Okay, so I haven't diaried much lately. The general quality here is way higher than I can usually match. Keep up the good work, DailyKos!
Ted Yoho (R) represents Florida's 3rs district. He is an unabashed tea-bagger. On Facebook I "liked" his page last fall. I figured it would give me an insight into teh crazy.
He's signed onto such things as impeaching Eric Holder, the present Attorney General.
Today on his page, there was an announcement of an event on Dec 14th, in Gainesville, which I think is about as heartless and tone deaf as could be.
Yes folks, there will be a "Family Firearm Safety Event" on Dec 14th from 2 to 4:30 PM, at the Jackie Taylor Building, in Lake City, Florida.
He invites you to bring the kids!
I'll get to the point. I am astounded that he would choose to sponsor such an event on the anniversary of the Sandy Hook massacre. I think it is insensitive in the extreme.
It makes me wonder. Knowing that Yoho probably is not imaginative to come up with such a crazy, tone-deaf and stupid idea, are the other tea bag caucus Rs also doing gun events in their district that day? From here in Honolulu, I have no way to research this.
