Texas Congressman invites Ted Nugent — the guy who said “if Barack Obama becomes the president in November, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year” — to the State of the Union.

Congressman Steve Stockman (R-TX) has announcedthat he would be bringing musician and conservative loudmouth Ted Nugent to President Obama’s State of the Union address on Tuesday.

“I am excited to have a patriot like Ted Nugent joining me in the House Chamber to hear from President Obama,” Stockman said on his congressional website on Monday.

(Think Progress) - Traditionally, State of the Union attendees are given the opportunity to invite distinguished guests or prominent constituents to sit in during the President’s remarks. And while past honorees include war heroes and selfless public servants, Stockman has instead invited someone who has threatened the President and Democratic officials:

Nugent called President Obama a criminal and denounced his “vile, evil America-hating administration” which is “wiping its ass with the Constitution.”Taking it a step further, he said that “If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.”

Following his remarks last April at a National Rifle Association annual convention, the Secret Service brought in Nugent for questioning.

Ted Nugent responded to the swift condemnation of his invitation to the State of the Union address via Twitter on Monday afternoon:

Why would Nugent even want to go?

Why did this guy invite him?

Sounds to me like they are doing this simply as a slap in the face to the president.

Fort Knox cancels Ted Nugent concert due to comments on President Obama

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) — Fort Knox has cancelled a performance by rocker Ted Nugent because of recent remarks he made about President Obama.

Nugent was to meet with the Secret Service on Thursday to explain those comments, which some people have interpreted as a threat.

At last weekend’s National Rifle Association convention, Nugent said if the president were re-elected, “I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.”

Nugent - To purposefully defecate in one’s pants.

30 days before his Draft Board Physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last 10 days he ingested nothing but junk food and Pepsi, and a week before his physical, he stopped using the bathroom altogether, virtually living inside his pants caked with excrement and urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment.

If Romney wants to pretend that Bill Maher and Hilary Rosen count as an extension of the Obama campaign, then Ted Nugent certainly appears to be fair game as a key Romney ally.

By Steve Benen
 

At a certain level, I really don’t care what nonsense Ted Nugent is spewing on a typical day. He’s known for being an extremist; he hasn’t had a hit since the Carter administration; and he’s generally better left ignored.

But there is a political context to his latest unhinged harangue.

Appearing at the NRA’s national convention, Nugent was trying to rally support for Mitt Romney by calling President Obama a criminal who leads a “vile, evil America-hating administration” which is “wiping its ass with the Constitution.” The musician/reality-show personality added, in reference to the 2012 elections, “If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will be either be dead or in jail by this time next year…. We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November. Any questions?”

He went on to say, “It isn’t the enemy that ruined America. It’s good people who bent over and let the enemy in. If the coyote’s in your living room pissing on your couch, it’s not the coyote’s fault. It’s your fault for not shooting him.”

So, why should anyone care about Nugent’s latest ridiculous tirade? Well, for one thing, a spokesman for the Secret Service confirmed to Dan Amira, “We are aware of it, and we’ll conduct an appropriate follow up.”

For another, if the Romney campaign wants to pretend that Bill Maher and Hilary Rosen count as an extension of the Obama campaign, then Nugent certainly appears to be fair game as a key Romney ally. After all, Romney actively sought, and eventually earned, Nugent’s personal endorsement after a private discussion between the two just last month.

If the president, vice president, and everyone they know are asked to comment on Rosen’s comment last week, it’s hardly unreasonable to think Romney may want to respond to Nugent’s threatening language this week. The ties between the president and Rosen are tenuous at best, but Romney reached out directly to Nugent, hoping to pick up his support.

Romney passed on criticizing Rush Limbaugh after his misogynistic tirade a month ago. It’ll be interesting to see how, and whether, he addresses Nugent’s rhetoric now.

Secret Service Investigating Ted Nugent For Remarks About Obama

cognitivedissonance:

Background from Right Wing Watch:

Nugent called President Obama a criminal and denounced his “vile, evil America-hating administration” which is “wiping its ass with the Constitution.” Taking it a step further, he said that “If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.” …Nugent concluded with a call to cut off the heads of Democrats in November: “We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November. Any questions?”

According to ThinkProgress, “The Secret Service, which investigates all threats against the President, confirmed to New York Magazine’s Daily Intel blog that they have in fact flagged Nugent’s comment” and will be conducting a follow up. 

Thank goodness polite society has condemned Hillary Rosen for her remarks about Ann Romney. That’s so much more outrageous than Romney-endorser Nugent.

In the same rant, Nugent urged NRA conference attendees to find “a couple of thousand” people each to vote for Mitt Romney and said those who don’t are worthless. 

But again, Hillary Rosen is just so goddamned awful. Right? </sarcasm>

BREAKING: The Secret Service Is Investigating Ted Nugent's Head Chopping Remarks!!!

Ted Nugent’s threatening remarks about President Obama at the annual National Rifle Association convention in St. Louis have earned him a follow-up conversation with the Secret Service. On Sunday, the singer remarked that “if Barack Obama becomes the president in November again, I will be either be dead or in jail by this time next year.” The Secret Service, which investigates all threats against the President, confirmed to New York Magazine’s Daily Intel blog that they have in fact flagged Nugent’s comment. “We are aware of it, and we’ll conduct an appropriate follow up,” the agent told the magazine. Nugent endorsed Mitt Romney — albeit reluctantly — via Twitter last month, and at least one Romney, middle son Tagg, was excited about the news.
