Speaking of the "gun culture", Chris Kyle's "American Gun" A History of the U.S. in Ten Firearms, came out today. Get it while you can!

The two (non-white?) pixies who wrote this article may want to save their 20 bucks (Walmart) for use in some gay bathhouse.

"Viscous portayals of the President..."

How slimey!

[BatGuano]

My suggestion is that targets for next year’s convention look like Leonard and Devin. What pure, unadulterated bullshit they spew. That could be caused to ooze from the bullet holes.

This article is the warped viewpoint of the extreme left. A pox on them both and their readers.

Thanks for showing what the enemy is writing!

(Portrayals). These little phone keyboards are tough....

Similarly, the NRA claims they currently have over four million members. A closer analysis by the Violence Policy Center puts the actual number of members at about three million.

It's roughly 4.5 million, and anyone who views the VPC as a credible source is smoking crack. BTT

Fascinating and appalling and nothing new.

I’ve been reading this angry-racists-with-guns garbage since the JFK assassination.

So when are these brave academaniacs going to invade a Cabela’s and start overturning display stands?

“Not bloody lkely, mate.”

[elcid1970]

That’s “LIKELY”!!!

Geez.....

Glenn Beck, the television conspiracy and bigotry monger and Tea Party promoter, drenched his culture war rhetoric in the bloody rag of the Alamo.

- No bias here. /s

A man size target resembling President Barack Obama allowed attendees to shoot at the president and make him bleed—until the last day when media exposure forced its removal.

- Any truth to that at all? Or are the authors confused by all the Bush cutouts they abused at their conventions?

... and TheTeaParty.net all worked against the passage of gun safety legislation.

- Is that what they call it now? I'd like to assure him that we "on the right" are very much for gun safety, i.e. the proper and responsible handling and care of all kinds of firearms.
Oh, by gun safety they mean NO GUNS? Ah, that's where we differ.

[Lowell1775]

I screwed up.

I visited the article site to check out this bastion of social analickers....I mean social analytics.....I was number 90 according to the visitor counter.

Undoubtedly a new record.

I am sure they have frog footed out to buy another case of self warming lubricant for a full staff celebration.

You really think event organizers would tolerate any target resembling any identifiable person, much less a political figure? The only permissible targets depict generic white males.

“The result is not pretty.”

What’s he talking about?

It Looks good from here!

How else are we going to restore the Constitution and this once great nation?

[BitWielder1]

I don't believe NRA would do something that blatant, I do believe a left nut could easily make it up and not even feel bad about it.
But I wasn't there. I was hoping someone who attended in person would confirm or deny.
If the allegation was true, I would have expected a huge uproar, not just this one mention.

I heard the NRA now has 5 million members.

[Billthedrill]

Could well be by now. I know it was pushing 5 mil last year but 4.5 is the last firm data I have in hand...and it’s old... :-(

“What’s he talking about?”

Dissent. It’s only for Communists, of course. Even Communists cannot criticize Communism; however they are permitted to say and do anything they want against free markets and individual liberty/s;)

[Frank_2001]

IMO it is a digitally altered image, combined with Communist lies. Have you seen the photos of Stalin with the disappearing Party functionaries?;)

Is this an example of what Rush is referring to when he talks about ‘Two guys and a fax machine’?

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :

  Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
     Hysteric.] (Med.)
     A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
     in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
     exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
     so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
     the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
     paroxism or fits.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
           the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
           and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
           throat. The affection presents the most varied
           symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
           diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
           alone. Hysteric
