Ted Nugent and his Problems with, Well, Blacks

I think it might be high time that Ted Nugent covers the Britney Spears song “Opps I Did It Again” because the Nuge has found himself once again in hot water with a government agency.

Just a week since Nugent showed how much love he has for our first Black president (No Love for Obama by the Nuge as Secret Service Looks into Comments, 04/18/2012) he [Nugent] has found another problem with blacks, only this time with a black bear.

The 63 year-old rocker and conservative activist pleaded guilty Tuesday for a misdemeanor via telephone in the United States District Court in Ketchikan, Alaska for violating the environmental protection law, namely The Lacey Act, for failure to track down and kill a black bear he shot and wounded with a bow and arrow three years ago while filming his reality TV show, “Ted Nugent: Spirit of the Wild”.

Under his plea deal, the Nuge has to pay a $10,000 fine and is barred from hunting in the state of Alaska or any other National Forest for a year along with a two year probation. He will also have to film a public service announcement about responsible hunting practices and pay an additional $600 in restitution to the state.

Nugent apologized for the incident in an audio recording played to Anchorage Daily. In the recording he [Nugent] also states: “I cherish my hunting time and relationships with the people and the wildlife of Alaska. I‘m afraid I was blindsided by this…”

I guess the government had to find some cause to fine Nugent, especially after his inflammatory comments made at a NRA convention where afterwards he was question by Secret Service. And since there were no grounds for anything criminal he has now been deemed one in his chosen love of hunting.
