NUGENT: OBAMA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR VETERAN SUICIDE

Nugent: Obama is responsible for veteran suicide

Rocker turned conservative activist Ted Nugent says that there is a clear source for the nation’s veteran suicide epidemic: President Barack Obama.

Nugent urged GOP members to protect veterans, the “best humans that ever walked this Earth.”

“Here’s your job, Republican Party,” Nugent said the Republican Party of Maricopa County, Arizona’s Lincoln Day Dinner. “Twenty to 25 of those guys kill themselves every day, and they haven’t told you why and they haven’t told anybody else why but they told me why: because the commander in chief is the enemy.”

That was just one of many controversial remarks Nugent made during the event.

The liberal Right Wing Watch seized on the appearance, pointing out other remarks Nugent made throughout the event.

Via the organization:

The National Rifle Association board member then went after protesters who used the “hands up, don’t shoot” slogan, calling it “bullshit,” before he saluted “the other black guy here tonight, we appreciate it.”

“Let’s not just win, let’s crush the enemy,” he said, before saying of Nancy Pelosi: “Bitch ain’t in jail yet?” Nugent added that he and Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio — who introduced him at the event — should arrest former IRS official Lois Lerner and declared that whoever thought the U.S. compound in Benghazi “had adequate security is the devil.”

“Any person, any so-called human being that could designate the Fort Hood terrorist attack as ‘workplace violence’ should be shackled and put in a cage,” Nugent said. “The Democrats are insane.”

Nugent’s comments on veteran suicides have caused the most controversy.

But it isn’t the first time the conservative pundit has suggested that Obama’s actions are driving veteran suicide rates up. He made a similar statement last year on the Alex Jones radio show.

“I’ll tell you why more and more warrior heroes of the military are killing themselves: because they are in absolute frustration and heartbreak that their boss, their commander in chief violates the Constitution that he has made an oath to, while their hero warrior blood brothers are being blown to smithereens and blown up while executing their oath to the same Constitution that the president, the vice president and the attorney general violate,” he said at the time.
