Ted Nugent Drama of the Day: Ted Nugent, at the NRA convention Saturday:
“If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.”
A Secret Service spokesman, responding accordingly:
“We are aware of the incident, and we are conducting appropriate follow-up.”
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, going on the offensive today:
“Mitt Romney must condemn Nugent’s violent and hateful rhetoric immediately, as it has no place in our political discourse or this campaign.”
Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul, forced to play defense:
“Divisive language is offensive no matter what side of the political aisle it comes from. Mitt Romney believes everyone needs to be civil.”
Sigh.
[ww]
Why would the Romney campaign even acknowledge this guy’s comments? That’s fucking stupid. Acknowledging his remarks and asking him to condemn them means that you actually care about what he says, WHICH IS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU SHOULD DO. ”Uncle Ted” is borderline insane and everyone knows it, so why doesn’t Romney?](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2ncoqYIna1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)
