Beck Defends ‘Good Man’ Ted Nugent From Leftist Attacks, Asks Why Secret Service Doesn’t Investigate Farrakhan Instead

By now, Blaze readers are likely familiar with the controversy surrounding rock legend Ted Nugent, who spoke out candidly against the administration during an appearance at the recent NRA conference. In particular, DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz bore the brunt of Nugent’s scorn, but he had some choice words for the administration as well. Needless to say, his remarks went over like a lead zeppelin with leftists, and as a result, the longtime rocker is now being investigated by the Secret Service — the same agency whose members were recently dismissed for allegedly engaging the services of Cartagenian prostitutes.

Glenn Beck, noting the irony, dedicated a portion of his Wednesday evening broadcast to defending someone who he considers an American patriot, a man of faith, a responsible steward of the land and simply, an over all “good, decent man.”  

If Nugent is on the Secret Service’s radar, Beck asked if the agency also plans to interrogate members of Occupy Wall Street, Louis Farrakhan and the New Black Panthers, all of whom have overtly called for physical violence. Yet, as Beck pointed out, while Hezbollah “gets cozy” with Julian Assange on Russia Today, Warren Buffett’s corruption intensifies, and GSA’s lavish clown-filled team building exercise comes under fire, it is somehow more important to probe Ted Nugent.

Rather, Beck suggested the president send someone to investigate his own Secret Service in the wake of its scandal rather than interrogate The Motor City Madman (as Nugent is dubbed) famed for crooning such melodies as “Wang Dang Sweet Poontang” and “Cat Scratch Fever.”

Is he a danger to anyone? “Not unless people in Washington start to sprout antlers and Ted is given a hunting license.”

Beck said he understand why Secret Service takes anything that could be construed a threat against the president seriously, and wouldn’t have it any other way, however, Nugent’s comment “wasn’t even directed toward the President.” Instead, Nugent followed up his impassioned remarks with a plea for people to head to the polls in November and get out the vote. Beck asked how many people love the constitution the way Ted Nugent does.

A patriot

During a recent event in which Beck had the occasion to meet with wives of fallen Navy SEALs, emotions were running high, but Nugent arrived with his “heart of gold” and put everyone at ease. Beck said that upon observing Nugent’s congenial way with these fallen soldiers wives, he just fell back and “basked in the glow” of a good man who has the ability to touch people’s hearts. Later, in the greenroom, a tearful Nugent relayed a powerful incident to Beck.

To illustrate the kind of patriot he believes Nugent to be, Beck relayed this very story to viewers and it undoubtedly shocks all who have heard it told.

Nugent had learned that a fallen SEAL, Chris Campbell, had formally willed that Nugent perform at his memorial should he be killed in service. The 36-year-old husband and father died when his helicopter was shot down over Afghanistan. He and 29 others were lost.

Upon learning of Campbell’s passing, Nugent put all other plans on hold, rearranged his schedule, chartered a private jet and started to make his way to honor this serviceman, when, just before boarding his plane, received a phone call saying that “someone high up” in the military did not want him present.

Beck thought it difficult to imagine who would have the nerve to disrespect the final wish of a fallen Navy SEAL.

This was only one instance underscoring Nugent’s sense of community, service and patriotism. Yet somehow, Ted Nugent, a law enforcement officier himself, is who the administration has its eye on for investigation?

      Now your talkin my kinda language. Can any Beckerhead lovers here tell us why Beck and his dopey co-horts on his radio show slandered Sheriff Joe Arpaio over his 6 month investigation of Obama lies and deceit? Beck is a great pretender of the Constitution. He has been missing in action when it comes to the Constitutional crisis of the century. This is pitiful!

      Obama was never eligible to be POTUS because he was never vetted in respect to his meeting the Constitutional requirement to be a “natural born Citizen.” All those forgeries and the fraudulent SS# are the result of the Obama enablers attempting to make Obama into something he isn’t. He isn’t a “natural born Citizen.”

      Beck and The Blaze should be ashamed of themselves for not covering the many, many Obama ballot challenges, one of which is huge and going on right now in Florida. Attorney Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch is the lead attorney the Florida ballot challenge. The judge who will be sitting in front of Klayman will get an ear full and a boat load of evidence as to why Obama should not be on the Florida ballot. Where the hell is Beck, FOX an The Blaze on this story – no where to be found. Shame on all of you. Where is Beck, FOX and The Blaze on the Sheriff Joe Arpaio on going CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION of the crimes committed by Obama and his enablers – no where to be found.
