Nugent appearance at State of the Union a potential distraction for GOP Published 4:00 p.m. ET -- Here's this year's version of "You lie." Ted Nugent, the ex-rocker and current gun-rights advocate, will be in attendance at Tuesday's State of the Union as the guest of Texas Congressman Steve Stockman. Stockman has said he would consider filing articles of impeachment about President Barack Obama for his gun-control push following the shootings in Newtown, Conn. Nugent is a board member of the National Rifle Association. Many Democrats have invited victims of gun violence to the address. Stockman will also be livetweeting the address - with the hash tag #youlie, "debunking myths and fact checking," his office said. "I am excited to have a patriot like Ted Nugent joining me in the House Chamber to hear from President Obama," said Stockman in a press release of the man who was under Secret Service investigation last year for comments made about the president. After the Address I'm sure Ted will have plenty to say. Kevin Tighe / Getty Images Contributor Ted Nugent performs at Ruth Eckerd Hall on August 6, 2012 in Tampa, Fla. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who is bilingual has been at the center of a Senate push on immigration reform, is delivering the official GOP State of the Union response. But Nugent's appearance, and the promise that he "will have plenty to say," has the potential to distract and be a headache for a Republican Party looking to re-brand itself, particularly in tone, after President Obama won re-election this past fall. More on Ted Nugent from NBCNews.com Nugent landed in hot water with the agency in charge of protecting the president, because he said in April of last year at a national NRA meeting that if Obama was re-elected, "I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year." In the same set of comments, Nugent called the president, Vice President Joe Biden, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "criminals," said the "government is wiping its ass with the constitution," and equated Democrats to coyotes who should be shot. "If the coyote's in your living room pissing on your couch," Nugent said, "it's not the coyote's fault. It's your fault for not shooting him. Stockman is also set to unveil what he's calling, "The Obama Failometer, a ten-foot-long billboard that will objectively measure the failure of Obama's economic policies ... The ten-foot-long Obama Failometer billboard will be displayed in the corridor of the Capitol's Cannon House Office building at Stockman's 326 Cannon Office." Stockman, who previously served one term in Congress in 1995-1996, is back for the first time since.
