Biden: We’re counting on ‘legitimate media’ for successful gun control effort February 11, 2013 | 1:46 pm

During a press conference on gun safety in Philadelphia, Vice President Joe Biden said that any reports that suggest that he was trying to take weapons away from gun owners was a “bunch of malarkey.”

"I know that's a word that you've never heard before, although it's now in the dictionary," Biden boasted.

Biden said that it was important for the media to dissuade the American public from the idea that the Obama administration was prepared to do something unconstitutional on guns.

“To be very blunt with you, we’re counting on all of you, the legitimate news media to cover these discussions because the truth is that times have changed,” Biden added, warning that people would continue to “misrepresent” the White House's plans for gun control.

"The social media that exists out there, the tragedies that have occurred, the Supreme Court decision affirming that its an individual right to bear arms - all give a lie to the argument that what we're trying to do is somehow unconstitutional.........

He’s not going to take our guns away.

He’s going to pay people to do that for him.

Now go pay your taxes - the guys doing the confiscating are going to need the money. :)

We have no intention of denying you your second amendment rights to hunt deer, with the weapons of our choice. That’s malarkey. -Uncle Joe

Obama doesn't want to take you Assault Weapon.

A lie. If I cannot give away or sell my Assault Weapon, then it really isn't mine. It belongs to the Government who graciously allows me to house it until I die.

It's a sham which thinly disguises the truth--DiFi's new assault weapons' ban is a "taking." Yes, they are taking your weapons and magazines. You no longer own them, control them or are able do with them as you wish. They are forfeit to the "crown."

Not so fast. They are my birth right, as is every terrible implement of the soldier:

Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American... [T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people. (Tench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.)

And:

Whereas civil rulers, not having their duty to the people duly before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. (Tench Coxe, "Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution," under the pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789.)

I like what this Pennsylvanian has to say to Tyrants.

What do Biden and Obama mean by “legitimate” and what do they think is excluded from “legitimate”, though to keep the public ignorant they will not say it?

By “legitimate” they actually think that means only “hunting” and everything else is suspect to them.

This will be shown when they speak, as the only persons they will actually identify as who they are not trying to take guns away from is “legitimate” hunters.

They do not mean being “armed for your protection” when they say “legitimate”.

Hey, ugh, Joe, you mean this "legitimate media"?

Getting their daily copy from the basement of the White House.

C'mon Joe, give us a break. You can't be serious. Are you?

As much as admitting that the administration relies on the MSM for its propaganda.

It’s not the “Legitimate media”, it’s the Ministry of Truth.

VP Biden knows that there are TWO news medias, the OLD msm and the NEW msm.

The main reason the amendment procedures were included in the Constitution is because times change.

If times have changed, then you should go through the amendment process, Mr. Vice President.

And I’m counting on the organ that Biden calls his brain finishes its explosion early in this second evil term.

Wikipedia used to have the image on the left up on their page about Nikolai Yezhov.
That is, they had that image up until someone noted said resemblance to Zero.

That's okay, we have it on FR and on your hard drive to keep reminding us who Nicolai was ..... (saw references to him earlier and didn't get it, m'self) .....

Which reminds me, Winston Smith has been over at Wikipedia for a while now, hasn't he?

Notice how liberals cluster around information-retrieval and reference sites and .ORG's like flies around fresh dung?

We're going to have to do a better job of culling them out of society in infancy, going forward. .... Speaking of social engineering .... Let Russian couples adopt our liberals, they'll be happier that way living in the Leftist Utopia, where dissident journalists get retired with Makarov pistols.

In China, dissident reporters get a 7.62 x 54mm to the back of the head.
I’m waiting for the first Stalin style Damnatio Memoriae to happen in official White House photography.

Oldthinker! Oldthinker! That's a damned Eastasian lie! It's 7.62x39mm, I've seen the photos! </s>

I’m waiting for the first Stalin style Damnatio Memoriae to happen in official White House photography.

Happens all the time in the South. Memphis just took down the names of three city parks because they had "Confederate" (read, "damn honky cracka white mofo!") memorializations. That happens to high schools in Houston occasionally -- Robert E. Lee High School was renamed simply "Lee" and the team name was changed from "Rebels" to something meaningless. (Platypuses? Nematodes?)

When New Orleans fell under the heel of a black political machine run by Ernest Morial, father of Marc Morial the Unindicted Felon of New Orleans, the city parks were instantly stripped of their Confederate monuments (except for the rather large and bulky column topped by a statue of Bobby Lee, in the middle of Lee Circle). The large busts on stone pedestals were sequestered in a warehouse whose location is kept secret, and on significant days of the year, black city employees go there and party and piss on them and do other demeaning things to the monuments and the white men they memorialize. That would be an example of damnatio memoriae, or maybe fimificatio memoriae.

Nice, huh?

All over the South, black heroes are celebrated by federal law and local political push -- but white people's forebears and heroes are shunned, denigrated, and in New Orleans, have filth smeared on them in ritual demonization ceremonies presided over by people who call themselves antiracists, but aren't.

Grant’s tomb was a place of hobos and drugs.
So it isn’t just southern gents whose memory gets defaced like that.
It’s just more visible and “in your face” in the south.
Somebody did a restoration effort on the place in 1997 or so.
But it is still in a bad area.
Morningside Heights Manhatten.
It won’t be long until it is a hobo and drug infested pit again.

We won’t be truly postracial until racial insults hold no power over anyone.
Sadly, a certain political party that starts with ‘D’ receives power by keeping people perpetually offended.
