Quote of the day by Dianne Feinstein
Dianne Feinstein: "All vets are mentally ill and government should prevent them from owning firearms"
Yep, - she really said it on Thursday in a meeting in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. . and the quote below from the LA Times is priceless.
Some times even the L.A. Times gets it right.
Kurt Nimmo: "Senator Feinstein insults all U.S. Veterans as she flays about in a vain attempt to save her bill."
Quote of the Day from the Los Angeles Times:
"Frankly, I don't know what it is about California , but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I'm not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine , even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington , we're Number One. There's no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Maxine Waters, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on 'Macbeth'.
The four of them are like jennyasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don't know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words."

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Kinda' funny how that works; EVERY vet I know -and there are quite a few- will tell you that they think Feinstein is mentally ill and the gov't -excluding the Armed Forces- should not be allowed to own firearms [;)]
As a Combat Veteran, I believe that Dianne Feinstein is mentally ill and I think the Government should prevent her from being in Congress. In fact I find her presence in congress an insult to every Citizen in this country.
If it was not for the perverted sicko liberals in the district she so aptly represents I doubt she would get 10 votes.
She has her CCW though. So she must be pro gun, right?
A significant portion of gun accidents result in self-inflicted wounds- since she evidently has a CCW, we can hope; and may even benefit- has anyone considered setting up a lottery/pool where entrants pick the time and type of injury? I'd pick 1AM on a Sunday morning, shot in the glutes maximus.
It's hard enough to keep tabs on the politicians (and Feinstein is the enemy, no doubt about it) without howling from the rooftops everytime someone sends a bogus chain-email which claims something to be true that clearly isn't.
To say it plainly: It makes us all look like a bunch of *.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but she never said that in front of the judiciary committee.

You're right, she didn't.....but she probably wanted to.

".this adds an exemption of retired military. As I understand our bill, no issue has arose in this regard during the 10 years the expired ban was effect. and what we did in the other bill was exempt possession by the United States or a department or agency of the United States. that included active military. The problem with expanding this is that you know with the advent of PTSD, which I think is a new phenomenon as a product of the Iraq War, it's not clear how the seller or transferrer of a firearm covered by this bill would verify that an individual was a member, or a veteran, and that there was no impairment of that individual with respect to having a weapon like this. So you know I would be happy to sit down with you again and see if we could work something out but I think we have to - if you're going to do this, find a way that veterans who are incapacitated for one reason or another mentally don't have access to this kind of weapon."
What she actually said, then, is that there is no reason to grant special exemptions for retired military personnel, which, frankly, makes sense. Her entire premise that we should restrict the mythical assault weapon to active duty military and law enforcement is wrong, obviously. She is also terribly wrong in thinking that PTSD is a product of the Gulf War, or that it is a new phenomenon at all.
There is nothing wrong, however, with her suggestion that retired military be treated like everyone else.

The hard truth is the CA Senator, like so many in her politcal party, does not think ANYBODY should own a gun.
She is a liberal democrat held in high prestige by a state full of liberals. Liberals conception of the military and those who serve are well known and negative.
The hard truth is the CA Senator, like so many in her politcal party, does not think ANYBODY, except her, should own a gun.
California and NY have the same problem with politics. Higher population in the cities than in the rural areas.
There are many conservative people in both states. People that believe in, support and defend The Constitution. The problem is, we are severely outnumbered.
The user is usually ignorant beyond any shadow of a doubt.

Yes'ir it does, all day long. I lived with the N. Idaho stigma until they were wiped out like a nest of vermin.
Clouder..

In truth, it sure seems all politicians are mentally ill and a great many are sex addicts too.
[;)]
I am a sex addict
can I be a politician?
Yes, but we won't like you anymore.
I'm a vet and I'm not mentally ill ... she won't be taking my guns.
Good, because she never said that or anything similar.
She's an * alright, so much so I just do not get why people feel the need to manufacture lies about an *?
Do they truly need her to be a bigger * than she already is?
She needs a swift kick in the *!
but so is the rest of the population, so it becomes moot. the only reason any person walking the earth today doesnt have a mental health diagnosis is because they havent submitted(willingly or unwillingly) to the battery of tests that end is some type of diagnosis. mental health professionals make their living treating(not curing) mental health problems. if you go see a shrink, he will inevitably check a box on your form.
servicemen dont have a choice. they are seen by military doctors whos knee jerk reaction is the ptsd button. so yeah, the vets are mentally ill, along with the rest of the population including feinstein.
I am a vet and I have some guns, so Diane, you stupid *, come and get'em.
Nah, your collection's just a "small" start. [:D]
Well, to be honest, it's a collection I don't think I'll ever be able to compete with. [;)]
DF can go pound sand up her.....................
[}:)][}:)][}:)][:(!][xx(]
Check what she really said on factcheck.org.
Agree but no way people here will do that. Too many are all wrapped up in being pissed off, they rejoice in repeating lies to feed their anger.
The actual anti-gunner behavior is not difficult to combat. The delusional rants of pro-gunners help feed the fear of the anti-gun side, cost us votes and support.
I am far more concerned that gun rights will be lost by acts of right wing extremist delusional political suicide than by what the anti-gunners normally attempt in real life.
Small first steps; one thing at a time.
Start denying rights to someone because of a perceived incapacity, then all you need to do is continue to add more and more parameters to that perception until no one is left out.
I grunt, you fart.[:D]

You really need to read what the dingbat said.
She was arguing against the exemption from the AWB for retired military personnel. She is not signaling out anyone for the denial of rights; she wants that right denied to everybody.

It is also true that factcheck.org is a rabidly left-wing, Democrat mouthpiece; it can be expected to cherrypick quotes to cast Feinstein in a favorable light.
It's also true that the minutes of Senate Judiciary Hearings are freely available online.
Slamming the truth, because the truth happened to be pointed out by someone on the other side, doesn't help us.

Chris, people will and do check stuff that gets posted here. There are at least three posters that know this is a BS story. Not all here drink the koolaid, from either party.
If it was easy to defeat the "anti-gunners", the battle would be over by now.
Guys, PLEASE, when you get wind of something scandalous about THEM, again, PLEASE, verify the story before spreading it. The reputation you save could be your own. [:)]
