The Year in Blame Shifting: #3

#3: Ted Nugent

When rock star Ted Nugent posted a dozen photos showing “who is really behind gun control” on Facebook in February, describing the people in the pictures as “punks” who “hate freedom” and “would deny us the basic human right to self defense,” even fans of the Motor City Madman and the Second Amendment were startled by the array’s blatant anti-Semitism: All of the gun control supporters were Jews, as indicated by little Israeli flags, and the pictures included captions such as “ISRAEL FIRSTER” (Alan Dershowitz) and “911 Israeli agent”(Michael Bloomberg). Nugent was outraged by the outrage, blaming “dishonest…superFreaks” for misconstruing his message. “Freaks have plummeted to whole new low,” he complained. “Plummet on, punks.”
