JeffA picking off easy targets at View thread - makes it look like shooting apples in a barrel - so naturally the losers are demanding he be banned. JohnM is trying to pedal shoddy research in favor of gun control, X can't let go of her "teabagging" compulsions, and Suma is looking for an excuse to ban Fox News and conservative talk radio from the airwaves.
John What serious conversation can be held about that article? My response, as posted is absolutely my opinion on MEXICO's problem and our gun control laws. Clinton, Holder and the Pres of Mexico Calderon are looking to tie it to the US gun control laws in order to pose more restrictions. Pure and simple. I think it is total BS, power grab and baseless. The article speculated on "how many guns they could have smuggled over how many years." So, guess what, they have no idea. They are guessing because they caught them with 300 rifles. They extrapolate from there. People being poor, drug cartels and corruption have led us to this point, not US gun laws. Please. Message 25571787
Lott's work is widely debunked. Last time I checked it was cited only by ideological types Last I checked it was only challenged by ideological lefties, his work is still accepted and the standard for the mainstream. Message 25570997
Hey MME As I expected, the only "tea bagging" I have heard of comes from the lefties. I am more certain than ever this is simply a spin from the left, in a quite childish manner to minimize the protests. Outside of the net, I have not heard this discussed in any mainstream media source. Much like the derogatory definition of "Santorum" came from the left, a homosexual sex columnist of the left no less, I imagine assigning tea bagging to these protests is a continuing example of the left thinking it is clever.

Well MME, I don't read or research right or left wing blogs, I don't troll the internet for obscure sexual references to protests. I believe my post mentioned main stream media not mentioning the proclivity of internet lefties calling this out as tea bagging. I stand by what I said. BTW, you need some sleep if you are tired. Conseravativeoldhippie.com? C'mon whazzat? It's not what I WANT to believe, it is a fact. The left always faces challenges in what to do when faced with facts. I was driving to Evansville yesterday and listened to programs discussing taxes and the protests scheduled for today. Now, I know 6 hours of radio is not a LOT of listening, but I managed to get through the whole trip without hearing the words tea-bagging even one time. Message 25571669
I've read that. It is a portrait of a confused coward. You can try & tie in Fox, Beck, and whoever else you want into his actions, I don't buy it. It is convenient fodder for the spin machine. Three months of this administration and we are already back to the "spin the news" levels that were achieved at the height of Clinton administration. I won't go into the article as I consider the entire thing trash Message 25571056
Oh Suma, please don't be so disappointed. Which part of the trashy article would you like to discuss? The fact that he had books from conservatives and he was an admitted conservative? The tenuous tie being offered from Beck to this deranged fool's actions? The stupid tie to Foxnews from this deranged fool's actions? Which part do you want me to a) take serious enough to deem necessary to discuss with you or b) take serious enough to think you could be swayed by how totally full of BS the article is and try & get you to doubt some small part of it? They threw every fear mongering BS point against the wall with this article and they hope they all stick. Pick a point you think is remotely valid as a Fox news or conservative talk host responsibility and tie it to this idiots actions. Otherwise I stand by my evaluation of this article as Lib fear mongering trashy BS. The guy was an unbalanced idiot. Message 25571605
Help, Dale, ban this guy, he's making us look stupid - I can imagine the PM's flying:
