You call that critiquing a misleading ad? What kind of leftist stooge are? Factcheck uses the fat, lying cadaver Ted Kennedy to assure readers that his ammo ban, which Ears voted for, was not what the NRA claimed it was. I take it you know very little about guns and ammunition.
Factcheck also did not bother to quote Obama's past very well. Instead relying largely on his claims during the campaign. One look at this quote from Audacity of Dope should be enough to tell any thinking person what a gun-grabbing, lying sack of poop Obama is.
I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities, and that our leaders must say so in the face of the gun manfuacturer’s lobby. But I also believe that when a gangbanger shoots indiscriminately into a crowd because he feels someone disrespected him, we have a problem of morality. Not only do ew need to punish thatman for his crime, but we need to acknowledge that there’s a hole in his heart, one that government programs alone may not be able to repair.
or this from his debate with Alan Keyes...
I think it is a scandal that this president did not authorize a renewal of the assault weapons ban.
There are lots more, sparky. And for you to defend Factcheck as evenhanded is the height of absurdity. Then the proof in the pudding was selecting the racist, gun grabbing POS Holder as AG.
Sorry that "kicked the bucket" is offensive to your well trained Politcally Correct ears. In the rest of America, it is common jargon.
BTW, post 190 demonstrates what a left wing organization Annenburg really is, beyond all doubt. Though, undoubtedly, your KOS buddies see it differently.
Yes. The NRA ad was somewhat misleading in places, but no more than most political ads, and I think factcheck was pretty objective in critiquing it.
Factcheck uses the fat, lying cadaver Ted Kennedy to assure readers that his ammo ban, which Ears voted for, was not what the NRA claimed it was.
They quote Ted Kennedy, but they also clearly acknowledge that it is possible that the bill could be interpreted by future administrations to ban hunting ammunition in the future:
"We grant that it is a theoretical possibility that some future administration could interpret Kennedy’s language as banning common hunting ammunition, despite Kennedy’s clear statement of intent to the contrary."
They realize the NRA has a point, and they admit it. Of course, they add:
"But we judge the likelihood of that to be vanishingly small, given the outcry that would surely follow."
I happen to disagree with that statement. However, they are very clear that it is their judgment, not a fact. As far as presenting facts goes, it's difficult to find anything to criticize in the article.
Factcheck also did not bother to quote Obama's past very well. Instead relying largely on his claims during the campaign.
Actually, that's not true at all. Did you even bother to read the factcheck article? They do in fact bring up many statements Obama made in the past.
They didn't quote his debate with Keyes, but they do aknowledge that the NRA ad is correct on Bambi's position on so-called assault weapons:
" It states Obama's positions on concealed weapons and on semi-automatic 'assault weapons' reasonably accurately."
They even put "assault weapons" in scare quotes! Do you know of a single lefty organization that acknowledges that the legal definition of "assault weapon" is arbitrary?
On the whole, I'd say the factcheck piece is a pretty even-handed, objective analysis of the NRA's ad. It acknowledges where the ad is accurate, and it identifies places where it is misleading. I don't agree with all of the factcheck piece, but in terms of presenting facts, I can't find much fault with it.
Now in your small, ultra-partisan mind you are probably going to claim I'm a gun-grabber because I agree with some of factcheck's criticism of the ad. You would, of course, be wrong, as I am an NRA supporter.
I realize people like you cannot fathom the possibility that supporting an organization does not mean having to defend every single ad it purchases or agreeing with every single thing it says. But such is life. Subtlety is not your forte, I know.
