Ted Nugent Goes NUCLEAR On 'Numbnuts' Critics Who 'Hate Freedom' ~> 'Trayvon Got Justice' ~> Audio

Speaking with nationally syndicated radio show The Weekend on Saturday, rock musician and conservative provocateur Ted Nugent railed against his critics at the New Haven Register who called for a boycott of his upcoming Connecticut concert due to his controversial comments about the late Trayvon Martin. While applauding the acquittal of George Zimmerman of second-degree murder charges, Nugent has referred to the deceased 17-year-old Martin as a "dope-smoking, racist gangsta wannabe." The comments have generated outrage over what the Register saw as language on par with the rhetoric employed by the Klu Klux Klan.

On Saturday afternoon, Nugent pushed back on his "haters," asserting that "people who hate Ted Nugent hate freedom." He told radio host Joe Pagliarulo that "Trayvon got justice."

Bashing the "idiots" who dislike his comments on race, Nugent suggested they are all either "on LSD" or attempting to simulate the psychedelic drug's effects. "The people that hate me hate America," he declared.

"They obviously hate the First Amendment," he added before asserting that he will continue to speak out on his beliefs, with the added "bonus" that he will "drive sub-human numb-nuts batty."
