least rational oped to date

[gejohnston]

at least that I have found.
Basically it says Wayne, Mitt, and Obama are accomplices. Oh yeah, it says I am too.
Look, this clown can shit on Wayne, the NRA, and Mitt all he wants but leave Obama out if it.

I agree with the editorial.

5. Barack Obama = Wayne LaPierre? ok. nt

[Warren Stupidity]

6. Those are your words.

[gejohnston]

7. you didn't read it closely did you?

That is what it amounted to.

[hack89]

8. Lets look closely at the oped shall we?

Standing at Holmes’ side ...... was Wayne LaPierre

Standing at Holmes’ side ..... were Barack Obama and Mitt Romney

Looks pretty clear to me.

11. Me too. Looks like the NY Daily News ed. board is letting their TaliBanner flag fly...

9. Which brings up a question, one I asked in another thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/117254092

While you are perfectly free to treat gun owners like Pamela Geller treats Muslims, consider this:

(And when I say "like Pamela Geller treats Muslims" I mean claiming the actions of the criminal minority is indicative of the majority, while simultaneously 'knowing' how the entire group thinks)

Legal gun owners constitute about 22-25% of the entire US population. And being legal gun owners, they are all old enough to vote.
And they do so, at a rate higher than the population as a whole. "Fine", you might say "we can still do without them".

But here's the nub of the gist-being +/- 25% of the population, that means as a group they are larger than:

*Asian-Americans
*African-Americans
*Hispanics
*GLBT people
*Union members

So, while you, personally may be willing to do without their votes- are you going to grasp the nettle and demand Democrats as a whole do without their votes?

10. Obama = Romney. Isnt that a TOS violation?

[Hoyt]

3. I'd blame a lot of people before Obama, but that is not irrational at all.

Did not read it all, but it seems to capture how I feel about this in many respects.

12. I could make a really snarky reply to your post ...

but i will simply agree that the article does indeed reflect your viewpoint.

[Hoyt]

13. I can imagine. Go ahead if you like.

[spin]

16. I always try be polite. In some ways that may be a good thing ...

as I have a concealed weapons permit and I carry.

14. Hoyt's just mad because he's a prohibited person

15. He's just envious --

but he is still cute and good for a laugh or two.

[rrneck]

4. Wow

You usually have to handle a snake to hear a sermon like that.

[shadowrider]

17. First, this writer has no clue what an assault rifle is

Second, what do a movie theater, shopping mall, school and university have in common?

[4th law of robotics]

20. I know I know! Pick me!

They are all designated gun-free zones and hence have never ever ever had a shooting there because bringing a gun in to murder people would be against the law. And murderers are loathe to break 2 laws at the same time.

21. You win todays prize. Tell 'em what he's won Jethro n/t

[ileus]

18. I bet they get worked up over kittens in trees also.

More of the "I blame the guns and NRA" bs you hear from everyone that doesn't even know what a firearm looks like.

19. Is there any blood left over for Holmes' hands?

From the op-ed he would seem to be a victim as well.
