The New York Times sent Mattathias Schwartz to find out what was going on at Jack Dailey's firearms training camps across the country and what he found apparently made the writer fear that America was going to the lily white, revolutionary, tea party dogs.
Schwartz went to learn about Jack Dailey's Appleseed Project firearms marksmanship training camps and what he found were folks of "uniformly white skin" whose ideas were influenced by those "motley carnivals of the Tea Party movement." And apparently Schwartz fears that they all want to institute a violent revolution in America. Yes, it's all about those scary "militias" despite that the Appleseed Project has no connection to any.
"Determining whether this revolutionary talk constitutes a threat comes down to finding the fine line between expressing anger and inciting the angry to action," Schwartz writes, "a distinction that is clear as a matter of law but less so in cultural practice." Then right away Schwartz invokes the Timothy McVeigh incident as if every American that wants to observe his Second Amendment rights is an Oklahoma bomber in waiting...

I trust the ‘Motley Carnivals of the Tea Party Movement’ more than I ever would trust the ‘Fools on the Hill’ in DC.
Crackers can shoot really well, NYT, you finally got something right.
‘S OK, just the NYT looking for some bailout $$. Ignore them and they’ll go away soon enough.
I'm guessing that, like the incredibly white MSNBC, the NYT's Schwartz added nothing to the diversity of color at the event, and now complains about everyone else's lack of color.
How the goal posts have moved, from not discriminating on race to demands that minorities partake in every activity or you're a racist.
I hope he didn’t discover the secret handshake.

The Founders wanted folks like the scum at the New York Times to be afraid of well armed militias....mission accomplished....
Yeah, I noticed all those guns being carried at their gatherings. What in the heck is wrong with those folks, the truth ain’t in them...
Come to an Appleseed Event and see for yourself what we’re all about.
Here is the homepage:
and here is the link to the schedule:

The reporter casts about for an insult to hurl at the groups, and comes up with motley, but in so doing betrays his contempt by contradicting himself. For monochrome and motley are opposites.
motley
–adjective
1.exhibiting great diversity of elements; heterogeneous: a motley crowd.
2. being of different colors combined; parti-colored: a motley flower border.
3.wearing a parti-colored garment: a motley fool.
I’m an Appleseed instructor and I approve this article.
“...what he found apparently made the writer fear that America was going to the lily white, revolutionary, tea party dogs.”
Must have been quite a shock to this poor NYT “reporter” since the only color he is used to being around is RED.
An armed society is a polite society...
OOooooooooo . . . . . racist tea partiers scaring the wahooee out of a dreat big new york times leftist!!
Those tea partiers are just such big MEANIES!!!!
(I’m really tired of leftist crybabies . . . . . . or could you tell?)
What’s wrong with Americans expressing their second Amendment rights!! A mega-mosque within 2 blocks of ground zero should be more frightening than ordinary Americans shooting guns at a target range and shooting school.
But, as usual, the NYT has their priorities bassackwards!!
“...Tea Party movement.” And apparently Schwartz...”
I remain ever surprised that someone who fancies themselves a fancy-pants author would begin a sentence with “and.” Until very recently that was verboten. I still consider it very poor writing/grammer.
And another thing... :)
That looks like a CZ-82. You have good taste, it’s a great gun and value.
I am ever surprised when people assume that someone else that they know nothing about considers themselves a “fancy-pants author.”
