Ted Nugent now:

"Typically the left really is a cult of denial. Let's look at their mantra – 'war is not the answer.' Are you just mentally ill to think that? The Concord Bridge. The Alamo. The French Revolution. The response to Pearl Harbor. You don’t wage war against evil? What’s plan B? Letting the emperor enslave America? Of course war is the answer."

Ted Nugent, 1990, recalling the Vietnam years, as reported in the Detroit Free Press:

"He claims that 30 days before his draft board physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last 10 days, he ingested nothing but Vienna sausages and Pepsi; and a week before his physical, he stopped using bathrooms altogether, virtually living inside pants caked with his own excrement, stained by his urine. That spectacle won Nugent a deferment, he says."

Gee, no wonder the guy moved to Crawford, Texas.

(Though I guess he's still thinking about running for governor of Michigan in '06. If he does, I'd write a large check to anyone who pledged to send that draft-dodger quote to every veteran in the state -- either before or after sending a photo of the Nuge performing in front of a Confederate flag to the 15% of state residents who are black. Oh, and throw in a flyer with some of these quotes. And these. But only after he wins the Republican primary.)

UPDATE: Flag link fixed.
