Vendor Pulls ‘Obama’ Target From Booth At NRA Convention [View all]
http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/vendor-pulls-obama-target-from-booth-at-nra?ref=fpbAt its convention in Houston, over the weekend, the National Rifle Association asked a vendor to take down a mannequin target that looked like President Barack Obama, Buzzfeed reported on Sunday.
*****
"Someone from the NRA came by and asked us to remove it" a Zombie Industries booth worker told BuzzFeed, referring to the company's "Bleeding Rocky Zombie" target. "They thought it looked too much like President Obama."
Buzzfeed asked the worker if the resemblance was intentional.
"Let's just say I gave my Republican father one for Christmas," the worker replied.
