Ted Nugent apologizes to President Obama, but not really.
Controversial rocker Ted Nugent said his remarks calling President Barack Obama a “subhuman mongrel” crossed the line on Friday, after his campaign appearance with Texas’s Republican gubernatorial hopeful caused a stir.
Nugent was asked by conservative radio host Ben Ferguson on his show if he would apologize to the president.
“Yes I would,” Nugent said according to audio aired on CNN. “I did cross the line. I do apologize, not necessarily to the president, but on behalf of much better men than myself, like the best governor in America, Gov. Rick Perry, the best attorney general in America.”
“On behalf of those professional politicians and those who put their heart and soul into representing we the people so aptly like the gentlemen I just mentioned, I apologize for using the street-fighter terminology of subhuman mongrel instead of just using more understandable language such as violator of his oath, the Constitution, the liar that he is,” Nugent said. “I apologize for using the term subhuman mongrel and I will try to elevate my vernacular to the level of those great men that I’m learning from in the world of politics.”
Asked one more time if he was apologizing directly to the president, Nugent said, “Yes.”
By the way "subhuman mongrel" is not any "street-fighter terminology" that I have ever heard, and unlike this poopy pants pansie ass I actually WAS a street-fighter.
If Nugent had REALLY wanted to man up and offer a sincere apology he would not have run with his tail between his legs from the CNN interview with Erin Burnett.
No this is no apology in my opinion. However it is an indication that Nugent went way too far with these insults. Too far for even the likes of Rand Paul and Ted Cruz to provide cover for him.
After all once you have lost the support of the fringe, what option do you have left but to fake an apology?
Of course it is really a little late as the damage to Greg Abbott's campaign has already been done as demonstrated by the fact that a local Dallas paper is now asking him to defend Nugent's song "Jailbait" which is about having sex with underage girls.
You know I think the days of Ted Nugent being asked to help with anybody's campaign are now pretty much a thing of the past.
