Discussion: Missouri GOP Candidate For Governor Selling 'ISIS Hunting Permits'

He should be recruiting Americans for the Peshmerga instead of selling cheap-arsed souvenirs. Give those good old boys in Missouri something to shoot at with their weaponry, as well as, walking the talk.

And even more than that, all the stuff they put on basic cable about SEAL training or Ranger training, or whatever (which I admit I have watched), makes it seem like a really, really violent version of cheerleader tryouts. You can do all the push-ups and all the ninja stuff but that doesn’t actually get you the job. You don’t get onto the actual team until the guys who are already on the team decide that you’re the right kind of people.

Now they’re obviously very honorable, very brave, stand-up guys, but we all have comfort zones and we select our environments accordingly. So I’m creeped out by the idea that the really high-prestige military slots are filled exclusively by conservative, partisan Brad and Chad types who are also the gatekeepers for those positions.

I don’t know if that’s an actual problem or if it’s just my inner nerd reacting badly to a crowd of jocks, but I find it unsettling.

Please, Missouri, vote this perverted candidate out!

Because I have a brain and I think with it?

Actually, I find this gimmick more clever than anything the Trump clan have done to date.

ETA: The bumper sticker ISIS Hunting Permit part, not the signing by the SEAL who ā€œclaimsā€ to have killed OBL.

I have seen this guy’s ads. I know Navy Seals are supposed to be the best of the best, but I am not sure Marines don’t have more class.

Since ISIS feeds on hatred, why not go after those who feed ISIS, the Republicans? Buy the permit, kill the governor. Sounds pretty easy to me.

You forgot:
to the ME. Route them through Istanbul and notify ISIS they are coming.

Huh. Permit to hunt ISIS . . . . but no permit or background check to purchase a handgun.

Asshole has the rubes lining up…thinking

I’m gonna get me one of them ISIS licenses and go hunting, I’m told they are real taste once you smoke them…

This guy thinks he’s Rambo. He was running ads even the week after the Pulse attack showing someone peppering an area with a machine gun. He’s bankrolled by out-of-state socially conservative billionaires who apparently want to make our streets even more unsafe in MO.

What is it with Republicans? All of their candidates are running around crazy like chickens with their heads caught off. Trump was positively nuts yesterday ranting about we got to this or that or this or that. At one point he actually said something like ā€œI don’t know what to do but we got to do it.ā€

I don’t even want these Gung Ho Republicans allowed to ride the Buzz Lightyear arcade game at Disney World much less have one of them with their finger on the nuclear button
