Quote of the day
posted at 10:20 pm on October 21, 2008 by Allahpundit
“If it wasn’t for Sarah Palin, I’d move to f***in’ Sweden…
John McCain, God bless you for discovering a Republican with massive amounts of balls. The good governor, Sarah Palin, is the bureaucrat-crushing, status quo-punching conservative that I’ve been looking for. I knew of her before John did, I had worked with Gov. Palin on numerous issues up in Alaska, where she proved she was a ‘we the people’ person and not a bureaucrat monger. We are voting Republican this year, not because of John McCain as much as for Sarah Palin.”

If McCain wins it will be because of Sarah Palin, if he loses it will be becuase of himself.
Hilts on October 21, 2008 at 10:21 PM
If McCain loses, this is going to be the reasoning that caused it.
JetBoy on October 21, 2008 at 10:22 PM
Ted has the fevah, Sarah has the cure!
Y-not on October 21, 2008 at 10:24 PM
Let’s see if Laura Ingraham can muster a “Shut up and sing” for ole Ted.
Thanks Ted for speaking up. We don’t need celebrities to shut up. We need more of them to speak up. Just quit with the threats of leaving. Let the libs abandon ship. We need all the fighters we can get.
The Race Card on October 21, 2008 at 10:24 PM
I feel sorry for the rabbits near the Nugent ranch.
wise_man on October 21, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Not to worry,The Race Card – for every one Laura to scold Ted, there will be two dozen on the left, democrats and in the media (who are also democrats) who will take care of that for her.

Ted, if we need your help, we’ll ask. In the meantime, go hunting, play guitar and shut the fuck up.

Uncle Ted, I am so happy you live a mere 25 miles from me.

That sounds too much like a disease.

Keychains?
JetBoy on October 21, 2008 at 10:32 PM
And that better place was in a quality marinade of olive oil, garlic, salt and balsamic vinegar. Or maybe some freshly squeezed lemon juice.
At least, what was left of the rabbit after Ted ran out of .38 ammo.
wise_man on October 21, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Ted loves Alaska. Comes up quite often to hunt.
But for those who like Ayers video… here is an interesting youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xBlTdsnOh8

Lordy. What is with all the potty mouths all over the board tonight. F this, S that, .. mmm mm.
wise_man on October 21, 2008 at 10:34 PM
The great thing about Palin is that she is all upside.
All this experience she is getting about the MSM media from being on the firing squad this past 6 or 7 weeks is great.
She is only going to improve and if she ever gets on her own without being someones understudy I expect lots of great republican red meat.
She has to learn that there is not a downsode to attacking some media puke to there face. If she had called Katie Couric a pig to her face her favorables would actually be higher not lower.
Nobody likes these people. There are so called conservative media I can’t stand.
She should just load the gun and start firing in all directions
kangjie on October 21, 2008 at 10:34 PM
Hot Damn. Something fun to read. Thanks for the link, AP. Nugent is a legend.
Spirit of 1776 on October 21, 2008 at 10:34 PM
How in the heck carbon did your comment post after mine wouldn’t this morning because of the word bitch.
hawkdriver on October 21, 2008 at 10:35 PM
The Nuge is hysterical. Palin/Nuge ’12.
And Allah, thank you for not posting that soul-crushing Zogby poll… yet.

And I couldn’t even say that Joe Biden was going to be the media’s b*tch after the election this morning without it getting my comments sent to the church ladies office.
See!

They have shaken loose their mortal coil and now have joined that great rumba line in the sky. They leave us their but Their toes to bring good fortune when starting our cars and a slightly gamy aftertaste. Little angles.

Easy money on Ted. Bruce is a wuss. Claimed homo during Viet Nam.

When. The. Hell. Is Nuge going to get around to running for office?

I’d rather see Cheney take him hunting.
Laura in Maryland on October 21, 2008 at 10:40 PM
No kidding… Team McCain had 2 opportunities to really remake themselves policy and message wise… after he got the nomination and after/around the convention… after the convention there was a huge opportunity to remake everything and really nab new demographics… but the people running this campaign seem to be blind to opportunity… this campaign is like a mashup of Dukakis and Bush circa 2004… Noonan had the right question after the convention… is this 1980 or 2008?…
ninjapirate on October 21, 2008 at 10:42 PM
Springsteen yes? Cheney would show him who is the real boss.
carbon_footprint on October 21, 2008 at 10:43 PM
That’s the voice of reason.
Spirit of 1776 on October 21, 2008 at 10:43 PM
The Nuge don’t run for office. He seizes power!
ronsfi on October 21, 2008 at 10:43 PM
Uncle Ted may have a potty mouth but he claims to have never used drugs or alcohol.

