Gun Nuts Land TWO on "Most Annnoying Conservative List"
A proud achievement for inbred fetish worshippers everywhere...


"#16...John Lott
It's been a bad year for John Lott. Between him impersonating his own student, and being found out; between the numerous accusations of ideologically-motivated academic dishonesty; between his opus More Guns Less Crime becoming so much pro-gun toilet paper under analytical expression, and his entire academic career in doubt; his utter misrepresentation of several news stories in pursuit of an "anti-gun bias"...
...he's still a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. I really can't add anything to this. Exactly how much academic dishonesty do you need to display to get kicked out of AEI? Do you have to cite Leisure Suit Larry as an expert on contraceptive use?

#5.....The NRA
A 19-page blacklist. A 19-page blacklist that encourages you to boycott the entire Zappa family. This is what the NRA is reduced to.
In quite possibly the single most anal-retentive move of the year, the NRA released a 19-page blacklist of anti-gun groups and celebrities, from Keyshawn Johnson to the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. What, exactly, anyone is supposed to do with this list besides not watch ESPN and not get brain cancer is a question best left to someone far smarter than me.
I think the good part about this is that a generation of shitty Saturday-morning celebrity cartoons has already been written. Vinny Testaverde and Doug Flutie team up to take on gun runners in...First To Fire! "

1. Hilarious ? Hardly......
Are those groups slanted ? perhaps,
but I doubt they are anymore slanted than the other side of the
coin, the Folks that want to ban Guns, I am new to all this,
but have been involved in Politics, and that is a dirty business,
Too many People have an agenda and use whatever they can to further
that agenda.
