Ted Nugent: ‘Trayvon Got Justice’

Ted Nugent says that Trayvon Martin “got justice.” George Zimmerman shot 17-year old Martin to death last year. Nugent is an ’80s rock star who has become popular as a loud-mouthed right wing conservative blowhard who travels the country attacking gun control supporters. Nugent sits on the board of directors of the NRA. In an interview with Maine radio station WGAN yesterday, “Nugent said, ‘Trayvon got justice,’” according to a report in the Bangor Daily News today:

He went on to say that Martin was a “gangsta wannabe” who had a “bloodthirst,” as evidenced by the fact that he was supposedly eager to “get into fights with people.” He said Martin showed racism in calling George Zimmerman a “cracka.” “People who hate Ted Nugent hate freedom,” he said, and promised to continue to speak what he sees as the truth. Nugent said Zimmerman got only a “sliver of justice.” Although Zimmerman was found not guilty, powerful people from President Barack Obama to Attorney General Eric Holder have targeted him, as have “Holder’s best friends,” the New Black Panthers. Nugent implied the president and Holder are trying to subvert the legitimate verdict in the case. “It pains me deeply” to have to acknowledge that the president and some others in the administration are “just bad people,” Nugent said. He said he had hoped to be able to speak better of the country’s top officials.
