Did Glenn Beck call Politco?

Politico needs a ‘better’ drug I’m thinking.

But wait, hold on....I was engaged just a mere week and half ago as a Trump supporter taking another Trump supporter to task on a Politico article bashing Cruz. Yet everyone on that thread was Estatic over the article and even though the article was written by the person who told the biggest proven lie about Carson. Yet they didn’t care because it was negative on Cruz.

So which is it? Get behind Politico when they trash those we may not like because it favors us and they are a bastion of honesty? Or nope no way should anything written there be believed? Can’t have it both ways....some opt for the hypocritical latter

But of Trump, he added, “I think of him about the same way I think of Hillary,” noting the billionaire’s many position changes over the years. Abney said he hopes Trump can somehow win his trust, but he’s also considering a third party.

Suck it up, Nancy. You, not Trump, are responsible for your vote.

Trump is far outspoken in his support of the Second Amendment than was turnip brain McCain or wishy washy Romney. Just political crap from leftist Politico.

Go read the media. I’m not going to do your news aggregation and spoonfeed for you. I’m not CW ready to list things out. Besides, if you really think he or his supporters are not involved, then prove it. Show me anywhere he has said stand down. Show me anywhere where he has truly stopped. Yeah, crickets. Even 2ndDivVet won’t go that far.

To hear these folks tell it, Trump has lukewarm support by NRA members, at best.

Which everyone knows is not true.

Trump has overwhelming support from NRA members.

If Politico wrote that the sky is blue, then I would have to go check first before I believe.

Ah,the time honored progressive tactic of requiring your opponent to prove a negative. That, and your angst make it pretty clear that you were just "making bubbles in the bathtub" as my sainted father used to say. Thought so.

Have a nice day.

They have always been a cult.

Romney banned more guns than Obama ever did.

Anything put out by Politico is suspect at best. Biased? Almost definitely.

"Jim should ban links to these leftist dumps like Politico...along with Huffington Post, Daily Beast, Salon, Slate and MSNBC."

I would be earnestly against that! The first threads that I read when I access the site in the morning are those coming from anti-conservative sources.

First, it's good to know what the enemy is thinking, what line they're going to be hewing to in the near future. That gives me plenty of time to know what sort of ridiculous arguments I'm going to be hearing from the Dhimmies. I can gain insight from the wisdom of fellow FReepers in their well-reasoned and thoughtful replies to the thread, which I can use in my own arguments later.

Second, they're the most entertaining threads on FreeRepublic. The replies of FReepers to those threads are some of the funniest, most inventive, most creative things that I find on the internet. Don't take my daily LOL moments from me.

My local gun shop has a bakery-style “take a number” machine because it is completely jammed with customers. The cars in the lot this weekend carried many “Arrest Hilary” and “Impeach Obama” stickers. Not a Sanders sticker anywhere.
Obama/Hilary are the greatest gun salespeople in history.

Not Romney. That turd Scott Harshbarger, then-AG of Massachusetts. The list of approved weapons still exists there. One notes it makes illegal almost all small guns that women could use in self-defense.

I love the Reno gun show!
When the idiot Obozo was first elected, I showed up at the convention center with a hand-truck and hauled off many, many containers of ammo.

I was a member of NRA. Only stopped because of low income.

I know a number of NRA members, and NONE of them are expressing any unhappiness over the endorsement of Trump.

I call BS on these stories.
