Ted Nugent has been banned from the Discovery Channel. How did this happen? The musician believed that his recent one hour special "Ted Nugent's Gun Country" was part of a planned series on the channel, but Discovery Channel is claiming it was never intended to be anything more than a one-time thing. Along with this, a representative from the channel also confirmed Nugent will never return to the channel in "any form or fashion." Sound harsh?
Apparently this has partly to do with ratings -- a spokesperson claimed Nugent's special performed very poorly -- but the complete banning from the channel may have more to do with the musician's politics.
Nugent was recently investigated by the Secret Service after claiming, "We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November" in reference to Democrats at an NRA convention. He also went on what Rolling Stone called a "Twitter diatribe" after Obama's re-election.
What do you think SodaHeads? The Discovery Channel certainly has a right to choose who will be on its programs, but do you think this decision was fair or foul?

Oh yeah...you only like liberty when it works in your favor.
If you are a REAL USMC veteran you swore an oath to defend the constitution.
Deny free speech and you violate that oath.
My guess is you got bumped for butt plugging or other such dishonor.
Twice.
Then murder yourself.
Get my penis off your mind, you homo. I don't swing your way.
I am real dissapointed in Discovery...they were doing so good with Sons of Guns and other shows...must be an idiot took over
The guy who sang "Cat Scratch Fever", telling people how to "make the pussy purr", should be nowhere near the Discovery Channel, unless they do a special on America's Top 10 Redneck Failures.
Aww... could of made a good reality show.
Back then, I didn't have full coverage on my motorcycles anyway, so it didn't really matter...
These days, I only have full coverage on one of my bikes -- my Harley... The other bikes are not worth enough to bother...
