RedState P.O.'d at the NRA.....re Holder

[AnnInLa]

Too funny watching the whining far right RedState getting pissed at everyone on their side. Eat 8 years of it, losers.

Seems the NRA will not testify against Holder in his hearings, nor score/record the votes of the senators who vote for him, as being against the NRA agenda. Instead, the NRA will send out a letter opposing his confirmation. RedState speculates on why, oh why this is happening:

The NRA Grassroots Hotline is 1-800-392-8683. Remember, if they tell you they are opposed to Holder, ask if they are going to score a vote and testify. The answer is “no.” They’re just going to send a letter.

Sources inside the National Rifle Association tell me the NRA has succumbed to pressure from Democrats to not actively oppose Eric Holder.

Holder has strident, well known anti-second amendment positions. Nonetheless, because the NRA likes to play nice with Democrats, they are going to roll over for Barack Obama on the Holder nomination instead of fighting for, well, the second amendment — their reason for being.

Harry Reid and Pat Leahy both have good NRA ratings on the second amendment. They will support Eric Holder. The NRA does not want to hurt their scores. Therefore they’ll make noises in opposition to Holder, but they will not score a vote for Holder to impact legislators’ rankings.

Pitiful sellouts.

Meanwhile, Gun Owners of America will actively oppose Holder and score votes relating to him.

I’ve now received additional confirmation from the Senate. The NRA will not actively oppose Holder. The NRA will send out a letter in opposition to Holder, but will neither testify against Holder nor score legislators based on their votes for or against Holder.

1. I love those guys Jackie and Dunlap!

Oh, wait, it's not these guys!?

WTF!?

Hard to tell the reality from the satire these days, my bad.

2. Not good...

Methinks the NRA will probably find itself under new management within the next few years. The rank-and-file membership aren't going to like this one bit.
