BOO HOO HOO - NRA President: Barack Obama Is Threatening To Murder Me

David Keene, he of the “I’m totally into safe gun use but my kid is doing 10 years for a road rage incident that included handgun brandishing,” David Keene would like to tell you that guns don’t kill people, B. Barry Bamz kills people:



On a right-wing talk show on Thursday, David Keene, the president of the National Rifle Association, blamed President Obama and the left for what he says have been hundreds of death threats made against him and his family.

David Keene, you are one whiny ass titty baby. Notably, big baby bully Keene doesn’t elaborate on the “death threats.” Pro-tip: random people on the internet calling for your head on a pike or saying you should eat your own gun are not death threats. That’s called trolling. Get used to it.

First, the owner of a smoothie bar in Vernal is charging liberals more for a cup of juice. Now, a Cedar City business owner who let two workers go because of Obamacare costs said he picked the pair in large part because of their support for President Obama.

Terry Lee, owner of Terry Lee Forensics, showed his support for the Vernal smoothie bar’s practice of trying to recoup the costs it says are incurred because of liberal policies by posting in the comments section of a story about it in Thursday’s Salt Lake Tribune.

"Love it. We had to let two employees go to cover new Obongocarecosts and increased taxes," Lee wrote. "Found two Obongo supporters and gave them the news yesterday. They wanted the idiot in the Whitehouse [sic], they reap the benefits."


Contacted by The Tribune Thursday, Lee said he picked the two employees in large part on the basis of their politics.

Joe Biden: "As 1 Hunter Told Me-If You Got 12 Rounds, It Means You Already Missed The Deer 11 Times"

VP:

"As one hunter told me, if you got 12 rounds, it means you already missed the deer 11 times," he said to laughs. "You should pack the sucker in. You don't deserve a gun, period, if you're that bad."

Thoughts on Lance...

The Cyclist You Didn't Hear About This Week

Nicole Cooke deserves another medal for highlighting sexism in cycling
The Beijing Olympics road cycling champion has spoken out about the blatant discrimination in the sport, and brought to light some shocking facts



He's a criminal. He has stolen people's livelihoods. There must be thousands of clean athletes scrabbling around on the bottom end of the employment structure because that's all that's possible, and he's taken away their career... Of course, Lance Armstrong should go to jail. At the moment his punishment is not in line with the crimes he has committed. For the sport to genuinely clean itself up, the punishment has to be severe so not one would even think of doping.

How dare the president blame & demonize the NRA by pointing out that they are IGNORING Gun Owners

From the you-can't-make-this-crap-up files, David Keene, the president of the National Rifle Association (NRA), is blaming President Obama and "the left" for death threats against him and his family and:

What this reflects are two things. One is the uncivil way in which idealogues on the left in this country go after their enemies. The second thing it shows is the reflection of the left and the President of the United States’ attempt to demonize and blame those who disagree with them for everything that he doesn’t like.


This from the group who released an ad that targeted the president's daughters.
Oh, and about all that blaming and demonizing? Here's what Obama said about the NRA when he announced his proposals to curb gun violence:

OBAMA:
If you want to buy a gun -- whether it’s from a licensed dealer or a private seller -- you should at least have to show you are not a felon or somebody legally prohibited from buying one. This is common sense. And an overwhelming majority of Americans agree with us on the need for universal background checks -- including more than 70 percent of the National Rifle Association’s members, according to one survey. So there’s no reason we can’t do this.

Yes, how dare the president blame and demonize the NRA by pointing out they're ignoring the gun owners they claim to represent?

WTF?!? ‘Firearms instructor’ hired as school guard leaves handgun in student bathroom


Security guard leaves gun unattended in restroom at Lapeer charter school



Lapeer, MI -- A security officer at a Lapeer charter school left a firearm unattended in a school bathroom on Monday, Jan. 14, a school official said.

The security officer "made a breach in security protocol" and left an unloaded weapon in a restroom "for a few moments," said Chatfield School Director Matt Young.

Young said the school has been in contact with local authorities about the matter and wouldn't discuss any possible repercussion for the officer, calling it "a personnel matter." Young also declined to name the security officer.

"The school has put additional security procedures in place that follow local law enforcement practices and guidelines," Young said in a statement. "At no time was any student involved in this breach of protocol. We will continue to work on improving school security."

The best Dear Abby answer. Ever.

The best Dear Abby answer. Ever.
byFiddler On A Hot Tin Roof

Offered without further comment:

Dear Abby: Two men who claim to be father and adopted son just bought an old mansion across the street and fixed it up. We notice a very suspicious mixture of company coming and going at all hours — blacks, whites, Orientals, women who look like men and men who look like women. … This has always been considered one of the finest sections of San Francisco, and these weirdos are giving it a bad name. How can we improve the neighborhood? — Nob Hill Residents

Dear Residents: You could move.
