Rocker Ted Nugent likes meat, and has no time for those who don't.

We caught up with the rocker and star of the Outdoor Channel show “Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild,” (which airs on Tuesdays at 8:30 pm ET) to find out more about his love of hunting, and his distaste for Hollywood.

What are some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding hunting, and why do you love it?

As a hunter, I am a person who is connected to Mother Earth and knows where food comes from. The production of tofu causes more death than my machine gun and helicopter. The fields that you need to grow the beans in have to be completely destroyed of any wildlife or any living thing so that it doesn’t have to compete with tofu.

You tweeted about having a great Easter…

Yes, I devoured a ham. It’s the least I can do to celebrate He rises. We have an incredible pantry of God’s renewable protein here in Texas and Michigan and God just keeps sending me packages of delicious grilled meat and I accept them.”

You’re speaking at the 2011 NRA Show in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this weekend where you’re hosting a seminar session called, "I Still Believe," which focuses on freedom and gun rights. What is the main message you’re trying to get out?

It has always been the brain-dead elitist element to disarm others, while they are armed and protected by the other’s tax dollars. The misconception is misrepresentation in the media, and people who look at a gun and immediately look at the tragic use of a gun.

They don’t look at a chainsaw and think of dismembered people, they don’t look at automobiles as the tool of the drunk driver, and it is this bizarre mysticism of some shallow minds that the gun has a personality. Guns save lives. Anti-gunners have created these gun free zones where more lives have been lost. The most evil empires start by disarming their subjects, meanwhile 99 percent of gun owners in America have never caused a problem.

So what solutions do you have for curbing crime?

If you want to stop crime you can’t go after hardware, you would stop the early release, the parole, the plea bargaining and the turning of the states' evidence by vicious evil monsters that are raping and murdering Americans. Don’t let them out of the cage! Crime will be down 90 percent the day we do that, because 96 percent of the crimes are committed by some judge or some prosecuted attorney somewhere let him out of the cage. When my dog poops on the couch, he’ll never do it again – because I won’t let him near the couch again. What an idea!

You’ve come under fire by numerous animal rights groups such as PETA over the years – what rationale do you give people who disagree with hunting and slaughtering animals?

Where will next year’s productivity live if we don’t balance the surplus? It makes a lot more sense than Bill Maher and Pam Anderson (celebrity animal rights activists) saying we should stop hunting, because if you did than where would production live?

Speaking of Hollywood types, have your conservative opinions caused you trouble in the entertainment industry over the years?

(It is) like being a Jewish bagel operator in Nuremberg in 1938 and being scorned by Nazis. I’m the good guys, they are the bad guys. As long as the idiots don’t like you, it proves you are not an idiot.

I have been attacked for my NRA activities, my activities as a hunter, attacked as a real conservationist. Here is a man that has been attacked for my militant hatred for drinking and driving, and drunk idiots ruining lives because in Hollywood, if you aren’t drooling, puking and dying it is not a party. If you want to see a party watch Uncle Ted – I have been clean and sober for 63 years and this is a f**king party! Write that down!

the Nudge is a WILD MAN for sure!

Go Ted! The Idiots hate me too!

hahaha...and he does it with a bow and arrow too... he's a real man, not a sissified tofu eater...

HELL YEAH!

A real man can kill what he eats!

I am no vegetarian, I have no qualms with people eating meat or even killing meat FOR FOOD(as opposed to for 'sport')

but I love this analogy

They don’t look at a chainsaw and think of dismembered people, they don’t look at automobiles as the tool of the drunk driver, and it is this bizarre mysticism of some shallow minds that the gun has a personality



NEWS FLASH! Chainsaws are DESIGNED to cut things,although they can be used to cut people

Automobiles are DESIGNED To transport us, although they can be used to hurt people

Guns are designed to KILL or MAIM....lol , kind of a little difference there,,,

motor city madman for president!! love ted, outspoken but pretty much right on target and he could put on a helluva concert at his inaugural

True on all accounts, but each one can also save lives too!

Long live Uncle Ted!

Except Tedster is not putting the accidental deaths from guns into the conversation or the lunies who have guns who kill innocent people.

Hunting for food to eat for the family is okay but hunters get kinda crazy with it.

Yes but by this logic, you could ban or limit ANYTHING, since accidents can always happen with things, and you will always get the crazy or irresponsible types. It's not fair to punish the innocent for the mistakes of others. It's that type of mindset being drilled into us, that is the very reason our freedoms and rights are dwindling.

We need to go back to personal responsibility. You and you alone are responsible for yourself, no one else is. You make a mistake, you go nuts, that's on you. Pretty basic concept seems to me.

All good so you go tell that to the post office workers families who lost their family member to a loonie with a gun, intead of his fists which wouldn't have killed anyone, the Mcdonald patrons who family members were shot down for no apparent reason, the families of the college students who were gunned down, the families who lost their lives when Gifford was shot down, the families of the military personnel who were at the base here in the states, the mother of the child who got ahold of daddies gun and shot his sister and killed her, the child in the car who is in the wrong place at the wrong time, the man in his bed who is killed by a random bullet, etc....

After you tell them that the loonie was not being personally responsible and their loss was just a result of that irresponsibility lets see what the responses will be.

You don't get it. To argue with you is pointless, so I'm not even gonna try. You're not gonna understand it anyway, that much is obvious to me.

Actually I take it back I will say this one more thing. What if everyone who WAS responsible had guns, and could put a stop to the loony before he ever did so much damage? Suddenly the game changes no?

Do you not see how this can be a good thing? If you make all guns illegal, then you set yourself up to be defenseless against those who abuse them already. You're asking for it then.

But it never happens that way. All the responsible gun owners are never on target when the loonies come around. It just never plays out that way.

I am not completely anti gun, I just see too much irresponsibility and damn lunatics with them. Innocents die too often at the hand of guns, legal guns at that.

I understand that, but to punish the responsible is not the answer. That isn't gonna stop anything you do realize that. Legal or illegal, if someone is dead set on doing something, they will do it. Same goes for accidents, you can never fully prevent them.

All the red tape hurts the good people more than it does the bad.

And as far as the responsible owners thing goes, what about when it can be used to protect themselves in their own home? What of that? You limit them, you limit their chances to defend themselves against an intruder with a gun.

No we need lots more red tape. Testing needs to be done to save lives. Mental health testing needs to be extensive and needs to be done every so many years for the sake of these innocents that die each year.

And that right there is why our freedom is going down the tubes, because they have conditioned people like you to believe that more and more involvement is a good thing.

You do realize how subjective the testing can be right?

but hunters get kinda crazy with it.

Please explain.

by this logic we DO ban and limit many things for no other reason that the risk of accidents is more than acceptable in society. we ban cars that do not meet motor vehicle codes, the faa bans aircraft that are not certificated, the fda bans drugs that it finds to be a certain level of risk, etc. the fact is, we have laws because we cannot rely on the personal responsibility you speak of. we can't even all agree on what personal responsibility means. your "pretty basic concept" is just that, a pretty basic concept, not a practical solution to social issues. oh, and our rights aren't dwindling in the least.
