The curious case of Ted Nugent's Mitt Romney endorsement and subsequent possibly-violent comments against President Obama are taking up prime real estate over on MSNBC, spending some of the day researching the relationship between Nugent and Romney and, tonight, with Lawrence O'Donnell dedicating his Rewrite segment to the mystery surrounding who approached who in this most bizarre of political unions.
RELATED: Ted Nugent To Glenn Beck: 'I've Never Threatened Anybody's Life In My Life. I Don't Threaten'
O'Donnell noted that Nugent's comments about the President and shooting coyotes and going to jail were problematic were somewhat toxic, so toxic that the Romney campaign wasn't going to touch them themselves. 'Mitt Romney has delegated the crisis management of the Nugent problem to Ted Nugent,' O'Donnell noted, and then played the interview in which Nugent tries to explain how he would never threaten anyone, and went on to compare himself to a 'black Jew at a Nazi-Klan rally.' 'That guy knows something about damage control,' O'Donnell joked.
The damage control hadn't silence those who were curious about how this Nugent/Romney thing began in the first place, though, and O'Donnell argued that this too bothered the campaign. 'The only thing that seems to bother Romney is Nugent's claim that Romney solicited Nugent's endorsement,' he noted, adding the information that Nugent had endorsed Romney on March 2 and that now the 'Romney campaign is calling Ted Nugent a liar' when a reporter had spoken to Ted Nugent and Nugent had said that, in fact, he had been approached by Romney.
'So tonight,' concluded O'Donnell, 'America has a difficult choice: which one of these liars is lying about how one of the liars decided to endorse the other liar?'

Mitt ' Ted 2012!!

Come on, why are we even talking about Nugent? The only thing you need to know about Ted is that he is a draft dodging coward who hunts only because the animals are unarmed. If animals were packing heat, you wouldn't see Nugent within a hundred miles of them.
-
They're both pathetic people.
-
He is also an admitted pedophile (Nugent that is)

'Lawrence O'Donnell Dives Into Ted Nugent/Mitt Romney Relationship'
Pass the eye bleach please.
-
Agreed. But remember: MSNBC and FOX are all about entertainment not news. That's how this fits in
-
Nugent, Trump ' Willard seems to be building up quite a collection of lunatic, radical associations.
-
Lawrence O'Donnell is calling someone a 'draft dodger'?
That's like Bill Clinton calling someone a draft dodger.
-
Who sought who?
It doesn't matter. Trigg Nugent is TOXIC.
Whether Mittens went to him or Trigg Nugent came to Mittens, the result is the same.
BTY, same thing with birfher Donald.
But they both are yours, Mittens.
ENJOY!

Romney's afraid of the right wing wackos in his party. He needs their endorsement. He wants to be idolized by them because of his money.
-
Mitt wanted TED to be his BFF and TED wanted Mitt to be his path to relevance. Mitt is regretting his association to TED and TED is in denial.
-
I wouldn't be surprised'nugent hits all the check marks in republican hatred.
-
republicans are so sad
-
Romney just found his running mate: Ted Nugent.
-
Am sure glad that O'Donnell first took Bill Maher to the woodshed about his vile comments, and giving $1million to Obama, and also Hilary Rosen, too. right?. Oh, he didn't? Wow, I guess that makes O'Donnell a complete hypocrite, doesn't it?
-
'Which one of these liars is lying about how one of the liars decided to endorse the other liar?'. That question could lock up a Borg computer until it melted.
-
And John Wayne was a draft dodger.

I learned today that 'Give me liberty or give me death' translates to 'Give me guns or give me guns' in the Retardican language.
I think come November, a large swathe well meaning people (who like Romney and disapprove of Obama) will emphatically choose Obama upon considering the consequences of handing power over to a party dominated by deranged, childlike, nostalgia struck dimwits.
-
Romney needs the redneck, teabagger and gun nut vote so he won't diss this lunatic Nugent.
-
Look at lary odonel's clenched jaw in the photo, his utter look of hatred and rage. You would say he's rabid. All Leftist media Hacks are. They tried to sell the 'wonder' of Brick OBAMO and he turned out to be a bust. Their lust for liberalism is seen as a lie. The angrier these Leftist Media Hacks get, the more I like it. They should all be peeing honey during this administration; Their Boy in the White House. They are peeing vinegar instead.

There is one HUGE thing MSNBC hasn't figured out. It is very hard to do anger and outrage from a liberal perspective. Consider what would happen if Oreilly did his shtick calmly without calling any one a Nazi, etc. It won't work. Why? Because the message matters. His message will be totally flat if he doesn't do it outraged and flailing about. By the same token, MSNBC's message would be much easier to sell if they tone it down, get more analytical minds to present them and used genuine humour. Whatever would kill Oreilly's act is what MSNBC need to do.
-
Agreed. This guy's last single was released in 1988 for goodness sake, he's just trying to resurrect his career by sucking up to the tea party. The fact that this moron who shat his own pants for 10 days straight is getting any attention at all is embarrassing
-
LOD ' beating a dead horse. What else is new'.mountains out of molehills; turning the words that were clearly indicative of the threat to HIMSELF that the Nuge felt to being a threat to HEHIMSELFTHEONE, the Obamesiah'.this is what the left does now. Not news, not truth, spin and lies.
Give it a rest Frances ' the story is being overplayed and will backfire on the left yet again.
