1995: George H.W. Bush Resigned Lifetime NRA Membership Over LaPierre Fanaticism

[uscitizen]

Tim McVeigh wasn't a right wing fanatic. He was an anti government fanatic. Not caring whether that government was right or left. Today he'd be an independent.

Or libertarian.

1995: George H.W. Bush Resigned Lifetime NRA Membership Over LaPierre Fanaticism

Following is the letter of resignation sent last week by former President George [H.W.] Bush to the National Rifle Association: May 3, 1995

Dear Mr. Washington,

I was outraged when, even in the wake of the Oklahoma City tragedy, Mr. Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of N.R.A., defended his attack on federal agents as “jack-booted thugs.” To attack Secret Service agents or A.T.F. people or any government law enforcement people as “wearing Nazi bucket helmets and black storm trooper uniforms” wanting to “attack law abiding citizens” is a vicious slander on good people.

It was just after the Oklahoma City terrorist bombing that LaPierre said that. The rightwingers were throwing a fit that the FBI might be investigating rightwing extremists, militias, etc.,

after a rightwing terrorist attack.

Imagine that...

do the name Ruby Ridge ring a bell Herrman?

So he would have fit right in around here with all the anti-government rightwingers.

Good point, least intelligent poster on USMB.

You're saying Ruby Ridge justified the Oklahoma City bombing, therefore the FBI should have called it even and backed off?

That's mildly insane.

 

[LadyGunSlinger]

Liberals expect everyone to act as ZOMBIES who follow lockstep as they do. They don't understand independent thought.

 

[Truthmatters]

Now the right will likely trash him after he passes

Remember when the GOP had great men.... Are those days gone forever?

Its was the begining of the right wing nuttery.

Its all revolved arround wanting to see Clinton as some monster.

No one is impressed. Bush Sr. is a RINO. He's a liberal, in other words. He probably only joined the NRA for political purposes in the first place.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Ironically, LaPierre loved the idea of racial profiling after 9/11.

And, btw, he made his 'jackbooted thug' remark, and other Nazi references,

in a fundraising letter right after the Oklahoma City bombing.

Don't let the crisis go to waste, eh???
