#183 — Aside from Black Muslims etc.
I said stereotypical, i.e. prevalent enough to be a common and well understood image. Most animal rights types don’t shoot researchers, or if they do, I can’t remember hearing much about it. On the other hand abortion clinic attacks and bomb threats by far right wingers etc are common enough to be cliche.
If I were to ask kids at a local HS to associate the term gun nut with various groups, they would associate these with right wing extremists.
I just got another email this AM from a right winger who is forwarding scaremail to the effect that Obama doesn’t believe in the 2nd amendment; he’s after your guns. Although I know some Obama voters who are concerned about this, it’s far more prevalent among the anti-Obama voters. Right wingers and gun nuts are hand in hand. That is stereotype.
