This is one of the guys calling the shots at the nra? Rather than usher this rightwing cretin out the door the NRA points to Ted Nugent with pride. Contrast with Paula Deen who evidently used n-word, admitted to but says not maliciously & is remorseful, & was fired by a couple backers..
Hmmm, this post could get hidden as too harsh. Don't blame the messenger please.
