Scott Walker Praises Ted Nugent, Castle Doctrine
Source: Huffington Post
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker attended the National Rifle Association convention in St. Louis last weekend where Ted Nugent made threatening remarks about President Obama. The event reminded Walker of an NRA convention held in Milwaukee two years ago, where Walker gave the welcome address and loved meeting Nugent.
"The best part was I got to meet Ted Nugent before he played the National Anthem on his guitar," Walker said with a wistful smile in a video (watch above) shared on YouTube by James Carter, a public policy graduate student.
Nugent is currently under Secret Service investigation for saying that he would be "dead or in jail by this time next year" if Obama is reelected and comparing Democrats to to "coyotes" that needed to be shot.
Walker was also asked about the Castle Doctrine he signed into law in Wisconsin last year. The measure is similar to Florida's Stand Your Ground gun law, which has come under scrutiny in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting.

there should be so much shame, outrage, and ridicule hurled at them from an overwhelming majority that these fascist would only dare to say this hate-speech in their own tiny circle.

. . . of Nuggent firing his machine-gun in the air telling Obama and Pelosi to suck on it. Then voice over, "Really, Scott? Really? You stand in solidarity with him?"
I want to see Obama win just to see if Nuggent sucks on a gun or robs a liquor store, or whatever he meant by being dead or in jail if Obama wins another term. You know Nuggent would be one of those already if he hadn't hit it big.
The real reason why his declaration is self-defeating? I think his fans are the sort of people would vote for Obama just to see if Ted means it. And Walker is an idiot to embrace this guy or share in that constituency.

* Is the idea a bad one?
* Does it harm innocent people?
* Does it enlarge social and financial inequities between Americans?
* Does it shift the financial burden to those who do not benefit and cannot afford it?
* Is it ill-advised, unlikely to work, costly, and/or in poor taste?
If the answer is yes to all of the above, then Scott Walker is all for it!
Maybe we ought to gin up a really bad idea, like making people who make below $11 an hour (which is where you're all headed) have to pay a poverty surcharge on potable water. See if he goes for that, too.
I'm quite serious about that last part. The guy is malicious, and a terrible decision maker. We should be taking advantage of his harm-the-weak ways at every opportunity.
