Ted Nugent admits to poaching a black bear.

[Perd Hapley]

Interesting timing. Signed a plea deal, agreeing to a $10k fine and two years probation from hunting in Alaska.

Not the first time he's been caught poaching.  One of these days he's going to step over the line too far and get tagged with a felony.  Goodbye 2nd Amd. rights, Ted.
Hope he doesn't, though.  The Nuge can be a real hoot at times, fun to watch.

As much as the guy is a "character" and I can like him, a lot of the time I feel rather nervous thinking that he & I are on the same side of the 2A iisue.

Not knowing much about the guy, I've wondered for years if he is a liability to the cause. Due to a radio interview I heard with him on Friday, before the NRA meeting brouhaha, it seems obvious that he is. And now he's got a poaching problem?

For once, I'm in agreeance with fisty. 

"Uncle Ted" is a loudmouthed jackwagon, and personally I don't think he's anything but a hinderance to the 2A community.  Makes us all look like mouthbreathing hicks.

Uncle Ted can be a hoot. But then, like a lot of Uncles, he can also be a real jackass.

I have read some things online suggesting that he is apparently a pedophile.  Oral sex from a 12 year old Courtney Love and other incidents.

Agreed.  Years ago when I worked at the Novi Expo Center, I saw him give a fiery speech at the Michigan Outdoorama.  While I agreed fundamentally with what he said, he made an ass of himself.

[Boomhauer]

Never did like Nugent very much...

[Tuco]

It's been awhile. 
May be time for another Zumbo.

What do you propose?

[Boomhauer]

What do you propose?

Since it was a black bear, call Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton!

[TommyGunn]

Since it was a black bear, call Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton!

Who do we call if it was a brown bear ~~~~ Hugo Chavez? ?

[Jamisjockey]

What do you propose?

Shunning!  2A minded people should stop supporting anything with Ted "the 12 year old black president bear killer" Nugents name attached.
Shun him!
Shun him!
 

[Perd Hapley]

So, write the NRA, and demand that they get rid of him? (He's on their board, or something, right?)

Without evidence, this is painfully close to libel.  If you do have evidence, a trip to the prosecuter's office is in order.  In neither case is public posting appropriate.

Yes, I remember learning about this in law school.  

Your legal tip of the day: it is hard to bring a libel case when the subject has admitted it in public.  Some Googling will produce the specifics.

pele massa?  was legal

courtney love? if true thats a problem  the other problem is believing ms love

Isn't there something about maliciousness, too? As in, the person has to KNOW it's not true for it to be libel; if they simply mistakenly believe something is true when it's not, then they aren't liable.

In most jurisdictions, that if you made a statement in good faith and in the reasonable belief that it was true, this would be a defense to a claim of defamation.  But the judge or jury would have to undertake an inquiry to see if your belief that it was a true statement was reasonable and grounded in reality.  If it wasn't, you could be held liable.

...the other problem is believing ms love

.  ain't that the truth.  has no bearing on the fact that Ted is as painfully out of touch as any other self aggrandizing, entitlement attituded, egomaniacal entertainer.

Only a dimebag's difference between him and ms love.

Well, I would bet she won;t live as long as Nugent has, what with her shoving all that shinola in her veins for decades.
