WATCH: Rick Perry obliterates targets in NRA convention video

[TexasTowelie]

Texas Governor Rick Perry (R) really likes guns. He made that clear during his brief run at the Republican presidential nomination, and again in the wake of the Newton, Conn., shooting when he accused the "political left" of trying to politicize the tragedy.

But in case there was any doubt, Perry has made that point even more clear with this explosive video that prefaced his speech Friday to the NRA's annual gathering in Houston, Texas. In the video, Perry blows away a row of stationary targets with a semi-automatic assault rifle and then, a chugging guitar riff blaring behind him, strikes an action hero-like pose for the camera.

As the video ended, Perry took the stage, shouting, "Welcome to Texas, ladies and gentlemen."

1. What a fucking statesman

Your move, Churchill!

2. What would you expect from someone like this? >>

[mbperrin]

3. Maybe someone like this?

Pretty broad brush for someone named El Supremo to be wielding, no? Can't Perry just be a stupid person who was not helped by his college experience?

Thousands and thousands of Aggies have served in the Corps and gone on to greater things. Check wikipedia.

4. Oh! An Aggie fan who likes adulterers!

Now just where is George H. W. Bush's library?

6. Oh, I see. You're a person who is perfect, and for whom no sin can be made up

by a lifetime of service.

Have a nice evening, and be sure to yell upstairs to your mom good night before you go to bed.

7. If I lived in the state of the Koch brothers

or the home of Focus on the Family, either one, I doubt I'd be criticizing others for anything. Or maybe you really meant "Coloradio" after all, in which case, I withdraw Focus on the Family.

12. That's like making fun of

Five year olds for playing dress-up. It's part of college culture, just like wearing long hair and large-flowered shirts was part of a cultural movement.

It's his senior boots uniform at college. I have liberal friends that wore the same outfit their senior year there.

Nit-pick and judge away.

5. I noticed that those aren't sillouettes

of animals that he's shooting at.

8. I couldn't bring myself to watch it

That's how much contempt I have for him.

Although I did enjoy watching his "oops" moment.

ETA: I also cannot bring myself to watch Fox News. So, I'm pretty much a equal opportunity right-wing-a-phobic.

10. It's only 42 seconds and

I think you'll get a kick out of Governor Prick and his big cajones.

[LeftInTX]

11. I put my hand over his face while I watched a gun shoot stuff

I pretended the guy with the gun was Al Pacino aka Scarface.

[TxDemChem]

9. He's such an ass

Rick Perry, retire already! You're already getting paid for it.

[white cloud]

13. Kick Perry all you want to today

but Sunday is Pedo Nogut day (Youth Day)

[Paladin]

14. Perry just keeps coming up with new ways to humiliate my beloved state. (nt)
