After last week apologizing for comments calling the president a “subhuman
mongrel,” Ted Nugent on Monday attacked the administration for what he called
similarities to Nazi Germany.
The rocker and gun rights activist defended some of his past remarks on
Monday on Dennis Miller’s radio show, days after apologizing for using the term
“mongrel” to refer to President Barack Obama, which caused a storm of
controversy when he hit the campaign trail for Texas Republican governor hopeful
Greg Abbott.Miller pressed Nugent on using the term “jackbooted thug.”
“The guy, he’s just a horribly inept civil servant,” Miller said, according
to audio posted by left-leaning watchdog Media Matters. “He’s just the guy in
the toll booth who keeps giving back too much change to people and I’ll be glad
when he’s out of there, but he’s not a Nazi.”
“Well I don’t think he’s Adolf Hitler,” Nugent said, but he told Miller he
disagreed that the “jackbooted thug” comment was inappropriate.
“There was an incrementalism to what happened in Germany and other places
historically, where they came in slowly,” Nugent said. “And I think that’s what
Obamacare is, that’s what I think most of what he represents. The IRS — I really
believe that what we see with the IRS can be compared accurately and
historically to the early maneuvers of people like jackbooted thugs, like the
Brownshirts [Nazi Storm Troopers]. I really believe that and I think that you
are being too soft on them.”
Miller again told Nugent he disagreed with the comparison, but Nugent pressed
that the President Barack Obama wants to “destroy” the country.
“I think he really wants to destroy America. I think he wants to follow the
Saul Alinsky ‘Rules for Radicals’ book, destroy our economy, have a … war
between the haves and the have-nots.”
In his apology on Friday, Nugent said he was trying to learn from “better
men” with whom he had appeared on the campaign trail and said he would try to
use “more understandable language” rather than “street-fighter” terms in the
future.
