It's monkey see, monkey do time, now. Bob Schieffer compared 2nd amendment supporters to NAZI's. Hank Johnson says 2nd amendment supporters are racists. Roger Ebert says 2nd amendment supporters are racists. Now we have Brokaw saying 2nd amendment supporters are racists.

It's just the fax machine delivering talking points from the White House.

The calls started this morning about the NRA ad. The mantra is “No White president’s children having Secret Service protection was ever criticized”. Actually the Bush girls were.

um.... who is NOT against gun violence?

We are against disarming law-abiding citizens, which will have no affect at all on said ‘gun violence’

Brokaw owns a big spread in Montana. How many guns do you think he has there?

There are over 300 million guns in America. They are quite safe to other dangers. The gun crisis that Boama has manufactured is just a bright shiny object to cover Alkaid’s advance in northern Africa.

We’re far from silent on gun violence. Liberals just don’t like what we are saying.

Tom Brokaw has analogized people unwilling support measures aimed at limiting gun violence to ...

I missed the discussion about measures being aimed to 'limit gun violence'.
The only measures I've heard discussed is how to prevent law abiding citizens from exercising their second Amendment rights. Discussions on how to disarm the law abiding citizenry. No discussions that I am aware of on how to dissuade gang bangers and inner city youths and criminals from shooting up folks. These day to day crimes dwarf those committed by the occasional, and freak event, lunatic.
Preach the fear of God and the judgment to come? Nah, just disarm the citizens and provide armed guards for the royals...

No one is criticizing the protection for the President's children. The whole point is that the hypocritical demagogue in the White House wants to deny American parents the same right to protect their own children.

As for the racial suggestions? The problem here is that American minorities have been stripped of their racial pride, by demagogues, seeking to instill hatred & resentment rather than pride in honest effort, in order to control them as voting blocks. Do not fall into the trap of letting them make race--that is human heredity & the continuity of peoples--into something ugly. The ugliness comes in the process of substituting blame & envy for honest effort & pride in personal achievement.

The Left has been pursuing a terribly vicious end game strategy, at least since 2000, and too many Conservatives are playing into their hands, by responses that miss the essential nature of the tactics to which they are responding.

For an argument in point, see Blame & Envy Cocktail.

Here’s the deal: If the gerbalists keep their mitts off the 2nd, they can keep their 1st.
Otherwise all bets are off .... (ominous minor chord)
