| Update On Bogus “Poll” Of NRA Members |
| Friday, February 19, 2010 |
|
On Dec. 11, 2009, we noted that a poll paid for by anti-gun politician-activist Michael Bloomberg, claiming to show that NRA members support gun control, was conducted by a pollster who has been reprimanded and censured by two professional polling organizations, and who (of course) doesn’t have access to NRA’s confidential member list. Since then, gun control supporters have cited the poll in numerous newspaper editorials, opinion columns, and letters to editors, all attacking NRA’s opposition to gun control. Recently, however, Bloomberg’s pollster, Frank Luntz, admitted how he gets polls to turn out the way his employers want. In a “Penn and Teller” interview posted on YouTube, Luntz says, “The key in survey research is to ask questions that people care about the answers [sic], and to ask the question in a way that you get the right answer.” He added, “[W]ith just a single change of wording, you’ll get a very different reaction in terms of how they think and how they feel.” Thanks, Frank, for making it easier for us to write letters to newspapers pointing out why no one should take your “poll of NRA members” seriously. |
If the anti-gun group has to stoop to deception, then their cause is factless and baseless, therefore, it has no merit.
And if they have to sacrifice the law-abiding to the criminal element in order to empower the government through citizen disarmament, it doesn't matter to them one dang bit.
Remember what Stalin said about omelettes.
That pretty much covers every liberal/Progressive/communist position.
I thought Luntz was a Republican pollster. Apparently he’s just a whore. Wise up, FOX.
Of course, whether the poll was pure unadulterated BS or not dosen’t matter to the NSM, all that matters is they now have a poll they can trumpet all over the place about what ‘rank and file’ NRA members want, blah, blah, blah.
Forget about whether it’s true or not.
The urge to save humanity is always a false front for the urge to rule it.

Frank Luntz? That blubbering fat boy? Seen his “panels” on FOX News, he does know how to push poll for sure.
He's a whore pretending to be a Republican. It's actually pretty common in Washington.
Dictatorships cannot be imposed on an armed populace. That’s why the left has worked so long and hard to overturn the 2nd amendment.
