6. WTF?

I've read the article and I've agreed that yes his comment is racist. Yes its also a grossly stupid one as well but his comment was not the main point of my post. All I did was ask for clarification on given comment in the first post.

If you know anything about Nugent's younger days than you know that he was a rather famous Rock n Roll musician who was rarely sober and liked to party with the best of them. My reference to him being a reactionary means I'm calling him a person who is on the extreme right. Yes he is also a shill for the NRA.

In Jail or dead? Certainly he's made remarks that were not advisable but what exactly has he done that merits jail time or the death penalty? If you mean the remarks he's made about Obama being assassinated than I suppose I can understand confiscation of his fire arms or perhaps some time spent receiving psychiatric treatment. But why does that merit hard time or being executed?

I've also seen video of him hunting the feral hogs from a helicopter. Perhaps you've seen different footage but I didn't see an over abundance of slowly dying hogs. Given the fact that he is shooting a pretty high powered weapon I have a hard believing that any hog suffered a slow death. Certainly not a practice most hunters I know agree with though. But if your looking to cull an invasive species I could see how it could save time.

Also, so what if I'm not Liberal. As I understand it I seem to be further Left than most Democrats or Liberals. I'm an Anti-Capitalist Syndicalist, most Democrats and Liberals aren't Anti-Capitalists. I don't mean it as slur I'm just not a liberal and well the Democratic Party is for the most part a pro-capitalist party. Calling myself a democrat seems to me contradictory in terms. What exactly is your problem with that? While I'm at it, what is the deal with your overall tone? I did not insult you so your apparent hostility is rather perplexing to me.
