Probably a liberal. But he owns and knows how to use a shotgun...so, maybe not.

He's also married...to a woman.

But only a liberal could get angry that easy...liberals are always angry...at everything.

Man shoots TV over Bristol Palin's "Dancing" success

(Reuters) - A Wisconsin man angry at the success of Bristol Palin on "Dancing with the Stars" blasted his TV with a shotgun as she waltzed her way into the program's finals.

Steven Cowan's violent outburst came amid a heated debate over Palin's survival on the TV dance competition show despite weeks of low scores.

Critics say the 20 year-old is benefiting from the popularity of her politician mother, Sarah Palin, with the largely older, female viewers of the program. Each week the dancers are judged by a panel of experts and then voted upon by viewers, and based on a combination of scores and ballots, one contestant is voted off.

According to a criminal complaint obtained by The Smoking Gun website on Wednesday, Cowan's wife Janice told police her husband was watching Bristol Palin dancing Monday night when he "jumped up and swore...Steven was upset that a political figure's daughter was on this show when Steven did not think that she was a good dancer."

Cowan, 67, then took his shotgun and fired a round into the TV screen, triggering a 15-hour stand-off with police in the small town of Vermont, Wisconsin. He surrendered and was charged with reckless endangerment and use of a dangerous weapon, according to the complaint.

Actually, this falls a lot more in line with the rash of Glenn Beck fans grabbing their guns after he gets them riled up.

This guy is real mental case. If he didn't like Bristle so much he should shut TV, not shoot in it. And person with this mental state have a gun? Who in the right mind would sell the gun to total psycho? Some people take their likes and dislikes of celebrities to extream.

An NRA member.


Thank you, lax Republican gun laws. And people wonder why I don't miss the Midwest one damn bit.

Some NRA members would go so far as argue that even people on terror watch lists should be able to walk into any gun store and walk out with a gun, no questions asked.
