The Secret Service is looking into comments made this weekend by extreme right-winger Ted Nugent.
During a gathering sponsored by the National Rife Association, the rocker - referring to the upcoming election - urged members of the organization help "chop their heads off in November" and added:
"I'll tell you this right now: If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year. We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November. Any questions?"
Referring to the current administration as "criminals," Nugent appeared to directly threaten Obama - which is a crime - by ranting:
"If the coyote's in your living room, pissing on your couch, it's not the coyote's fault. It's your fault for not shooting him."
Responded Andrea Saul, a spokeswoman for Mitt Romney, the candidate Nugent is backing: "Divisive language is offensive no matter what side of the political aisle it comes from. Mitt Romney believes everyone needs to be civil."
