Ted Nugent in 2005

Ted Nugent's a Michigan native, but he's less than thrilled with the commercials that try to entice tourists to visit his home state.

On the Michigan’s Big Show radio program Thursday morning, the "Cat Scratch Fever" rocker said that the series of tourism commercials known as "Pure Michigan" should show the dead animals and fish that result from hunting and fishing in the Great Lakes State.

“How dare the Pure Michigan campaign not mention (hunting, fishing and trapping) because some hash bash hippie in charge of Michigan’s promotional campaigns is afraid to put a dead salmon or a dead grouse or a dead deer on the tourist brochure, but will put para-gliding and tulip festivals on that brochure when no one is going to come to Michigan to go hang gliding or to go to the tulip festival," Nugent said, according to the Detroit Free Press.

“The Pure Michigan campaign basically is a facade,” Nugent said. He went on to criticize the state's gun laws and said, "the overall direction of Michigan is very sad."

The Free Press spoke to a spokeswoman for the Michigan Economic Development Corp, which defended the campaign, saying the state certainly promotes its hunting and fishing opportunities. Fishermen are shown in Pure Michigan ads, which are narrated by actor Tim Allen, who was born in Denver but raised in Michigan.

Just over a year ago, on April 17, 2012, Nugent said that if President Barack Obama was re-elected, "I will be either be dead or in jail by this time next year."

Nugent is currently touring with Styx and REO Speedwagon.

Ted Nugent said on Twitter: "I cry tears of blood for The Last Best Place & the warriors who died for this tragedy."

The election of President Barack Obama to a second term Tuesday night had many cheering in the streets, and the Twitterverse alight with commentary (and his most-ever-retweeted photo, once he posted a picture of himself hugging wife Michelle). But not everybody was so happy.

In fact, some were downright furious.

Donald Trump may have been the most outraged, releasing a stream of Tweets that ran the gamut from calling for a revolution ("He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!" which was later deleted) to declaring, "We are not a democracy!"

That kind of commentary led NBC's Brian Williams to call Trump out, noting the businessman has now "driven well past the last exit to relevance and veered into something closer to irresponsible." Trump was back at it on Wednesday, firing off a series of tweets aimed at the "Nightly News" anchor. 

Former "Saturday Night Live" cast member Victoria Jackson also sent through a list of tweets, noting "I can't stop crying" multiple times and that "America died" last night. "Thanks a lot Christians, for not showing up. You disgust me," she tweeted. 

Twitter

Meanwhile, Ted Nugent kept things blunt, tweeting: "Pimps whores & welfare brats & their soulless supporters hav a president to destroy America." (Typos left as tweeted.) Later, he added, "Goodluk America u just voted for economic & spiritual suicide. Soulless fools"

Twitter

Stephen Baldwin felt similarly, tweeting: "2nite Gods Spirit lifted within me&joy came over me, I will serve the Lord, my hope is in Jesus not Obama, Gods wrath is upon US. 2Thes2:11" (Typos left as tweeted.)

Twitter

"The Middle's" Patricia Heaton, however, was disappointed but kept her comments relatively mild. "Bracing for 4 more yrs of high taxes, high unemployment, high debt," she tweeted, adding later, "At least the president can't blame the mess he's 'inheriting' on anyone else but himself!"

Twitter

Still, for anyone who did find last night's results heartening, here's a quick look through some of the top Tweets about not just the election, but ballot issues that dealt with gay marriage and marijuana, among others.

Ted Nugent

Rocker Ted Nugent offered his opinion on the July 20 shooting at a showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Colorado, discouraging stricter gun laws and suggesting armed moviegoers might have quelled the massacre.

“We pray for all victims&loved ones of demonshooter in CO& we SALUTE the brave warriors who saved lives IF only they would hav had a good gun,” Nugent posted on his Twitter page Wednesday.

