against President Obama
Nugent told the NRA gun group last week that he would be 'dead or in
jail' next year if Obama is re-elected in November.
Ted Nugent: 'I Have Never Made Any Threats Of Violence Towards Anyone'
Rocker Ted Nugent has assured U.S. Secret Service officials he has no
plans to attack President Barack Obama or high-ranking Democrats
during the nation's 2012 elections, despite fiery remarks he made
during a National Rifle Association rally at the weekend.
The "Cat Scratch Fever" hitmaker, who is a staunch conservative, hit
the headlines after passionately declaring his support for the
leader's chief rival, Republican Mitt Romney, at the Missouri NRA
gathering.
And he urged members and fans to rally against Obama and the
Democrats, stating, "We need to ride into the battlefield and chop
their heads off in November."
In a video, which has since been removed from YouTube.com, Nugent also
ranted, "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November again, I
will either be dead or in jail by this time next year."
But he insisted he meant nothing by his comments when he met with
Secret Service agents on Thursday.
In a statement released by the rocker before a concert in Oklahoma,
Nugent wrote, "I met with two fine, professional Secret Service agents
in OK today... (It was) a good, solid, professional meeting concluding
that I have never made any threats of violence towards anyone. The
meeting could not have gone better.
"I thanked them for their service, we shook hands and went about our
business. God bless the good federal agents wherever they may be."
Meanwhile, Romney's campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul has distanced
herself and the presidential hopeful from Nugent's remarks, stating,
"Divisive language is offensive no matter what side of the political
aisle it comes from. Mitt Romney believes everyone needs to be civil."
