You can pry my “Night in Tunisia” vinyl copy from my COLD DEAD HANDS!!!!!!

Manilow? Well, I guess this proves that the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily a friend. If it were ever in doubt.

Not seeing the Beatles on the list…

I would advise the Corporate Persons on that list to use their 2nd-Amendment rights to stock up on heavy artillery, for defense against litigation and hostile take-over bids.

In other news, the NRA is apparently opposed to the existence of lists of gun owners, for fear that they might be targetted for harassment.

Perhaps, for the first time, we can begin to hope that things might change. .

If only we had some non-corrupt politicians to take advantage…
~

Because that whole “Enemies List” thing worked out so well for Nixon?

the NRA is apparently opposed to the existence of lists of gun owners, for fear that they might be targetted for harassment.

Well, the only place “conservative” and “consistent” are anywhere near each other is in the dictionary.

Soon they’ll just have drones following everyone in and out of the gun stores.

Hey, if you’re not doing anything wrong you don’t have anything to worry about – right?

Smut Clyde-

IT’S ALWAYS PROJECTION is a truism for a reason.

And again we have proof that whenever wingnuts start whining about being oppressed or fearing being oppressed, it’s time to take a closer look at exactly what they’re doing.

Richard Dean Anderson I can understand. He took one of “MacGyver’s” defining character traits — brains over firepower — and ran with it. But Sean Connery? Seriously? The guy who glamorized packing heat in a way not even the most jingoistic WWII movies or Westerns ever managed to do? The actor whose character made urban carrying smooth and sexy, not the act of a hard-boiled detective or Mafia mook? THAT Sean Connery? Wow. Just wow.

Nora Ephron – do they fear her more now she is dead than when she was alive. Who’ll raise this turbulent journalist, essayist, playwright, screenwriter, novelist, producer, director, and blogger from the dead?

ps. I do know she was cremated so it would be rather difficult.

Is this an old list from the 90s or something?

Well, Nora Ephron’s on that list and she’s been dead for half a year, so it’s at least that old.

Most likely, this thing was populated by harvesting names from petitions, member lists, or news articles. If human eyes ever saw this thing before it went out, I’d be shocked.

Mary Lou Retton? What in the name of Cthulhu did she do to offend the Gun Lords?

Looks like I was a bit behind the curve on this one.

But yeah, this thing was auto-generated for sure. Harvesting names for lists yields all sorts of strange results. A few years back, some website tried to compile a list of “self-hating Jews” using automatic generation and wound up including a surprising number of rabbis. Not that it matters, because no one actually reads these lists – you’re just supposed to marvel at the length.

I’m starting to think NOT openly carrying a gun is grounds for inclusion.

when i first read the list the other day, i was absolutely gobsmacked that they would be pissy about doctors…for christ sakes…then i got a kick out of it because of the out of dateedness of it…and again, linda dano? rilly? but what i really find cockeyed about the whole thing is how much money many of the names on the list have made off of guns and our rabid gun culture…indeed, have even contributed to it…

After a little bit of webcrawling, I’m not sure that the American Firearms Association still exists. They have a website that’s been offline for at least 15 years, a few posts to an old newsgroup circa 1996, and a Facebook page with no content. Most likely, it was an a group hastily assembled during the first debate over assault weapons that has long since dispersed.

The NRA puts out these lists on a regular basis, they’re just usually ignored. All evidence is that each “new” list is just the old list with their enemies du jour added in. Again, no one is meant to actually read these things, it just makes it look like the NRA is actually doing something.

THAT Sean Connery? Wow. Just wow.
I don’t know if the “The gun is Good” messaging from Zardoz was meant to be taken literally.

you’re just supposed to marvel at the length.

so, again….another weiner substitution…

I’m kinda surprised The Brady Bunch isn’t listed, what with them being behind the Brady bill and all.

Also, too: somebody with a name like Johnny Wayne or Charlie Heston should start writing anti-gun blogs and try to get on the list.

Dick Van Dyke is still alive?! I imagine he’d like to see his name anywhere.

Umm… Where’s Bob Costas? Jon Stewart?

Gun toting Slackers.

It comes as no surprise that the NRA has a big enema list.

What?

