Relax, Democrats, Nugent's just a rock 'n' roller
Just like Common was “just a rapper,” right? Oh no, that was a national scandal. Imagine if Common, or any black rapper for that matter, threatened to kill Mitt Romney… the House would vote to reinstate segregation.
But Nugent is no more a surrogate for Romney than the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. is for Obama. Just because someone with a microphone urges people to vote for a candidate doesn’t make him or her a “surrogate” for the campaign.
Bull. Fucking. Shit. Obama not only condemned Wright’s comments from seven-years prior, he had to give a speech about race in America. Mitt Romney won’t even condemn Nugent’s comments from seven hours ago… and Romney sought his endorsement! For chrissakes, Jon Healy, you even acknowledge this two paragraphs down!
It’s really not even about what Nugent said - we know he’s a psychotic manchild who’s desperate for attention - it’s the rampant hypocrisy that infects this party. Whether it’s Hilary Rosen, Jeremiah Wright, Common, or just someone he’s been in a room with like Bill Ayers, Obama’s “pallin’ around” with people have been described as “mom-hating, America-hating, cop-killing, terrorists.” But Mitt Romney seeks out the endorsement from two dumbass hillbillies like Nugent and Kid Rock and they’re “just rockers,” despite numerous arrests, admitted drug use, statutory rape and a laundry list of controversial comments.
And of course, all those attacks on Obama “surrogates” came from Fox News, the media outlet that frequently lends credibility to convicted felon, G. Gordon Liddy, alleged drug trafficker, Oliver North and admitted racist, convicted felon and disgraced police officer, Mark Fuhrman.
