If a Cherokee tribe member was at that event and offended, that must have been a grand offense.

Well, Kobach is infamous for his efforts to restrict voting access, which is a constitutional right. That's pretty darned un-American IMO.

Sounds like typical RW hypocrisy.

let me help you out here, you can offer an opposing view all you want, i still have the right to tell you that you are wrong in your view. unless of course you are thinking that you have rights, but i dont? and if that is the case then you are really wrong here.

in what manner? are you talking about restricting voting rights to certain people? or making it so only citizens of this country can legally vote, which is in fact the law of the land here?

Kobach's actions were yet one more childish display marginalizing how we treat guns in our society, in light of the recent several school shootings he was tone deaf to not think it was a bad idea.

The hypocrisy word is played out and insufficient. It's way past and much deeper than hypocrisy...it's Idiocracy as in the film of the same name.

Technically his flag paint job is a violation of the U.S. flag code. Even though the code is purely voluntary one would think someone espousing their super patriotism as Kobach does would be a bit more familiar with the U.S. flag code and do a better job of complying with it.

He's making it harder for certain segments of the population to vote. Voter suppression.

His excuse or premise of voter fraud is a nonsense argument - as rates of voter irregularities is around 0.02% or less. C'mon now. Just nonsense.

************************************************** *********************************
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a longtime proponent of voter suppression efforts, argued before state lawmakers that his office needed special power to prosecute voter fraud, because he knew of 100 such cases in his state. After being granted these powers, he has brought six such cases, of which only four have been successful. The secretary has also testified about his review of 84 million votes cast in 22 states, which yielded 14 instances of fraud referred for prosecution, which amounts to a 0.00000017 percent fraud rate.

Wow- that was a really stupid thing to do!

There are a lot of people who are nervous over attending a parade nowadays. Rightly so- a mass shooter could find a crowded parade route a super-easy target.

And the Boston bombers chose the marathon as a target, proving the apprehensions.

So what does this bonehead do? Mount a realistic man-killing phony heavy machine gun on a Jeep. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

All he had to do to make a 2nd amendment point was to wear a pistol in a holster. Kansas allows that. Or have a big sign announcing he supports the 2nd amendment mounted on the back of the Jeep instead of the... machine gun. A weapon that looked like it could kill 'em all, man, woman, and child, in the wink of an eye, mowing them down like cutting corn in a field.

Just the ticket to make voters feel safe and secure, for sure. You bet.
