Obama: Replace your Facebook profile picture with my gun control sign
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/14/13 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 03/14/2013 5:42:30 PM PDT by Nachum

President Obama's grassroots campaign organization is pressing supporters to switch out their Facebook profile picture with a black and white gun control sign.

Organizing for America is distributing the digital signs that read: "I am one of the 92 percent of Americans who support universal background checks."

In an email, OFA said, "There's another simple thing you can do right now to show the overwhelming support for universal background checks: Take this sign and put it somewhere folks will see it -- in your window, on your desk, or maybe upload it as your Facebook profile picture."

When they were making up the number, I wonder why they chose 92%?

How cool would it be to figure out a way to stick this graphic in your tag line?

That target picture is driving me crazy. The face resembles that of a young man from Tucson who was killed in Afghanistan a few months prior to this photo being taken. Just the face. The young man was a sniper who trained Afghan soldiers.

They are referring to the Quinnipiac University poll from Feb, 2013.

It is a twisting of what was actually asked.

Yeah, I know, SHOCKING, right?

February 7, 2013 - Americans Back Women In Combat 3-1, But Less For Draft, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Support For Universal Gun Background Checks Is 92%

http://www.quinnipiac.edu/institutes-centers/polling-institute/national/release-detail/?ReleaseID=1847

Demographics...

http://www.quinnipiac.edu/images/polling/us/us02072013_demos.doc

The questions...

PDF format

What is glaringly obvious by it’s absence is an exact description of what comprises a “universal background check” because it never did ask that question.

It also does not differentiate between a private sale and a FFL sale when referring to “gun buyers.”

Here is the actual question...

38. Do you support or oppose requiring background checks for all gun buyers?

So of course the question is vague in that it only says “background checks.”

NOT universal background checks.

But when it comes out of the communists’ mouth it has transformed into...

SUPPORT FOR UNIVERSAL GUN BACKGROUND CHECKS IS 92%

Umm, no, that is NOT the question that was asked.

Quinnipiac University Polling Institute... you lie.

Thankfully I wasn’t drinking anything when I saw this, or you’d owe me a new keyboard. Damn, you are a very bad man! LOL.

One more thing...

Quinnipiac University
275 Mount Carmel Avenue
Hamden, Connecticut 06518

The numbers might be about right but it is the wording of the conclusion that was processed through the commie brain filter.

I remember signs similar to that back in 1968. Those signs said....”THIS HOME IS UNARMED!” It was just after Bobby Kennedy got killed.

It didn’t last long.

Wonder who made up the 92% number...

Good question...

...Organizing for America is distributing the digital signs that read: "I am one of the 92 percent of Americans who support universal background checks."...

Words...just words. I'm about sick of this OFA crapola.

Seems like Democrats need mental health clearances before being allowed to own weapons.
