The National Rifle Association has pulled the video of Ted Nugent's incendiary comments from the organization's official YouTube account and from the NRANews.com website.

In recent days Nugent, an NRA board member, has come under intense criticism for comments at this year's NRA convention.

Nugent described the Obama administration as a “vile, evil America-hating administration” that is “wiping its ass with the Constitution” while telling the crowd that "[w]e need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November." Nugent also claimed that “If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.”

The Secret Service reportedly has a meeting planned with Nugent to discuss his comments.

In a radio interview Nugent said that he would stand by his comments.

But the NRA is currently dealing with problems of its own:

There are signs, though, that the NRA is growing out of touch with modern Americans and even with its own members--who, according to surveys, now tend to support restrictions such as mandatory background checks on buyers of weapons at gun shows. The future does not look bright, either. Despite attempts to attract women, most convention-goers in St Louis were white men over the age of 40--a segment of the population on the decline. The classified sections in NRA magazines such as American Rifleman feature, besides all the weaponry, advertisements for gardening equipment and Viagra.

This may not be the best time to stand behind Nugent.
