Macho men fantasize hiring Ted Nugent to hunt me
Wikimedia Commons
If you’d care to read something really bizarre this afternoon, head over to Mark Taylor’s Wild Life blog. Apparently gunner/rocker Ted Nugent will be playing a gig in Roanoke in April, and Mark toys with the notion of inviting Ted to go turkey hunting.
Well, gobble! gobble! The discussion quickly degenerates into a bunch of armchair Rambos fantasizing about hiring Ted Nugent to hunt down me, rather than turkeys. No kidding.
Bubba Greene, who has posted on this blog, is one. BobH is another. Apparently this discussion is “metro” enough for him.
They get deep into this fantasy. They’ve pledged $300 to make it happen. Now that’s some keyboard bravado for you!
Here’s what they fail to grasp: They’re admitting they’d have to hire Nugent to do their bidding. And they’ve turned him into their $300 fantasy-hunt whore.
They seem REAL excited about that, too.
I guess the lesson here is that you should never underestimate the sense of humor of some anonymous gunners . . .

The first time I looked at that blog, Taylor was wetting himself over PETA and their unmitigated gall in speaking out and having an opinion…only as I recall, he cleverly didn’t mention their name, because that would just be giving him “publicity”. He was apoplectic, and it was funny as hell.
On an earlier thread he had about Nugent, a couple of his people pointed out that Nugent is a freakshow. I guess Taylor interprets freakshowdom as “relevance”. Let him stick to dead animal pictures…political analysis ain’t his thing.
Get out the tissues, someone doesn’t know a joke when he hears it. Sandi went over and took up for Dan on Mark’s Blog (stop bullying my fwiend!)
Its all in good fun, and you know what, you should go hunting with Mark sometime. Most of hunting is just being outdoors enjoying God’s creation and sometimes you are successful. Your experience hunting would be and incredible article and you know it.
Maybe we could Ted Nugent and Dick Cheney to go quail hunting together.
LOL!
The Nuge wouldn’t even give an interview for 300 bucks.
But talk about a charitable press opportunity! “Dan Casey Challenges Ted Nugent To 1-on-1 Paintball Deathmatch”
You could get people to sponsor you and others would sponsor Nugent. The collected proceeds could go to the winner’s charity/cause of choice.
Let’s make it happen.
At what point did you read that you were going to be hunted by Ted Nugent? There was mention of you running around the woods with a feather, and a photo of it taken to be captioned as the ‘biggest turkey in VA’, or something to that matter…..but I still haven’t seen anyone mention that you would be the target.

Careful, Ron. You might hurt some anonymous posters’ feelings with suggestions like that!
” Most of hunting is just being outdoors enjoying God’s creation…” and…killing it.
Wetting myself and apoplectic at the same time? Sounds like something I’ll be dealing with at the end of my Ironman next summer! Well, at least the wetting myself part.
“Wetting myself and apoplectic at the same time? Sounds like something I’ll be dealing with at the end of my Ironman next summer! Well, at least the wetting myself part.”
Mark means he’ll be wetting himself with beer after that ironman . . .
Boy, there’s some really, really hysterical stuff from Bob H over on Mark’s blog. Multiple references to Brokeback Mountain and Deliverance. Makes me wonder if Bob H and Frank are buddies.
pistol pete, I know a joke when I hear one. A joke is funny. Bubba Greene’s fantasy of Dan being hunted and Bob H’s little fantasy for Dan to be be in a scene from Deliverance was not funny and the sickos yucking it up over it weren’t either.
All I posted was: Oh look at the big men wishing a crude assault on a local columnist. Wonder if Dan Casey would allow such an awful “wish” for you on his blog Mark? Great bunch of posters you have here. Would you mind keeping them? No wonder they like the mental cripple that is Nugent.
I don’t know if Dan would sanction such a “fantasy” for Mark or not, but it is certainly open field now.
With beer would be preferred. And I think wetting yourself during apoplexy isn’t uncommon…in the traditional sense.
Dan, first question you’d have to ask him is what happened to “Dead or in jail?”
Yeah Dan, you should go hunting because you cannot possibly spend time “being outdoors enjoying God’s creation” on your bike with your son or anything.
BubbaGreene? AKA Big Al? The oft caricatured dunce on the 70′s classic
Laugh In? The scion of weaselzippers? That is indeed a joke!
“…and… killing it.”

