Tell Mitt Romney to Disavow Ted Nugent's Support
American Bridge 21st Century
Ted Nugent's opinions on women are despicable--disavow his support now.
Why is this important?
On Friday, March 2nd, controversial musician Ted Nugent, a proud misogynist with a history of inflammatory comments about women, announced his support for Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney via Twitter:
@TedNugent: "after a long heart&soul conversation with MittRomney today I concluded this good man will properly represent we the people & I endorsed him".
Here are just a few of Nugent's disgusting utterances about women:
(On Hillary Clinton) "You probably can't use the term 'toxic c--' in your magazine, but that's what she is. Her very existence insults the spirit of individualism in this country. This bitch is nothing but a two-bit whore for Fidel Castro."
"And if you're a woman who feels that his lyrics to ditties such as the immortal 'Wang Dang Sweet Poontang' are sexist, Nugent says, 'Fuck you and go to a Garth Brooks show. Kiss my dog's dead, diseased, rotting ass. If you don't have a sense of humor, you're not allowed in Ted's world. I don't objectify women. I'd like to think that I'm optimizing their hardware.'"
Feminists "are just women who aren't getting it often enough." [St. Petersburg Times, 3/12/99]
"...I met a couple of guys in line yesterday and they say write something to my girlfriend, she won't let me go hunting. I wrote her something, I wrote Drop dead bitch. What good is she, trade her in, get a Dalmatian, who needs her, the wench."
The Romney campaign seems to have actively sought Nugent's endorsement and are boasting about it. Romney's son Tagg -- who regularly represents his father's campaign as a surrogate -- tweeted:
@tromney: "Ted Nugent endorsed my Dad today. Ted Nugent? How cool is that?! He joins Kid Rock as great Detroit musicians on team Mitt!"
This is simply unacceptable. Speak out on behalf of women everywhere and tell Mitt Romney to disavow Nugent's support.
