Discussion: NRA Spox Doesn't Hold Back In CPAC Speech: Media 'Love Mass Shootings'

The NRA loves mass shootings as well. Once guns are in the news, fundraising goes through the roof and gun shops run out of stock. As far as the NRA is concerned there could be one every week.

If we could just move CPAC to a smaller neighborhood theater…

Isn’t Loesch media, too? Performer on talk radio? Where does she get off blasting “media?”

Is it OK now to yell at her and call her a murderer? Complicit in murder? How about a disgusting fucking bitch?

ETA: After reading the presidential tweet, I see that I’m supposed to call her a Great American Patriot. My mistake, you disgusting fucking bitch - and that goes for you, too, Ms. Loesch.

I’m watching Wayne L. right now. Extremely disturbing stuff. Apparently the NRA solution is more armed guards because “we guard our airports, our NBA games, our politicians, and hollywood but we dont guard our kids or schools”. Just sheer craziness.

All about the spike in sales - making the NRA’s sponsors (gun manufacturers) happy and rich - and keeping their spigot of money flowing to the NRA. Seems like there is a profit motive per standing in the way of any meaningful gun control legislation.

She’s not blasting the media, she’s only blasting “the legacy media.”

As in long standing established as opposed to upstart fringe outfits like brietbart and, say, NRA TV.

Orwellian turn of phrase.

And the issue continues to cause more discord and division in the US - so the Russian money continues to flow in, too.

When all you have is a gun, every problem looks like a target.

If they claim the media love school shootings then wouldn’t the suits at the networks have data on this. “Hey Newtown boosted our Nielsen share by 1.5!”

This is why CNN should not have invited her to their forum. Loesch is not a good-faith actor in these debates. She is a corrupt lizard that will say or do anything to prevent any advancement of gun control. She should not be afforded the respect of being treated as a valuable contributor to this national debate.

Wayne La Pierre’s speech was textbook straw man argument. The straw man in this case being “Socialism”. You see, Obama and his Socialist holdovers want to first take away your 2nd ammendment rights which would then allow “them”, undeterred by righteous civilian militias, to take away “all your other rights.” That’s right, all of 'em!

I continue to be amazed that almost every ranting CPAC speech will also namecheck Saul Alinsky. As a lifelong Liberal and card carrying member of the ACLU I have only the vaguest familiarity with Alinsky (Activist? Socialist? Academic?)

Color me cynical, but I’d bet money the network suits do have this information. And gleefully rub their hands behind closed doors.

Even worse: He was a Community Organizer, and we know how the Rs hate them.

99% of liberals only know about Alinsky because at some point a conservative has accused them of attempting to follow or apply his “rules.”

And yes, as always, this is projection, whether the redhats themselves know it or not.
