Can anyone beat the NRA?
Politico ^ | 3-27-2013 | Roger Simon

Posted on 03/27/2013 4:21:56 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Wayne LaPierre may have more blood on his hands than Dracula, but — fair is fair — he also has the guts of a burglar.

He will say anything to advance the agenda of the National Rifle Association, which he runs, and he doesn’t worry about his critics. Under his leadership, the NRA has grown and today is one of the most feared lobbies on Capitol Hill.

I should point out that, unlike Dracula, LaPierre neither kills people nor drinks their blood. It is just my personal belief that the NRA’s gun mania has led to the slaughter of thousands of innocent men, women and children in this country.

“The reason why NRA has grown so much is not LaPierre’s leadership. Gun grabbers are to blame, and that is YOU (Roger Simon) and you fellow unAmerican”

Agree, I have been an NRA member for over thirty years and its my opinion that the NRA has succeeded in spite of LaPierre and not because of him. As the ace of the NRA he sucks. Maybe he is great behind closed doors when it comes to twisting legislators tails and such. But, out in public and in front of a camera, we need a new face.

NRA is America’s first civil rights organization.

Greg DeGiere used to claim that the Kahanes - father and son - had killed “countless” arabs.

The left are insane, and evil.

>>> They know they don’t have a winning hand <<<<

But they (progressives) think they do. Here is the paragraph in the article -

“It’s about intensity,” the source (a source close to the WH) said. “A majority of people are for gun control in America, but the NRA has intensity. A billionaire spends money on ads, but will that change things? Senators want to know what their phones calls are like, their letters, their emails, their social media and whether people are going to town meetings.

“People can still rise up. Don’t write the obit for gun control yet.” (end copying)

These progressives are waiting for another massacre to jump on the corpses. Plus Obama, after his vacation, will be criss crossing the country for intesive gun-control campaigning. That will cooked the poll numbers up for 'a majority favor gun-control' meme.

Hey Simon! Which civil right is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution? The right to keep and bear arms, or two men marrying each other?

If you're having trouble with the question posed, Roger, I'll send you a copy of the Constitution for a refresher course.

Facts and truth are the enemy of these goons. Open carry cities are the safest in the world. Gun ban cities are the most violent.

Ay yes - the venerable ad hominem attack. The author cannot defeat the ideas and facts presented by the NRA and its leadership, so the answer must be to defame them with vague accusations of causing bloodshed.

>>> Forget the entire article, what is actually said isn’t the point.

Yes. I agree. Thank you. It is not my intention linking to the article to bash Roger Simon.

He is just typical using the Alinsky, freezes targets on LaPierre, and NRA.

Just exactly where is that so-called “blood” on LaPierre’s hands?

Ah, liberals, the utter definition of “cliche city”.

Here’s a cliche back at you, Politico: “Shove it up your smelly collective Obamas.”

The left needs to keep people at the mercy of criminals and the down trodden or they will not have a purpose as Libtards.

The liberals’ blood mania has led to the deaths of millions of innocent children in this country.

Also he’s a big fat dumbhead.

Politico actually pays for this adolescent B.S.?
