Every sick evil f*%k that produced “Who Is America” TV on SHOWTIME


USA – -(Ammoland.com)- I’ve been wrestling with this for a few weeks. While I derive no pleasure from discussing it, I refuse to shy away from it, so here goes.

(Article by Mark Walters republished from AmmoLand.com)

As you are no doubt aware, a little over one year ago, two giant figures in the gun rights community, Phil Van Cleave, and Larry Pratt were caught on camera playing along with Sacha Baron Cohen for what we now know is a sick Showtime comedy series, ‘Who Is America’.

The basic premise of the show was to catch conservatives, in this case, gun rights activists, in embarrassing and compromising situations. In both of these cases, it was extremely effective.

To be fair, they were not the only high profile victims of Cohen’s vicious hit jobs, but frankly, I don’t care about the others, only the attacks against the pro 2A community and in this case, two friends. That said, let me be clear: both of these men are longtime friends of mine. I’m not here to judge them after the fact as they have suffered tremendously, continue to suffer ridicule and embarrassment and are no doubt feeling the pressure of being publicly ostracized by many within a community they have worked so hard for over so many years.

There isn’t anything I can say or do here on this page or on my radio programs that will help either of them out of their predicament, nor will I bother trying. I can’t and I won’t. Reality is a harsh mistress and both gentlemen will endure whatever comes their way, personally and professionally, as a result of their own actions. Unfortunately, perception is reality and for the vast majority of Americans who saw the videos or will see them without the benefit of knowing the decades of selfless hard-work these individuals have put into making America great. Their legacy, in and outside of the firearms rights community, is tarnished forever.

But there is a bigger story here if that is even possible, and that is the question of how it all came to be?

Not how did each man put themselves in such a position to do or say the things they did, only they can answer that, but rather, who are the people behind the scenes who provided the platform that enabled the outcome? Who did this? What kind of people do this to other American’s knowing it would crush reputations, cost jobs, destroy lives and family? And why? For what purpose? Comedy? Money?

Think about this for a moment. I don’t know if you’ve ever been on a television, studio or movie set, (I have). There is a crew of people involved in the making of any production, especially one of the big budget types such as this. It includes camera operators, directors and production assistants, makeup artists, lighting etc. It is a busy place with a lot of activity.

In this case and because of the nature of the deception necessary to pull it off successfully, the entire crew, in addition to their individual responsibilities, were also actors, and more importantly, bonafide, unashamed, liars.

Each one of them was well aware that they were intentionally deceiving another human being who would later be publicly ridiculed, shamed and scorned to the point of what might be incalculable destruction to their lives.

Here is a complete list of the evil low life scum that willfully assisted in destroying the lives of good men and women who only want the best for our country.

These actors and liars performed their roles perfectly. No laughter on set, no snickering or outward appearance of anything that would give away their true intent, acting as nothing more than professional crew members doing their jobs, that is until the lights went dim and the subjects were comfortably on their way home.

I can only imagine the laughter and high fives behind the scenes as they deceptively edited tape, reviewed material and added the graphics to the green screen shots in their intentional efforts to provide maximum destruction to the participants, whose own actions without edits, was bad enough.

Again, while the participants made terrible decisions in engaging in the first place and have no one to blame but themselves, this type of activity from well-funded leftist entertainment and media simply highlights the deep-rooted hatred and the lengths to which those filled with such hate, will go to destroy their enemies. The massive, behind the scenes lies and deception by dozens of sick and evil individuals that it took to pull this off, willing participants or not, shows us in no uncertain terms the lengths that those who hate us as conservatives and/or gun owners will go to destroy us. They will gleefully destroy our lives, reputations, community standings, careers, family relationships and anything else that they believe stands in their way.

Unfortunately, two of our own, stupidly, albeit unwittingly, handed them the keys to their own reputations and in the process did incalculable damage to not only themselves but their community. But those responsible for enabling a sicko like Cohen deserve to share the shame.
