Another Negro pisses off Ted.

The GOP's favorite son, Ted Nugent, has been all over the news lately. The folks over at CNN are really upset at Pedophile Teddy, and, like MSNBC with "Christiegate", and FOX Views with Benghazi, they will not let it go.


Ted, of course, is fighting back. Now he is going after Don Lemon. This makes sense, because Don Lemon has the highest profile of any black person on CNN.
And in case you didn't notice, Teddy doesn't like black folks too much.


"Unable to leave well enough alone, Ted Nugent took to Twitter on Friday evening to bash Don Lemon presumably after viewing the segment in which the CNN host accused the rocker of giving a disingenuous apology for his “sub-human mongrel” Obama remarks.


Speaking with Ben Ferguson this afternoon, Lemon suggested Nugent’s apology came with too many caveats and sounded “like he’s apologizing to himself or, possibly, to powerful Republicans who might have gotten him to take it back and do it fast.”


“If @DonnLemmon [sic] is a journalist Im the prez of the NAACP,” Nugent wrote on Twitter....

OK Ted, we get it, you are certifiably nuts. Now the big question is this: How many more GOP supporters are out there like you?  


Finally, I am not sure if I am happy or sad to learn that the noose found around the neck of the statue of a civil rights icon at the University of Mississippi was put there by members of a well respected college fraternity.


It's a good thing because it is not a hoax. This is good because when people lie about these things it diminishes and trivializes the real racism out here.


It's a bad thing because you would think that college educated young people would be too smart to embrace the ignorance that is usually reserved for your garden variety racist.


The three former members already face vandalism charges, but the university has also turned over its evidence to state and federal authorities. If it is determined that the noose — which was accompanied by an old Georgia flag bearing the emblem of the confederacy — represented a threat to other students, they could face hate crime charges.


The man who found the vandalized statue last Sunday said that two men walking away from the scene were uttering racial epithets. “I came up on a couple younger-looking boys by the loading dock that were yelling ‘white power’ and ‘f— n—–s’ on my way back over towards the statue,” he said. “When I rounded the corner of (the George Street House), I noticed the rope and the flag, and it definitely showed the Confederate flag.”


Just frat boys being frat boys.

Ted and Greg's new adventure.

"I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame enough Americans to be ever vigilant not to let a Chicago communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel like the acorn community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America."


Those were the words of de facto GOP spokesman, Ted Nugent.


Now usually this would not be that big of a deal, people on the right, in case you didn't notice, have a profound hatred for the president of these divided states of America, and they have been known to say worse things from time to time.


But Ted Nugent is now going on the campaign trail with the GOP candidate for governor of Texas, and so far it has been a match made in longhorn heaven.


Well, sort of....


"Nugent was interviewed in 2012 by the Secret Service after he said at the National Rifle Association's annual meeting that he would be either "dead or in jail by this time next year" if Obama is still in office.

The agency later cleared Nugent, saying the issue had been resolved and they were not anticipating further action.


But Abbott's campaign is brushing off Nugent's history of contentious comments.

"The controversy is what he said in the past. We are not endorsing Ted Nugent, he is supporting us," the aide said.

"It's easy to criticize some of the language he has used in the past,"
 the aide continued. 'He is protected under the Constitution, like you and I.'"


If you live in Texas and you vote for Gregg Abbott, you need to leave the voting booth and head straight to the shower.


But such is life in Texas. Hey, at least they have Austin as a place of refuge. If you live in the wonderful state of Mississippi where do you turn?


You would think that you would be able to find civilized and enlightened people on the campus of the state's finest institution of higher learning, but....


"The FBI on Tuesday was helping investigate who tied a noose around the neck of a University of Mississippi statue of James Meredith, who, in 1962, became the first black student to enroll in the then all-white Southern college.

University police on Sunday morning found the rope noose and, on the statue’s face, a pre-2003 Georgia state flag with a Confederate battle symbol, said campus police Chief Calvin Sellers. Two men were seen near the statue early Sunday and investigators were looking at surveillance footage." [Source]


But I am not going to make my racism chase only about the South. The big R is everywhere.


Right across the bridge in New Jersey hate and ignorance is starting at an early age.


"Just hours after a New Jersey high school wrestling team took a state title, a disturbing photograph has emerged that appears to show them posing with a black dummy hanging by its neck.

The seven boys, dressed in maroon and white Phillipsburg High School colors, are shown in various poses as a dummy hangs from the ceiling. Two of the boys wear pointed hoods that are reminiscent of Ku Klux Klan members.


In a morbid kind of caricature, the dummy appears to wear a wrestling shirt of the team's crushed competitor, Paulsboro High School, located just outside Philadelphia.According to the 2010 Census, 7.5 percent of the residents in Phillipsburg, located 19 miles northeast of Allentown, Penn., are black. In contrast, 36 percent of Paulsboro's residents are black." [Source]


Nice. Ted Nugent would be proud.
