2. My god, but these people are nuttier than fruitcakes! |
|
I absolutely LOVED how Schuster went after that guy!
Fucking George Bush eviscerated this country, and yet these people are scared of OBAMA?
Fuckwads!

14. What is scary is that their listeners *really* believe all that crap. |
|
I had to leave a local message board that echoed almost word-for-word all of the loony wingnut talking points. They hear it. They believe it. That's it.

6. I don't see anything wrong with owning a gun for protection but... |
|
how many different types and amounts of makes and models of "protection" does one need????
I also fail to see how killing police officers is a legitimate means of showing a resistance to an idea of government banning guns. Don't these people realize that even if radical conservatives formed a militia they'd be no match for the American military???? Guess they should've thought twice about voting for politicians that pumped billions upon billions upon billions of taxpayer's dollars into the military; that would be a heavy dose of poetic irony.

7. The guy who did the shooting was |
|
a nut case why not leave it at that. Sorry to say but this seems quite childish and even corny Its like the argument how rap music, movies, t.v and video games cause such violence. It takes a nut job to go off the deep end to cause any crime, not media or video games.

8. Why didn't they give the 6 PM time slot to Shuster? |
|
He's so good when he goes after someone. One of the best interviews during the campaign season was him tearing 'Joe the Plumber' apart.

15. A picture of Obama was hung in a local gunshop... |
|
and the owner says his sales went up. He went as far as to say "Obama was their best salesmen." Gun violence, America's homegrown terror.

Which the guy in the clip claimed. If that were the case there would be more cases of people on the left carrying out massacres, whch tends to be repupblicans and is shown in stats.

These NRA types are true believers. I know a guy, have known him all my life, that has gone clear off the deep end over these fears of President Obama. Hillary already made a public remark that the gun lobby is too strong for her to stop assault weapons ownership. Now what don't they understand about that?

21. From what backwoods hillbilly heaven did they snag that Gottlieb character? |
|
Geez. Obama said... Hillary Clinton said...
Every time Gottlieb was asked to prove his remarks he'd switch gears and do a Palin by avoiding the question. They have no facts. Just politically-motivated fear-mongering. And people are getting killed by it.
Like Turborama said, it'd be funny if it wasn't for the fact that a lot of people think like Gottlieb.

23. Mexican drug gangs get their firearms from the USA |
|
Secretary Clinton was absolutely right to highlight this issue on the occasion of her recent visit to Mexico.
The fact is - you are much less likely to get shot if you live in a country with tougher gun control laws.
The intentional homicide rate in the USA is around 4 or 5 times higher than in other developed countries where fewer people own guns (like Western Europe, Canada ...). Thousands of Americans are paying the price with their lives.

24. God, that segment was annoying |
|
The second amendment guy was throwing too much nonsense out there and Shuster spent too much time on him. Just because someone has a different POV doesn't make it any less valid, but if the POV can't stand on it's own 2 legs then it should not be expressed in a dialog. I'm sorry, but this guy belongs on the street corner holding up the sign like Korvas in Watchmen than on a TV network!
And what is this Hillary related crap? Guns being smuggled into Mexico from the US is a huge problem and the gun industry needs to get its act together and stop focusing on short-term shareholder/pavlovian results!
FYI: Bush and KBR build those FEMA concentration camps. Where were these gun nuts when those were being proposed? Oh that's right! They were FOR them since the purpose of those 'camps' (Immigrant detention centers) was to hold BROWN PEOPLE (and later opponents of the Bush regime)! Now they're all in a tizzy because it might be THEIR ass in the shitcan! though, given the economy, those camps aren't very cost-effective so i put the liklihood of Obama using them on a long-term basis (over 3 months) at about 0.

25. Didn't that Gottlieb fella try to sell me a used car last week? Yea, I think so. Sure looks like'em |
|
Thank god the polls, even today, show that these 25% in America are continuing to lose ground. Probably is, when they get desperate, they get all 'Waco' on us. I sure hope the FBI and the Secret Service are continuing to hire and keep an eye on all of the domestic nutjobs out there.
