Nugent Ousted From Concert: Liberty Takes Another on the Chin-Again

[ABikerSailor]

Styx and REO Speedwagon are who's left on the bill.

Damn! I didn't know REO was still doing concerts. Saw both of those groups in the 70s in concert. great shows.

I saw Styx and ZZ Topp when I was training at Ft. Jackson, 1976.

From what I remember, they put on a great show.

Over in Memphis TN, sometime in the mid 80's I remember being really upset that Steppenwolf had to cancel their concert because their lead singer had a cold. They were supposed to perform on my birthday.

However........................

Later on that summer, Steppenwolf decided to come back, but it was only for the troops (and civilians who had base privledges). And, in retrospect, that USO show was even better than the one on my birthday, because if I'd seen them then, it would have cost me around 40 bucks. At the base hangar of NATTC? 5 bucks.

And the concert ROCKED!

I sorta liked Styx but not REO as much.

Yes, the military is one of the few institutions wherein free speech CAN be limited; educational institutions are another.

Nugent is not in the military and his 1st Amendment free speech was not infringed. So wtf are you talking about?

RESPONDING to a post.

The so-called 'tolerant' are turning out to be not so much...

Well, i never bought into the notion Socialists/Progressives were tolerant. I knew that was B.S. all along. Socialists/Progressives do not stand up for Free Speech. In fact, no other Socialists/Communists on this earth do either. So why do so many think our Socialists here would be so different? They are what they are. It really is that simple.

The Major General made the decision; is he SOCIALIST/PROGRESSIVE?

His boss, obamaturd is.

It's stuff like this that reminds me at times that our national psyche is so easily bruised by utter bullshit.

It's like you say something wrong, then you have to go away for awhile before you can come back.

So retarded.

I understand that the First Amendment has consequences in the open market. When sponsors pulled away from Rush Limbaugh, it's because they want to be able to sell their stuff to anybody, not just some people, or preferred people, or whatever.

The Dixie Chicks should be able to say what they want to say, and if you like their music you should be able to differentiate between being fans of their music, but not so much their politics.

Same with Nugent. His politics are extreme while his music is straight-up, mainstream rock. So what, though? He's the one in the lineup who happened to say a stupid thing in an oversensitive country where both extremes cry over every little thing.

He should be able to just be in the lineup and if there are people in attendance who'd like to wave signs of disapproval, they should be able to do so, and other people who feel like they should leave while he plays as their form of protest, than that's what they should do.

Grow up, America.

Steppenwolf are still alive? That WAS a long time ago.

You are pathetic.

You have the liberty to be believe as you wish; I am no rightwing nut.

Look, I don't need nor do I care for any condescending bullshit permission from a weak, passive-aggressive, cowardly woman like yourself.

You refuse to explain your implication that another woman's kind of man is an alleged sexist.

YOU, and all weak an cowardly women are an embarrassment to my gender and your type does more damage to women than any Ted could ever do.

You should be proud of yourself, you pathetic coward.

Freedom of speech has consequences! Rush Limbaugh is learning that.

If freedom of speech has consequences then it is not free. The lefty nitwits are hypocrits.

I'm telling ya. One of my best friends thinks Obama is the anti-Christ. Soooo we don't talk politics.

Yeah, but the rules are a wee bit different when you're on a miltary base. A base commander is responsible for what happens on his base, and if he allowed Nugent to show up and say stupid shit against the President, he's held responsible for the disrespect if it's shown, as well as the one that is gonna take the ass chewing.

Hate to tell you, but free speech is pretty limited on a military installation.

Ted kicks ass and takes names!! Should be an awesome concert. Looking forward to hearing this one too...

Obama takes Ted's lyrics literally- he wants to actually eat a dog.

Nugent says he kills just for the fun of killing; EXCEPT when those he shoots at can shoot back OF COURSE.

Good for the post commander.

Nugent is free to bad mouth the CINC.

And the Army is free to rescind his invitation.

Actually no. Shit flows down from the top in the Military.

Maybe. But this is an easy decision for the CG.

He can't endorse someone who uses contemptuous language towards the CINC. It sends the wrong message to the troops.

And, if you are a MG, you don't need he president to tell you that.

Bullshit. For years, Nugent promotes using every part of his kills.

So, not only are you a coward, you are a liar.

I am not surprised.

Nugent Ousted From Fort Knox Concert Line-Up

Ted Nugent has been booted from the line-up at an annual Fort Knox summer concert following his recent comments about President Barack Obama, a Fort Knox representative confirmed to The Blaze.

The decision to oust Nugent came after “recent disparaging remarks made against the commander in chief,” Ryan Brus of the Fort Knox public affairs office said.

Because the concert is taking place on a military installation, it “would be a conflict of interest since the military has the obligation to be apolitical,” he said.

Brus said they don‘t look at political or social views when booking performers but that Nugent’s comments about the commander in chief crossed the line.

Brus said Major General Jefforey Smith, commanding general at Fort Knox, made the final decision to cancel Nugent’s appearance.

Apolitical my ass...

So sorry that the military isn't made up of a bunch of wingnut extremists like you, Tommy Boy.

 

[AmericanFirst]

I wonder if Hank Williams, Jr. will be there...?

I hope the Dixie Chicks are invited. They are great American patriots.

The dixie chicks are idiots. Then I can see where you would love them. Hank Jr and Ted have more class then them three bimbos put together.

Ah, remember the good ole days for the Left? Wishing death on George Bush and his family daily. Now look at em rushing to silence anyone who dares to speak ill of their Dear Leader. What a bunch of hypocritical wussies. Kudos to Ted Nugent! Right On!

The so-called 'tolerant' are turning out to be not so much...

They are in no way tolerant. The Collective demands obedience to it's will.

No need to be ridiculous.We don't tolerate fear, hate, propaganda nor ingorance. That's a good thing, don't you think so?
