 :Calling a black man a chimp is about as obvious a racist insult as there is.  See “Assassinate the Nigger Ape[]”  Obama, Implicit

"Subhuman mongrel" strikes me as equally racist, but there is less obvious scholarship behind this one. There is an article in Politifact in which they interview a number of historians on the use of mongrel and subhuman as part of Nazi genocidal propaganda, in reference to Wolf Blitzer's comments.  A couple of the quotes that they come up with from Nazi propaganda are: 

 ::"Regrettably, there are still many people today who say: Even the Jews are creatures of God. Therefore you must respect them. But we say: Vermin are animals too, but we exterminate them just the same. The Jew is a mongrel. He has hereditary tendencies from Aryans, Asiatics, Negroes, and from the Mongolians. Evil always preponderates in the case of a mongrel." 

 ::"As long as there have been men on the Earth, the struggle between man and the subhuman will be the historic rule; the Jewish-led struggle against the mankind, as far back as we can look, is part of the natural course of life on our planet. One can be convinced with full certainty that this struggle for life and death is just as much a law of nature as is the struggle of an infection to corrupt a healthy body."

 ::I am not saying that Nugent is trying to recreate Nazi rhetoric, but the territory in which he is moving is deeply disturbing, and when it shows up from someone who does engage in the obviously racist black man/chimpanzee comments,  I am very comfortable describing Nugent as making racist comments.    06:02, 22
