National Rifle Association board member and Outdoor Channel spokesman Ted Nugent called President Obama a “subhuman mongrel” and argued that he and other liberal politicians should be punished for treason. 

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines mongrel as “a dog with parents of different breeds.”

Nugent made the comment during a January 17 interview with Guns.com at the 2014 Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show (SHOT Show), an annual gun industry trade show that draws 60,000 firearms industry professionals. Nugent was representing the Outdoor Channel, which airs his hunting show Ted Nugent Spirit of the Wild. Nugent and Outdoor Channel recently announced a multi-year endorsement deal where Nugent will make “talent appearances on the network's behalf at top consumer and industry trade events.” In announcing the deal, Outdoor Channel's CEO said that Nugent “symbolizes everything that is right in our industry.”

In addition to describing “Barack Hussein Obama” as a “gangster,” Nugent said the president and other liberals should be jailed and face “the just due punishment that their treasonous acts are clearly apparent”:

NUGENT: I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame enough Americans to be ever vigilant not to let a Chicago communist raised communist educated communist nurtured subhuman mongrel like the ACORN community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America. I am heartbroken but I am not giving up. I think America will be America again when Barack Obama, [Attorney General] Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, [Sen.] Dick Durbin, [former New York City Mayor] Michael Bloomberg and all of the liberal Democrats are in jail facing the just due punishment that their treasonous acts are clearly apparent.

So a lot of people would call that inflammatory speech. Well I would call it inflammatory speech when it's your job to protect Americans and you look into the television camera and say what difference does it make that I failed in my job to provide security and we have four dead Americans. What difference does that make? Not to a chimpanzee or Hillary Clinton, I guess it doesn't matter.

Nugent also made a sexist remark about Hillary Clinton, claiming, “Our politicians check their scrotum in at the door. Even Hillary, but obviously she has spare scrotums.”

Just last week, Nugent compared a Jewish film producer to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels and wrote that African-Americans must “admit to the self-inflicted destructo-derby they are waging” in order to honestly celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, evidencing his long history of inflammatory commentary on race and other topics.

Outdoor Channel did not respond to a request for comment.
