Classy NRA Eventually Bans Target of Obama Bleeding at its Convention, but it was sold for two days

[TexasTowelie]

The National Rifle Association eventually asked a vendor at its convention in Houston, Texas to remove a target which resembles Obama from its booth, and the target bleeds. But, the vendor sold its Obama-hating target for two days.

“Zombie Industries, sells a range of three-dimensional “life sized” targets that “bleed when you shoot them.” The Obama likeness has been on display for two days, but was notably absent on Sunday”, Buzzfeed reports.

When asked if the Obama likeness was intentional the worker said, “Let’s just say I gave my Republican father one for Christmas.”

“They are just scared some liberal reporter will come by and start bitching” another booth worker said to men gathered around the booth. “But ya know, he does look very familiar.”

4. He's green!!

I read about this, it made me feel a little better that the target is green. I personally would not see the resemblance if someone had not pointed it out.
BUT, if this target is being used because it resemble Obama, then that is sick.

I think the female mannequin is sicker. It looks like a real person.

This is sick:

5. I read in the buzzfeed article that the original version was brown

and that they called it "Barocky". For some reason, I don't think that the green was intended to link him with the Incredible Hulk.

6. You're right:

The mealymouthed virtual-assassination apologizers are trying to obscure the truth again. The truth is that this “Rocky” zombie was originally called “Barocky” and had dark brown skin rather than green. There was even a video on the companies youtube channel confirming exactly these facts. They deleted it but a google search still exposes the truth. It's pathetic when you are apologizing for something so disgusting even the NRA doesn't want anything to do with it.

Sick, I tell you.
