Belonging to the NRA should be a TOS violation. The NRA is a group of rightwing thugs with a few poodles in the Democratic party on a leash.
[The Obama campaign] will say gun owners theyll say they left them alone, LaPierre told an audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Friday. In public, hell remind us that hes put off calls from his party to renew the Clinton [assault weapons] ban, he hasnt pushed for new gun control laws
The president will offer the Second Amendment lip service and hit the campaign trail saying hes actually been good for the Second Amendment.
But its a big fat stinking lie! the NRA leader exclaimed. Its all part of a massive Obama conspiracy to deceive voters and destroy the Second Amendment in our country.
Obama himself is no fool. So when he got elected, they concocted a scheme to stay away from the gun issue, lull gun owners to sleep and play us for fools in 2012. Well, gun owners are not fools and we are not fooled, La Pierre declared.
Sotomayor, Kagan, Fast & Furious, the United Nations, executive orders. Those are the facts we face today President Obama and his cohorts, yeah, theyre going to deny their conspiracy to fool gun owners. Some in the liberal media, they are already probably blogging about it. But we dont care because the lying, conniving Obama crowd can kiss our Constitution!

Keene reveals that the NRA plans to mobilize its troops with the hopes of taking away three to five states Obama won in 2008. Keene and Wayne LaPierre, the gun group's executive vice president, plan a massive education campaign that he says will warn members about an Obama second term. He also says the NRA is seeking to register the up to 25 million gun owners not signed up to vote. He figures getting 5 million to 10 million to the polls would change the election's outcome. "We know how they'll vote," he says.

He IS the NRA and the gun fans nationwide. The poster person. It is Jim Porter. He is all of them.

If facts supported your position, you wouldn't have to resort to name calling as a diversion.

If you have to engage in name calling, and McCarthy did that, you've lost.

But, there are millions of free-riders (too cheap to pay dues?) who benefit from NRA gun propaganda.

Who cares how they started. It's like saying Lincoln freed the slaves, so Republicans aren't racists

RW extremists use that sort of info to con normal people to believe that they're really not so bad.

When it's intended to paint a false image of a current RW extremist group? Yes, very definitely.