Speaking of lunatics, anybody ever heard of Fred Reed, the owner of fredoneverything.net? He recently did a column on gun control:

“Thoughts Following the Inauguration of Septimius Severus
We’re Screwed

January 22, 2013

I’ve been thinking about fault lines, and fractures, and diversity, and when it’s all going to implode. I hope I’m still around because it is going to be one gorgeous show. Few things are as entertaining as a truly good disaster.

What is going to kill us is diversity. It isn’t working well. By diversity I mean here the intermixing of large groups of people holding utterly differing and opposed values. There is too damned much diversity in America. It isn’t getting better.

The current donnybrook over guns is not a political question, like whether to raise or lower taxes. It is a clash of civilizations, a confrontation between two groups who seriously don’t like each other and hold irreconcilably different views of life. The two would be happier in separate countries, an idea that has occurred to them. It is that bad.

…..Cultures are stubborn things. Citizens of Uganda, Haiti, and Detroit are far more similar to each other than to European whites in their attitudes to schooling, crime, work, entrepreneurship, and the role of government. Venezuelans, Mexicans, and Uruguayans differ in various ways, but are more like each other than like Europeans. White Americans resemble Europeans much more than they resemble Africans, Moslems, or Mexicans. We really are African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, and European-Americans.

The racial groups in the US do not have much in common, do not like each other. Diiversity.”

…..and on it goes. I was thinking he could replace Adam Yoshida, unless this is an experiment in Poe’s Law (which I doubt.)

Does Fred propose killing all whites?

There is too damned much diversity in America.

hmmmm…fred is not a very good individualist, is he…

Well, it’s nice to see that SOMEBODY considers the Kansas City Royals to be a threat.

Well, it’s nice to see that SOMEBODY considers the Kansas City Royals to be a threat.

There is too damned much diversity in America.

… and TOO MANY STATES.

“Thoughts Following the Inauguration of Septimius Severus

Quite a compliment to Obama, there.

When you’ve begun to think like a gun…

Kevin Bacon – Actor

So by extension everyone who’s ever acted.

Thoughts Following the Inauguration of Septimius Severus

I thought African Americans had little in common with white Europeans?

the only place “conservative” and “consistent” are anywhere near each other is in the dictionary.

I’m going to steal this.

I went to the NRA’s site and followed their “Contact us” link so that I could request that I be put on their enemies list.

In their interface, you have to enter complete personal information, like your full name, street address and your telephone number. They will not accept your message without every field being complete.

So it appears you have to provide more information to contact them with a comment than you do to buy a gun at a gun show.

Hoosier X: Sorry for leaving off credit for your gem.

No one will. That’s why you need to buy a shotgun to protect yourself from zombie Nora Ephron.

Seriously, what’s with all the KC hate on this list? We LOVE us some guns here. Why, 14 people got 2nd amendmentized in January alone! Go beat that, Atlanta!!

I’m kinda surprised The Brady Bunch isn’t listed, what with them being behind the Brady bill and all.

Isn’t there also a quarterback or something?

There is too damned much diversity in America.

Also the rent is too damn high.

Hey I have an idea! To make us more popular and accepted let’s make a list of hugely popular people and organizations AND CALL THEM OUR ENEMIES!

Worked great for Nixon…………………………

I’ve got a little list,
of targets that can’t be missed,
my staff tells me no,
that I shouldn’t tell you so,
because you will think less of me the more I declare that they must go.
I’ve got a little list,
which I compile for media grist,
of the famous and stubborn who will not pledge their troth,
or at least their silence, to firearms or to bullets or preferably both,
I tell it to the tame media, who tell it to the rubes, who never cared before but now express to loath.
What happens next?
What should I expect?
Will Alec Baldwin and Maya Angelou apologize to me and to my gat?
If something violent happens to them, should I have expected that?

Hey bbfk – don’t be so surprised about the docs. I used to work for a doc named Jeremiah Barondess. He started an initiative called “Doctor’s Against Handgun Violence” The only thing they advocated that physicians ask patients if they had a gun in their house and, if so, was it properly stored. The NRA went batshit crazy against Dr. B in a segment on 60 minutes. We LARFFED our butts off.

As far as I’m concerned the only thing this list shows is that EVERYONE hates the fucking NRA.

To quote Slim Pickens in Blazing Saddles….
“Piss on you, I’m working for Mel Brooks!”

