Texas man runs radio ads saying "Obama voters, Muslims need not apply for gun course"

[quote]SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - A central Texas gun dealer ran radio ads advising "Socialist" liberals, those who voted for President Barack Obama, Arabs and Muslims that they need not apply for his concealed gun license class.
Crockett Keller, who owns Keller's Riverside Store, ran the ads on the radio station in his rural hometown of Mason, Texas, which is 120 miles west of the state capital of Austin.
"If you are a Socialist liberal and/or voted for the current campaigner in chief, please do not take this class," Keller said in the ad. "You have already proven that you cannot make a knowledgeable and prudent decision as required under the law."
"Also, if you are a non-Christian Arab, or Muslim, I will not teach you the class," Keller said in the radio ad.
Keller said he is simply exercising his freedom to teach concealed handgun license classes to whomever he wants. He said he has received "hundreds" of calls from Americans who support his stance.
"I should have had the class next week instead of this week, I could have had 500 people in it," Keller said on Friday.
He said he was not joking when he put the lines about socialists in his commercial, because he knows some socialist liberals and did not want them to enroll in the class.
"I didn't want them to show up and have to tell them no," he said.
The Texas Department of Public Safety, which oversees the concealed carry program, and licenses instructors, said in a statement that "certified instructors are required to comply with all applicable state and federal statutes, and conduct by an instructor that denied service to individuals on the basis of race, ethnicity, or religion would place that instructor's certification at risk."
The department said it had begun an investigation into the matter, and would "take appropriate administrative action based on the findings of from the investigation."
Adults in Texas are allowed to carry concealed weapons if they have completed a class such as the one Keller teaches.
Keller wrapped up his radio by saying: "With no shame, I'm Crockett Keller. Thank you, and may God bless."[/quote]

This is why I love America.
It's socially acceptable to hate on the current minority group we've collectively decided to hate.
This ain't right.

No, it's really not. Select idiots decide it is, not the whole nation.

I was joking, but you'd be surprised. There's places where people are honestly racist fucks like this and it's acceptable there.

You'd also be surprised at there being racist fucks in Korea, in Japan, China, Europe...why, it's almost as if there are racists [I]everywhere![/I]

I actually laughed out loud at this

that's pretty racist against everywhere bro
[QUOTE=7DeadlySyns;33097856]No, I wouldn't be surprised. It's called the South. Of course it's acceptable there, they're poorly educated. It's sad really.[/QUOTE]
[B]Because we all know that everyone in the south is a racist, and there's no one outside that stereotype, so it's totally fine to act bigoted and prejudiced against the south.[/B]
I hope that guy shoots himself in the throat and drowns in his own fluids.

Guy has a [bigoted] opinion. He should die.

Man, you probably aced all of your reading comprehension tests as a kid.

I did read it, and he happens to have a bigoted opinion, that the [I]first amendment[/I] protects. Do I agree with it? No. Does he deserve to die for it? No!
Putting someone to death for their opinions is pretty far-fetched and extreme.

Not EVERYONE is stereotypical in the South, but a LOT of people are.

It's called hyperbole. People in this section take comments like that way too fucking seriously.

Okay. So how about those stuck up, rich-ass people of the North?
Again, another guy who makes all southreners look like hillbilly fucks.
Fucking Hell! I wish I could get out of this shithole. It isnt everyone but damn this is stupid bullshit. He is an idiot if he would willingly deny services based on political and religious affiliation.

He'll probably get his license removed

Give this man a hat.
But yesex, I find it funny that many of these extreme conservatives don't get that they are making the GOP look bad.
I see nothing wrong with this from a legal standpoint. Hey, five years down the road when he has state investigators on his ass shutting down his business because a disproportionately high amount of shooting suspects just so happened to take his classes, maybe he'll wish he chose a more respectable demographic to "teach."

um
then why is he being vilified in the media for his comments

This sounds like something Ron [sp]Fucking[/sp] Swanson would say.

I'm sorry, but the only poorly educated person I can see here is you. Saying that we're stupid here in "the south" based on a minority of racists is ignorant, which you seem to prove with your post that you clearly are.
And just so you know, there are racists and hate groups all throughout the states, in both the north and the south; They aren't just limited to one location.

Move into a city. City dwellers tend to be more liberal.

I never said he should be put to death.
I simply hope he dies horribly.
A rather significant difference there.
Okay man, its cool. To each his own.
However, I'll be taking my businesses to a less shitty CCW range and learn there. Have fun losing money over being a moron.
