I'm willing to be gun manufacturers don't respect him either. He's merely a means-to-an-end
Kind of a useful idiot

9. There's a GOP representative who said students should be paddled and watch Andy Griffith.

Clearly he's not seen the show.

11. Which one?

I'd like to send him the link.
Even if others already have, you can never have too much Andy

12. My mistake. It was former South Carolina Lt. Gov. Andrew Bauer (R-Asshole)

Former South Carolina Lt. Gov. Andrew Bauer (R) on Sunday suggested that more students are committing mass shootings because they no longer receive paddlings from teachers or watch The Andy Griffith Show.

During a panel segment on CNN, Bauer explained that he did not expect Republicans to take action against guns after the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

“We have a culture thing here that we’re not discussing,” Bauer insisted, shifting the topic away from gun control and the National Rifle Association (NRA). “When I grew up it was Andy Griffith. You never had school shootings and we still had prayer in school and we drove to school with guns in the car.”

"When I was in school, the principal had a paddle. It was called the Board of Education and he used it on all the students." (Even the girls? That must have really gotten him off.)

Usually I can trust my memory -- and I couldn't find the article on Google for the first post -- but I changed the search terms to "asshole says something stupid about students, paddle and Andy Griffith" and it popped up as the top item on the page.
