Fox News Reports Maryland Candidate Equates Gun Owners as Moral Equivalent of Maryland Sniper!

[xzins]

Just heard on Fox News that Maryland (governor?) candidate went ahead with ads and link the Maryland Sniper to Gun Ownership.

This amounts to the claim that Maryland Gun Owners are no better morally than the Maryland Sniper. They have no better intent than the Maryland Sniper. They are no better citizens than the Maryland Sniper.

What an idiot.

[Saundra Duffy]

I saw that! Good grief! P.S. What's the rapist's worst nightmare? A woman with a gun! Another question: What's the terrorist's worst nightmare? An armed citizenry! For victory & freedom!!!

[Callahan]

I think I know the ad you're talking about, unless there is a new one that's even worse. Just the usual, run-of-the-mill demonization tactics to scare the succer moms.

[Ciexyz]

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend's campaign. Demo-puke tactics.

[cajungirl]

Come on,,did she truly say that,,I cannot believe it,,who is advising this babe?

[Callahan]

I think I know the ad you're talking about, unless there is a new one that's even worse. Just the usual, run-of-the-mill demonization tactics to scare the succer moms.

[Jzen]

That would be KKT. I live in the area, and she is a total anti-gunner. She is calling for a database for ballistic fingerprinting in all of Maryland.

[dead]

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend's campaign.

What’s the major difference between Kathleen Kennedy Townsend’s uncle and the vast majority of legal gun owners?

Most legal gun owners haven’t killed anybody.

[Mark Felton]

This person is a bigot!

[AngryAmerican]

Hell, she would even vote to outlaw the shotgun formation in the NFL if she could.

[Sender]

What's Maryland's worst nightmare? Another KENNEDY spawn with a public office!

[OXENinFLA]

This is getting (or is already) out of hand.

Why can't bleeding heart liberals see that if someone is going to kill he/she will find ANYTHING to accomplish a murder.

Guns give us law abiding citizenry the ability to defend them selves against murders and THE GOV'T, yes the gov't. Once the people have no guns what's next NO MORE PROPERTY RIGHTS?

oh wait that is already happening in NYC.

[Hodar]

I have a hammer in my toolbox .... so I would then assume that I'm the moral equivalent of Ted Bundy?

[HELLRAISER II]

I hate to wish something bad on anybody, but people that think like this need to be put into a position where's it turn the other cheek & be hurt, raped and/or killed or kill your attacker. Only then will they fully understand what we already take for granted. In two words I can sum up what she is, a Dumb $hit!

[Mr. K]

I think it would be wonderful if a properly (and legally...?) equipped citizen would spot him in the act and shoot him.

The irony would be as juicy as a 2 inch thick prim cut filet mignon....

[theophilusscribe]

I thought I heard on the news that gun sales in MD/VA were up—5 times the norm.

If true, this is an incredibly bad move on KKT's part, and may actually help the Republicans.

[Sender]

I heard part of her audio ad on Rush yesterday. The announcer said her opponent had stated "that he doesn't care if his neighbor wants to own and shoot semi-automatic weapons", as if that were some kind of horrifying statement. I'm surprised KKT didn't claim he stomped puppies. What a witch.

[Madcelt]

What an idiot.

That is a slight understatement. Hey glock, used your graph. (preciate it.)

[republicman]

Time for Maryland gun owners to get out there and vote.

[Jzen]

Hell, she would even vote to outlaw the shotgun formation in the NFL if she could.

Lol, don't give them any ideas.

[N. Theknow]

Relax Mz. Townsend. Unlike your family there are people who can drive, ski, fly AND properly handle a firearm.

[ArrogantBustard]

I bet you also have a car. Does that make you the moral equivalent of Ted Kennedy?

[B Knotts]

This could backfire in a big way, if gun owners know how to work the issue right.

Hint: OUTRAGE!

[concerned about politics]

That means ALL gays have AIDS.
ALL Democrats are flaiming whores.
Abortionists are a sex toy for ALL Democrats.
ALL enviornmentalists are an ELF domestic terrorist member.
ALL animal lovers are members of the domestic terrorist group ALF as well.
ALL democrats are drug dependant.
ALL Democrats are incapable of caring for themselves and are homeless losers.
ALL female Democrats are manly dykes.
ALL Democrat voters are crimminals.
ALL Democrats support terrorism in the name of "peace."

[cajungirl]

Dont forget the Captain of the USS Oldsmobile!

[Jzen]

Last I checked, recent polls show.

46% would vote for KKT. 45% would vote for Ehrlich

It is a close race.

[dead]

The announcer said her opponent had stated "that he doesn't care if his neighbor wants to own and shoot semi-automatic weapons", as if that were some kind of horrifying statement.