Wow. I am really glad I read that. God Bless America and God Bless Ted Nugent!
Ordinary1 on October 21, 2008 at 10:50 PM
Sad, the last quote, above.
p.s. his “If it wasn’t for Sarah Palin, I’d move to f***in’ Sweden…” is silly, and defeating much of what he said, if he’d stop thinking about it. But he’s forgiven for much other that he pointed out, simply and directly.
Entelechy on October 21, 2008 at 10:52 PM
Fake. According to ACORN the real Ted Nugent lives at 24568 W. Hope St, Toledo.
Limerick on October 21, 2008 at 10:52 PM
Oh yeah! Mr. Fundraiser for copkillers: Born in the USA, dead in a man-sized safe. Go Cheney Go!
Laura in Maryland on October 21, 2008 at 10:52 PM
For some reason, Uncle Ted is the only foul mouthed person whom I can stand. More than that, I’m genuinely entertained by his rants.
Maybe because he’s almost always right.
pugwriter on October 21, 2008 at 10:53 PM
Hey how come y’all are allowed to swear tonight? Past the moderators’ bedtime or a little loosening of discipline in the ranks, to let us blow off steam?
In that case, I say “bugger bunnies”.
Fortunata on October 21, 2008 at 10:54 PM
Heh, MDS, we zoomed in on the same passage :) Most significant, and saddest, of all.
Entelechy on October 21, 2008 at 10:54 PM
Great interview by Uncle Ted! And I agree completely with his remarks about Gov. Palin, whose got more brass than the entire GOP combined.
james23 on October 21, 2008 at 10:54 PM
The Nuge is crazy! I’m not sure he knows how socialist Sweden is, he might want to rethink his emigration plans.

Regarding the bailout, a meeting of bankers was to take place in San Francisco, in huge numbers. Protesters drove them off with these signs “Jail ‘em, don’t bail ‘em”. Heard on KFI 640 AM, this afternoon.
Our Congress, all of it, needs to be replaced, to teach them a lesson. The whores are us!
Entelechy on October 21, 2008 at 10:58 PM
MDE why am I not surprised?
Classic. Great movie.

Like several HAers, I’ve been calling for a McCain/Palin ticket since May.

Nuge rocks. One man who has killed more animals than SP.
dentalque on October 21, 2008 at 11:01 PM
*PSSSSSSSSSSSST!!*
*whispers* … he wasn’t serious, Entelechy. In fact, he was mocking the left idiots who promised to move to france if Bush won, same as that baldwin brother who made the same comment. A few people were upset hat he ‘made the claim’ as well and didn’t see the satire.*
wise_man on October 21, 2008 at 11:01 PM
Wrong. Secretary of the Ineterior

If McCain wins, it will be because of Sarah Palin. If McCain loses, it will be because I didn’t do enough.

CapedConservative on October 21, 2008 at 11:02 PM
While Sarah knows the proper way to field dress a moose. And a caribou, Ted Nugent has single-handedly made two species native only to texas go extinct.
*true story*
wise_man on October 21, 2008 at 11:03 PM
Anyone in the mood for some Palin Poetry? Ordinarily I would keep it to myself since I know it doesn’t do her justice, but in the interest of provoking someone with talent to take a stab here goes.
A cool breeze from Wasilla
Has everyone excited
Sensible people everywhere
Feel more and more united
The Artic Fox, with style and grace
among her many talents
Intelligence with a lovely face
Has brought our ticket balance
Thank you Senator John McCain
For your inspired choice
So many of us felt so alone
Now we feel we have a voice
So let us now do battle
with the socialist jackass
With John and Sarah in the saddle
We can easily show more class
Win or lose, we’ll fight the fight
With hearts so full of gladness
The right now has a guiding light
To banish any sadness
Saracudah! Saracudah!
Let it ring across the land
Saracudah! Saracudah!
Let’s give the lady a hand
sleepyhead on October 21, 2008 at 11:04 PM
Very nice young lady, I like it.

