http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ted-nugent-defends-anti-semitic-message-gun-control-article-1.2525295 Right-wing rocker Ted Nugent defended his anti-Semitic post slamming prominent supporters of gun control, bizarrely claiming that anyone with sense knows that "Jews for gun control are Nazis in disguise."
In the original post on the Motor City Madman's Facebook page, the Nuge shared an image of prominent politicians like Michael Bloomberg, Sen. Charles Schumer and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emmanuel under the banner "So who is really behind gun control?" Each photo was accompanied by an Israeli flag.
TED NUGENT'S RECENT HISTORY OF OFFENSIVE REMARKS
The Daily News’ coverage of the post even prompted a backlash among people who normally support “Uncle Ted” — but the 67-year-old gun nut stood by the message.

Ted Nugent’s response to the Daily News.
“Just when you hope that mankind couldnt possibly get any dumber or more dishonest, superFreaks rise to the occasion," Nugent wrote in his new post Monday evening. "What sort of racist prejudiced (piece of sh--) could possibly not know that Jews for guncontrol are nazis in disguise? "NEVER AGAIN!" Anyone? Anyone?? (Are you fu--king kidding me?)”
The Nuge ranted that some of his best friends are Jewish.
“The NEVER AGAIN battlecry was universally embraced by all good people who will make sure another Holocaust never happens again. Freaks have plummeted to whole new low. Plummet on punks. Plummet on. Meanwhile I adjust my yamika at my barmitzva playing my kosher guitar. My dad killed nazis & saved Jews in WWII. Eat me,” he wrote.
One of Nugent’s supporters singled out The News.
“Nugent is correct, you guys at NYDaileynews are the propaganda spreading traitors and fools...” Cynthia Gallagher commented.
Nugent replied, “Bingo.”
Shira Goodman, the executive director of CeaseFirePA, dismissed Nugent's latest post. Her predecessor was among those singled out by the right-wing rocker.
“Our supporters across the board — regardless of race, religion, gender, ethnicity — recognize Nugent's anti-Semitic screed for the hateful bigotry it is. His post today equating those calling for stronger gun laws with Nazis sinks him lower into the pit of hatred and ignorance that is the sanctuary of extremists,” she said.
The politicians singled out in the image did not comment.
But Harvard Law School Prof. Alan Dershowitz — also in the photo array — said he was happy to be associated with the pols.
“I like the company this bigot puts me in. And I admire the flag he places me near,” he previously told The News.
