C&L: Wingnuts Fight Back Against Imaginary Obama Plot To Take Their Guns

[onehandle]

From Crooks and Liars' Susie Madrak:

It's so crazy, isn't it? Scary black man in the White House! If Obama had ever actually done a thing to control guns, I could see it. But he's been missing in action on the topic for a very long time. Amazing, the things people use to scare themselves:

WASHINGTON, D.C. (CBS Washington) — A gun company advertisement that warns of impending gun control compares President Obama to Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin.

The USAAmmo ad shows side-by-side pictures of Obama with Hitler, Stalin and other dictators who committed atrocities across the world. The ad, which is also accompanied by a video, warns that gun control is imminent and foreshadows that the U.S. could face millions in casualties if they are not allowed to defend themselves.

USAAmmo states that “tyranny is knocking down the doors of American cities daily” and that Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and other gun control advocates “are secretly conspiring American Citizens of the right to bear arms.”

Trace Williams, director of operations for USAAmmo, defended the ad that was emailed Monday. He told CBS Washington that “Obama and his various czars are infringing on the rights of Americans to own guns.” “He’s anti-gun and he’s obviously a socialist cramming health care down American’s throats,” Williams said. “That is exactly how those people in that ad rose to power.”

1. I got invited to a party and the host started raving about Obama and gun control

Nobody answered him when he started talking about that subject. F him.

3. Here is what I do.

I tell them I'll bet them $1,000.00 that They will never have a gun that they legally own now taken away while Obama is President, we can let a 3rd party hold the money. They always, ALWAYS, STFU and walk away mumbling. They don't even believe their own bull shit.

4. Should have told him their have been two presidents in this nation's history under whom

guns that were legally owned have been confiscated, both Republicans; Lincoln, and Bush, after Katrina.

BOTH REPUBLICANS.

2. Wow, totally nuts.

I am experiencing disgust, but not surprise.

5. Anyone paying attention realizes all these halfwit proclamations of

>fill in your president of choice< will take away your guns! (always at the end of the year).

It's nothing more than the gun manufacturers clearing out old stock.

They do this every single year.

Why run a sale when you have enough stupid mouth breathers in the population.

6. Stirring up fear and hate in the GOP base.... one more time.... some day

the base will be truly free of this manufactured emotional bondage.
