Huffington Post Taunts NRA for Not Politicizing Charleston Attack
Breitbart ^ | 07/20/2015 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 07/20/2015 5:41:40 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

On July 20, the Huffington Post taunted the NRA for refusing to politicize the heinous June 17 attack on Charleston’s Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

The article seized on NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre’s decision to remain quiet in the wake of the Charleston shooting, and it was construed in a manner designed to draw him out.

For example, they suggest this silence indicates the NRA has something to hide. They do this by positing that the silence “is a pretty clear indication that the whole notion of gun ownership may still be up for grabs, 2nd Amendment or no 2nd Amendment.” And they poke fun at claims that the NRA is America’s “oldest civil rights organization.”

Maybe, just possibly, they know it was a set up by the White House.

“Maybe, just possibly, they know it was a set up by the White House.”

Care to elaborate?

Perhaps it was simply respect for the people who were shot.

Politics heaped on a tragedy such as this is tawdry and childish.

The Stars and Bars became the lightning rod of the Charleston shooting-there was nothing for the NRA to say.

"One of the murdered men was a critic of BHO2."

And?

Is the claim that Obama is somehow involved here?

I thought Huffington would be too busy looking into the President releasing a scientist to Iran in exchange for none of our American prisoners there.
