MAIG has been getting some much deserved bad press today when it was discovered that they were “honoring” one of the Boston Bombers:
“Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older Boston Marathon bomber who was killed in a gunfight with police, was mentioned in a list of gun-violence victims who’ve died since the Newtown shooting at a Mayors Against Illegal Guns rally yesterday …”
Oops! After being picked up by national media outlets they quickly apologized:
“… “He was absolutely not a victim, his name should have been deleted before the list was provided to a family member for reading and his name should never have been read,” Mayors Against Illegal Guns said in a statement to ABC News. “It was a mistake, it should not have happened and we sincerely apologize.” …”
But wait, there’s more!
Here's another guy on #Bloomberg's victim list, he was shot by cops while threatening to kill a two-year-old girl. http://t.co/mgl6ryVSxW

My dad always said ” more money than brains is a dangerous combination “….
I swear, we could get hours of amusement from these folks by putting them in a silo and telling them to go sit in the corner.
