The NRA called my brother-in-law the other day.... [View All]

[Ohio Dem]

He's a big time hunter and fisherman. He always has been. He's a gun guy, and a tournament winning fisherman. He was West Virginia's state champion amateur archer at one point, although he lives in Ohio. At least, that's the way I remember it - I was young when he was into archery. The point is, though, he's a "sportsman." The NRA's type of guy, often.

So they called him, wanting him to join, and by the way, a contribution of $70. He asked the caller if the NRA was endorsing one of the presidential candidates this time 'round, and of course they told him Bush/Cheney.

His reply, to the best of my sister's memory: "I wouldn't give those motherfuckers a penny! You bunch of cocksuckers can kiss my fucking ass if you're for that son-of-a-bitch!"

Not bad, from a sportsman. He's their base, and he now hates them more than ever. I believe he used to be a member, when it was mostly about gun safety. When they turned into a G.O.P. tool, they lost my BIL.
