Nugent's right, and this article is little more than an attempted distraction and smear piece.

As just one example:
>Instead of focusing on an unarmed 18-year-old being shot to death, Nugent draws attention to the fact that Brown robbed a convenience store

...Um, no. You drew attention to that fact. Nugent mentioned those who "steal, assault & attack cops..." The most important fact in the cop's actions is whether or not he was being attacked and assaulted. If Brown was running away or had his hands up then his death was a murder. If he was attacking the cop then wtf did you expect to happen. Anyone would have been justified killing him if they were being attacked. It's fait accompli when it involves a cop. Whether Brown previously stole something is incidental to this maelstrom.

Or is it? Is this a protest against the growing police state? In which case Brown is the wrong cause celebre, but then the mood of the crowd isn't always perfect. Is it a protest against a privileged White person killed a Black person? Or is it rage that a looter was told no? That his victim stopped him before before he could loot the victim's life.

As far as I'm concerned, Nugent was right on the money, and we can forgive him his references to God.

The only thing I would have said that he didn't, is that we need to stop subsidizing the breeding of more barbarian thugs (through welfare) before they turn the country into another Ethiopia. (And it's OK with me if they abort some of them.)

And if you think it's fun to scare people by behaving like a thug, you are a thug.

Ted just speaks his mind, and expects people to respect that. I have disagreed with some statements in the past but that is the nature of things, not a reason for hammering.

Apparently the author does follow Uncle Ted much. I would say it was one of his more well reasoned and eloquently delivered speeches. I guess I am one of those relatives sitting around the Thanksgiving table you are supposed to leer at tomorrow. While you do I will be raising an adult beverage in honor of my favorite Uncle Ted.

The real issue is that this culture of anyone publishing on the internet as a "journalist" leads to incredible lack of clarity, facts and a huge upswing in bias. They use it for their own agenda drving and it leads to more and more "fast and loose" reporting. Look at the melee that was the post shooting crap, where everything and anything was reported from he was shot with his hands up to he was shot in the back. It becomes virtually impossible to find facts after a while especially when a screaming dude on cam says he was murdered right in front of his eyes, and later quietly says he didn't see anything. Adds up to a bulls@#t environment. A lot like the Obamanation crap with his crappy ripoff health care debacle.

They put so many words in his mouth is infuriating. I stopped reading after "gangsta" culture presumably means rap music. I like rap music and I no that doesn't mean I'm part of "gangsta" culture.
