How else could you describe a gun owners group that only represents 5% of legal gun owners in America?
The NRA is working overtime to alienate themselves.
How else could you describe an organization that counts Ted Nugent, Wayne LaPierre, and Charlton Heston as their heroic leaders?
Regarding the NRA's new list of people that they would like their gun nut members to boycott
http://www.nraila.org/FactSheets.asp?FormMode=Detail&ID=15Geez, they're alienating themselves from just about everybody:
The AFL-CIO, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the AMA, the NEA, the US Catholic Conference, AARP, American Jewish Congress, Anti-Defamation League, League of Women Voters, National Association of Elementary School Principals, National Black Nurses Association, NOW, PAW, Southern Christian Leadership Conference, United Church of Christ, YWCA, 20/20 Vision
Is there anybody they haven't alienated?
NRA Hero, Wayne LaPierre said, "Our members don't want to buy 'their' songs, don't want to go to 'their' movies, don't want to support 'their' careers"
Dustin Hoffman? Gosh, I think his performance in "Death of a Salesman" was the single best acting performance I have ever seen.
Jerry Seinfeld? Best television show I have ever seen.
I guess the best just is not good enough for the NRA and their members.
It appears that the NRA is not interested in the natural abilities of anybody, they're just concerned with whether or not people support their right wing political agenda.
Maybe Hollywood should stage two Academy Awards presentations: The regular one, and then an additional one for pro NRA actors and actresses? Wouldn't it be wonderful if Arnold Schwartznegger, Tom Selleck, and Charlton Heston could annually duke it out for the best actor award?
Perhaps they could have categories such as, "Best film starring pro NRA actors" or "Best pro gun actor" or even "Best pro gun supporting actor"?
NRA members could also put the NY Times bestseller list 'on ignore' and start their own list. I would suggest, "The NY Times best seller list by pro NRA writers". Then all of their right wing heros such as Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, and Anne Coulter could occupy all of the top sales spots!
Hey, let's all just pretend that WE are the best, even if we have to invent a little world where only WE exist. We'll show them Democrats just how good we are!
Hey, maybe Casey Kasem could have an alternate AT40 episode for NRA members. It could be called, "Casey Kasem's American Top 40, by pro NRA musical groups".
And the Emmy's... Well, you know the rest.
Have fun in your little plastic bubble NRA. You deserve nothing less than your own perfect world.
