He’s also a primary, if almost unrecognized, reason why Democrats, in a little less than a decade, have turned this once-red state a deepening shade of blue. While Colorado has changed, Brown—Colorado politicos know him as just plain “Dudley”—has not. Nor does he intend to. The RMGO’s demand of “no compromises” on gun rights is an indirect shot at the National Rifle Association, which Brown sees as too willing to cut gun control deals. (The disdain is mutual; the NRA once called Brown the “Al Sharpton of the gun movement,” too extreme for America’s most notorious firearm lobby.)

Brown pauses when I ask him what kind of salary he earns. “$70,000,” he eventually says, seemingly uncertain. Others familiar with his organizations say they think it’s closer to $300,000 a year, possibly more. Republicans who take issue with Brown say they believe money, more than any political issue, is what truly motivates him. A decade ago, when Brown was attacking Governor Owens over the gun show loophole legislation, Owens’ ally Sean Tonner fought back. He found out about the controlled substance and assault charges and decided to inform NAGR’s membership about Brown’s past. “We’d gotten postcards from people on his mailing list, so I mailed them back directly with a backgrounder on who Dudley was,” Tonner says. “That’s how you hurt him: Hit his pocketbook.”

Good article. Long, but gives an accurate idea of who Dudley really is.

Sticky??


“All Dudley wanted to do was create controversy. He makes his money when there’s turmoil, real or perceived, because that’s what gets his members to write him checks.”

I'm sure that this was written by Eli Stokols isn't helping paint a good picture either.

Eli has been working on this story for a long time. Kudos Eli! Maybe some of the nitwits who give money to Dudley will see it and wise up.

portrays himself as a supposed ‘Christian,’ but he uses the people naive enough to believe him and financially support him.

Not that I like Dudley or anything, but this line cracked me up. Isn't that how Christianity works, by using people naive enough to believe them and financially support them?

Wonder where that BCMEAG user is that was supporting RMGO in the other thread?

i knew he made alot more money than he makes believe. and i allways said he sells fear. he sells fear to the masses.

Sounds like you guys hate RMGO more than you hate the Democraps.........I guess that's a feeling I don't & never will understand, maybe I'm just not as "in the know" as everyone else here about Browns sins.
