Rightwing cowards

It's interesting that certain far-right Web sites that post phone numbers of elected or appointed Massachusetts officials offer no way to call them up to discuss their posts.

Right coward Ted Nugent
This is a letter that I submitted to the Chicago Sun Times recently about the right coward Ted Nugent. Approximately 2 years ago he was asked by pseudo patriot country star Toby Keith to tour with his meeting bereaved family members who lost loved ones during the Iraq War. The country music stations did a good job covering up this one all the while attacking the Dixie Chicks for merely expressing their opinions. If you want more info on this I would gladly forward it to you.
Sincerely

Another picture of Ted Nugent posing with America's military heroes as if he's one of them [QT column, June 1]? Evidently he's since changed the crusty, urine-soaked pants that he wore to his draft board physical or the National Guardsmen would have been posing with their military-issued gas masks.
Nugent claims he's paid his dues for avoiding the Vietnam draft. How so? By playing his guitar and getting rich while over 58,000 men bled and died for his right to wave his guns around?
Lacking the courage that even conscientious objectors exhibited, he bragged to the Detroit Free Press in 1990 that, "30 days before his draft board physical, he stopped all forms of personal hygiene. The last 10 days he ingested nothing but Vienna Sausages and Pepsi; and a week before his draft board physical, he stopped using bathrooms altogether, virtually living inside pants caked with his own excrement stained by his own urine."
Nugent's flag-waving rhetoric won't change what he did. I'm sure the military men and women with whom he frequently poses are unaware of Nugent's cowardice. As a Vietnam veteran, I am not swayed by his pathetic justification for his hypocrisy.
Why do the country music stations continue to attack the Dixie Chicks and Jane Fonda while Nugent is idolized as a patriot? Jane Fonda and the Dixie Chicks have more guts and cleaner panties than this phony has-been.
