Video: Black Man Confronts Ted Nugent After He Calls 'Black Lives Matter' A Terrorist Organization At Michigan Rally


Rocker Ted Nugent stirred it up last week at a Constitution Day rally in western Michigan when he called the Black Lives Matter movement a "terrorist organization." He also called Gov. Gretchen Whitmer a "tyrant piece of shit."

The remark about Black Lives Matter prompted a Black man in the crowd to approach the stage on Friday, take the microphone and repeatedly chant "Black Lives Matter too," according to video by station WWTM (see below).

Nugent, 72, who is originally from Redford Township, was speaking in Centreville, a small western Michigan community in St. Joseph County, as part of the Jack Coleman Presents Ted & Shemane Nugent Constitution Tour, featuring various Michigan Republican candidates for elected office.

"Aren't there any BLM punks who want to come up and harass me?" Nugent asked the crowd, prompting Jalen Brown, a Black man, to approach the stage.

On their lousy politics and their lousy grammar.

Nugent called Whitmer a "tyrant piece of shit." Um, tyrannical, Ted. Use the adjective, or add a conjunction: a tyrant, and a pos.

Of course, she is neither, and Ted personifies has-been, D-list minor celebrity.

No lives matter until Black Lives Matter, too. Why oh why does anyone care what Ted Nugent has to say? Why does the media allow the reactionaries and conservatives to use words devoid of their actual meaning?

Methinks what's left of GOP support are the loudest, most obnoxious most vocal minority. Just like the astroturfed Tea Baggers came ot town halls not to listen but to disrupt, the MAGATs are applying that same bully-boy tactic to shout over everyone else at school board meetings. They require conformity of thought because they doubt their own position. Like the Christains who have never read the bible, they need everyone to agree with them, because they really do not have rock solid faith.

For now, the loudest, most outrageous draws ratings. Ratings rule the roost. Too bad truth doesn't.

Oh, and phuck Ted Nugent.
