And like Tricky Dick it is rather top-heavy with Jewish groups and African-Americans. Among the hundreds of groups and individuals named are the AARP, American Academy of Pediatrics, the Anti-Defamation League, Black Mental Health Alliance, B`nai B`rith, the Central Conference of American Rabbis. And that just takes us into the Cs.
Oh, and Tara Lipinski, Olympic Gold Medal winning figure skater; Barry Mannilow and of course, The Temptations.
Yeah, this is an organization whose leadership is taken seriously.
Seriously.

Outrage. So many, so many good men and women failed to make the list, including our proprietor, late late night beertender, and early early morning barrista, Dr. Atta J. Turk, Podiatrist To The Stars.
Somebody oughta sue for a recount.
What gets me these days, is how tolerated open bigotry, racism and stereotyping has become, (again). And it’s not just in the MSM…
Face it: we’re all stinging because we weren’t on it.

For a mere $35, the NRA already offers membership premiums like:
•Official NRA members-only Shooter’s cap
•Your choice of monthly NRA magazines
•Membership card and decal
•Insurance for you and your guns
•Invitations to “Friends of NRA” dinners, other special events and more…
If they could offer an honorary mention on their Enemies List, I just might spring for it. They could keep the other premiums, too.
Good morning, pups. Today we’ve got Keller and Krugman. Mr. Keller has the answer… In “Selling Amnesty” he tells us all how to get real immigration reform past a right-wing blockade. (And his opening assumption is just precious…) In “Friends of Fraud” Prof. Krugman states the glaringly obvious: Republicans are fighting to make America safe for financial abuse.
Here they are, and
here’s Krugman’s blog.
The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and the biscuits are out of the oven. That enemies list is REALLY special. Who would ever have thought that Hallmark Cards would “have lent their corporate support to gun control initiatives or taken position supporting gun control?” I’ve been expecting their line of “BANG, Whoops, So Sorry” cards to come out… And they haven’t updated lately, because Dead Ed Koch is still on the list, as a “former politician.” Oddly enough, however, Michael Bloomberg isn’t… Maybe because he’d make a fuss and call people’s attention to the list, after which hilarity would ensue. Thanks for making my morning, Attaturk! Have a great day.
I understand they are still in negotiations with Darth Cheney to use his likeness.
And that would give rise to the rival card line from American Greetings featuring his hunting buddy — the “Bang Bang, You Shot Me Down” line. (Yep, I’m old enough to remember that song…)
Sure! That’s what the negotiations are all about. Using them both on the same card:
“Give a Whit(tington)! Don’t Dick around with guns!”
Gotta get going.
Nobody from FDL made the NRA’s list. Folks, we’re slacking!
Boxturtle (My first thought on reading the list: If a guest list, it would be a heck of a party!)
I think i disagree with his opening assumption. I think far too many Dem politicians see this as simply political advantage rather than the right thing to do.
But I will accept the right decision for the wrong reason from the government. It’s better than nothing.
Boxturtle (I also agree that the GOP is going to try to pass only the punitive stuff)
thanks, attaturk, this is like Newt’s Business Leaders list, you need to pay to be on it, and he sends you the plaque for the wall?
I want a gross. Lots of walls.
Thanks, Marion, and Keller is about getting the Hispanic votes, which the wingnuts know is not going to happen… if they give them the vote. The Hispanic vote is sane for the most part, and even our teabaggage knows that much. Not going to let it happen.
Interesting about Jews and African-Americans, attaturk. I’ve generally felt that the NRA is a meet market for people interested in a fascist takeover, whatever else it may be. Your post does nothing to allay the suspicion.
Taking back America is all about Northern European domination, it’s not just teabaggage theme, it’s survivalist too.
National Radicals Association with their own Jimmy Hoffaesque goon pushing we are all Mad Max now. Mob mind rules.
Someone needs to start a movement to get rid of Wayne LaPierre as head of the NRA. If he is busy fighting for his power, than he will have little left to fight for gun violence.
