In reply to the discussion: 2016: Bernie Sanders among top 25 of Congressional recipients of NRA donations [View all]Decoy of Fenris
(1,954 posts)The article is intellectually dishonest on several levels, sub-categorizing Sanders until he's the only possible person to meet their criteria. As mentioned upthread, there are Democrats who have taken more (Including Hillary Clinton) but the article neglects to mention them, as Sanders has his own individual group of "Non-Republican", "Congressional member", "Non-Democrat" "Running for President". With that set of criteria, of course he'd top that list; he's the only one in it.
Also, picking nits, "Pro-gun" does not equal "NRA". There are several left-wing pro-gun groups in the northeast, but this article files them under "NRA", as do you. Tsk tsk.
The article's numbers are true, but the spin and writing is straight out of Russia Today. One could almost question the motives for posting such an easily-spotted and obvious bit of propaganda, правый товарищ?
