Rabid coyotes running around
Another entry in the “my enemies should be killed” department:
Musician and NRA board member Ted Nugent likened Democrats, members of the media and others to “rabid coyotes” on Friday and suggested people should not wait to “get” their guns and “shoot” them on sight.
Nugent, a major proponent of gun rights and the Second Amendment, applied the same comparison to Hollywood and RINOS – the common acronym standing for Republicans in name only – during an interview on InfoWars’ The Alex Jones Show.
“Don’t ask why. Just know that evil, dishonesty, and scam artists have always been around and that right now they’re liberal, they’re Democrat, they’re RINOs, they’re Hollywood, they’re fake news, they’re media, they’re academia, and they’re half of our government, at least,” Nugent said according to conservative media watchdog Media Matters.
Nugent continued: “So come to that realization. There are rabid coyotes running around. You don’t wait till you see one to go get your gun. Keep your gun handy, and every time you see one, you shoot one.”
One wonders how all these people with their guns will know when they “see one.” Recognizing a coyote is one thing, recognizing a rabid coyote is another, and recognizing liberals, Democrats, RINOs, Hollywood people, journalists, people in media, academics, and half the government – that’s really quite different.
Last week Nugent was busy verbally attacking Parkland students.
Symptoms of rabies include aberrant aggressive behaviour and foaming at the mouth. Has Nugent looked in a mirror lately?
Wait. Wasn’t he supposed to have been in jail or dead if Obama were to be re-elected? I must have missed where he was pardoned or resurrected. Seems he’s still busy moving the Overton window to some other galaxy.
Another symptom of rabies in wild animals is that at a certain stage they not only lose their natural fear of humans, they actually appear friendly and will approach people without showing signs of aggression (or of rabies; the thirst, foaming mouth and distinctive walk come later) and will allow themselves to be petted – until they bite and pass the virus across. So that’s bad news for those friendly, oh-so smiley religious types that come knocking at the door.
This ‘new leaf’ of his sure didn’t take very well.
Well, you can start with anyone wearing a Hillary t-shirt. Or a co-exist bumper sticker. I’m an easy one to spot: I have a Darwin fish on my car.
Wearing a Ted Nugent shirt, on the other hand, is a sure sign you are safe, not a rabid coyote, and not to be shot.
That is my version of the Ted Nugent Field Guide to Rabid Coyotes that Should be Shot.
Mrs latsot would disagree. I was an academic for quite a long time and it’s virtually impossible for me to visit an airport anywhere in the world without bumping into someone I know, off to some conference or other. Every time, I start to point out the person and she already knows which one I’m about to indicate. She’d probably do a better job of spotting ex-colleagues than I do.
But to be fair I was a computer scientist. We’re fairly easy to spot in a crowd.