For plain LOL worthiness, it is three-way tie between Geraldo (guess they couldn’t look up his last name), Levi Strauss, maker of comminu-socialist gear for the Red Army and Sara Lee.

Sara Lee?

Seriously? The company that makes the cakes and shit? The only organizations that might reasonably blacklist Sara Lee have the words Society and Endocrinology in their names.

For a more evil chuckle I note they’ve gone after BC/BS of Kansas. I’m not sure why they picked that one Blue, but fucking with one Blue is like kicking one member of the Borg. Only this Borg has enough money to buy and sell your ass if it wants. Or it could just raise the rates for gun owners, and being a private company, you can scream about the 2d. Am. until you’re blue in the face and they don’t have to give a shit.

And the loudest special-interest group in the history of mankind – The AMA.

And dear fucking God, the Catholics. Yeah, that was brilliant.

I don’t know about the rest of you all, but I’m really glad they published this list. Because I look forward to seeing fucknuggets like McCrank glubbering and flubggering when asked if he believes oh, let’s see … the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, is an enemy of the 2d Am., American and Freedoom! Or Tara Lipinski, who is what, 4″ tall and cute as a button? Yeah, there’s a Benedict Arnold for ya.

Also, Anne Rice? She is quite fucking mad. I almost feel sorry for anyone who would mess with that woman.

When you’ve begun to think like a gun…

Infecting people with earworms is un-American. I’m reporting you to the NRA.

In fact, I say we flood them with freedoom haters they missed. I call dibs on ratting out Fred Rogers. You never saw him with a gun, did you?

Infecting people with earworms is un-American. I’m reporting you to the NRA.

Meanwhile over at LGM, commenter Hogan is prompted by a Warm Gun reference:

And look how many people Maxwell Edison killed with a silver hammer. Are we now going to ban silver hammers?

Sylvester Stallone and Hallmark Cards – a political combination that can never be stopped …

Notice who’s NOT on the list? Creed, that’s right.

*I haven’t actually seen the list, I’m just ASSuming

Of the original Temptations, Otis Williams is the only one left.

Sylvester Stallone and Hallmark Cards

The ‘I’ is red,
The ‘O’ is blue.
Be my valentine
And I’ll drive the Russians out of Afghanistan for you.

Does your wife like to drive the Russians out of Afghanistan? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more!

My favorite is Andy Williams because he’s actually dead.

The wading pool is now the deep end.

In a bit of synchronicity TIL Sean Connery took a gun from a guy who pointed it at him and made him flee.

http://murderpedia.org/female.C/c/crane-cheryl.htm

Can’t copy – do the CTL-F thing

And I’ll drive the Russians out of Afghanistan for you

Ahem. I think you’ll find that James Bond did that. Duh.

“And with that, you’ve lost every lesbian forever.”

Well, they did that at Ellen DeGeneres. And, possibly; it’s rumoured, Maya Angelou.

Infecting people with earworms is un-American. I’m reporting you to the NRA.

Blame John Cale. And his old buddy Lou too:

Carrying a gun
Shooting with a gun
Dirty animal…

They can have Boyz II Men, but only if they take NKOTB and Dappy as well.

Inquiry: What is Dappy?
.

Oh. Dappy, is the english snoop dogg, or sommat:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2013/jan/17/dappy-guilty-affray-petrol-station

…otherwise known as halfpac.

So the NRA has this huge list of enemies and yet we still can’t get decent gun control passed? I guess having lots of guns really does help you win arguments.

Ah, but it is only now that the enemies know of one another’s existence, and can coordinate their activities.

Richard Dean Anderson I can understand. He took one of “MacGyver’s” defining character traits — brains over firepower — and ran with it.

Also played a character in Stargate whose son shot himself with his service handgun. Though that was established before RDA played the character.

Did Barack Obama not make the list? Huh…

Also, I totally get why they put captain Picard on the list…cuz he was all about setting your phasers on stun and whatnot.

I bet there isn’t a single gun nut that doesn’t eat primarily Sara Lee products.

Sheesh. Bad bread.

(They’re trying, but they’ve eaten, moved, and downsized so many bakeries, quality is not their job #1…)

I forgot to add something about Fred Reed, sage and stogey-sucker; he doesn’t even live in America anymore – he slinked away to Mexico some time ago.

