UPDATE: The Denver Post's Lynn Bartels did, to her credit, extract a qualified apology from hirsute pro-gun recall organizer Nick Andrasik (see photo below), who says today he would "probably not" again use the "c-word" and other offensive language to describe Democratic legislators if given the choice. The "situation is different," says Andrasik, meaning exposure to a light source other than the fixture in his mother's basement.
As for confidence in the ability of the recalls Andrasik is in charge of to succeed, we're afraid the damage is done.

As the Colorado Springs Independent's Chet Hardin reported late yesterday:
The Basic Freedom Defense Fund was formed specifically to lead recall efforts of gun-control-minded Colorado Democrats, such Colorado Springs' Sen. John Morse and his Westminster-based colleague, Sen. Evie Hudak.
The spokesman for the grassroots organization is Nick Andrasik. And this seems to be the way Andrasik presents himself online, at least on ar15.com:
When we reached him by phone this afternoon, we described the above photo to Andrasik. Though he couldn't be certain that it was one of his photos without actually seeing it, he said it was "probably me." Further, the avatar that Andrasik uses on his ar15.com profile is the same image that shows up on his Facebook page.

(111,111 posts)1. And this lady was involved in recall of State Senator John Morse also.
She describes herself: Laura Carno is a political strategist based in El Paso County and the founder of I Am Created Equal. Learn more at www.iamcreatedequal.com.
She's another 501(c)4 that does a lot of political stuff, mostly with guns.
