Frankly, I think it's a little ridiculous slamming the guy as hard as some here do. You might argue a bit about the manner of his presentation, but, the message is pretty solid.
Just like some of us find it ridiculous that there are so many hunters out there who think Nugent is a GOOD spokesman for hunting. From the various opinions here, he is obviously a polarizing figure amongst hunters, so for the life of me I can't see how non-hunters might take his message seriously. If a good many of us hunters are suspect of him, I am sure the general public is even more so, which to me does not make a good spokesman.
