“Her ambition to have folks NOT SHOOT BACK has to have a motive, so who’s the big criminal in her life.”

I will take a shot at this. Most likely, it is the State. Modern Liberals tend to be atheists, or at least, agnostics. Many feel a need for a greater power in their life, and they grant this to the State. Government becomes their god. Government decides what is right and wrong. Government protects and feeds them.

Guns in the hands of individuals, in fact, the very notion that individual power is a check on Government, is essentially sacrilege to their very idea of an all powerful Government. It offends them and scares them. If something can hold the Government in check, the Government might not be able to protect, feed, and care for them.

Of course, if they can make the Government do things, then that makes them god-like themselves.

“She is protecting her religiously held world view. To accept the obvious proof that her view is flawed would be like learning that whales live in trees. It would turn her belief system upside down and cause her to doubt all that she KNOWS to be true.”

Excellent observation! Worth repeating.

You're giving Liberals entirely too much credit for having brainpower to think all that through.

I think it's a gumbah of hers who is into crime. She wants to protect him.

Years ago when newspapers weren’t biased, one of them would have created an editorial cartoon of this clown in a Tarzan suit, breaking “thundersticks”.

Just like global warming is a religion, the anti-gun people view gun destruction as a religion.

They rely on emotion and faith instead of logic to perpetuate their arguments.

I have no idea what Mika is. Never heard it or of it. Sounds, from the reactions here, that it’s something you’d want to scrape off your boot before hopping in your truck.

Mika’s pa prolly got her a job as Cable Tee-Vee eye candy after she was found to be “not quite bright enough” to be a porn starlet..

IIRC, this is the third incredibly stupid thing someone has said on “Morning Joe” in the past month or so.

One chick called President Bush a monkey.

And Schuster calls evangelical Christians torture fanatics.

I think they are just trying to drum up controversy to prop up their ratings. Ignore them and they will eventually go away.

“learning that whales live in trees.”

Ever seen some of the “tree huggers” protecting” a tree?

Well, maybe they were only “porkers”.

A good biographical sketch.

This lady has a CFR bloodline.

Another thing, she was trying to pretend to be a Fox anchor one morning recently by showing some cleavage.

Frankly, I’m not into the big hair, big ..... female anchor news business anyway.

More Rational Liberal Discourse....

Later in the video she covered her ears and hollered "LALALALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!!"

When called a "Liberal Moron" by her co-anchor, she responded by sticking out her tongue and saying "I'm Rubber You're Glue, Whatever you says bounces off me and sticks to you!"

That would be the "Utah Mall" incident I refered to.

Did this happen last month? I got too busy to surf FR, and quite frankly, this is the first I've heard of the incident. Shows you how much the MSM carried the story.

I wonder if there are any firearms in her household...?

Probably -- attached to a big, burly bodyguard.

Does this woman have ARMED bodyguards? Hmmmmm....interesting question.

If someone came up to her to KILL her and her family, should her armed bodyguards try to TALK them out of it, try to grab THEIR gun, or just call the police? I wonder what she would want them to do, if HER life was threatened.

Just asking the questions....

Mika is a clueless addlepated airhead without the sense that G-d gave animal crackers!

Her opinion about guns and gun rights matters about as much as an Alka-Seltzer in a thunderstorm.
