So he might have said recently that Barack Obama was a subhuman mongrel.
The president of the United States. A biracial person. Was called a "subhuman mongrel". Nope. No translation needed, there. I think there is a joyless quality to playing political correctness line-judge--but that is easily out of bounds by any set of rules. This D-list string-picking weirdo and sometimes 2nd amendment mascot seriously went out of his way to say a really offensive thing.
And this is what he does. There are only so many ways to parse the grunts of any primate before you get the gist of their shit-slinging. He slings his shit against the democratically elected president and the kind of presumably limp wristed and weak tea-drinking gun-grabbing vermin that would vote for that kind of commie. Because, as a handful of recent tweets easily attest, he has whole-heartedly swallowed RW propaganda however badly sourced, with all uncritical gusto. That is his shtick, and as a mascot for mayhem, why should we expect anything else or better?
It's just that, when it comes time to be endorsed, it does look bad for someone who went out of his way to embrace just this sort of fuckwit. A very fuckwit that is also a misogynist boor. And that leaves GOP party sages like Rand Paul explaining just how and why the Motor City Madman is bad for business.
Am I wrong to suggest that GOP hopefuls could avoid this kind of mess by avoiding fuckwitted fatmouth mascots in general? Or would that be too detrimental to the bottom line when mascots are part of the actual advertising appeal?

Hi Vixen,
I do not think that the president is a mongrel. Therefore, I disagree with Ted Nugent.
In a broader sense, I would point out that if you live by celebrities, you die by celebrities. Our politicians are all eager to assert their relationships with show business and sports celebrities, but since the same celebrities are always popping off with some outrageous insanity on their way in and out of rehab, the politicians suffer from their relationships.
This is one of the things John-John was trying to point out to us with his magazine George before his tragic plane crash.
He had grown up with more of an insider appreciation of politics than any of us could possibly imagine. And 'George' was an attempt to demonstrate the close association and the crossover between Hollywood celebrities and politicians. Often they are cheek by jowl; somebody makes a movie before rehab and next thing, they are invited to give expert testimony before Congress. (If it's a beautiful actress, naturally some of the Congressmen are hoping to get lucky... However, if it's a beautiful Hollywood starlet, it's easier to get lucky than they think.)
There were people who wanted Warren Beatty to run for president based on his starring role in a movie about an out of control senator. Now there's a good reason to run for president. Next I suppose someone will want Captain and Tenille to run for president based on the meaning of "Muskrat Love." We are racing towards perdition, and the celebrity culture is the wind at out back.
