Oh wow. This is the most direct and brutal attack on any right wingers I've ever seen from it. It's not satiracle mocking of them like they usually do, it's an utterly mean-spirited demonization just like Seth MacFarlane does. Fantastic.

But that's just one person who's an unsympathetic celebrity. This is demonizing the whole NRA and basically implying every member is a sociopath.

Don't we have an Onion thread where all this impotent bickering can go?

I wonder if Bushie could sue The Onion.  Sure, they changed the name and location, but they have to have based this story on him.  http://www.theonion.com/articles/picking-thing-up-from-apartment-floor-rescheduled,32333/

Jason Whitlock's KKK comparison was much better.

Brutal, but what the NRA deserves at this point, given its long series of lies and unconscionable positions. Not to mention the fact that gun sales go up after every one of these things, strengthening gun manufacturers, who are of course the real driving force behind the NRA.

Hmmm... Wasn't particularly offended, but then again, this is modern society so you have to avoid that to get through without having a bad day. I guess I'd just have to go with the "stupid and unfunny" answer.

Two nitpicks.  Bauer is an ex-Lt. Gov. and the Confederate flag no longer flies atop the dome.  It's still on the State House grounds flying in front of the Confederate memorial, but it hasn't been on the dome in over a decade.  Otherwise pretty much on target, except I wish he'd found something better to rip DeMint on than his opposition to a hate crime law.  I actually support that.  I am opposed to basing the punishments handed out for criminal activity based on the motive.  Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. would have been just as dead if they'd been killed only for kicks, and their killers would still have been deserving of the harshest punishment our criminal justice system could hand out.
