NRA board member Ted Nugent responds to anti-fraud lawsuit: Im Schindler but I got a whole bunch of more Jews that Im saving
Nugent and Alex Jones team up to give away 100 NRA memberships
TED NUGENT (NRA BOARD MEMBER): I believe that the attacks on the NRA are the attacks on freedom by freedom-haters and we all see and know who they are. Right now is the time to give away NRA memberships to everybody you know because if it drives the freedom haters that batty, lets make them go crazy by getting more NRA--
ALEX JONES (HOST): And how do I do that? I am gonna buy 100 memberships today. I pledge 100 memberships today. How do I call? Do I call? How does the NRA do that?
NUGENT: Ill tell you what, go to my website. There is a direct link to Join the NRA and a discount. Go to TedNugent.com and there's NRA memberships and remember, the NRA is a civil rights organization. Its about your right to self-defense. How more pure can you get?
JONES: And its 140 years old. And I know how nonprofits work, this is one of the beautifulest, best ones ever. If somebody in there did wrong, we were talking during the break, which youre not saying they did, theres no evidence of that, then they step down. You dont get rid of the organization. She let everybody know, Im going to abolish it because Im going to take care of the members. Thats like saying Im going to burn your house down because grandpa ate too many cupcakes.

NUGENT: We know this New York attorney general hates gun owners--
JONES: I was about to say, how can you have Hitler investigate, say, Jews?
NUGENT: Its unbelievable. You know why they hate me, because Im Schindler but I got a whole bunch of more Jews that Im saving and the Nazis hate me for that.

(10,828 posts)labeling himself a community activist with a straight face, anything is possible. Guess we're suppose too forget all that white nationalist/KKK stuff. So in this climate of hyperbole and lunacy, Nugent = Schindler doesn't even raise an eyebrow in the Alex Jones' corner of the world.
The air is thick with belief and devotion in Trumplandia. The Koolaid punchbowl is right around the corner. They're ladling the secret sauce out as we speak.

(35,438 posts)heed to their worldview, "haters"? Or "haters of freedom" all the while ignoring the real facts on the ground. LaPierre ripped off NRA members, but no mention of that.

(16,254 posts)I swear I heard AG James say that there were board members that were also involved. She expanded on what she read off on the first 4, yesterday, but it took me off guard when I heard it that I don't remember all the rest of the violations she listed.
There is supposed to be a printout available that can be read. I would assume it has been posted by now, but I've been gone most of the day. Should be an interesting read.
