Ted Nugent will meet with the Secret Service on Thursday as a result of incendiary comments he made about the president, the rocker told conservative radio host Glenn Beck.

“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,” Nugent said on Wednesday, according to the Beck-founded website The Blaze. “I‘m sure we’ll have a great conversation … bottom line is, I’ve never threatened anybody’s life in my life. I’ve never threatened. I don’t waste breath threatening.”

Nugent emphasized that he has a great deal of respect for the Secret Service, and never actually advocated physical violence.

“Every reference I made, whether it’s a shot across the bow or targeting the enemy, it always ended the sentence with ‘in November at the voter booth,’” he said on the show. “I’m not trying 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.”

The Secret Service confirmed on Tuesday that it would look into the musician’s remarks.

At the National Rifle Association convention, Nugent had said, “If Barack Obama becomes the president in November again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.”

“We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November… Our president, attorney general, our vice president, Hillary Clinton — they’re criminals, they’re criminals,” he added.

Meanwhile, Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign took steps Wednesday to distance itself further from Nugent, telling NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell on Wednesday that the campaign “never solicited” Nugent’s March 2 endorsement, apparently contrary to a Texas Tribune article written at the time.

That article said that Nugent’s endorsement came only following a phone call with Romney, when the former Massachusetts governor promised not to restrict Second Amendment rights. (Nugent is an avid hunter.)

The Romney campaign’s disavowal comes after it already distanced itself from Nugent on Tuesday.

“Divisive language is offensive no matter what side of the political aisle it comes from. Mitt Romney believes everyone needs to be civil,” said campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul.

None of the above

He is just another ignorant red neck seeking a moment of notice by the media for making some stupid remark. Who would even know who he was were it not for this little charade
of lunacy?

Ted Nugent is part of what is inherently wrong with this country.

No matter what people feel about President Obama, he is due respect as our President I know this is not the first time that people have disrespected President Obama, but the continual attacks on him is disturbing to most Americans.

Let's say that if Ted Nugent was you neighbor and he made an inflammatory statement to you, how would you feel, and better still what would you do?

No he isn't He isn't even due respect as a human being.
Take a look at how badly the left treated President Bush before you complain about little barry.

Do you know that when Bushy took office, we had a surplus? Do you know that Bushy and his cronies raided Medicare, causing it to potentially go bankrupt? Do you know that Bushy deregulated Wall Street, allowing the wolves to take the money? Do you know that the recession started when Bushy was still in office? It's no wonder the left was angry.

Ted Nugent is not a threat to President Obama

He's not really going to commit any act of violence. He's merely politically posturing, spouting off rhetoric for publicity.
