It sounds like Glenn Beck has pulled in his horns quite a bit and perhaps realizes how many ill-informed people hung on his every word.
Cat Scratch Racist rears his ugly head…again
Ted Nugent said:
“I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod, if not shame enough Americans to be ever vigilant not to let a Chicago communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel like the ACORN community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America”.
How long is the NRA going to harbor this racist pig? It’s time for them to fire him and disassociate themselves from Nugent if they want to remain a viable organization. At what point does his behavior simply make the NRA a redneck organization?
Free speech be damned. He can say whatever he wants. At some point, however, the NRA is going to have to take ownership of his remarks as long as he sits on their board of directors. If I were the NRA and the NRA my parents used to belong to, I would want to at least try to sound like the voice of reason.
Additional offensive remarks by Nugent.
AG Herring believes Va ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional
Virginia Attorney General Mark R. Herring will announce Thursday that he believes the state’s ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional and that Virginia will join two same-sex couples in asking a federal court to strike it down, according to an official close to the attorney general with knowledge about the decision.
The action will mark a stunning reversal in the state’s legal position on same-sex marriage and is a result of November elections in which Democrats swept the state’s top offices. Herring’s predecessor, Republican Ken Cuccinelli II, adamantly opposes gay marriage and had vowed to defend Virginia’s constitutional amendment banning such unions, which was passed in 2006 with the support of 57 percent of voters.
Herring, too, had voted against same-sex marriage eight years ago, when he was a state senator. But he has said that his views have changed since then and that on Thursday he will file a supportive brief in a lawsuit in Norfolk that challenges the state’s ban, said two people familiar with his plans.
Old Sparky: Trying to make a comeback
RICHMOND — Virginia lawmakers, facing a shortage of the drugs used to perform lethal injections, are moving toward re-embracing use of the electric chair.
The House of Delegates overwhelmingly passed a bill Wednesday that would make electrocution the default method of death for condemned prisoners if lethal injection is not available. Currently, electrocution is used only at the request of the inmate sentenced to die.
Virginia, like other states that allow capital punishment, is struggling with a shortage of the drugs used to execute prisoners. European manufacturers will not sell chemicals for use in executions, and a major U.S. supplier halted production in 2011.
