Ted Nugent Apologizes For Calling Obama A 'Subhuman Mongrel'

[spookyturtle 9,466]

Rocker Ted Nugent has reportedly apologized for calling President Barack Obama a "subhuman mongrel," according to the Ben Ferguson Show and CNN.

During an interview on the Ben Ferguson Show Friday, Nugent apologized for the comments, which he made in January 2014. A post on the show's Facebook page announced the apology:

Nugent did not apologize to Obama, but did apologize for using the term. He said he apologized on behalf of Texas attorney general Greg Abbott -- who is campaigning for governor, with his "blood brother" Nugent at his side -- and politicians like Texas Gov. Rick Perry ® and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas.), who criticized the rocker for the statement.

"I do apologize -- not necessarily to the President -- but on behalf of much better men than myself," Nugent said, calling the comments "streetfighter terminology."

"I apologize for using the term," Nugent said. "I will try to elevate my vernacular to the level of those great men that I'm learning from in the world of politics."

Does that really count as an apology?

That's more like a non apology. But then, Ted Nugent is a fool. Who really cares what he has to say?

Does it really matter? Ted is a moron and his word is just his word.

Not sure why he's apologizing for something he clearly believes to be the truth. Kinda makes him look spineless like all the politicians he detests.

It's much closer to an apology than anything Gary has posted since he made up all that CC in Illinois nonsens.

It seems to me he's not apologizing for the act but rather the words he chose to denigrate Mr. Obama.

"I apologize for using the term"

So as to say next time I want to bad mouth the guy I'll make a better choice of words.

I did not read the article did he apologize to sub humans or mongrels.
