Ted Nugent Says President Obama Also Called Black People Mongrels Babbling bigot Ted Nugent is now attempting to justify calling President Obama a “subuman mongrel” by using the President’s own words from a 2010 interview on ‘The View’ against him. via Media Matters In a disingenuous effort to deflect the firestorm that has engulfed him for calling President Obama a “subhuman mongrel,” Ted Nugent is dishonestly claiming that President Obama previously said the same thing. Nugent’s comments were criticized from politicians of both parties and the media after he appeared at two campaign rallies for Texas gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott last week. The National Rifle Association board member and Outdoor Channel spokesman offered an insincere apology on February 21 for the racist remark, but two days later began demanding apologies of his own on Twitter after discovering that “Obama called blacks mongrels on the View.” He will likely offer a similar argument when he appears on tonight’s edition of CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront. But words in different contexts can have different connotations. Nugent’s comments are in no way comparable to Obama’s. During a July 2010 discussion of race relations on The View, Obama was asked why he identifies as African-American rather than biracial given that his mother was white. Obama replied that because “the world saw me as African-American,” he embraced that. He added that because many who identify as African-American have some white ancestry, “we are sort of a mongrel people.” He concluded that he is “less interested in how we label ourselves, and more interested in how we treat each other.” By contrast, during his January 2014 interview, Nugent attacked Obama as a “Chicago communist raised communist educated communist nurtured subhuman mongrel” and an “ACORN community organizer gangster” who should be imprisoned for treason.
Miley’s flat latex covered cakes turned out to be a bigger problem than we were previously led to believe . According to US Weekly reports : Robin Thicke and wife Paula Patton announced on Monday, Feb. 24 that they were calling it quits on their eight-year marriage. Though multiple sources told Us Weekly the split was a long time coming, a source close to the “Blurred Lines” singer tells Us that their marriage got even rockier after Thicke’s raunchy, headline-grabbing performance with Miley Cyrus at the 2013 VMAs. “The Miley Cyrus fiasco was a big test of their relationship,” the insider reveals of the lascivious “We Can’t Stop” and “Blurred Lines” mashup. “He asked her to help him out as a friend and a wife, and defend him and the performance. He begged her to speak out for him and be there for him.” “She agreed to be the good wife after he begged and pleaded,” the source explains. “Then he asked her to stick with him through awards season, and she agreed. She attended the Grammys with him as a favor.” Indeed, the Baggage Claim actress, 38, also appeared on the Today show on Sept. 18, and defended her husband’s controversial VMAs performance. “They rehearsed for three days. Robin told me in advance,” Patton said of Cyrus, 21, twerking with Thicke, 36. “I thought it was great.” When asked to share the secret to their happy marriage, Patton replied: “At the end of the day it’s love. We’re still madly in love.” “I’m not that uptight. I’m not a traditionalist,” she added. “We’re both artists and I want him to express himself however he feels, and he let’s me do the same.” Though Thicke and Patton put on a united front throughout awards season, the damage to their relationship was apparently already done. The couple, parents to son Julian, 3, released a joint statement announcing their separation on Monday. “We will always love each other and be best friends,” they told Us. “However, we have mutually decided to separate at this time.” “Their marriage was unraveling a long time,” the insider tells Us. “It is not a shock to Robin or Paula, and it is something they have discussed for a long time.” We don’t see anything blurry about this situation. Paula’s been poppin’ mollies and acting like a loopy Lucy at every awards show for the last two years and Robin’s had his hand or lips all over other broads every time we turn around. It definitely sounds like they need a break — even if it’s not a permanent one.
