New York Times Bully Gun-Shames Armed Rape Survivors
Radix News ^ | October 31, 2014 | Michelle Malkin

Nasty New York Times editorial writer David Firestone pretends to care about campaign scare-mongering. But what he and his elitist ilk really fear are independent-thinking women who have dared to exercise their First Amendment powers to defend their Second Amendment rights.

This week, Firestone took aim at “attack ads” sponsored by the National Rifle Association. The “worst commercial,” he says, “features a rape victim describing her assault and accusing” former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg “of wanting to take away her right to defend herself.”

That rape victim has a name and a story Firestone couldn’t even bother to mention. She is Kimberly Weeks, a brave and fierce Colorado woman who testified against the Bloomberg-backed gun-control measures that beleaguered Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper now admits he passed “without basic facts” and concedes were ineffective from the get-go.

Funny how in this actual war on women the lefty Times doesn’t want to give women the ability to fight back.

It’s simple.

Mr. Firestone is a hateful, lying piece of liberal crap.

I occasionally refer to the anti 2a people as:

The Pro-Rape faction.

I have used it to back up a Liberal.

“There is a war on women, guess which side wants them unarmed?”

Good idea for a TV ad

NYT: “Lie down and take it.....”

That is the message I am reading between the lines here....

Maybe Firestone feels strongly enough about it to show up on the victims’ doorsteps and take away their 2nd Amendment rights.

Heh, heh.