I gave you Fred because this site clued me into the trainwreck goodness of Bob “The Other McCain” and his white male Robin Quivers “Smitty” and I wanted to return the favor. As a bonus I’d like to mention IMAO, the mentally-disturbed blog of Frank J. Fleming and three other nutters. He (or the other guys) wanted to nuke the Moon in 2002…..they’re really into guns right now.

@tigris: Severus was mixed race, like Obama. I guess the reference is a) to that and b) to the way the Empire went to hell after his death, and not to the fact that he actuakly held it together for 18 years.

Cerb, Cerb, Cerb, how did you miss THIS?

Peter Bonerz – Actor

Fess up, which one of you added this to the NRA’s list?

Now excuse me, I’m running late for a meeting with cadre brothers Peter Bonerz and Matt Damon at the local YWCA for our annual anarchist barbeque and Gun-Owner torture ceremony.

Sorry Cerb… gee, my foot tastes weird…

Nora Ephron – do they fear her more now she is dead than when she was alive. Who’ll raise this turbulent journalist, essayist, playwright, screenwriter, novelist, producer, director, and blogger from the dead?

She’s kinda like Obi Wan Kenobi that way.

THE INSIDIOUS EVIL OF THE TEMPTATIONS

Fess up, which one of you added this to the NRA’s list?

Bob Newhart would like a word with you.

Severus was mixed race, like Obama. I guess the reference is a) to that and b) to the way the Empire went to hell after his death, and not to the fact that he actuakly held it together for 18 years.

Oh poop. Too bad it wasn’t for gaining power by the killing of his predecessor by the Senate.

“Severus was mixed race, like Obama.”

Sure, he was a half-blood prince, wizard and muggle. Everyone knows that.

Peter Bonerz – Actor

It’s pronounced “Bay-ners.”

“Pay-ter Bay-ners… Ohk-tar”

Severus was mixed race, like Obama.

Indeed. But unlike Obama, Severus was born in Africa.

No Lynyrd Skinner on that list? Man, after all the abuse they’ve taken over the years, too: what was ‘Saturday Night Special’, then – chopped liver?
And Dappy is an apparently mentally deficient young man who formed a rap group a few years back, called N’Dubs, iirc. I’m not sure where he fits in all this. He seemed like a relatively likeable, if very, very dim, young fellow on that NMTB show in the UK a while back.

Also, too: “I call dibs on ratting out Fred Rogers. You never saw him with a gun, did you?”

Fred Rogers didn’t need no gun.

Can’t believe they got Garfunkel but missed Oates.

Question: is there a (hit) list of lobbyists for the NRA anywhere? Who is on the Board of Directors of this gig? It’s one thing to refer to the NRA in an amorphous fashion, but are we ever going to “target” (a euphemism, not really up for shooting anyone in the face here) the actual and specific human beings who back this crap?

Shouldn’t this just go straight into a gun-control ad under the headline “These are the people who think the NRA goes too far” or something?

Also I can’t believe that Chaka Khan has yet to draw a comment here.

The fact is, if you use your status as a public individual to advocate against our consitution you should be in jail for treason.

When you have the Methodists, the League of Women Voters, the PTA, and the Kansas City Royals on your enemies list, you may need to peek above the barricade for just a second.
I give them credit. There is probably no other list in human history as broad or varied as this one. Makes me wonder who they think their allies are. No one I would guess.

I think we should all recirculate the list with the Sons of Confederate Veterans included, just to mess with them, and see how long it takes anyone to notice.

Darcia, Darcia, Darcia!

That is all.

gee I want to be on this list.

Have searched the list…. Great concern, the activist anti gun group “The Kings of the Delta Tiki Sound” didn’t make the list. A powerful group that interpreted many great Hawaiian songs in the style of John Lee Hooker, they often played at anti-NRA rallies around the nation. The surviving members (after the tragic “Wall of Science” fire) are living on Sara Lee cakes and old Levi’s. if nothing else Johhny Bamboo needs the satisfaction of NRA hatred

If the Temptations and Dick Van Dyke are on the list, I want in…how can I get on their list?

I get pleasure from, lead to I found exactly what I was taking a look for.
You’ve ended my 4 day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a great day. Bye
