Liberal Whoopi Goldberg Admits She’s a Member of the NRA:
GOLDBERG: But it is also, is it also, John, because those folks are saying, okay, here’s what I have in my house. I’m letting–the government says — I want you–I’m an NRA member, as you probably know or don’t know.
…
STOSSEL: You packing now?
HASSELBECK: Maybe?
GOLDBERG: You don’t want to find out.
I despise emulation of celebrities but I recognize it probably is hard-wired into the human brain. Therefore this is great news. Not only has she “come out of the closet” as a gun owner and NRA member but she is a black female who comes across as reasonably smart, rational, and likable. This makes it more difficult for the anti-gun people to make their usual claims about gun owners being stupid/ignorant/insurrectionist racist white males.
She’s just compensating for the size of Ted Danson’s penis.
anyone see pigs flying yet?
It’s the NRA part that got me, not the gun ownership part. Unless she assumes the two are the same thing. I’ll own a dog, but won’t join the ASPCA. I may be over 55 but I won’t join the AARP.
Whoopie:
Well-known? Yuppers.
Likable? Can be when she want’s to be, but to often she’s in attack-harpy mode.
Intelligent? Yes, definitely.
Rational? Debatable.
Having her openly and outspokenly in the pro-gun camp would be great, especially if it prompted a slow conversion toward more libertarian / conservative views being openly espoused. But I won’t hold my breath.
Note that comes_across_as .NE. is
*gag*
Of all the liberals I don’t want on my team, one who defends rapists is high on the list.
…Articulate? Not so much.
I think this means you guys have to take Whoopi on your side. Now that’s what I call winning. Maybe she could become some kind of spokesperson, she’s so eloquent.
I am thinking I heard that Ginny Simone blew this story up by mentioning that the NRA has no record of Whoopi being a member of the NRA. Maybe Goldberg is like the other 10 million + people who think they are members as they paid their 25 dollars back in 1985, 19995, or 2005.
Did she not think the NRA would look her up?
