Posted April 16th, 2008 at 8:44 PM by Jon HamHere’s what ABC News reported today after the American Hunters and Shooters Association endorsed Barack Obama:
“Sen. Obama will be a strong voice an unabashed voice for America’s hunters and shooters and it is with great pleasure that we endorse his candidacy,†President of the Association Ray Schoenke said, citing Obama’s commitment to the traditions of gun ownership.
Here’s what Bob Owens of Confederate Yankee reported:
Actually, it is Obama’s record on firearms that is unfair to Americans, but don’t expect Ray Schoenke to know much about gun rights, even if the Daily Kos diarist is the President of the American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA).
Schoenke, a failed Democratic candidate for governor of Maryland, has donated thousands to Handgun Control, Inc, a virulent anti-gun organization that was the forerunner of Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence. He has donated tens of thousands more to anti-gun Democratic politicians including Ted Kennedy.
AHSA executive director Robert Ricker has testified as a paid witness against the gun industry and consults for several anti-gun groups, and John Rosenthal, President of the AHSA Foundation, is a former member of Sarah Brady’s Handgun Control, Inc, and is leader of Stop Handgun Violence, a Massachusetts anti-gun group that has contributed to that state’s intolerant anti-gun guns.
Increasingly, it is the mainstream media that is abandoning the duties of journalism and bloggers who are assuming them.

AHSA is a group that purports to represent hunters and shooters, but it is really a front for commie anti-gun folks.

[...] – Lawhawk notes wannabe ‘Rat candidate for Senate from Minnesota Al Franken neglected to file or pay California corporate income taxes for a corporation based in California he controls between 2003 and 2007. No wonder why the ‘Rats want to raise your taxes; you have to cover for their failures to pay them. – Kate asks whether any of the three major candidates for President have a statement about plans to turn this into the United Commonwealth of Mexico. We know El Jefe Jorge approves of this. – Jim Hoft has the obligatory bad-wig Leave Barack Alone video. Er, no; all of the Three Stooges provide too many targets to leave this environment. – With a tip of the hat to Amanda Carpenter, Hawk delivers a near-doubling of Baskin Robbins flavors of Obama’s lies. – Jon Ham notes it’s bloggers like Bob Owens of Confederate Yankee that are doing the jobs the media used to do. In this case, Owens discovered that the American Hunters and Shooters Association, which endorsed Obama, isn’t exactly supportive of the Second Amendment. – On the media front, spiritofpublicus has a couple examples of ignorance in the press. – Speaking of endorsements, American Pundit notes the Peanut Farmer-approved Hamas political party terrorist organization has made theirs.

Gravelle has the Obama/Swimmer Photoshop of the day. – Jim Geraghty sees the same trend that happened in Ohio developing in Pennsylvania. As long as nobody cries “Uncle!” until Denver, we’re golden. – PJ-Comix does a killer job skewering the DUmmies’ cry of foul after the silver spoon bullies discovered velvet gloves can also slap them upside the head. – Kevin Fischer answers why Scott Walker took 79% of the vote in Franklin in the Milwaukee County Executive election (and 77%+ in Oak Creek). Somebody might want to clue the ‘Rats in (no seriously, if they’re going to be taking power, they may as well have a clue on what tax policy really means). – Bruce asks, “What’s wrong with this picture?” Recent public school graduates need not attempt to answer; they’re likely to embarrass themselves about as much as the school district in question. – Trail-Mix has a double-dose of toon action. – Michael answers the burning question of each flu season, “Why does every flu epidemic start in Asia?” Of course, it doesn’t explain why it ends in South America. – Mary Katharine Ham rolls a video on why both the flat-taxers and the fair-taxers hate the tax code, and asks that we all just get along. – Peter is hurting, mostly because of the last round of Gorebal Warming here in southeast Wisconsin. – In case you either stumbled directly here or got here on the TownHall version, Shoebox compares Disney World to life.

The Morning Scramble/Open Thread Thursday – 4/17/2008
After last night’s debate, there is just one song that describes what I was drinking. Of course, there was a question of which version to use, so Shoebox chose it…
I’m still unloading the overloaded feed reader, but…
