National Rifle Association Bans Bleeding “Obama” Target, Others Remain [View all]

Sick, traitorous bastards--the whole stinking lot of them.

http://www.buzzfeed.com/bennyjohnson/national-rifle-association-bans-bleeding-obama-target-others

The company, 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.
"Someone from the NRA came by and asked us to remove it" a Zombie Industries booth worker told BuzzFeed in hushed tones. "They thought it looked too much like President Obama."
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."


"I'm the NRA, and I vote."--Timothy McVeigh.
