Has Ted noticed that the supposedly fascist White House he rails against is allowing him to attend SOTU after repeatedly threatening POTUS?

If it's true that Ted Nugent has been invited to the SOTU, that is the most disrespectful act by the GOP toward the President & Sandy Hook.

Great stops around the district today, including Brookhaven this a.m. and Covington this p.m. Returning to DC tomorrow for the #SOTU.

Let us hope that our Commander in Chief @BarackObama is waiting for an appropriate venue, like the #SOTU, to comment on Chris Kyle

If the GOP inviting Ted Nugent to the SOTU address doesn't prove their evil and hate towards the POTUS nothing will.

Can't imagine what fresh new hell Nugent will bring to the #SOTU. His mere presence proves he's depriving his village of their idiot today.

All the Marco Rubios in the world can't wipe away all the hatred, intolerance, and exploitation the Gop has thrown at immigrants. #SOTU

Glad #gop has class not to exploit children at #sotu address. That would be so Hitler-esque. #tednugent

Steve Stockman's date for the #SOTU is Ted Nugent? Sounds pretty gay to me.

by Ozzel via twitter 2/11/2013 10:13:08 PM
Unless the GOP prevents Ted Nugent from attending SOTU, all their blather about reinventing themselves is utter BS.
