(The Progressive) The 1970s-era rock star and longtime National Rifle Association board director Ted Nugent lit a firestorm last week when he made a series of anti-Semitic posts on his Facebook page. Nugent accused prominent Jewish Americans of promoting gun control as part of a plot to disarm citizens and impose Nazi-like tyranny across the United States.
In response to criticism of his posts Nugent wrote, what sort of racist prejudiced POS could possibly not know that Jews for gun control are nazis in disguise?
Nugent has sat on the NRA board for more than twenty years. Hes also very popular among the organizations leaders and members alike. Now, however, there is a movement from both outside and within the NRA demanding that Nugent finally be ousted.
But what casual observers of the gun lobby fail to realize is that the NRAs own bylawswithheld from the public, but obtained by The Progressivemake removing Nugent all but impossible anytime before 2017, and doubtful even after that. As I previously reported in Mother Jones, the National Rifle Associations governing board of directors are elected through a tightly controlled nominating process, one that even former NRA directors have compared to a Soviet-style Politburo. ................(more)

Hoyt
(54,770 posts)look like those three losers mingling around outside. Yeah, the gun industry is run by racists and panders to those type customers. Keep apologizing for these types, GG.

No other groups tend to do that. Comic Con, boat shows, etc.

At least if we go by results.
Which says a lot considering I think he is an absolute moron.

(22,457 posts)Find one post where i try to control guns! I will be waiting.
Your silly and clueless post about gun control groups had nothing to do with the fucking nugent post.
You just have to whine i guess.
Send me a PM, we can have a more detailed discussion.
hack89
(39,171 posts)then it is a fair question to ask why gun control groups are so inept that they get their asses kicked by him on a regular basis.
You have a funny definition of whining. Bemusement or even amusement better describe my emotions as I posted. I find it funny as hell that gun owners get Nugent pushed in our face constantly as if it has actual meaning.

what a surprise. The NRA is lucky the liberal media doesn't get ahold of this. they'd just run it almost as much as they did the Rev. Wright outbursts way back when.

(82,849 posts)Either the NRA is a racist organization and doesn't care who thinks that, or it's a victim of its own by-laws and isn't inclined to change them in which case, it's . . . still a racist organization, and the NRA doesn't care if everybody thinks that of them.
I was wrong. There is no choice in the matter. The NRA is a racist organization. If you belong to it, you endorse its racism.
