Ted Nugent Accuses Obama Of Waging “Liberal Jihad” Against America

Continuing his post-election meltdownWashington Times columnist Ted Nugent, who is also a National Rifle Association board member, claimed in a November 15 column that America may not be able to survive “four more years of Mr. Obama and his Big Wrecking Crew government liberal jihad.”

Nugent also amplified his attack on downtrodden areas of America, claiming that urban cities are “rusting wrecks full of unemployed scavengers.” He singled out East St. Louis, Illinois and Detroit, Michigan, which he described as “hell-scapes of dependent hopelessness.” In an October 30 interview with the Times, Nugent called the majority of Detroit residents “pimps, whores and welfare brats that have made bloodsucking a lifestyle.”

Nugent continued to deride Americans who voted for President Obama in his November 15 column, describing them as only interested in “more free candy from Uncle Sugar Daddy.” Following the re-election of Obama, Nugent sent out a series of tweets on November 7 calling Obama voters “subhuman varmint[s]” and “Pimps whores & welfare brats.” In a Times column on November 8, he unleashed more invective, describing Obama voters as “thunderously dumb and incredibly naïve.”

In the lead up to Election Day, Nugent repeatedly made inflammatory remarks about Obama. While promoting his Discovery Channel special about gun culture, Nugent called Obama “anti-American” and accused him of only feigning respect for veterans. While promoting his special on Twitter, Nugent referred to the Obama administration as “enemies of America” and leveled accusations of treason and “criminal complicity to murder.”

Nugent, who drew the scrutiny of the Secret Service in April after promising to be “dead or in jail” if Obama was re-elected, also made waves in July when he wrote in a Times column, “I'm beginning to wonder if it would have been best had the South won the Civil War.”
