MY QUESTION WASN'T IF HE HAS A 'RIGHT' TO ATTEND. I realize there are a lot of Republicans on this thread and most of you seem to lack some kind of reading comprehension.
I am questioning the judgment, moral and ethically thinking of a congressman inviting a man who made a threat against the President's life (whether as a joke or not).
This is like inviting a supporter of al queda to tour the Pentagon.
Ted Nugent will be attending the Sate of the Union as a guest of a Republican congressman. Should he have been invited after the hateful comments made against the President?

Texas congressman Steve Stockman invited Nugent to the SOTU.
Nugent last year made a subtle death threat against President Obama and he was questioned by the Secret Service.
His lists of anti Obama rants goes on but after the threat against the President you'd think the congressman would know better.

Why should rude and disrespectful Republicans stop now?
There is not much difference between truth and what the left calls hate for their messiah.
here is what he ACTUALLY SAID and what the Secret Sevice determined WAS NOT A THREAT against Mr. Obama ...
Nugent said that "if Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will be either be dead or in jail by this time next year.”

And you conveniently left out the part where the Secret Service investigated the "threat" thoroughly, and found there was nothing to it.
Sounds like someone wants to keep Nugent away from the SOTU because of the views he holds -- not because of "threats against the president" that the Secret Service determined weren't even threats.
How come you're not exhibiting the same level of indignation over the illegal immigrants who were brought to the SOTU by some Democrat lawmakers?
Unlike Nugent, you see, those illegal immigrants have actually broken the law. Curiously, though, I see nothing here from you objecting to that.
Though...........I concur*
although on second thought... anyone should be honored to be invited to the SOTU event.... even someone who has threatened the POTUS!
And Nugent did, however veiled and THAT is a class D felony:
Threatening the President of the United States is a class D felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871.[1] It consists of knowingly and willfully mailing or otherwise making "any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States". The United States Secret Service investigates suspected violations of this law and monitors those who have a history of threatening the President.
Oh and by the way the freedom of speech is not an absolute right. The only reason we have that right is because of the first amendment.
