Ted Nugents greatest, if not so melodic, hits

Ted Nugent, poet laureate of the politically incorrect, is no stranger to making waves with his unorthodox political analysis. His insults and curse-laced soliloquies dot the news so often that they've basically been rendered white noise, but every once in awhile he says something that either causes the politicians affiliated with him to shake their head in sympathy or denounce him.

After Nugent called President Obama a "subhuman mongrel" last week, Texas Gov. Rick Perry responded by sayingThats Ted Nugent . Thats just Ted. Anybody thats offended sorry, but thats just Ted." Perry later said that Nugent should apologize. Rand Paul took the opposite tack of distancing himself from the singer of "Wango Tango," ranked seventh on Guitar World's list of 100 Worst Guitar Solos.

Many other Republican politicians have followed suit. Nugent responded in kind Friday:"I apologize for using the term. I will try to elevate my vernacular to the level of those great men that I'm learning from in the world of politics."

Here's a very long list of the other times Nugent said things that Republican politicians would probably rather he hadn't.

Nugent says congrats to President Obama after his reelection in 2012:

Nugent analyzes Obama's 2013 State of the Union speech:You just cant get more of a predictable flowery script. And every time he is done speaking he either does just the opposite or nothing at all.

Nugent floats the idea of starting an American Revolution sequel: "I'm part of a very great experiment in self-government where we the people determine our own pursuit of happiness and our own individual freedom and liberty, not to be confused with the Barack Obama gang who believes in we the sheeple and actually is attempting to re-implement the tyranny of King George that we escaped from in 1776.And if you want another Concord Bridge, I got some buddies."

Nugent unleashes all his favorite adjectives in an analysis of the president: "I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame enough Americans to be ever vigilant not to let a Chicago communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel like the acorn community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America."

Nugent earns an audience with the Secret Service: "If you want more of those kinds of evil anti-American people in the Supreme Court, then dont get involved and let Obama take office again. Because Ill tell you this right now: if Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year. ...But if you cant go home and get everybody in your lives to clean house in this vile, evil, America-hating administration I dont know what youre made of. If you cant galvanize and promote and recruit people to vote for Mitt Romney were done. Well be a suburb of Indonesia next year. ...Our president, and attorney general, our vice president, Hillary Clinton, theyre criminals, theyre criminals. And if you take that adamant we the people defiance, remember were Americans because we defied the king. We didnt negotiate and compromise with the king, we defied the emperors. We are patriots, we are bravehearts. We need to ride into that battlefield, and chop their heads off in November."
