Dishonest NPR Tells of 'Regular' Mom Who Put the Con in Gun Contro(momunists)

Beware liberal media propagandists trying to sell you a liberal as “just regular people....folding the kids’ laundry...who had never done anything political before.” Baloney. On Friday’s Morning Edition, NPR was the latest outlet who presented this fakery for one Shannon Watts, who founded the group One Million Moms for Gun Control after the Sandy Hook mass murder in December of 2012.

CHRIS ARNOLD: Much of the groundswell behind this crusade comes from just regular people pulled into it for their own reasons. For a woman named Shannon Watts -- she was drawn in by another mass shooting, the murder of 20 school children, 6 and 7 years old, in Newtown Connecticut. Watts wasn't there. She lived 800 miles away in Zionsville, Ind. She was folding her kids' laundry, actually, when the news broke. And she wanted to do something.

Uh, I thought npr and dishonest was redundant. Oh well, touting the laundry folding shannon t watts line of BS some more. The same one who drove off from the NRA meeting last year in a "Black" SUV with NY state plates. In Ohio after being confronted by Dana Loesh. Surrounded by presumably armed security.

I only wish the GOP hacks would defund this useless waste of taxpayer money.

Go to Newsbusters. Shannon Watts is no “accidental activist”.

Shannon Watts is a Public Relations professional hired by Michael Bloomberg to do a professional job for his anti-Second Amendment activism. She is a paid gun.

The socialists and anti-gun crowd seem to have a new attack angle they’re attempting to use by making it seem as if there’s some kind of grass roots movement to ban guns. Their next step will be to make it seem ‘popular’ and ‘hip’ to be against firearms as well as shaming those who don’t go along with it. It’s glaringly obvious they’ve got their new marching orders to employ this propaganda when People Magazine is even asking their readers to light up the Capitol Hill switchboard to ban guns!

She is a paid professional doing a job. People will do a lot of things for money.

NPR is a liberal beacon. It will never be defunded. I cannot listen to it for five minutes without turning it off due to the ever present agenda.

Reminds me of the Million Mom March, a “grassroots” lobbying effort, organized by a long-time Hillary Clinton confidante, IIRC. Grassroots, my foot.
