Sarah Palin's Gun Control Rhetoric Isn't Funny Even when She Laughs (Keeping Blood Libel alive)

The Daily Beast reports Sarah Palin's speech to the Safari Club International Convention in Reno, Nev., has its members excited about taking on President Barack Obama's coming gun control issue. Palin warned that Obama and liberals will try to take away their guns.

"We need to keep tabs on what the White House is telling us. Just think if we had stricter gun control laws! Imagine, though -- imagine making life more miserable for the liberals who want that gun control." Palin was grinning and laughing as she spoke these words.

Palin has a very vivid imagination.

Imagine the parents of 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green who are miserable because they no longer have their daughter. Imagine the other families who are in misery from actually being victims of a shooting. Palin might have a difference stance if she lived in Gangland, USA at the center of any one of a dozen cities in America. Palin, as a mother of five, should be able to sympathize a little bit, right?

Earlier in her speech, Palin proudly told stories about how her children have hunting names associated with Alaska. Bristol is named after Bristol Bay. Piper is named after an airplane, Willow after a stream.

The kicker is her son Trig. Mommy and Daddy Palin lovingly named him after the part of the gun which fires the weapon. Just pull the trigger.

Palin can't seem to help her gun rhetoric less than a month after a crazy gunman killed six people....

They’re desperately stirring the pot as a way of distracting the nation from the hopelessly incompetent way Obama is handling the Egypt and mid-East crisis.

Exactly, and IATW, the shooter most probably would have been, by law, denied permission to buy a firearm IF his parents, or a friend, or a teacher, or the idiotic mouthy sheriff, had seen to it that he got psychiatric evaluation, counselling and treatment. And true defenders of the 2nd Amendmdent would have supported that denial.

• Imagine the parents of 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green who are miserable because they no longer have their daughter.
  (Christina's father has condemned more gun control.)
• Earlier in her speech, Palin proudly told stories about how her children have hunting names associated with Alaska. Bristol is named after Bristol Bay. Piper is named after an airplane, Willow after a stream.
  (None of those names are related to hunting.)
• The kicker is her son Trig. Mommy and Daddy Palin lovingly named him after the part of the gun which fires the weapon. Just pull the trigger.
  (Trig was named after an uncle not a gun part.)
• The fundamental American right to vote is hindered if you have been convicted of a felony or you are mentally incapable of doing so. Gun ownership should have the same standards.
  (Liberals oppose showing ID to vote and want to allow felons still in prison the right to vote.)

Why in the world is this thread in the Smoky Backroom? Were we being too uncivil to the libtards?

I heard an interview with Christina Green’s father. He said Christina wouldn’t want more government restrictions imposed on the people. This journalist is using her name advocating exactly what she - and her family - do not want.

Thank you thank you for pointing this out. I can't believe it took 33 posts in this thread before someone got to that point. These queers in the lamestream media have a template, and the truth is just in the way of their template.

Wait till they find out the National TEA Party Convention will feature a marksmanship clinic as a special breakout session.

>> Just pull the trigger.

To think Browning’s parents decided not to name him Richard. I guess they figured Dick Browning would be too obvious.