He later tweeted, “there were no assault weapons used in the CO shooting only universally proven sporting & self defense firearms & 6k rounds aint squat. lies,” and “how much dope must one injest for how long to believe unarmed & helpless is a desirable condition? soulless is as soulless does to bait evil.”

Nugent’s statements coincided with his interview on conservative commentator Glenn Beck’s radio show, where he elaborated on his stance and criticized Fox TV host Bill O’Reilly for suggesting the government should raise standards for purchasing heavy weapons.

“It epitomizes the ignorance out there when Bill O’Reilly states, as a fact, that anybody can go buy a bazooka and a machine gun without the government knowing it unless, of course, you’re in the Crips and the Bloods,” Nugent said on the “Glenn Beck Program” Wednesday. “To buy a machine gun, you have to go through such a vetting, such a federal BATF and local law enforcement, national law enforcement review, background check, fill out all kinds of documents and buy a $200 transfer tax certificate per purchase if they allow it.”

James Holmes, accused shooter in the Colorado massacre, is said to have been carrying an AR-15 semi-automatic assault weapon with a 100 drum magazine when he opened fire on moviegoers killing 12 people and wounding at least 58 others. Four rifles were found in his possession, including a Smith & Wesson AR-15 type rifle, and all were purchased legally. In the past 60 days, police said Holmes bought more than 6,000 rounds of ammunition at gun shops and over the Internet.

Comedian Dane Cook jokes about 'Dark Knight' shootings

“I know for a fact that most of the damage done by this devil in Aurora was done with the number one pheasant shotgun in the world, a Remington 870,” Nugent said to Beck. “His AR-15 Smith & Wesson rifle is now the most popular sporting rifle in America. It is the number one competition, number one in self‑defense, it’s the number one sporting rifle for big game and small game. And if they keep calling it an assault weapon, I may have that aneurysm.”

Beck commented, “You know, here’s the thing.  If – and nobody I hear is talking about this except people like us – If you had more people carrying a weapon, if people had a gun in their back…and they were licensed to carry it – that guy wouldn’t have gotten off more than four shots.”

Not everyone agrees with Nugent and Beck, of course. In response to Nugent’s tweets, followers sent a series of replies, some more incendiary than others.

Wrote Brett Anderson, “@TedNugent More bullets flying in a dark, tear-gassed movie theater would have made everything better!! #Idiot”

Jason Jordan tweeted, “@TedNugent Doesn't shooting someone count as assault? So he assaulted and killed people with an automatic non-assault rifle?”

And Bob Asbilleprovided an alternative, “@TedNugent I say outlaw ALL guns & only let people have bows and knives. could still hunt no prob. But no more mass murders of innocent ppl”

Bangor Police Department

Mick Brown's mug shot.

People are always fleeing police, but usually it's in a vehicle where they have a chance to get away. That wasn't the case for Mick Brown, drummer for Ted Nugent, who tried to make his escape in a golf cart, according to the Bangor, Maine police department.

According to the police department, Brown, 55, reportedly stole a golf cart after a Bangor concert featuring Nugent, Styx and REO Speedwagon at Bangor's waterfront pavilion.

Brown, who was reportedly intoxicated, evaded several people who tried to stop him and somehow picked up two women along the way, the department says on its Facebook page.

"As (officers) attempted to stop Brown, he accelerated past them, past a third officer and when a security officer got close enough to stop him, Brown allegedly shoved the officer," the police reported. "At that point two other security officers physically removed Brown from the cart and placed him on the ground."

Brown was arrested and later released on $4,000 bail, and faces a court date of Aug. 15 for charges of operating under the influence of alcohol, driving to endanger, theft, and assault.

But perhaps the best line from the police report reads, "No damage was reported to the cart although two traffic cones were damaged, one still under the cart, significantly so."

Ted Nugent himself has been in the news lately for his political opinions, most recently for suggesting that the South should have won the Civil War.

Ted Nugent

Worried about the legacy of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, Ted Nugent is now pondering whether the world would have been better off had the Confederate States, which fought to sever the union, been victorious in the Civil War.

