Rolling Stone Crows about Using Emotion and Children to Push Irrational Agenda

Rolling Stone magazine crows about what is “different” about this iteration of the anti-Second Amendment movement. It isn't because students are involved. That has been tried before. What is different this time is those anti-Second Amendment billionaires built up a network across the nation. A network of paid activists that was ready to spring into action when the “right” emotional moment presented itself.

From rollingstone.com:

Everyone wants to know why Parkland was different. And the reason, says Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, is how quickly the community coalesced around a clear purpose: “Within hours of the shooting. We had never seen that before.”

“Typically, you see a survivor here or there or a family or a community member coming out and saying, ‘Stronger gun laws are needed,' but in this case, it was almost as though it was all the survivors, all the families, all of the community, and they were very, very clear in their call to action and it has helped keep this issue in the spotlight,” Watts says.

The other thing that has helped keep the issue in the spotlight is infrastructure Moms Demand Action, its parent organization, Everytown, and Giffords have spent the last several years putting into place – a vast network of supporters, legislative experts, PR professionals and large amounts of money available to put behind the students' spontaneous efforts.

The Rolling Stone shows that the “student movement” is only a foil for the anti-Second Amendment movement.

Progressives do not believe in persuading the electorate through rational argument. They lose those. They believe in "manufacturing consent" through propaganda.

Wait, when was Rolling Stone ever relevant? =.=

>>Progressives do not believe in persuading the electorate through rational argument. They lose those. They believe in “manufacturing consent” through propaganda. <<

They also equate LOUD with MAJORITY.

On this and so many other issues, the “silent majority” (remember them/us???) will have the final say, as they did in 2016.

Does Rolling Stone still do puff pieces on terrorists, such as they did for the Boston Marathon bomber?????

The NRA has added half a million new members in just over a month.

Just like Saul Alinsky outlined. The Leftist media is so proud of itself in spreading the sob stories around to subvert the Bill of Rights.

When featured by the mega band Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show:

I guess camera hogg will get 5 copies for his mutha.

Rolling Stone likely does not want to give much attention to the real criminals in Broward:

“Wait, when was Rolling Stone ever relevant?”

When they proudly show their cheating hearts:

“Moms Demand Action, its parent organization, Everytown, and Giffords have spent the last several years putting into place – a vast network of supporters, legislative experts, PR professionals and large amounts of money available to put behind the students’ spontaneous efforts.”

AstroTurf on steroids. Blatant emotional conscription of other people’s children for political gain, by anti-gun and anti-American zealots. What a lousy, rotten thing to do.

I know that some on the right were distressed at how quickly the agitators gained momentum but there were (are) more of us who see it for the sham it is and shrug it off.

Ultimately what all this noise does is force leftists to contemplate the pivot point: Do the value their lives as much as they value their agenda?

If they succeed in their desire to make criminals of otherwise law-abiding citizens then woe unto them for the consequences they inspire.

Lefties: Don’t bite off more than you can swallow.

Cats-paw. Not foil.

But yes.

[GOP Poet]

like the good fascists/commies that they are.

[Trillian]

These are the very same people who hurt children the most so it’s no surprise.

Who reads Rolling Stone magazine anymore? I did, maybe 30 years ago but it quite honestly felt like a 60’s relic even then. I’d imagine their subscriber base is dwindling down pretty badly, with their core audience being Boomer stoners. Has anyone younger picked up the habit of reading their magazine, or even going online to their website assuming they actually have a full-fledged site that’s comparable to their print media? I can’t tell you the last time I heard anyone reference them in any context.

[caseinpoint]

No, Shannon, it was not “all the survivors, all the families, all the community”, you and your allies made sure it was only those whose voices coincided with your agenda that was heard. Only recently have we been hearing from dissident voices among that group.

The powers that be blew off looking into the policies causing systems failures emplaced at Parkland which created conditions that allowed those murders to take place because of reasons listed below .

WAS PARKLAND AN IDYLLIC SCHOLASTIC SETTING OR A NIGHTMARE
Only an investigation will either dispel or prove that with those policies enforced. Students had all kinds of disciplinary problems (drugs, thefts fights etc) when attending classses there. Were scholistic standards lowered to fit fed DOJ grants ?
WHERE WAS THE DEMAND FOR FEDERAL AND STATE INVESTIGATIONS ????
It’ was not guns or the NRA It’s policies which had cops standing outside while killing was going on or some nut getting a gun the FBI knew he wasn’t suppose to... Plus a whole raft of other stuff
WAS THE DEMAND FOR STATE AND FED INVESTIGATION ON THE POLICIES WHICH CAUSED THIS NOT CONSIDERED BY FLORIDA POLS BECAUSE THE RESULT WOULD BE LAW SUITS AGAINST THE STATE ???
