Last night, the Discovery Channel aired “an inside look at American gun culture” featuring Washington Times columnist and National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent. Media Matters previously noted that Nugent often uses inflammatory language against the Obama administration, women, religious and ethnic minorities and members of the LGBT community.
On the day that Ted Nugent's Gun Country aired, Nugent accused the “lying enemies of America” Obama administration of treason and “criminal complicity to murder.” In promotional radio appearances for his special, Nugent accused “anti-American” Barack Obama of only feigning respect for veterans and declared his intention to use the Discovery Channel as a resource to help him win the “culture war.”
