Ted Nugent Comes to O.C. After Being Booted From Show in Kentucky

"Cat Scratch Fever" rocker schedules a surprise show at the Coach House after political comments get him kicked out of another concert.

The Nuge will be rocking the in San Juan Capistrano on Thursday night.

High-octane 70s rocker Ted Nugent is perhaps best known for “Cat Scratch Fever.” But he's built a devoted audience through his National Rifle Association-friendly political books and his website tednugent.com, which promises Full Bluntal Nugity.

Inflammatory remarks he made earlier this month—that he’d be “dead or in jail by this time next year” if President Barack Obama wins re-election—apparently caught the attention of the Secret Service.

Nugent made the comments during an interview at the NRA convention in St. Louis, comparing Obama and his administration to "coyotes" that needed to be shot and encouraging voters to "chop [Democrats'] heads off in November,” according to the Huffington Post.

That was enough for promoters of a military concert in Fort Knox, Ky. to kick him out of the line-up. The show will go on with REO Speedwagon and Styx.

And Nuge has made plans for Thursday night right in our own back yard. The concert is sold out, according to the venue's website. But tickets may still be available at the box office, the site says.

Now just why would I want to see a person who has so little respect for this country and our democratic instituions that he encourages somone to shoot the President of the United States. There have been more than a few politicians that I have not agreed with, but only in totalitairan countries do they have regime changes via coups and assasinations. No matter what I thought of them, violence only begets violence. I urge people to boycott Ted Nugent and everything he stands for.

Nicely put, Art B. I was gonna say "imagine a gun nut threatening Mr. Obama..." but I like the way you phrased it better. :)

Greg Raths announced for Congress

"As a Republican, he will go head to head with our current incumbant [sic]" Wait, areRead More there no other contenders? John Webb on the Republican side might run, and then there was that Irvine mayor Sukhee Kang fella, who finished second. The more the merrier. The more diversity in the views, even better. I would like to hear from contenders how they would vote differently on some of the votes the incumbents have cast. Because all too often we have "an independent minded Republican" or a "progressive reformer" or "Heck, I am BATMAN himself" only to have disappointing regurgitation of ideology of what should not be done ("low taxes", "freedom", "family values", "apple pie, motherhood"). Not what will be done. And until we have that, corporate monies shall determine our representative. I mean I can imagine Mr. Raths voting for the 45th time to repeal Obamacare, but seriously, which vote that John Campbell cast would be different if Mr. Raths were in office? If 90% of the positions are the same, it looks like a remarkable coincidence that an independent thinker is so like the incumbent, does it not? Mr. Raths did offer an 'independent' idea endorsing civil unions but not gay marriage. Cool. Is he going to sponsor a bill for civil unions? Or simply insist on enforcing DOMA because "sanctity of marriage", "religious liberty". How about H.R. 1797? How about the Gang of 8 bill on immigration if it passes the Senate and comes to the House? Will his vote be different than that of Mr. Campbell's? That is the key question. But again, I welcome Mr. Raths entry in the field, we need more variety, and if we cannot get that, we at least need more people willing to run. Good luck to you, sir.

Tom Thumb you didn't read section 1021(b)(2) closely enough. It wouldn't apply to those arming theRead More rebels because of the word "suspicion." We know they are arming the rebels. See the difference. 1021(b)(2) only applies to those we "suspect" like you. Notice how the word "reasonable" doesn't appear anywhere near "suspicion"? Hmmmm wonder why that would be. Section 1021(b)(2) seems to be the modern day "suspicion of lurking with intent."

Shoot, I don't know about that. What we are hearing now is Obama/McCain are pushing to arm theRead More rebels who are supporting and are part of Al Qaeda: www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-22095099
