Then the Buckeye Firearms Association got involved, Westerhold says, "in a very pro-active way." Using public records, the group posted on its website Westerhold's auto records, a traffic citation, a partial Social Security number, an address for property he owned, and details about his divorce and ex-wife. It also included information on how one might find out which public school Westerhold's 12-year-old daughter attended, which bus she took there, and how a photo of the girl from her school yearbook could probably be found in the local library.
Seems Kenny--when he's not threatening children--likes to campaign. He's run for the NRA Board of Directors--and failed. He ran for his county's prosecutor job and failed.
In Delaware Co., Ohio, the position of county prosecutor is an appointed position. In a heavily GOP area, Hanson failed to secure the GOP's endorsement because he was too extreme. On his campaign website, KennyBoy promised a clean campaign: "My goal is to present my message and my qualifications to the Voters while not tearing down the competition with personal attacks."
Yet, Kenny failed to secure his county's GOP recommendation after referring to his opponent as a "whore" and suggested the GOP was engaged a large conspiracy.
Typical NRA loser.
Typical NRA loser? Apparently not, since as you pointed out, he lost his bid to be on the Board of Directors. To be a member of the NRA, all you have to do is send in your annual fee. It ain't the Masons, folks.
ReplyDeleteSo, what you're saying is that the NRA has some indeterminate number of complete idiots in their membership? Jeez, finally, something we agree on.
ReplyDeleteKettle, the pot is calling on line one.
ReplyDeleteReally? The best they can do is resurrect a 6 year old story?
ReplyDeleteNo, Democommie, the point that I was making is that there may be any number of wackos who subscribe to the National Geographic. Would the National Geographic Society be responsible if one of its subscribers does something stupid?
ReplyDeleteNo, Democommie, the point that I was making is that there may be any number of wackos who subscribe to the OWS crowd. Are the OWSr's responsible if one of its members shoots up the White House while the President is not home?
ReplyDeleteHow about full Board members like some of those nuts, do they say something about the organization?
ReplyDeleteMikeb302000,
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you run some articles about the board members. Don't farm it out to Democommie; do it yourself. Now, I know you're going to offer us Ted Nugent, but come on--you guys have Rosie O'Donnell. You can give us a pass on one nut. Besides, between the two of them, who'd you rather drink a beer with?

Sweet suffrin' JESUS with Galil!
What YOU'RE saying, now, is "Yeah, the qualifications to be a member of the NRA are a pulse and method of payment for the membership".
Good to know.
Rosie O'Donnell v Ted Nugent. An overweight, loudmouthed lady whose intellect is suspect and who relies on being cute to get by v a gun totin', knuckleheaded, misogynistic, seditionist, draft dodgin' patriot like Ted. Yeah, I'll take that comparison.
The NRA has 75 board members, some of whom are genuinely nuts. The last time I checked Rosie O'Donnell had no position, paid or voluntary, with any anti-NRA organization.
I found this:

to be an interesting read; particularly the bit at the end where the guy says only 7% of NRA members even cast ballots for the board. Yeah, that's some real grassroots organization.

ReplyDeleteOnly lifetime members are allowed a vote on BoD positions....
Democommie,
ReplyDeleteI picked on Rosie O'Donnell because of her famous attempt to ambush Tom Selleck about his participation in an NRA ad.
Greg, It's not that I'm farming out the hard work to the co-bloggers as much as they just have more patience than I do. Also, several times now you've commented on what's missing around here when all you need to do is search our archives a little bit.
