Although many networks continue to pretend that people on both sides of the political aisle are equally nasty toward each other in the name of patronization balance, leave it to the National Rifle Association to blow such silly folklore to smithereens. This week, the Rev. Al Sharpton (pictured) took shots at what he dubbed “The Right-Wing Horror Picture Show” on MSNBC’s “Politics Nation.” The segment focused on Buzzfeed’s report about the NRA asking a vendor at its convention to remove a life-size zombie target, which bleeds when shot and resembles President Barack Obama (pictured below).
Watch Rev. Al Shrapton’s crticism below:
Isn’t he a charmer?
Meanwhile, Porter is none too fond of President Obama, once bashing him as the “fake president.” He’s also claimed, “His [the President’s] entire administration is anti-gun, anti-freedom, anti-second amendment.” Well, that sure beats sounding like a paranoid idiot.
If that’s not enough, Buzzfeed notes that while the zombie has been removed from the convention, “There is an Obama vampire with a stake in his heart that can be seen at the Conan Inc. booth. There is also a familiar likeness at the OPSGEAR booth.“
Mind you, these are the very people whining that President Obama is the one dividing the country.
I’m sure some critics would argue that there have been despicable depictions of former President George W. Bush too.
Fair enough, and I might I add, it’s all wrong.
However, the extent to which these cashew and almond mix for brains lunatics loathe President Obama is far, far worse. To them, Obama is a Muslim Monday through Tuesday, a Marxist on Wednesday, an evil dictator on Thursday, and because liberals purportedly want it all, he’s all of the above plus a fascist on the weekend. And apparently on top of that, he’s not even a legitimate president. You know, given he was born in a Kenya to Satan’s mistress.
There may be crazy on both sides, but it’s pretty apparent the gun-clutching, sex-hating, Jesus-jocking fringe of the right have the higher quotient. And who could blame them when they’re enabled by groups like the NRA.
The proof is in the zombies and the vampires.
