Ok The Fruit is pretty low, but how can I not pick some of them up. This Gem is from Million Mom March President, and Brady Campaign Chair, Joan Peterson:
No name calling, sir-“ignorant tripe?” I said I had a problem with military style weapons being used for hunting. I don’t like them because they are semi-automatic assault weapons that are designed to kill as many people quickly, as would be needed in combat.They can be carried on the hip and used to spray bullets and have large capacity magazines and other combat features that aren’t used for hunting. The only reason I can see for having one is for shooting as many people as possible. That is how they tend to be used by people who have used them to kill police officers. They are the weapon of choice for the Mexican drug cartel who get most of them here in the U.S. ( yes, that is true and a fact). That’s why I have a problem with them. They have the potential to wreck much more havoc and killing than other guns. They have been and could be used by terrorists, who can, by the way, walk into American gun shows and buy them without background checks. That is my problem.
Hey Hon, Every thing you said isn’t true, and therefore your problem doesn’t exist!
No need to send me a gift, or cash, I’m just doing my duty as a kind, and logical individual!
Oh and she posted ANOTHER gem
Dennis Henigan is a highly respected lawyer who has worked on gun issues for many years. He does indeed know what he is talking about. I am not mirroring him. I am not, as I said before, beholden to what the Brady Campaign staff is saying. I have my own opinions which I came to on my own. But I use Dennis and Paul Helmke, two men I greatly respect and know quite well, as models. They are doing the right thing. They are both fine men with a load of integrity and well respected in most circles. I know you don’t respect them but that doesn’t mean they are not respected by many many others. I am tired of you guys saying “I’m sorry for your loss” and then say but don’t you think blah blah blah blah as if you all know something I don’t. That is what I meant by that. So now that we have that off our chests, let’s talk about other things.
Man, its like they WANT to be discredited!!!
Hmmm . . . let’s play with that quote a little bit . . .
I said I had a problem with [SUVs]. I don’t like them because they are [big and heavy vehicles] that are designed to kill as many people quickly, as would be needed in [urban] combat.They can be [driven onto crowded sidewalks] and used to [kill pedestrians] and have [brush guards] and other [vehicular] features that aren’t used for [basic driving]. The only reason I can see for having one is for [running over] as many people as possible.
She can’t understand why you would want one; therefore you’re evil.
It all makes sense now! She needs to go hang out with the Prius crowd.
But… but… but… Cars and guns are not at all alike! You cannot compare them! They have nothing in common!
[/snark]
*sigh* In other news, you just beat me to my next blog post. Hope you are happy! 😉
heh, you know I was checking all you guy’s blogs all last night. See I penned that post just before dinner last night, but decided I had enough blog-fodder for one day, so syndicated it for first-thing this morning. I was worried YOU were gonna scoop me!
Hey, you still got the Rob Russel scoop! That was a WAYY better post. (also thanks to you getting it out first, the big post is no longer rotting on my abandoned Live Journal)
Heh, implying that somehow after all her lies and rhetoric and dodges, that suddenly she actually MEANS what she types.
Nah!
That’s why I comment, to get anti gun bigots to post ignorant triple like that.

Mirriam Webster Online Dictionary — Model :
: an example for imitation or emulation
Same source Mirror:
2
a : something that gives a true representation
b : an exemplary model
Antis make my head ache trying to figure them out.
Guess maybe they are living in a fairy tale world
`When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’
Their dishonesty goes to the very core of their being. Don’t be surprised if you find out its Turtles All the Way Down.
Just… wow. It has to take a whole heap of a lot of not knowing what the heck she’s talking about – with errors of legal, technical, historical, military, strategic, and statistical fact – to have produced a comment with that many trivially rebuttable points.
Well if she was really a smart person she wouldn’t be putting her good name out for all to see, hung on a 3-legged horse with a bowel obstruction on race-day.
She has obviously chosen this political hill to die on, and I’m being polite enough to supply her with a very spacious hole!
Mirrors, smoke, lies. All they have.
Honesty, is there a better term for that 1st paragraph you quoted than “ignorant tripe?”
I call it like I see it, and the amount of hysterical and easily refutable BS she packed into one paragraph was astounding.
Yeah this is a common theme. Anti tells a pile of open lies. Pro-Rights person chimes in on said lies and supplies link to the truth. Bigot gets all butthurt that people are being so “Rude” to call her a “Liar”.
Never occurs to her how rude it is lying to strip us of rights and property? Never occurs to her that using her Sister’s unrelated death to push worthless laws is in VERY bad taste? Never occurred to her by focusing on “Gun Death” and laws that are proven to only INCREASE it, might be a bit heartless to those who will be killed under her ideals?
They are really disgusting people, I think we’re pulling our punches. Not that we need to tell her the full-blown truth, better to sugar coat it and get her to spew bigotry, ignorance, and hate, and republish it on our own blogs.
They have the potential to wreck much more havoc and killing than other guns.
Not only has logic fled from her, but her dictionary and thesaurus seem to have made an escape, as well… How does one “wreck” havoc and killing?
Heh, I’m in NO position to correct somebody’s spelling or grammar.
