Back on thread..
So the southern gun totin' state of Arkansas has this guy who is the gun totin' Republican state representative called Nate Bell. And in the middle of a city wide manhunt/curfew in Boston involving a dangerous bomber tweets from the bottom of his hillbilly redneck heart :-
"I wonder how many Boston liberals spent the night cowering in their homes wishing they had an AR-15 with a hi-capacity magazine?"
Cue, cheering, backslapping tweets from the stereotypical banjo playing, single toothed clampetts of the minor legislative state with very little political clout.
Four hours later after a political backside thrashing from the big boys in the Republican party he posts...
"I would like to apologize to the people of Boston & Massachusetts for the poor timing of my tweet earlier this morning. As a staunch and unwavering supporter of the individual right to self defense, I expressed my point of view without thinking of its effect on those still in time of crisis. In hindsight, given the ongoing tragedy that is still unfolding, I regret the poor choice of timing. Please know that my thoughts and prayers were with the people of Boston overnight and will continue as they recover from this tragedy."
So he's a muppet and an idiot, but he's also a jobsworth coward who has buckled under pressure, sold his supporters down the river and does not even have the courage of his own convictions. He'll go far in politics
