But he's not as despicable as Clinton was, by leading anti-war demonstrations in a foreign country while US troops were fighting to contain communism. Of course I realize many of you would've favored capitulation to the Soviet Union, but that's neitherr here nor there.

Obama is a lying failure, but that doesn't mean I'm going to vote for a republican, especially one like Romney.
Yea, i favored capitulation to the Soviets.....which is why i joined the Army during the Cold War. (lame)

Clinton was leading anti-war demonstrations in a foreign country? Which one?

And yea, you're gonna vote for Romney. Gimme a break.

and that is your definition, for others what nugent did absolutely falls under "draft dodger". without an exact legal definition it's a completely subjective term.

IMHO he was as high as a kite in that interview.
unlikely. from the excerpt:

" I was extremely antidrug as I’ve always been, ...."

( i find a bit of ironic comedy between that and that the cover featured jonny rotten, another person who is anti-drug ).

Very off topic but I agree 100%. The two shouldn't be used in the same sentence.

Saying Stevie Ray Vaughan and Ted Nugent in the same sentence should be illegal.

I've never seen a poll in which Nugent was even ranked in the top 50 greatest guitar players, let alone in a league with SRV. Nugent is a decent at best guitarist.

You shouldn't bring his duplicity up.

Here's his chronology:

Clinton's Draft Avoidance

At least Nugent supported the troops.
He certainly did support the troops - by bragging about how he got all poopy in an elaborate ruse that assured that he would never be one himself.

What a guy.
