Title: Pretend to shoot Obama
Post by: ekg on March 24, 2012, 10:11:47 am
Oh those wacky right-wingers.. They don't irrationally hate the president, they just want a presidential canidate to pretend like he's shooting Obama when he's practicing his shooting..

atleast Santorum has the decorum to condemn the remark...

As Santorum Opens Fire at a Shooting Range, Supporter Yells ‘Pretend It’s Obama’

When most of your campaign is built around exciting the base,  you're bound to attract a few wingnuts. Case in point, this afternoon, when a female supporter of Rick Santorum's yelled "Pretend it's Obama!" as the candidate opened fire on a northern Louisiana gun range.

BuzzFeed reports that the candidate didn't hear the remark at the time (he was wearing ear-protectors), but later, forcefully condemned it. "That's a very horrible and terrible remark," he told reporters.  In a Washington Post video filmed at the campaign stop, the "Pretend it's Obama!" shout is clearly audible.

he had these (http://www.exploreproducts.com/media/caldwell-emax-low-profile-shooting-hearing-protection-sm.jpg) on and I can vouch that you can't hear shit when you're wearing them.. which is the point, to block out the noise of the gun shot. Not that it blocks that out completely, but it blocks out alot.

anyway, she was behind him, in the crowd.. I can believe he didn't hear it.
