Remember when classic rocker and NRA board member Ted Nugent said last year that it was time to tone down the “hateful rhetoric” in the wake of the Congressional baseball shooting that nearly left Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) dead? Well, I guess that’s all out the window now.
Appearing on Newsmax’s The Joe Pags Show, the guitarist/conservative commentator let host Joe Pagliarulo what he thought about the Parkland shooting survivors who have become outspoken gun reform activists. And, umm, yeah.
Describing them as “poor mushy brained children who have been fed lies” and that they’re “committing spiritual suicide” by recommending gun control, Nugent went so far as to label David Hogg and others as lacking a soul.
After Pagliarulo played some clips of Hogg and Emma Gonzalez speaking out against the NRA on CNN, Nugent railed against the media, liberals and the kids.
“The dumbing down of America is manifested in the culture deprivation of our academia that have taught these kids the lies, media that have prodded and encouraged and provided these kids lies,” the ‘Wang Dang Sweet Poontang’ singer exclaimed. “I really feel sorry for them because it’s not only ignorant and dangerously stupid, but it’s soulless.”
He continued, “To attack the good law-abiding families of America when well known predictable murderers commit these horrors is deep in the category of soulless. These poor children, I’m afraid to say this and it hurts me to say this, but the evidence is irrefutable, they have no soul.”
In terms of “hateful rhetoric” against the Parkland survivors, this may be the leader in the clubhouse.
