1. What the heck is he doing, firing without ear protection

Many years ago, I took a firearms safety course sponsored by the NRA and my Boy Scout troop, and one of the first things the instructor said was "Always wear ear protection, otherwise you will damage your hearing, and once it's damaged, it won't fix itself."

When I was in the Army, my drill instructors made exactly the same point.

to everything America needs - or rather he is selectively deaf like a toddler - only hears what he wants to hear i.e from his crazy mad-hatter tea party members and anything the Kochs have to say.

He will be literally deaf. He is clearly a gun nut who does not know how to properly fire a gun.

In his next commercial, he will be shown driving a car without seatbelts.

hopefully you will be right about the next commercial and he will be run off the road by the clown car.

4. Death Panels. Will Brooke wants to shoot you through the heart.

I would love to be writing 30-second spots against this turkey. Same video, better audio:

Watch as Will Brooke shoots through the heart of health coverage for 16,000,000 Americans.

Watch Will shoot through the heart of 4,000,000 young adults to remove them from their parents' insurance plans.

Watch Will aim for the donut hole and totally obliterate prescription drug savings for millions retired Americans on Medicare.

If blasting peoples' lives is what you want, vote Will Brooke.