The Detroit-born rocker and outspoken conservative activist writes in a new op-ed for The Washington Times of his fundamental fear of what he calls "Fedzilla," or a government with a social safety net. Triggered by Chief Justice John Roberts voting to uphold President Obama's Affordable Care Act -- but calling the mandate to buy insurance a tax instead of a penalty -- Nugent says, "Because our legislative, judicial and executive branches of government hold the 10th Amendment in contempt, I’m beginning to wonder if it would have been best had the South won the Civil War. Our Founding Fathers’ concept of limited government is dead."

A longtime critic of the president -- he received a visit from the Secret Service after making allusions to beheading Obama and members of his administration while at an NRA convention in April -- Nugent blasts Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid as parts of what he calls a full-on socialist state.

"Our entitlement programs have bankrupted America," Nugent writes. "We have dug a financial crater so deep that many doubt we can ever climb out. With his vote, Chief Justice Roberts didn’t give Fedzilla an even bigger shovel, he gave Fedzilla an earth mover with which to dig bigger financial holes."

He then adds, "The president should have Chief Justice Roberts over for dinner, give him a ride on Air Force One and apologize for not voting for him during his confirmation hearings. It’s the least the community-organizer-in-chief can do for the turncoat chief justice who saved the president’s socialist health care program."

Nugent endorsed Rick Perry for the GOP nomination for president this winter, before later throwing his support to Mitt Romney.

Ted Nugent.

There was no moderation in Ted Nugent’s first interview since his Secret Service investigation, as the rocker, in seconds, switched from unruffled discourse to expletive-ridden rage when asked about his recent political rhetoric.

In a sit-down interview with the "CBS Morning Show" on Friday, set at the musician’s ranch in Texas, Nugent met with journalist Jeff Glor in, what began as, a calm back-and-forth discussion about allegations he had threatened President Obama, and the Secret Service inquiry that ensued.

“I feel sorry for liberals who can be that brain-dead to take a clear statement of fear on my part and turn it into a threat on somebody else,” Nugent told Glor. “I don’t think their [Secret Service] concern was that I threatened someone, I think their concern is that someone claimed I threatened someone. In fact, I got to tell you, and I don’t mean to put any professionals on the spot, but -- and I don’t have the greatest hearing in the world -- but I thought I heard something to the point of, ‘I didn’t think so.’”

Nugent described his “35-40 minute” meeting with the government officials in Oklahoma as “adorable,” and said he told the officials they were “responding to complete idiots,” and that “you should be investigating them.”

Moments later, Glor talked briefly with Nugent about his spread in the April headlines, referring to it as “one of the more interesting months you’ve ever had,” though Nugent felt otherwise. The reporter further probed the Republican activist about his support of the Romney campaign, whether or not they disproved of his outspoken candor when it came to the commander in chief, and how they will meet their requisites to obtain the moderate vote.

Here’s where Nugent lost it.

“You are many things, you are not moderate,” Glor pointed out.

After a defensive aside related to his charity work, Nugent’s temper rose and he began to yell at the reporter. “I’m an extremely loving, passionate man, and people who investigate me honestly, without the baggage of political correctness, ascertain the conclusion that I’m a damn nice guy. And if you can find a screening process more powerful than that I’ll [BLEEP], [BLEEP], [BLEEP], [BLEEP].”

A momentary pause ensued before Nugent directed his focus off-screen, “Or [BLEEP][BLEEP][BLEEP] -- How’s that sound?”

Noted Glor, this last statement was aimed at a female CBS news producer off camera. TMZ does the heavy lifting on sorting out what was apparently behind the bleeps.

And so, it seems, Nugent’s controversial media blitz spills into May. The rock star’s first return to the limelight came on April 17, when he said at a NRA convention he’d be “dead or in jail” if Obama was reelected, later referring to himself as a ‘black Jew at a Nazi-Klan rally.” On April 21, the military canceled his performance at its post in Fort Knox, Ky., citing his anti-Obama comments as justification, and the following week he reportedly signed a plea deal after federal prosecutors brought him to court for illegally shooting a bear on his hunting show.

