(115,926 posts)Seems like a little info is always a good thing. I didn't know NRATV existed until a few days ago.

(6,411 posts)Feels like she showed it to highlight a message that's "off the radar" for most of us. This is what a meaningful part of the country is hearing. It's a "know your enemy" kind of thing.
And the rest of the conversation around it has been pretty good.

(6,411 posts)...and there is no question it's toxic. But it is the message that is being fed to the right wing.
Personally, I think we've "ignored" it for far too long and let it fester in the shadows. get it out in the light...not to advocate for it's message but to really highlight how utterly deplorable it really is. make supporters own it.
again - just my humble opinion.

(14,249 posts)Ignoring it won't make it go away. And, let's be real - very few people who would actually be influenced by these clips to run off and join the NRA are watching AM Joy on Sunday mornings.
I thought it was a hoot that she showed these clips and then the panel laughed their asses off at how clueless they are.

(11,885 posts)Getting very tired them putting on these gop hacks, and them running over and over again what trump wants to have them message out for him. Rachel is doing the best for that reason.

(15,805 posts)Did you know there was an NRA TV? I didn't, and most people probably don't either. But now, thanks to the timely information Joy Reid gave to me, I am better informed. And armed with that new found knowledge, I went to Amazon, searched for the NRA TV page, and I'm writing a scathing rebuke to tell the gun industry and Amazon what I think.
You might consider being more proactive instead of just reactionary.

(192 posts)I agree these videos are hard to watch. Especially with my wife yelling at the TV.
But we need to counter what they are selling. Hey these ads so upset me that I had to delete my last post due to really bad word salad. Nothing like posting and then reading your own post and not understanding what you are trying to say.

These types of threads are embarrassing
