TED NUGENT Fires Back At 'Media Punks'

January 26, 2007

The Associated Press reports: Rocker Ted Nugent is denying that he said anything about non-English speakers while performing at Gov. Rick Perry's inaugural ball last week.

In a guest column in Thursday's Waco Tribune-Herald, Nugent said allegations that he shouted the offensive remarks — reports made by some who attended the Jan. 16 ball — were "pure, unadulterated lies."

"In total defiance to the vicious lies and hateful allegations of 'racism' leveled at me by irresponsible, unprofessional and downright goofy media punks, I never said a word about immigration or language, specifically not the alleged slam against 'illegal immigrants' or 'non-English-speaking' anyone," Nugent wrote.

The outspoken rocker wrote that he will recruit more National Rifle Association members, provide hunting trips for needy children and wounded soldiers and their families, and fight the war on drugs and drunken driving.
