama “hires, appoints and associates with communists,” and that he’s “an evil, dangerous man who hates America and hates freedom. And we need to fix this as soon as possible.”

Now, just a few weeks ago Ted was offerring a
polite kindly letter of "Advice" to the Vice President on his gun control panel.
Of course Ted's advice on Gun Control was not to Control Guns. Instead it was to control the "crazed killer" people. Yet isn't it ironic then that GOP & NRA have opposed fully funding and implementing the George W. Bush passed law to strengthen the National Instant Criminal Background Check System to include those reported as mentally disturbed, particularly for private purchasers who can take advantage of the "gun show" loophole?
Of course, Ted being Ted completely missed the point of Dee's comment and instead choose to call him a 'Liar".
Nugent lashed back at Snider on Twitter, saying he had fallen “for the big lie” and adding: “I challenge u to man up to the truth We xpected btr.”

If Dee has "Fallen for a Big Lie" - then the person who is the
Big Liar is Nugent Himself since he was the one who told the draft dodging story in the first place to
High Times in 1977.
“Well, on that day I ceased cleansing my body,” Nugent said. “No more brushing my teeth, no more washing my hair, no baths, no soap, no water. Thirty days of debris build. I stopped shavin’ and I was 18, had a little scraggly beard, really looked like a hippie. I had long hair, and it started gettin’ kinky, matted up. Then two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value. I just had chips, Pepsi, beer-stuff I never touched-buttered poop, little jars of Polish sausages, and I’d drink the syrup, I was this side of death. Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. Poop, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up.” Raw Story (http://s.tt/...)
This is Ted's Draft Form here - and from it you can see that he avoided the war mostly by getting student deferments, at least until his final exam where he received a "4F".
So clearly, how exactly did rough tough bow-hunting Ted - the Motor City Madman - qualify for a 4F? If it wasn't the story he told High Times? What was it? And still - no matter what it was - he could have always Volunteered if he was half the "bad ass" he pretends to be. (The way that Bill Clinton signed up for ROTC training and then when he decided his heart wasn't in it and quit - which meant he was Put Back Into the Draft Pool, after which he simply wasn't selected since the war was ending) If Clinton was called "Draft Dodger" for doing something that put him back in the pool, what should Nugent be called for getting 5 different - as many as Dick Cheney's - school deferments, before he had his magical mystical "4F"?
This is why it's pointless to take Ted's little side-long threats from "Concord Bridge" to "Chopping their heads off" seriously.
He's not a serious man. Like most Blowhard Crap-Talking Gun Wack-jobs, he's a Chickenhawk Coward.
Unfortunately there are more than a few serious, survivalist, soverign-tists, 2nd Amendment Absolutists Wack-Jobs who aren't cowards like the Nuge that just might attempt a Tim McVeigh, or Robert Rudolph, or a Byron Williams, or a James Adkisson styled mass casualty attack after they listen to just enough shit-talk from people like Jim "I'm gonna start killing people" Yeager.
The question is, when the shooting and/or bombing starts - and trust me it's already started, we just haven't been paying attention - will most of the public react as they did to McVeigh, or to Sandy Hook instead of jumping on the Ted-Wagon?
I think the former, and I think - following the next impending tragedy - Ted and Jim Yeager and Wayne LaPierre will say a bunch more STUPID THREATENING SHIT which will be about as popular as "Wango Tango" Part II.
Count on it.
