Yahoo is notoriously anti-gun. How many articles do we see there where they complain about Bloomberg doing the same thing? Oh, that's right, NONE! Why? They agree with Bloomberg.

It's hard to take a person seriously that starts with a bold face lie...."Early last summer I began making contributions to the National Rifle Association — a dollar here, a dollar there — to see where my money would end up.'

First, it is highly unlikely he donated any money. Second, it is more unlikely he donated only $1 if he was donating.

Third, the bold face lie is he has no idea where HIS one dollar actually went.

Many years ago I worked as a stringer covering local high school football and basketball games. Something this ridiculous would have never got passed my editor even though he was editing the articles at midnight on Friday.

Crappy reporting or not, NRA admitted to making a mistake with a fraction of the contributions. Not to the scale Yahoo alleges though. Yahoo is also backing off of the fraud claims.

Quite frankly, since it CLEARLY states my donations to the NRA are no tax deductible, how can it be a fund raising violation. And to be honest, I don't really care how the NRA spends my money, as long as it is in defense of the Second Amendment. They need to raise as much money as they can to make sure EVERY DEMOCRAT is defeated. The liberal lame stream media will be all over them because they support the democrats that are anti-second amendment (not to mention the !st, and 4th as well). They want to bring about their socialist utopia. And they cannot force the productive to support their parasites without using a bayonet in their backs. An armed citizenry is not about to let them accomplish that. Like other socialists before the democrats (Hitler, Stalin, etc) they know they must disarm people before they can bring about their gulags.