Ted Nugent’s run in the headlines continues as he’s now facing the repercussions of illegally killing a black bear in the Alaskan tundra while filming his television series, “Spirit of the Wild.”

In a report in the Anchorage Daily News, the musician and reality star signed a plea agreement with federal prosecutors on April 14 and admitted to illegally shooting and transporting a black bear in Sukkwan Island, Alaska, two years ago. The kill surpassed federal hunting limits after Nugent injured another bear with an arrow four days prior. Both attacks were caught on camera by the rocker, and used as material in his TV show.

According to the agreement, by striking the first bear and killing the second, Nugent “exceeded his bag limit for Game Management Unit 2,” and further committed a misdemeanor by taking the dead bear off federal property in his boat, dubbed the “El Dorado.”

The agreement will be entered in court this week. In addition to a $10,000 fine, the 62-year-old Republican activist must create a 30-to-60 second public service announcement about responsible hunting to run on his show every other week, and is banned from hunting or fishing anywhere in Alaska and on any U.S. Forest Service land nationwide for one year. He will be placed on two years' probation.

His lawyer and NRA board member Wayne Anthony Ross offered a few retaliatory statements on the matter.

"They've got apparently some crazy law in Southeast that says if you even touch an animal with an arrow, it becomes your animal," Ross told the Anchorage Daily News about Nugent’s confusion shooting the first bear. "He looked to see if he had hit it and didn't believe that he'd hit it fatally."

He added, “There wasn't any blood trail that they could find. There was a little blood apparently at the spot, but nothing that indicated the bear was hard hit."

Nugent has yet to comment, though he continues his anti-authoritative rants via Twitter.

“The evil corrupt gvt thugs make me stronger evryday. ThankU goofballs,” he wrote on April 21, adding the following day, ”The whole world sux but America sux less but we're catchin up with the commies.”

In August 2010, Nugent had his deer hunting license revoked in California after he pled no contest to misdemeanor charges of deer-baiting and not having a properly signed tag.

This latest hunting gaffe is more bad news for the TV personality, who’s been battling national fallout since he remarked at an NRA convention that he would be “dead or in jail” if Obama was re-elected in November. After meeting with Secret Service agents on April 19 to clarify that his statements were not potential threats, the musician has since been uninvited to perform at an upcoming military concert in Fort Knox.

Of course, the bear and deer are but slight glitches in Nugent’s long-reigning career in the hunting industry. According to his webpage, he’s been accumulating game in Michigan since 1970 on his hunting ground, Sunrize Acres, and currently sells packages for fellow huntsmen to join the “adventure.” His show, “Spirit of the Wild,” airs on the Outdoor Channel, and documents what the star calls, a “spiritual and intellectual level” of hunting.

After winning an award for the program, Nugent commented on his website, “The ongoing war against the outdoors community continues and winning this amazing honor (Fan Favorite Hunting Series) just gets me fired up more to continue to stand strong against the forces that would deny our God given rights as Americans."

Citing inflammatory language while expressing his displeasure with President Barack Obama, the military has uninvited rock star and conservative political activist Ted Nugent from performing at Fort Knox in Kentucky, according to the U.S. Army post’s Facebook page.

“After learning of opening act Ted Nugent’s recent public comments about the president of the United States, Fort Knox leadership decided to cancel his performance on the installation," it's Facebook posting says.

So far, the June 23 concert remains on the Fort Knox schedule, with REO Speedwagon and Styx listed as “co-headliners,” but army personnel said they will grant requests for refunds in light of their decision to nix the opening act.

The cancellation is the latest wrinkle in a controversy that has engulfed Nugent since last weekend when, speaking at an NRA convention, the rocker said that he would be “dead or in jail” if Obama is reelected in November.

