Protesters Target Hotels Offering Discounts to NRA Members

A global activist group is targeting two large hotel chains because they give discounts to members of the National Rifle Association.

The organization is putting pressure on the hotel chains to force them to disassociate from the gun-rights group after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.

The group, Avaaz, described as a "a global campaign network of 17 million people" is pressuring "Wyndham Hotels Worldwide – which owns Ramada, Days Inn, Wingate and Super 8 – and Best Western" because both organizations are listed as "friends of the NRA" on the NRA's website.

Joseph Huff-Hannon, a senior campaigner at Avaaz, said the hotels needed to "get out of bed with the extremist NRA," and "Newtown must mark the end of the group's stranglehold on our politics."

Avaaz has organized a petition that has "at least 66,000" signatures, and some of Avaaz's members have written that the hotel chains should "get out of bed," parroting Huff-Hannon's comments on the offical Facebook pages of the Wyndham Hotels and Best Western...

democrats hurting business. nothing new about that.

[Impala64ssa]

They're TARGETING these businesses and none of the PC not-sees realize the irony of it all?

[G Larry]

Well, if we focus a bit of our support, we ought to be able to send the whiners a message.

There’s about 100 of us willing to defend our liberties, for every 1 of the cry babies.

Never bring a roomkey to a gunfight

[Still Thinking]

Stranglehold? The NRA is usually pretty meek, AFAIC.

Another leftist propagandist and anti-American sleazeball.

“Joseph Huff-Hannon”

Must be his married name.

Must be his married name.

I'd guess same sex marriage.

I read crap like this and find myself wondering how many of these nitwits paid to see, bought, or rented, The Patriot or Braveheart. How many cheered Michael Corleone when he offed the dirty cop? How many will pay to see jamie foxx kill a bunch of white people?

[dsutah]

The really funny thing is- is that there are at least two Democrats, liberal ones, who are known to be members of the NRA, ex-Governor Howard Dean and Sen. Harry Reid!I’m surprised that they are not chewing on them!

[MaxMax]

Bah, soft targets. They should be kicking in pawn shop doors at night if
they think their gull is serious enough.

From Hotair--Update: MRC TV has a clip from 1995 in which Reid’s Senate colleague Dianne Feinstein explains why she felt safer with a gun, too:

This ought to go over about as well as a boycott of, say, Chik-fil-A! I know where I’ll be staying next time I travel!

Effin’ Nazis think that they’re going to disarm the public. Ain’t going to happen in this country.

[trebb]

And if they show up at a hotel to protest, the manager can smile and say, “Come on in and make your point. Just remember that many of the customers you see are armed, so please behave.”

[Quickgun]

I’m betting the “network” has 17 people, and over 66 signatures....
