Ted Nugent says he didn't single out immigrants

18:42 H | Topics: Controversia - Immigration - Language - Texas

sq-red_bkgrnd_btm_int-vh1.jpgRemember Ted Nugent? If you don't watch FOX News Channel a lot, you probably don't see much of him, but you'll occasionally catch the aging rocker pontificating on topics such as the right to bear arms for the NRA or railing against animal rights activists. Now Nugent's in the spotlight again for allegedly making remarks against immigrants who don't speak English at the Texas gubernatorial inauguration on January 16th. Nugent denies the claims:

"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," the outspoken 58-year-old rocker wrote.
However, AP quotes him as saying: ""I will intensify my fight for a united America by demanding all Americans speak English." Apparently he also claims he isn't a racist because he's dedicated records to black musicians such as James Brown. Yeah...

Ted's world views are certainly interesting.

Good, I am glad that Farmer's Branch is now "jumping on the bandwagon." If you are illegal, you have broken the law... Mexicans do not own Texas anymore, since 1845 when Santa Anna, your great general, signed it away!!!

If you do not like it, GO HOME!!!