Also referring to Obama and Democratic candidates in general, he told the NRA faithful: “We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November.”

Use of the violent metaphors earned Nugent a visit from Secret Service agents on Thursday. He said Friday on his website that he had with them a “good, solid professional meeting concluding that I have never made any threats of violence toward anyone.”

A spokesman for Fort Knox told TheBlaze.com that having Nugent perform “would be a conflict of interest since the military has the obligation to be apolitical.”

Such a claim, though, seems dubious when it comes to choosing entertainers, who oftentimes show their partisanship. At its website, for example, Fort Knox is touting an appearance this month by comedian Jay Phillips who is supportive of Obama through his Twitter activities. And Ludacris has performed at U.S. Army bases even after the 2008 release of his pro-Obama song “Politics As Usual,” which calls Hillary Clinton, who was running against Obama at the time, a “bitch” who is “irrelevant.” The ultra-partisan song also called President George W. Bush “mentally handicapped” and says that Sen. John McCain "don't belong in any chair unless he’s paralyzed.”

Nugent: Secret Service meeting 'couldn't have gone better'

Fort Knox personnel did not return calls or emails requesting clarification on their “obligation to be apolitical” in their entertainment selections.

Comments at the Fort Knox Facebook page have been running about 3-1 against the decision to boot Nugent from the concert.  

“He is such a supporter of the troops. Such a shame that he was canceled for expressing his freedom of speech. This is America, if you have not forgot,” one commenter wrote.

“I thought that freedom of speech was one of the very same things that our military fought for. When Obama said he was going to change the military, he did. He made them cowards. Shame on you Fort Knox,” said another.

And on the flip side: “Anyone who threatens a U.S. president like that should not be allowed on a military installation. No matter which party he affiliates himself with. Good decision.”

Ted Nugent

Updated 4 p.m. PT: Musician and gun-rights advocate Ted Nugent said on Thursday he had a positive meeting with U.S. Secret Service agents investigating his recent criticism of President Barack Obama, and the agency confirmed the issue had been resolved.

Nugent, who told NRA supporters in St. Louis last week that he would be "dead or in jail" next year if Obama was reelected, said in a statement that he had "met with two fine, professional Secret Service agents" in Oklahoma.

"Good, solid, professional meeting concluding that I have never made any threats of violence towards anyone. The meeting could not have gone better," the 63-year-old singer and guitarist said. He was due to perform a concert in Ardmore, Oklahoma on Thursday.

The Secret Service, which is tasked with protecting the U.S. president, senior officials and other figures, confirmed the meeting with Nugent.

"The Secret Service interview of Ted Nugent has been completed," agency spokesman Brian Leary said. "The issue has been resolved. The Secret Service does not anticipate any further action."

Earlier Leary said the agency respected freedom of speech, but also had a responsibility to "investigate intent."

Nugent, a Michigan-born conservative who has endorsed Obama's presumed Republican challenger in the November elections, Mitt Romney, drew Secret Service attention with his blunt remarks about Obama and administration officials at the NRA event.

"We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November," Nugent said at the convention.

U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Convention, responded earlier this week, saying "threatening violence - or whatever it is that Nugent's threatening - is clearly beyond the pale."

A Romney spokeswoman said the Republican candidate believed "everyone needs to be civil," but stopped short of condemning Nugent's original remarks.

Nugent is best known for hit 1970s songs such as "Cat Scratch Fever" and "Motor City Madhouse."

Ted Nugent in 2010.

Ted Nugent, who the Secret Service is currently looking into as part of a follow-up for previous statements on President Obama, refused to back down from those statements Tuesday afternoon. 

During an interview with conservative radio show host Dana Loesch, Nugent says that he is "a black Jew at a Nazi-Klan rally." 

"There are some power abusing corrupt monsters in our government that despise me because I have the audacity to speak the truth," he added.

He spoke what he thought was the truth at last weekend's National Rifle Association convention in St. Louis, when he said 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 told Business Insider this afternoon that it would look into Nugent's statements. 

