He's just some stupid unknown kid (who appears to be on Ecstasy)...... who sent in a self-shot video to youtube!

Whereas Wayne LaPierre is the CEO of the NRA and Ted Nugent is an elected "celebrity" spokesman for the organization.

So my question....... what's the point of your comparison?

and made it public. Isn't it the same as saying some stoned prepper is typical of gun owners?

but it sounds like you are smearing Democrats like Ted Strickland and Brian Schweitzer by calling them them RWNJ.

If you sober him up and give him a British accent, he does sound like Piers Morgan.

Bullseye, Secular! His motives are pretty easy to see through, eh?

Spokespeople are the public face of the cause.

For me it's Feinstein and Cuomo.... ironically the zealots on either side are quite satisfied with this current cadre of spokespeople.


An objective review and you see how all 4 impede progress for their chosen side.

johnston: Isn't it the same as saying some stoned prepper is typical of gun owners?

.. ted nugent is NOT typical of gun owners, just the rightwing fringe.

My vote for 'worst gun control advocate' is, a tie:
1. NRA's Wayno LaPropagandierre &
2. NRA's Ted Nugent.

The worst gun rights advocates, as well as the worst guncontrol advocates - they both fit the bill with their two faced attitudes.
Will my votes be dismissed? will I be disenfranchised?
I have photo ID if you want it.

kind of like COINTEL very light.
You might actually be right.
Of course not, we even have old school paper ballots counted by humans with all party reps checking and televised on C SPAN.