Be fair, Kristen. We don’t kill all of it…
just the tasty, tasty creations.
Sorry. Couldn’t resist.
Hey Bob,
Brokeback Mountain and Deliverance AIN’T METRO!
Just an fyi, ya’ll: Mark and I are in the newsroom laughing our butts off about this. It’s hysterical. I kinda worry about BobH and his fixation with gay rape, however.
BobH, there is help available to you!
No need to try to save face now, Dan. We know you were truly frightened and outraged over this atrocious and oh-so-serious threat to your
lifedignity.And we all know that Mark’s sitting over there right now wondering what it would cost to make a head-and-shoulders mount out of you. You should feel him staring at you intensely right about… now. No, DON’T LOOK! He’ll know you’re on to him.
Dan and Mark were not the people out of line. I have no doubt they can put this ignorance behind them.
Jm white, this will hurt me to admit on Dans blog, but people who hunt for food don’t bother me. People who go to Africa – or those hideous big game farms in Texas – to slaughter what’s left of our rapidly disappearing pool of large mighty mammals disgust me.
A long time ago a client I met with at his place of business spent an hour regaling me with tales of how he acquired all the heads on his wall. He couldn’t have had a less impressed audience.
Why do people even validate this hack. I only remember one song that he did and it was dumb and repetitious. Bruce Springsteen is a true American not this draft dodger.
a) Brokeback Mountain was not about rape
b) Deliverance was a horror movie based on a book with a rape scene.
In case anybody forgot, below is the definition of rape:
Rape: A type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse, which is initiated by one or more persons against another person without that person’s consent.
I won’t post on a blog that I have no interest in.
I’m all for Sandi taking up for Dan. Joke or no joke, talking about shooting or assaulting a real person is in poor taste especially these days when you hear about shootings everyday.
What is the deal with some conservatives on here and their fixations with rape? I guess they forget that they’re supposed to belong to the family values group.
“They’ve pledged $300 to make it happen.”
One might look at that as conspiracy to commit.
I thought The Roanoke Times had developed a civility code for blogs? BobH’s post clearly wishing sexual assault upon Dan was anything but civil. Sick, maybe. Civil, no.
BobH is one weird piece of work.

Debbie, one theory is that as it becomes even a little harder for them to commit rape in all its’ forms on their traditional targets (the environment, minorities, gays, the poor, pacifists, other species, and of course, women), these “conservatives” are forced to suppress their urges for domination, causing a sub-concious strain that makes it hard for them to keep rape out of their conversational language.
Freudian slips of a group bitter over losing privileges, in other words.
Similarly, just notice how the use of violent and aggressive metaphors by massacre weapon defenders, which have always been common, is even greater these days.
“a) Brokeback Mountain was not about rape”
We’re aware of this, but Bob H’s twisted and bizarre post with its reference to dEliverance made it perfectly clear what Bob H was thinking about.
Meanwhile, one can only hope Bob H has retreated to his hidey hole somewhere in Bedford, Pa.
Yeah that Nugent is a real peach, I can see why the folks on Mark’s blog would be fans:

Great comment Warren. It is proven that sociopaths and serial killers have a desire for dominance. The wildlife blog appears to be full of comments of that nature for which you speak. That is why I wouldn’t post on the wildlife blog. I have no issues with hunting or fishing but I do take issue with assault weapons. My friend who is a police officer told me that the criminals have better guns than the police. What these conservatives don’t understand is that it is harder to get a license to drive than it is to purchase a gun or get a concealed carry permit. There are even some crazies that think Sandy Hook is a conspiracy to take away their guns. This is atrocious and unchecked paranoia. Where is it coming from? The right wing tea party crazies.
As for Nugent and his blatant disrespect for America and the elected President; no loss if he were to be deported.
I don’t think you can deport Americans and I don’t think any other country would want him, if you could.
Nugent’s already in Texas…what more could we do.
Let them secede. He could be their President.
LOL. Stop teasing me.
I finally went over and checked out the blog… that is kind of sick to say the least. I can’t tell if they have a crush on, Dan… or if they despise him for some odd reason.
To say casey is the biggest turkey in Virgina is an insult to turkeys.
