Your Minority Is Showing

Deranged conservative grifter, Ted Nugent played a "concert" in Roanoke.

The Hill:

Musician Ted Nugent, a vocal gun rights advocate, reportedly barred guns from being allowed into a venue he performed at in Virginia on Tuesday night.
A local NBC affiliate reported that Nugent's management made the decision to tell fans they could not bring their guns inside the Berglund Performing Arts Theater in Roanoke, Va.

According to the news outlet, the Berglund Center said that since it is owned by the city it is not allowed to ban guns from being carried into its facility unless a performer requests it. A sub-contract between Nugent and his promoter regarding open carry was shared with Berglund Center management right before the performance, according to NBC.

"It happened about five minutes before we opened doors, we had a security meeting before we opened doors and the subject came up and we said, 'Yes people will be bringing firearms,'" Berglund Center General Manager Robyn Schon told NBC.

According to Schon, Nugent's team said, "Uh, no, our agreement says no."
So, it's always pretty cool when the "conservative" is shown up to be a hypocrite, but there's something else.

Buried in the story is the little nugget that about 1000 fans showed up for the performance at a venue that seats 3,000+.

And I think that's instructive because "conservatives" are constantly claiming that theirs is the view shared by "The American People" - always inviting (insisting actually) on the inference that the majority of us agree with even the shittiest little notion that oozes out of the conservative id.

They can't be trusted at all. They got in line with, and voted for TRE45SON , and they continue to stand by that support. How do we not assume they're either lying to us all the time for nefarious reasons, or they just don't care?
