At a convention of the National Rifle Association over the weekend, the longtime gun advocate said "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year," he said. "We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November." Nugent also compared Obama and the Democrats to a coyote who should be shot. "It isn't the enemy that ruined America," he said as he reaffirmed his endorsement of Republican front-runner Mitt Romney. "It's good people who bent over and let the enemy in. If the coyote's in your living room pissing on your couch, it's not the coyote's fault. It's your fault for not shooting him." He then told his audience that if they failed to "clean house in this vile, evil, America-hating administration, I don't even know what you're made out of." Confirming that he has a meeting scheduled with the Secret Service during a radio interview with broadcaster Glenn Beck on Wednesday, Nugent said, "We actually have heard from the Secret Service and they have a duty. I support them. I salute them. And I look forward to our meeting tomorrow. We're going to have a little barbecue get-together." "I'm not Advertisementtrying to diminish the seriousness of this, because if the Secret Service are doing it, they are serious. They are dedicated and I will be as polite and supportive as I possibly can be, which will be thoroughly." Just to be clear, we're all paying a lot of attention to the political views of a man who once wrote a song called "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang." The Romney campaign tried distancing itself from Nugent on Tuesday, undoubtedly regretting the former Massachusetts governor's comments last month to a Missouri radio show: "It's been fun getting to know Ted Nugent." "Divisive language is offensive no matter what side of the political aisle it comes from," Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in an email to reporters. "Mitt Romney believes everyone needs to be civil."
