1. And people clapped, they are the dumbest mother fuckers out there.

[hlthe2b]

2. I think LaPierre knew he was being pranked, but given the ignorance & credulity of the crowd,

sucked it up and accepted it. He looks very uncomfortable and I do not think him to be a stupid man--immoral as hell, yes, but not stupid.

This only underscores the ignorance of a significant percentage of our population and why our public schools are at risk. RW can only succeed by continuing to dumb down the populace and instill fear/hate.

[dem4decades]

3. Yeah he knew, he's a craven bastard. And they are ignorant, and armed and dangerous.

[Demovictory9]

5. how is he even allowed on the podium after stealing all that NRA money?

10. AUDIO: NRA leaders called their members wackos, hillbillies, and idiots but love their money.

---------------------------------

The NRA used to be for sportsmen, hunters and gun safety.

Now it has become an industry owned shill for the sale of more guns and the enrichment of its leaders.

25. Allowed on the podium?

The NRA board re-elected LaPierre yesterday by a count of 54-1. And the surprising part about that is there's one person in the mix who might be of sound mind!!!

4. +1

14. Not so sure

I thought that he looked totally confused throughout the entire speech. Looked like he was trying really hard to figure it out, but just couldn't quite get a handle on the point of it all.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. That is just brilliant. And no one was smart enough to figure it out

[rubbersole]

7. Small crowd....

Small minds. The NRA perfected the threat of primary opposition to congress candidates 25 years ago. Now with gerrymandering ruling the landscape, primaries are the election in most places.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

8. They're such a smart-looking crowd, I'm surprised they didn't catch on.

It probably hits them later that night, back at the Econo Lodge during Unfiltered.

[Javaman]

9. That was extraordinarily clever

I think many in the audience got it, via the weak applause at the end.

They couldn’t shout him down, because, he was just stating their fucked up platform boiler plate response to every single horrible shooting

[BobTheSubgenius]

11. The icing on the cake?

At least for me...the smattering of applause at the end from those so dim that they thought the speaker was sincere.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

22. Reminds me of how so many RWers thought Stephen Colbert's

over-the-top fake conservative on his old show, the Colbert Report, was for real.

[BobTheSubgenius]

26. Spot on!

Sometimes, it was a little over the top, but mostly, it was genius. I well remember his performance at the WHC's Dinner that took him from being a fairly obscure cable TV personality to a big time star. He just EXPLODED after that night.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

29. His WHC dinner performance was breathtakingly courageous & cutting. Another bit he did that I think

was genius is this take-down of "trickle down" economics:

(worth waiting through the ad--I mute it.)

30. Right you are!

Thank you for the classic!

[NJCher]

12. It's only 9:15 in the East, but this already made my day

That is an absolute scream; I was laughing so hard, especially at how sincere the speaker was.

Being a teacher of interpersonal communication (and public speaking) , I was watching the faces and other physical reactions of the "crowd" (wow, was that sparse) and saw little to nothing, which indicates that other posters on this thread are right--they just didn't get it.

The speaker scored his major points when he listed all the shootings and how LaPierre offered thoughts and prayers on every one of them.

But I really laughed when at the end he said we just needed to "pray" harder, and "think" harder.

Now as far as LaPierre's body language was concerned, he absolutely knew he was being pranked but the speaker had him in a chokehold because if LaPierre demanded he stop, then the attendees would know he was being had.

This is a communications coup!

Bravo for the speaker!

15. Old Wayne looked like he's been backed up for a couple of months.

[Chainfire]

16. Wow! He stepped into the lion's den and bested the lion, big-time!

[Demovictory9]

23. lol... he did.

[bif]

17. Absolutely brilliant!

Thanks for sharing. That made my day!

[HAB911]

18. I think he realized he was getting a boot up his ass

but could do nothing about it. TOO FUNNY

[Chainfire]

28. Of course he knew, but he saw that the crowd didn't get it,

You can see it in his body language.

I am sure he was imaging sending the security brutes to drag the man out, but he knew better.

[jcgoldie]

19. unfortunately

These are people who are too stupid for sarcasm.

[Blue Owl]

20. Keep putting the heat on this motherfucker

Just like this!!!

[peggysue2]

21. Excellent put down in real time!

Unfortunately, it was over the heads of a number of those in the audience. WHO ACTUALLY CLAPPED!

Maybe this proves that the MEGA,ULTRA MAGA types who worship at the gun altar (among other altars) can only hear what they want to hear, who really believe that thoughts and prayers is an appropriate response to mass murder, and that like themselves Wayne LaPierre is another aggrieved, unfairly attacked white guy who is selflessly protecting their right to buy weapons of mass destruction.

Or maybe they're just soulless fucks.

I'll go with the latter.

[uponit7771]

24. +1,

[bedazzled]

27. That is a really sparse crowd of intensely stupid people

Thanks for the belly laugh!
