NRA “Hypocrite”

Link 01B Logo 01A

Synopsis: The National Rifle Association attempts to bolster its public image by using a well-liked president’s children to advance the argument that the most nurturing environment for young kids is a country in which they are surrounded by guns at all times.

  1. Welcome back. I guess this gem was the catalyst to coax you out of retirement.

    1. Thanks, man. Nice to know I've still got a few fans out there.

  2. It sort of bothers me that people like this can't see the obvious flaw in their argument: Obama has armed guards watching over his children because he needs to protect them from the crazy people who have unfettered access to guns and an overweening need to blaze away at anyone who displeases them.

  3. Yay! The Editor (he/she/it/they?) is BACK!
    The internet is a slightly brighter and more snarky place, and I am thankful :)

  4. "Are they President's kids more important than yours?"

    I had the same thought. "Um, yeah, they sorta are."
    Sorry. If YOUR kids get kidnapped, no one has gained emotional leverage over the keeper of the world's largest nuclear arsenal. So yes, they may be precious snowflakes to you, but no one else cares. The world is a cold and heartless place, enjoy your stay.
