| Maryland Group Accuses Hunters of Substance Abuse, Mental Instability |
| 2004-10-12 |
| EFL A group trying to stop a bear hunt in Maryland sent 600 postcards to landowners in Garrett County claiming that 40 percent of the sportsmen with permits to take part in the hunt are alcoholics, drug addicts or mentally unstable. The postcards were mailed out by the Institute for Public Safety, a citizens group from nearby Montgomery County, urging residents to exercise special caution during the state's first black-bear hunt in 51 years, which is set to begin Oct. 25. The Institute for Public Safety? Hmph! Calling hunters mentally unstable doesn't secure one's saftey. Just a thought....Say, just where did they come up with these numbers? Earle Hightower of Hey, I can play this game too. Watch. Over 90% of members of the MSM are _________ . |

| #13 Not the kind of people you really want to be pissing off by calling them names. Besides, they're armed, and drunk to boot... |

| #12 Matt - he also made mention of bringing his trusty double barrel 12 gauge during such hunts.....in the latest field and stream he no shit states he had an encounter with what was at least a 16 point buck.....that must've been the one they shot & killed for x-mas dinner up in cambodia back in '68. Yeah, that's the ticket. |

| #11 I would quote a huge statistic but I can't get my rectum to open that wide. So I'll make one up too. 99.9% of the members of the Institute for Public Safety are LLL moonbats. Worse yet many are space cadets who are not homeless yet due to personal good luck. I suggest these people should all go hug a live bear. That will cure them. |

| #10 I recall a similarly named outfit - the "Committee for Public Safety" they were..... Robespierre, Marat, et al. Word to the wise.... |

| #9 Hightower is maybe 3-4 standard deviations to the left of center. Maybe even further out on the extremes in the dingbat, light in the loafers category. He must be in bed with Rebecca Peters who was instrumental in disarming the Aussies. The gun control crowd is dangerous. |

| #8 ....and all the others are outside of one standard deviation..... |

| #7 No surprise. Everybody knows that 67.5% of statistics are made up on the spot... |

| #6 Mr. Hightower might be more effective if he led a delegation of his fellow Montgomery Countians out to Garrett County, where most of the bear hunters probably reside, to go door to door explaining in person why they should prefer to keep the hunters out and have more bears in thier lovely county. |

| #5 ...claiming that 40 percent of the sportsmen with permits to take part in the hunt are alcoholics, drug addicts or mentally unstable. Lies, damn lies and...statistics. |

| #4 Didn't Kerry tell us he was a deerhunter, despite his somewhat unusual style of crawling along the ground? |

| #3 Oooooh. Better pay attention. He's a real estate agent. Surely, he operates at a higher plain then any of us... |

| #1 I used to live in Montgomery County, MD. The average citizen there is somewhere to the left of Mao and crazier than an outhouse rat. Mr. Hightower calling hunters "mentally unstable" is an instance of pot-kettle-blackness. |
