The
NRA and far Right are frightened. Well, they have always been paranoid, haven’t
they? Every time a Democrat is in the White House they howl, "They're coming for our guns! They're going to repeal the Second Amendment!"
Neither will ever happen, of course, but fear and loathing always prevail with the radical Right.
After the latest mass murder, students are taking action and the public is on their side. Most Americans see no need for military style weapons of mass death for self defense or hunting. This terrifies them. They just don't FEEL safe with their handguns, shotguns and deer rifles. Oh, the poor defenseless snowflakes.

Ever
the victims, they whine and lash out more than any group, even more than the
real victims. Here are just a few samples of NRA/far Right hate in action.
Families
of the Parkland massacre reported threatening phone calls.
NRA
supporters slime Emma Gonzales with a fake photo of her tearing the Constitution.
The
far Right Washington Times howled: “David Hogg would’ve made a good
brownshirt”.
Trump
fanatic and white trash conspiracy nut Roseanne tweeted, “Nazi salute” to a
photo of David raising his fist.
Pizzagate
conspiracy nut and classic far Right authoritarian personality Michael Flynn
Jr. tweeted, “Someone (hint: parents) clearly didn’t smack this kid much
growing up. Your emotional high will run out soon so savor it while it
lasts."
Extreme
Right hate merchant Laura Ingraham needed to take a dig at David’s college
admission issues. After advertisers pulled from her program, she bravely
"apologized".
David
responded, "I 100% agree an apology in an effort just to save your
advertisers is not enough. I will only accept your apology only if you denounce
the way your network has treated my friends and I in this fight. It’s time to
love thy neighbor, not mudsling at children".
It’s
refreshing to have the NRA’s side of the issue. You know, the organization that
helped elect Trump. So, let’s thank them for that, first off.
FOX
(R), the NRA and the radical Right want us to believe most of the young ones
are politically ignorant. Their fear of course, is that the young people’s
awareness is expanding. The radical Right no doubt feels to be in a superior
position to lecture survivors of a mass shooting. They are not. The survivors are combat veterans compared to chickenhawks and cowards like Ted Nugent, Wayne LaPierre, and Trump.
The
survivors have the experience and the moral authority to be heard. For that
they are viciously attacked by the NRA and the far Right.
This
is why the NRA seek to marginalize and dismiss them by spreading their manure
thickly as possible.
The
NRA insists such rallies are leftist attempt to politicize this next generation
into being allies. Nugent and fellow haters slime them, calling them “crisis
actors”. This is from the paranoid cult that insisted Obama was coming for
their guns.
Then
comes the tired NRA clichĂ© about “unenforced gun laws”. Since the assault
weapons ban was lifted, an ever increasing number of lives have
been lost to those weapons designed solely to kill human beings. More will die.
It doesn’t matter to the NRA how many more become human sacrifice to their
almighty gun god.
The
NRA will never admit to the fact that the more weapons there are in a society,
the MORE humans will DIE from them. Yet they insist more weapons is the only
answer. How convenient for the death industry.
We
had a Second Amendment before the flooding of our country with assault weapons.
We will have one after they are banned. As with the London cholera epidemic,
the sooner we shut down the pump, the more lives will be saved.
And
now the NRA has an ally in Alex Jones, Trump's beloved fake news conspiracy
monger. Jones is projecting Swastikas and Hitler Youth imagery at teenage
victims of the MAGA hatted terrorist!
What
we see is a well-organized Rightist attempt to demonize victims of their
precious weapons of war. The paranoia and hate fueled by the
militant/nationalist Right will only result in more deaths of innocent
Americans.
As
the victims of Second Amendment Remedy loving gun nuts say, “WE CALL BS!”
The
cult of hate wants to blame the “left” for politicizing the students.
It
was the goddamn slaughter by NRA promoted and manufactured weapons of mass
death that politicized them.
