I just saw that a few minutes before you posted. Somewhat inexplicable.

Meh.  It's Ted through and through.  He is an extreme guy.  I thought that it was a good interview and I am a moderate.

Given how articulate he has been in the past, I'm really starting to wonder if this is:

1) Some sorta act
2) He is actually starting to lose it
3) Both

We all have cycles through the day.  At some points in the day, discussing some topics, we all get more heated than at other times.  Ted was talking about taking a dying kid on his last fishing trip.  There is raw emotion in that and the jump to anger would be a short one.

Maybe a tin foil Stetson is in order. Bonus, add a cool-aid holder on the side.

So what, he is using dying children imagery to further himself.

At some level, probably.  He was giving an example of how he is good and caring human being, and that seemed to set him off.

"I'm a perfect human being..."

Cat Scratch Fever isn't that good... really.  :P

I think he was angry about the Army thing, which would likely make any activist/performer heated. I don't agree with his comments, nor his politics, nor the way in which he chooses to express them, but I think the media scrutiny and reaction is indicative of media hype over substance.

I mean really, do we think Ted Nugent is going to become an assassin?

The idea that Ted Nugent is a moderate is rather terrifying...

It might terrify Ted most of all.

I like that hat he was wearing.

His meeting with the Secret Service was "adorable".

Ted is amusing in a looney tunes sorta way, but he ain't no moderate.

God that interview was wonderful!

^ Meh.

I was never a Nugent fan. And that really had nothing to do with his politics. Funny, I really never knew he was an activist until last month. I'm not even sure I knew he was still alive!
