415. Among other things he is certainly a jerk seeking attention:
>"He hunts with a bow and says a Native American prayer of thanks over each deer he harvests. Some of his articles are more like a new form of poetry. He is an artist. When talking, he doesn't worry about how he expresses himself or being PC. He just lets it flow."<

I find the humble and solemn hunter bit hard to believe.
Currently, he is sticking his nose in a controversy regarding deer hunting and heard thinning near Chicago(where I live). While I find his on-air statements about how he is going to, quote:"rack em and stack em, kill em and grill em" funny and a nice poke at the stuffy suburbanites, it makes it a stretch to believe that he is this "spiritual hunter dude". I can't imagine the Native American hunter gleefully taunting people and rubbing his views in their faces.

Regarding the other inflammatory statements, He kind of reminds me of a Lindon LaRouche or a Farrakhan. You know the drill. Say something completely crazy and inflammatory like "Hitler was a great man" or "the Queen of England is a drug dealer" and then back it up with some version of twisted logic to justify the statements.

Like you said, I don't know his mind or know if he truly is racist but if it walks like a duck......

Anyway, I DID enjoy your spirited debate with MrBenchley.

Peace. :-)

BTW. I AM a gun owner. I even keep a handgun in the house in violation of a very strict local ordinance. Being a gay man, I sometimes think I should stock up on a couple AR-15s and a couple thousand rounds of ammunition. It really does cross my mind sometimes with all the shit going on in this country.

I don't believe guns should be outlawed but we have a real problem with guns being imported to Chicago for the gang bangers. A Chicago Policeman friend of the family was shot and killed a couple years ago by a handgun imported from a suburban gun store. The store was acting as an arms dealer to the gangs by selling to a couple "straw men" with clean records. It just doesn't make sense that someone should be able to purchase 20 handguns in the period of a year and not be questioned about what war he is intending to start. The store was eventually shut down after a bunch of guns used in crimes were traced back to the store. Unfortunately, the damage is done and the guns are in the hands of the gangs.
