Kerry | NRA Targets Kerry

The Los Angeles Times reports that the National Rifle Association is launching television commercials and newspaper ads criticizing Kerry as an opponent of gun-owner rights:

The latest ad shows an NRA lobbyist, Chris W. Cox, walking through a field with a shotgun slung over his shoulder.

[. . .]

“Remember, John Kerry’s not a hunter,” Cox says in the ad. “He just plays one on TV.”

The Associated Press reports that the National Rifle Association also uses a sweater-wearing poodle with a pink bow mocking Kerry’s attempts to portray himself as friendly to gun sports and saying:

“That dog don’t hunt.”

“John Kerry says he supports sportsmen’s rights. But his record says something else,” the ads say.

I saw a large billboard ad yesterday. At first I didn’t realize what it was, but reading it was great! It had the message stated above with the picture of the large ‘french’ poodle with pink bow. Way too funny and just enough to stir up the funny bone of local hunters who know Kerry for what he is. They should run one now with the 16 point buck that Kerry supposedly saw on Cape Cod…thats even funnier!!
