Former '60s/70s Good time Rock 'n Rollers, all grown up, hesitant to take on The Nuge

From Eric Dondero:

Nugent appeared on Neal Cavuto Thursday, and made some rather hardline comments against ObamaCare.

From Fox News (via Breitbart):

You've had some very astute politicians on Neal. But I am Ted Nugent. Governor of Pigland. So, I'm the expert on the Health Care bill. Cause I kill pigs. And I just shot a monster big pig here in Texas. And seeing how this is a pig bill, created by pig bureacrats to help out American pigs, as I approached this big pig that looked like a beached sperm whale, I was expecting George Castanza to come out of the bushes and extract a titlest number three ball from his blow hole. And as I was about to put a ten millimeter slug through this pig's head, the last thing he said as rrrrhhhhh. Which is pig for where's my health care.

(Pause in the interview)

In November we gotta vote the pigs out of office, because this is a redistribution of wealth, this is the Communist/Mao/Che agenda of the Communist/Mao/Che fans in the White House! They're all pigs Neal!

Even Cavuto seemed alarmed.

I know you're talking kill the pig, I know you're talking humorously and all that... there's a lot of folks on the other side who've read into that a not so coated message for violence.

Nugent responded by fanning his cap sardonically, but reiterating, "I'm a Glenn Beck sort of guy... non-violence."

Still, if Nugent's pal Sarah Palin had used the same sort of language, or a Tom Tancredo, Jim DeMint, or some other Tea Party aligned politician had said the same, they would have been simmered alive in the liberal media. Imagine if Glenn Beck had made such a comment.

A check of the leftwing sites normally on watch, such as Media Matters, DailyKos, TPM, et.al. shows no coverage of the Nugent comments.

Does Terrible Ted get away with it cause of his socially hip, culturally liberal persona? Former long-haired hippie types from the Swingin' '70s afraid to take on one of the greatest Rock legends from their youth?