I know wise_man. I thought they wanted to move to Canada, though.
Entelechy on October 21, 2008 at 11:06 PM
Put some ointment on that manly rash. You’ll feel better in a few days.
R D on October 21, 2008 at 11:06 PM
Yuk. Why would anyone move to Canada?
wise_man on October 21, 2008 at 11:09 PM
Come to think of it, if you don’t like Uncle Ted, maybe you’re not so manly.
R D on October 21, 2008 at 11:09 PM
Um, no. Every time he talks, he makes damn good sense. We don’t get a lot of that these days.
MadisonConservative on October 21, 2008 at 11:10 PM
That’s our Theodore. Now, if we can get Alec Baldwin to move to Canada and Tina Fey to leave the planet altogether, we’d be in a lot better shape.
RMCS_USN on October 21, 2008 at 11:10 PM
That’s where Baldwin, Streisand, and others threaten to move to, and then they never do…I don’t know why (Canada).
Entelechy on October 21, 2008 at 11:10 PM
Ted rocks. Why you have a problem with him is beyond me.
Spirit of 1776 on October 21, 2008 at 11:12 PM
Tell us how you really feel Ted!..lol I can’t help but love the man but,..maybe he could put in a few”God Bless you man”
christene on October 21, 2008 at 11:14 PM
Yes sleepyhead, that was really good!

Well, most of the time it is, but every now and then….
Great interview!
FloatingRock on October 21, 2008 at 11:18 PM
I emailed AP and asked him to break out the ban hammer.
RMCS_USN on October 21, 2008 at 11:18 PM
Folks, don’t be afraid of language. It’s been so corrupted by political correctness and offensensitivity that the only way to fight is to speak frankly. Elastic effect. If they’re going to be offended by normal words, then normally use actually offensive words until they get their minds right.

I don’t know why MR has a problem with him but mine is his avoidance of the draft in Viet Nam. To me he is a fake.

CapedConservative on October 21, 2008 at 11:23 PM
Nuts. I can’t stand the tatling and the banning. Our side should hardly ever consider the hammer.
Manly is a treasure. He’s got a right to disagree on Ted.
Entelechy on October 21, 2008 at 11:24 PM
2 questions Bradky, if I take that assertion at face value.
1- Does that mean he shouldn’t speak his opinion, or do you think it should be discounted because he’s a hypocrite?
2- Believe in redemption? (here, not upstairs)
Spirit of 1776 on October 21, 2008 at 11:25 PM
Ban ManlyRash? All he did was make a comment. When an ordinary citizen can’t make a comment, that’s scary.
I am Manly Rash.
Terrie on October 21, 2008 at 11:28 PM
Fuck you, asshole. Now ban me.
ManlyRash on October 21, 2008 at 11:30 PM
Well, I feel pretty cheap… call me a whore if you want, or simply call me pragmatic, but at this stage, I’ll take McCain/Palin support from anyone not guilty of a child sex crime if it will help get McCain elected.

CapedConservative on October 21, 2008 at 11:30 PM
Seems to me “Section 8″ is as good a reason as any to keep someone out of a war zone.

Suck it, RMCS_USN
ManlyRash on October 21, 2008 at 11:31 PM
Shunning also works.
sulla on October 21, 2008 at 11:31 PM
1. Everyone has the right to speak their opinion. I discount it because I view him as a hypocrite of the first order – his remarks about the 50 caliber were disgusting.
2. Redemption here? I won’t dissuade those who give him a pass but to me he is on the same level as Fonda and everyone who went to Canada to wait it out. When it comes to Viet Nam I am a bit myopic about things like that. 58,000 people did what they were asked and never returned. It is personal I guess.
Bradky on October 21, 2008 at 11:33 PM
Exactly. Tastes great coming and going.
sulla on October 21, 2008 at 11:33 PM

Cindy Munford on October 21, 2008 at 11:37 PM
The stages of America are filled with entertainers that didn’t serve.
Springsteen. Joel, Taylor, Diamond..The list is almost endless. Why single Ted out?
hawkdriver on October 21, 2008 at 11:37 PM
How do you figure?
misterpeasea on October 21, 2008 at 11:39 PM
So RMCS_USN can complain to the Human Rights Commissions and have Manly Rash dragged before the Kangaroo Courts where the truth is no defense.
Viva Steyn!
Viva Manly!
Laura in Maryland on October 21, 2008 at 11:40 PM
I’m over this whole Nugent quote thing.
Anybody here ever wonder how Obama’s hemming and hawing got started?
Michelle: Does this dress make my butt look big?
Barack: Um, er, uh, hmmm, uh, well, …
Terrie on October 21, 2008 at 11:40 PM
Did the ones you mentioned use the tactics Nugent used to avoid service or did they simply not get drafted or volunteer? I really don’t know. Ted admitted to this in an interview.
Bradky on October 21, 2008 at 11:41 PM
I was simply suggesting was that there are options beside banning. I’m not a big fan of the banhammer.
I’m not shunning, or threatening to. I don’t comment that often as it is; who would notice?
