My goodness..Do you need smelling salts or a fan,dear?
He did say look like thugs. I would say that if this dude had over his 50 closest friends, and they safely and legally did some target practice with their licensed machine guns, there'd be nothing wrong with it--but the media would indeed have fun spinning them as "typical" conservatives, which they would portray as neo-nazi skinhead AK-toting rednecks. There can be PR implications.
But one guy with a shotgun is small potatoes. If he would just get a target, and shoot that, then he could bother the crap out of the protesters without giving the press much of a foothold to spin it. Shooting into the air, they can--and are--spinning as a direct threat.
Playing to the wider world beyond FR, how do you think gunshots near the President's ranch is going to play out? As stunts go, it doesn't seem too wise.
Hardly worth a kitty.
Funny, the Pali's are firing guns into the air all the time and the left seems to approve of it. I don't suppose they're dove hunting either.
LOL, this guy rocks.
Don't you know GWB got a kick out of this.
OK, I, Dawgreg, being a Texan by birth and a Texan at death, do certify that babyface00 is an honorary Texan with all the rights (braggin' and otherwise) afforded to native Texans. Welcome aboard! *~*
Playing to the wider world beyond FR?
Oh, prolly a hissy fit or two will be pitched; usual suspects will be "deeply concerned" - same old, same old.
For which, I do not care.
Thanks for the reply.
Us rural folks can only be pushed so far.
Well, it depends on which kind of doves he's talking about. There ARE war doves. I'm sure the irony isn't lost on the protesting doves. Or maybe it is. They do seem a senseless bunch.
Being a Texan is a good thing.
My dad, brother, nieces all live in Texas...but I got married to a man I haven't yet convinced to relocate there...
He must first say the Texas pledge/salute to be official:
"Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible."
Prayer service?????? To what god?
He said almost exactly that this AM --- said they were like family that smell after 5 days.
Heck, even Willie Nelson's brand of Texas demonRAT understands about shooting guns in the country.
Right off, you know that a Freeper with the name "Cambridge" is sitting at a Starbucks on the Charles River in Massachusetts, nervously concerned about the World thinks...about the USA, or Free Republic.
I second that motion.... all those opposed? =)
What is that? A Lahti?
