Dr. Michael S. Brown penned an open missive to Marion Hammer about the internal strife we are having. He was doing not bad at all, but he had be a hyperbolic idiot:
(re: LaPierre)
This is the kind of behavior we expect from dictators like Nicholas Maduro, not the leader of America’s oldest civil rights organization.
I beg your effing pardon? Is he out of his skull. I know you don’t like LaPierre, but comparing him with somebody who has destroyed a country and even has real Gestapo-like organizations and death squads running around the country arresting or killing political foes is a stupid exaggeration that destroys any message he was trying to give (Unless the message is as appears to be interned, Fuck It And Destroy the NRA.)
Now, if you have not caught up to the idea that every line we write may be used against the NRA and us in The Trace and the New York Time and Taco Stand, where the hell have you been? Congresscritters do not read your sharp tweets, they read the WaPo and the NYT. And they are going to read the opinion piece where they mention a respected doctor involved in Gun Rights accusing LaPierre (and by proxy, the NRA and its members) of being a dictatorship like Venezuela’s Maduro.
So please, remove LaPierre without giving the enemy internal ammunition to bring down the organization. And if you cannot do that, at least be candid enough to say you are in for the payback and not for Gun Rights. At least we know where you stand because sure as shit I do not consider you a part of the NRA.
Stop behaving like AOC and company. You are supposed to be adults.
[…] Miguel asks a poignant question: “Can LaPierre be removed without destrying the NRA from the inside? Apparently nobody cares.” […]
