In reply to the discussion: Bill Maher's hilarious quote [View all]Cerridwen
(13,252 posts)The law is 22 years old and now it's "Panic!!!!" "The world is coming to an end!!!" "The evil Democrats are coming for our guns!!!! i.n...s.l.o.w...m.o.t.i.o.n..." Well, not all our guns...just the specifically defined ones...but that's "ALL our guns!!!!!"
The quote says nothing about "wanting" to take away your guns, or mine. Just that the paranoid crowd is sure their guns are next; though that hasn't happened in the last 30 years they've been spewing the phrase.
As to worrying about the "Democrats...tarred with this particular brush"; are you fucking kidding me?! The r/w makes shit up out of whole cloth on an hourly basis. It matters not what Democrats do, don't do, threaten to do, etc., the r/w will catapult their own plans and project them onto Democrats every damned time.
In case you haven't noticed, the r/wers have been painting Democrats as Muslim, socialist, communist, pinko, lesbian, gay, baby-killers who are "soft on crime" and ready to round up all the r/wers and send them to re-education camps. Not only do they create the fucking paint, they create the brush with which to apply the paint. Why the hell are you helping them?
What Democrats really don't need is someone from the Democrat's side parroting their own paranoia back at them thereby proving to them "we" all agree with them.
Now, for your entertainment and mine:
