Damage Control

HighballHighball Member Posts: 15,755
Wayne la peeair was just on Fox news..as Fox did a piece n the stalwart 'gun fighter'...fighting for all our gun rights.


It would be funny...if it wasn't so ludicrous. The NRA has been severely damaged in the last months...with yet more to come as they no doubt endorse Reid.

The 'conservative' media rallies to the side of the NRA, to buck up their Quisling leader..thereby convincing wavering members that they are on the side of God, apple pie, and motherhood.
What a fracking joke.

    Wayne needs some damage control right about now since word is getting out that he labeled Harry Reid a "champion" of the 2nd Amendment.


    Gun owners continuing to support the NRA is beginning to look like the battered-woman's syndrome of politics.

    I expect that the NRA is pleased as hell. Their version of Amendment II has been codified into constitutional law by the SCROTUS in the 'Heller' and 'McDonald' rulings.

    Fertile ground for the NRA to launch new fund-raising efforts in the 'fight' for our Second Amendment privileges, now that the SCROTUS has ruled that 'shall not be infringed' actually means 'reasonable infringement is fine'.

    And so it continues.

    The establishment will protect its own conduit for slow-selling diminished gun-rights and the slack-jawed slobbering NRA zombies will continue to argue that we would have no gun rights at all, if not for the NRA.

    Wayne and Chris will be off on Safari again, or off to the Wittington Center to rub elbows with the rich and powerful who they invite to join them there and please, for God's sake, don't forget the NRA-Elite joining the political-elite on the cocktail circuit in Washington DC, where further constitutional erosions soon to be foisted on the 'a'merican people can be discussed and guffawed about, over drinks and cigars.

    The NRA has been on my "fecal-Excrement List" the day they lobbied agaisnt CCW in Illinois when the proposed legislation didn't include poopcago. The denizens of THAT particular useless wasteland do NOT deserve the Freedom that the US Constitution enumerates. They are the WORST sort of wastes-of-flesh that exists. LaPierre put his eggs in the WRONG basket there.

    Seems funny to me that this forum on this website is the only place in the gun hobby community that I have found that has this anti NRA stance. Sponsored by the Democratic Party??

    Perhaps it is because we do not see the RTKBA as a 'hobby'.[:(!]


    Yet another shining example of why the RTKBA has gone to s--t.

    I think the NRA is getting like AARP...too worried about all the crap they sell to do what is right. They vacated opposition on the Disclose Act after garnering a waiver for themselves...like some special interest prostitute. And lamely try to excuse their abandonment of an attack on the freedom of speech since it didn't apply to them or guns specifically. Then they muzzle their board and vacate an invitation to testify against Kagen at the confirmation. And now they champion Harry Reid. I won't be renewing my membership.

    Interestingly, NRA Radio (on Sirius/XM a 9:00 PM Eastern) was playing a re-run of Cam Edwards this past Monday. The show being played had originally aired just after the recent primaries. The exact words escape me now, but the substance of his discussion was that he does not take rights individually, and that he finds those who protect one right and not the others to be lacking.

    Following the NRA / House deal on the Disclose Act, he jumped right into line with LaPerri?r and Co spouting the party line that the NRA exists for the 2nd and its members, and cannot afford to expend any effort regarding the rights of others.

    Turncoat co-conspirators, one and all.
    Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.

Oh what a tangled web we weave.... quote:There are those who say the NRA should put the Second Amendment at risk over a First Amendment principle. That's easy to say-unless you have a sworn duty to protect the Second Amendment above all else, as we do.More gabble...The Constitution is a pawn to be used by the NRA to jockey for proper position so that the NRA can fulfill its 'sworn duty' to protect the Second Amendment....But wait, they do NOT protect the Second Amendment.

Non-partisan....yeah, they support both wings of the globalist-collectivist party, to be sure. Hell, they even donated money to Harry Reid, ran a big support article in their rag and will likely endorse him for reelection. There are hundreds of other examples of their support for Democrat and Republican candidates that are clearly anti-Amendment II. Yep...non-partisan... quote:We do not represent the interests of other organizations.One of the first true statements in their pablum spew...The NRA in fact does not represent other organizations.

    The NRA, Quisling Organization and facilitator of the slow erosion of our fundamental enumerated rights.

    [:D]It is funny and telling how the republican telemedia hasent made a peep about the NRA backing H. Reid... and if that isnt news worthy I dont know what is..

    This on top of Rush saying no republican had anything to do with stimulus or single payer health care pretty much solidifies fox is little or no better then NBC in a lot of ways..


    I was talking to a lady yesterday, we got to talking politics, she said while she was at work, Rush was on the radio and went on a triad about how the "liberals" rely on an idiot voter block, then turns around and says point blank republicans played no crucial role in the passage of Obamas main bills so far..
