Seriously, that's what MM says he was doing in this speech.

During his remarks, Nugent urged the crowd to open NRA Visa accounts, describing participation in the program as a way to "drive the enemy crazy" and in apparent reference to the Obama administration said if "you want to really kick them in the ass, get an NRA Visa card, where we have raised over $24 million dollars." He continued, "I just found out about them. But I got one. Do you got one?"

Are these people so blind they don't realize they're being fleeced? They're being told insane lies and encouraged to fear and to hate, all while the NRA, and the gun manufacturers by proxy, are making millions of dollars off their stupidity. How can they not see they're being played for fools?
