Genuine fraud? Or the real thing?
I'm glad Duncan Hunter had the good sense to call this seeming yahoo on the "gun toss." My initial suspicion was that he's about as much of a gun toting redneck as the school teacher who was arrested for the Columbine remarks. "Jay Fox lifetime member of the NRA." Really? I'm a "life member" of the NRA. That's the term, and when you pay the money it costs to become a life member, it's somewhat of a big deal. They send you a card and you get a lot of mailings, and if in fact you are a life member it's not a designation you're likely to forget. Anyway, I wouldn't call myself a "lifetime member" any more than I'd call myself a lifetime blogger, as I haven't been a member all my life. If "Jay Fox" is in fact a member of the NRA, I wonder whether he's a Michael Moore-style member, who does not believe in the goals of the NRA, but who says he does in order to be a provocateur. Otherwise, what's with the gun toss? And why does he and his "award winning team" spend their time making videos showing rednecks as moronic, bigoted, gun-toting scum? I'm sorry, but I seriously doubt that any Second Amendment supporter would make a film like this:
Satire is one thing, but it just seems a bit much. Fox News, however, seems to see it differently: ...not all the questioners at the debate were Democratic supporters. Jay Fox, who asked a question about the candidates' positions on gun control, confirmed to FOXNews.com that he is a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. He said that he had seen speculation online that he may have been a phony, but confirmed, "I actually am a Republican."While there is a film department at Chapman University, the claim that Boulevard, California is a "small town" seems exaggerated. Something about the proximity to the border, and the claim that "as in any small town, we like our big guns" just sounds tongue in cheek to me. Not that there's anything wrong with tongue-in-cheek satire, but I'm skeptical. I just can't figure out whether I'm skeptical of the satire or the reality. posted by Eric on 12.02.07 at 12:20 AM

It's so sad to see that you have no sense of humor. For the record, Jay Fox is a life member of the NRA, a true second amendment supporter, as well as an avid film maker. Now, for you Eric, to sit in your ivory tower and judge Mr. Fox is certainly not very becoming, and it makes you look like an idiot. And, Emily, Jay Fox is in the Republican Club at Chapman UNIVERSITY, but seeing that you haven't attended a meeting, since....September or October? We shouldn't expect too much from you, now should we? Christy · December 3, 2007 06:46 PM Good site. Thank you!!! free walmart coupons · December 18, 2007 01:16 AM Post a comment

Well he's definitely not a Chapman College Republican Club member, as I am, but I do not think that even a non-club-joining Republican would do something like this. It smells too much like a joke to be real.
