The National Rifle Association is amping up the political rhetoric in advance of President Obama's gun violence prevention announcement scheduled for Wednesday. On Tuesday, the NRA posted a video on its website accusing the president of being "an elitist hypocrite" because his daughters have armed guards at school. CNN reported Tuesday night that the video "is running on the Sportsman Channel, a cable network focused on outdoors programming such as hunting and fishing."
Video ad at source.

There's no way those outlets would run the ad.
Unfortunately, I don't think so. Did you see the comments on the linked page? People who think guns are the problem will think it's OK to make a distinction between the President's daughters and yours.
They're correct on one point - the President's daughters would be a target for more intentional crimes than your children would be. But they miss the point that having a gun handy is the only solution when the criminal is unstable and not planning an intentional crime.
Liberals know that guns in the hands of honest people are to protect. They know that taking guns away from honest, law-abiding people and deliberately leaving them in the hands of violent criminals will cause more honest people to be killed.
They know, and are happy that way.
Mika says she's done trying to feel sorry for you gun-nuts after that commercial. I hope you are happy :)
Politicians like Koch hire retired NYC policemen,who provide them with armed protection.Hypocrisy is rampant on the gun issue.
Mika is such an idiot.
None more hypocritical than Obama. Remember this?
“We’ve got to have a civilian national security force (which answers to me) that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded as the military.” - candidate Barack Obama on his plans for America.
THE PLUSPERFECT REASON WHY THE CITIZENRY NEEDS TO BE ARMED
Because their ethics have been totally compromized..the longer their in washington the more likely the chances are they got caught taking a bribe or banging a page in the closet or maybe with a hooker some were downtown...If the other party knows about it then that's what those shiite birds call political leverage...It's what we call blackmail..the point is, when they do things that we know isn't right, when they stand in opposition to, or in support of what what makes no sense to us, it's because they can't do otherwise...Lest we find out what they are and remove them from office...
Then you take a someone like barney frank..Every knows what a POS that subhuman is, so there is nothing you can get on him that makes any difference at all...Most of use want our leaders to have the moral high-ground..But you can always find barney with the filth in the gutter...
Sometimes I think term limits might make sense...
What do you expect, it’s TPM. Mass-media pop-whores.
Is it now that we can only post articles that contain *favorable* comments at the source? I didn’t get that memo.
Cinch - up momma...it’s going to be bumpy ride. :D
I repeat:
*We need more of the type of ad, that addresses the lives that were saved by gun owners [in their own words] protecting their family/property.*
Personal testimonials. Faces of Norman Rockwell folk.
It seems we’ve allowed a ruling class to form... and like blowhard elites the world over they’ve spent a good deal of time passing laws that make it difficult to get them our of office. Now elites want to start chipping away at the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. That paper is what stands between them and uncontested power... we know what they are...
‘elitist hypocrite’ must be the inside-the -beltway term for power hungry prick...or NRA is still playing patsy-footsie and being dishonest with where we’re heading...
That would explain a lot.
It’s a great ad.
I wasn’t criticizing your posting of the article, I was commenting on the idiots.
Cinch-up, Daffy, grow a little thicker skin.