"We are aware of it, and we are conducting an appropriate follow-up," Secret Service spokesman told  Business Insider.  He did not say if the agency was treating the statement as a threat against the President. 

Nugent didn't seem fazed by that Tuesday afternoon.

"Well, first of all, let me just say that the Secret Service are my buddies," Nugent said. "They work for me. I pay their salaries."

Let's just keep throwing out the crazy, verbatim:

"Saul Alinsky. This is the Saul Alinsky 'Rules for Radicals' playbook," he said, referring to the community organizer Alinsky's book. "The Nazis and the Klan hate me."

Then he added that he stood by his comments, which he asserted were "100 percent positive."

Nugent also went off on Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the DNC chair who called on the Mitt Romneycampaign to denounce Nugent's statements. In March, Nugent endorsed Romney. 

"Wasserman Schultz is such a brain-dead, soulless, heartless idiot that I could not be more proud that this soulless, heartless, idiot feebly attempts to find fault with Ted Nugent," Ted Nugent said, referring to himself in the third person. 

The Romney campaign did respond, however, denouncing Nugent's statements. 

“Divisive language is offensive no matter what side of the political aisle it comes from,” Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said, according to Talking Points Memo. “Mitt Romney believes everyone needs to be civil.”

Finally, there is this, from who else? "I'm like Mother Teresa compared to Obama's gang."

You guessed it. It was Ted Nugent.

Updated 1:50 p.m. PT: Reuters reports that Mitt Romney's campaign was calling for civility on Tuesday after Ted Nugent's comments before an audience of U.S. gun lobbyists. The Democratic National Committee seized on Nugent's remarks on Monday night in a fundraising email, pointing out how Nugent has endorsed Romney for president.

"Threatening violence -- or whatever it is that Nugent's threatening -- is clearly beyond the pale, but Nugent's not the one running for president," said U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the DNC. "The question is: Does Romney agree with him? Right now, we don't know."

Andrea Saul, Romney's spokeswoman, did not condemn Nugent in an email on Tuesday but said Romney wants to promote civility.

"Divisive language is offensive no matter what side of the political aisle it comes from. Mitt Romney believes everyone needs to be civil," she said.

Reuters says the DNC noted that Romney had not responded to Nugent's remarks despite the endorsement he received from him last month. It also circulated video of Romney saying on a radio show, "It's been fun getting to know Ted Nugent."

Original story: Rocker and noted gun enthusiast Ted Nugent is stirring up attention over comments he made about President Obama and his administration at a National Rifle Association conference in St. Louis over the weekend.

As the website Right Wing Watch reports, Nugent called Obama a criminal and denounced his "vile, evil, America-hating administration" which is "wiping its ass with the Constitution."

He went on to say, "If Barack Obama becomes the President in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year." Nugent, who has already endorsed Mitt Romney for president, urged each person to get a "couple of thousand" people to cast their ballot for the presumptive Republican challenger.

"If you can’t galvanize and promote and recruit people to vote for Mitt Romney, we're done," Nugent said. "We'll be a suburb of Indonesia next year. Our president, attorney general, our vice president, Hillary Clinton -- they're criminals, they're criminals."

New York magazine's Daily Intel blog reports that a Secret Service spokesman told them, "We are aware of it and we'll conduct an appropriate follow up" regarding Nugent's comments.

Nugent also ripped into four of the Supreme Court justices for what he says is their stance against Americans' "right to keep and bear arms." He 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?" Check out the video:

Nugent, 62, is a longtime hunting and gun rights advocate, a reality TV star and an outspoken conservative who hasn't been shy about his dislike for the president. Once known as the Motor City Madman, his 1980 song "Wango Tango" is seventh on Guitar World's list of 100 Worst Guitar Solos. And, in the interest of rock objectivity, his song "Stranglehold" is notched at No. 31 on the mag's list of 100 Greatest Guitar Solos.
