Not sure you get it— this is a revelation to the “natural food” nouveau hippies who voted for obama—assured that their “business” would not be hurt by the progressive agenda. There is also a subset of the “natural foods” types who are discovering “natural” non processed foods from hunting. Like Whole Foods with rifles in the woods vs. eating at bigmacs. Think of it— hippies in the woods, shooting squirrels (like a revival of Foxfire). Ghandi, their hero, with a gun. This is hilarious, and tragic at the same time, as they also learn that Martin Luther King had an “arsenal” of firearms, was a registered Repub, and that there are black NRA members (and GOA too).
The short answer—Natural News markets with facebook to uh, a broader range of granola crunchers. Many of whom are discovering conservatism the hard way, apparently.
BTW this is not some blog I’m connected with. Posted it as diagnostic observation for FReepers. The worm turns.
I’ll have to check out that Natural News site... it sounds worthwhile.
I don’t know what got up Facebook’s backside, but the Ghandi quote is, in fact, being taken out of context. Ghandi was talking about the fact that Britain left India without a military when it was dangerously close to losing WWI to the Germans. This would have left India unable to defend itself from German takeover. When he talks about “depriving a whol nation,” he was actually referring to the nation of India, not its civilian population. Ghandi himself had no interest in owning guns or promoting personal gun ownership. Again, even though the quote is being misused, it seems like a pretty minor issue to complain about.