I didn’t hear Rush, but that sounds like Lautencelli’s ad against Doug Forrester in NJ, unless they’re both using the exact same language.

I saw the ad yesterday, and my only reaction was “So?”

[Conagher]

If that is the case, then Ms. Townsend, as she advocates the prohibition of guns, is the moral equivalent of Adolph Hitler.

It cuts both ways, folks!

[MP5]

Hell, she would even vote to outlaw the shotgun formation in the NFL if she could.

LOL! Can I use that?

[xzins]

Honestly. Read the thread...apparently some have already seen the ad. It links gun ownership and the Maryland Sniper.

It's like linking being a medical researcher with being THE anthrax letter killer. ("Hi, you a medical researcher? Yes. Why do you want to murder people with anthrax?")

I can't believe that the non-gun owning relatives of gun owners in Maryland would put up with this kind of crappy thinking on a candidate's part. How can you elect such a shallow thinker to any kind of office that lets her make real, live, people-impacting decisions.

[katana]

Bravo !

[Rebelbase]

If anyone finds an online link to this commercial, would you please ping me there?

[concerned about politics]

I thought I heard on the news that gun sales in MD/VA were up—5 times the norm.

Cool. That's great. The more the merrier.
People are scared of terrorism. They should be armed to the teeth.

[ArrogantBustard]

she would even vote to outlaw the shotgun formation in the NFL

Maybe not, Kooky Katie gets excited when the Ravens use it to score a football.

OBTW, she's running some ad ranting about how that horrid Erlich voted against banning "assault weapons", and a bunch of other stuff. Makes me want to go back to the PGDRM and vote for him.

[ko_kyi]

BRILLIANT

[Madcelt]

ping! Good Morning My Friend!

[BonnieJ]

You're right, killers use any implement available. Consider KKT's cousin, who used a golf club! And her uncle, a car. Her cousin, a plane (well, that was simply criminal negligence but it still took away a family's two lovely daughters). And her father and uncle (according to Joe DiMaggio & others) used pills to kill a Hollywood legend. Then there was the jogger in a D.C. park who was about to give a press conference about her affair with JFK who died by strangling I believe. No guns are required for so many murders...she ought to know that all too well, in spite of the tragedly of her 2 assassinated relatives she exploits shamelessly.

[Norma]

The problem in MD is that the LEGAL gun owners in MD mostly live in the Republican strongholds not in the liberal DC Dem strongholds.I must say it is really nice when traveling to Baltimore City to see the Democrats for Ehrlich campaigning everywhere. I just hope this holds up on election day!

[TexasRepublic]

Most politicians are the moral equivalent of prostitutes. (with apologies to the prostitutes)

[theophilusscribe]

Think they are starting to get the picture that the government can't always protect them?

That would certainly be a renaissance for MD, wouldn't it! LOL!

[BallandPowder]

Powder..Patch..Ball FIRE!

46% would vote for KKT. 45% would vote for Ehrlich It is a close race.

Then it is time for some freeper donations to Ehrlich to show this biatch that she can't get away with statements like that.

If anyone can post Ehrlich's website I'm gonna make a donation.

[xzins]

with apologies to the prostitutes

It's always good to be honest and polite to the innocent. LOL!!

[erikm88]

I just read on packing.org that its nearly impossible to obtain a CCW in MD, any MD gun owners care to share horror stories about obtaining a CCW in MD?

If this ninny is elected... I'd be careful...

No joke. DRAW-FIRE-AIM. Bandage foot.

[Governor]

Didn't Sarah Brady buy her son a deer rifle in MD, breaking
several laws and was never charged?

[theophilusscribe]

We can only hope she'll be "walking with a limp" after this election. LOL!

[mvpel]

Miss Kennedy will discover very quickly what Jennifer Granholm discovered in Michigan - making hatred of guns and gun owners a central feature in your campaign is a sure way to hand at least 60% of the vote to your opponent.

[Kenton]

That means ALL gays have AIDS. ALL Democrats are flaiming whores. Abortionists are a sex toy for ALL Democrats. ALL enviornmentalists are an ELF domestic terrorist member. ALL animal lovers are members of the domestic terrorist group ALF as well. ALL democrats are drug dependant. ALL Democrats are incapable of caring for themselves and are homeless losers. ALL female Democrats are manly dykes. ALL Democrat voters are crimminals. ALL Democrats support terrorism in the name of "peace."

Let me take issue with this. ALL Democrat voters are NOT criminals. Many are simply misguided fools. The rest looks OK to me, though.

[philetus]

If Maryland gun owners are" no better than the sniper", than gun owners every where are "no better than the sniper".

This is a very good example of what the polititions think of the general public.
