Right-winged rocker Ted Nugent likened himself to a "black Jew at a Nazi-Klan rally" after appearing on a radio show defending his speech at an NRA convention, where he said he would "either be dead or in jail" if President Barack Obama gets re-elected.
The comment about the president is being looked into by the Secret Service. Nugent, a fervent gun rights advocate, hunter and Republican, denies threatening Obama. Democrats were calling on Mitt Romney and Republicans to denounce the comments Nugent made at the NRA convention in St. Louis over the weekend.
Romney has yet to speak about Nugent's speech and Nugent denied making any threats. Nugent also called Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of state Hilary Clinton criminals and that “We are patriots. We are brave heart. We need to ride in the battlefield and chop their heads off in November.” A Secret Service spokesman said agents are aware of Nugent's comments and will conduct an appropriate follow up.
