Protester carrying AR-15 at Obama Protest Rally in Phoenix was a Publicity Stunt

Talking Points Memo ^ | 8/18/2009

The MSM are such fools. They completely fell for this publicity stunt and were completely used.

That part is no news at all. lol

I think it should happen MORE often until people get used to seeing armed Americans walking freely and proudly down the street, exercising their absolute right to bear arms.

I do too. I don't care if it was a publicity stunt. He carried it lawfully and respectfully and that needs to be done until it is so passe that it wouldn't work as a publicity stunt.

Coming up on Chris Matthews' show ... he's still got his panties all twisted about this. I guess he didn't get the Talking Points Memo telling him it was a stunt.

[ex 98C MI Dude]

Actually, I think it was a really good idea. You see, the SRM like to portray EBRs as capable of action all by their lonesome, and here we have a case where one was actually seen in public... and it didn’t leap to life and gun everyone down! It didn’t turn its owner into a blood-crazed killing machine.

All in all, I’d call it a win.

[School of Rational Thought]

I have NO problem with it. More people need to carry, any time, any place. And if libs wet themselves over it, so much the better. Your attitudes are more like those lily-livered cowards afraid to exercise a RIGHT because you might offend someone who hates you already...

Agree, I don't like the Lindsey Grahams either. These fellows appeared to have acted very rationally and planning appropriately.

He’s been let off of “double secret probation”.

[Vendome]

LOL!

Free at last, Free at last!

I find it interesting that someone peacefully exercising their lawful Constitutionally-protected right was orchestrated as a publicity stunt.

I’m trying to determine any difference from Rosa Parks’ “stunt a few generations back.

Kind of like the birthers and the kenyan birth certificate a few weeks ago.

Not an attempt to hijack the thread, just pointing out that anyone with a strong desire for things to be as they want, rather than as they are, can easily be duped.

Blame the trolls.

Too many articles being posted for race baiting, violence baiting, etc.

[Vendome]

Well I figured who it was and it was an over reaction.

Hopefully we are friends. I don’t hold to many grudges.

In regards to trolls, we have already seen a few this morning.

They come here pimping their blogs, which make little to no sense, and they are easy to spot.

Matthews has been carrying on like that for over a week. You’ve got a stronger stomach that I do to tough it thru Ron Reagan (gag).

[MrEdd]

By definition. all protests or demonstrations are “publicity stunts” intended to sway others to a cause or promote something.