The
damn NRA has joined Trump and his white nationalist followers in their war on
journalism, as well as their culture war on all who dissent from the NRA hate
group. See Dana Loesch and her clenched fist of hate. Make no mistake they are
a far Right hate group. They regard journalists, educators, scientists, and
sane and compassionate Americans as their enemy. This is exactly how fascism
grows.
The
thugs of the Axis of Slaughter are now obsessed with attacking teenagers.
Let’s
go back to the NRA poster of Hitler doing the Nazi salute. The caption read,
“All in favor of gun control, raise your hand”.
Shockingly,
the Right is wrong again. Hitler let his far Right nationalist thugs and other
"good Germans" keep their guns. Only Jews, educators, socialists, and
others who were stripped of their rights were banned from owning them.
The
extremists of the far Right will also try to lecture you that “no assault
rifle” was used in the mass killings. Stop them right there. They are using
Hitler’s definition of assault rifle, of course. The definition has been
modified for our modern butchery under the Republican/NRA/Trump Axis of
Slaughter.
Definition
of assault rifle:
Any
of various intermediate-range, magazine-fed military rifles (such as the AK-47)
that can be set for automatic or semiautomatic fire; also : A rifle that
resembles a military assault rifle but is designed to allow only semiautomatic
fire
The
radical Right will dismiss this definition of course, for they always try to
seize the power to unilaterally define words to fit their extremist propaganda.
Don't
let them.
This
just in: Introducing Ten Nugent today, hate radio host Joe Pags lied and cried about
the media saying the NRA “wants to kill children”.
Chickenhawk
shit-pants Nugent was quick to commiserate.
“The
level of ignorance goes beyond stupidity... The dumbing down of America is
manifested in the culture deprivation of our academia that have taught these
kids the lies, media that have prodded and encouraged and provided these kids
lies. I really feel sorry for them because it’s not only ignorant and dangerously
stupid, but it’s soulless. To attack the good law-abiding families of America
when well known predictable murderers commit these horrors is deep in the
category of soulless. These poor children, I’m afraid to say this and it hurts
me to say this, but the evidence is irrefutable, they have no soul.”
Now let's unpack this putrid pile of what WE CALL B.S.

Wow, what an awesome column, so very accurate.
Thanks so much for breaking down dumbass Nugent's ignorant,"soulless" response.What a fool of a man, and what a buffoon. He is EXACTLY what he is accusing the kids of being.Classic right wing projection technique.He's the guy that they (the right) love....too ignorant and stupid to figure out the fascist tactics, so he falls for it hook, line, and sinker. Real tough guy...puts on some camo, then goes on a canned hunt on some lame game farm, then poses like a big tough guy when he kills his trophy. What an absolute fool. The "kids" have more soul in their little fingers than this goof has in his whole body. I almost can't believe that he made the comment about the media...deceiving people and making them more ignorant is straight out of the right wing play book. It's who they are. Limbaugh has suckered a whole generation of people.They want people stupid...easier to control. They ARE the elites....wake up stupid people!
"More guns in a society equals more killings." So simple....of course. A child could figure it out. Yet the right and NRA, through the continued use of their "Double Down" tactics, have brainwashed their followers to believe the opposite.
Right wing hate media has almost ruined this country. So thankful we have these impressive young people. Really special and full of "soul."
Thanks Dave for pointing out the NRA and right wing hypocrisy. Unknowing to them, they play the victim more than anybody. Really pathetic, and dangerous. Keep up the good work.
I thought Nugent was supposed to be dead or in prison by now. A right-winger not being good on his word. No surprise to me. He comes to my home area of Ontonagon, Mi. to stay at a hunting camp owned by a Vietnam vet. I don't see how the vet associates with the draft dodging blowhole. The local radio station had an interview with him. I didn't get to hear it however. Camp Josh, a camp for the disabled to enjoy hunting and fishing opportunities, had a raffle lately. The grand prize was a Nugent autographed guitar. I wonder how many tickets they sold. I didn't buy one. The kid Hogg sure is cleaning Laura Ingraham's clock and getting her sponsors to pull out of her show on Faux News. I think 15 at last count. Dave keep up the fight.
