Ping to my buddy OK, who I had several conversations with about the NRA and the Coburn situation at that time, since we faced a similar situation in PA.
Conspicuous by their absence on this thread are certain of our own NRA apologists - well-intentioned, longtime Freepers and dedicated "shooters" by all accounts, but who have been reduced to name-calling and personal attacks within the last couple of weeks.
Right now my NRA renewal is sitting in my stack of stuff, and "I have no plans" to do anything with it, especially after the last scripted telemarketing call trying to persuade me to renew it. After the news of the last few days I'm thinking I'll donate to FR and make a contribution to Sharron Angle - and get a lifetime membership in GOA. As PKM points out, GOA became very popular around here after the NRA turned on Senator Coburn they way they did to favor a, uh, shall we say very "metro" young Democrat from the "Custom Engraved Weatherby OverUnder" crowd. Same thing they did in PA with Toomey and Snarlin' Arlen.
This is really really really bad timing on the NRA's part - not that they haven't been totally craven for several years now, but if they need to have the reality of "right now" explained to them they're either not in the game or they're playing the DC game.
Screw 'em. Somewhere around here there's a picture of Wayne and a couple of yokels sucking up to Reid at his new shooting range. A picture is indeed worth a thousand words.
Is Oklahoma Democrat congressman Dan Boren on the NRA Board of Directors or not?
======================
Are there any other known Dem operatives on the NRA board?
