Olbermann (D) names Scalia "Worst Person in the World", calls him a clown, and bashes the Supreme Court for verdict in DC v Heller. Equates it all to only having the right to own muskets and flint locks....... Media bias? What media bias?


This guy makes me want to puke:

Solus, check this article out from 2003. Co-ordinated is a very polite way to phrase it. I am not trying to bad mouth the NRA or Alan Gura, just providing a full context. The NRA basically got told to shove it, but you can read that in the link and draw your own conclusions....


Thanks, Rebel.  I didn't remember the details and chose to use coordinate as a safe description.

In any case, your link shows that this action was well thought out by or team.

Maybe we could have won more, but I'd not think any of us will be "second guessing" this guys after the win.

There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

I haven't had a drink in over 15 years.  Thursday evening after trying to absorb as much factual information as I could find and reading some blogs and forum post on this historic decision I briefly considered having a shot of good whiskey to celebrate.  I didn't.  This is only the second time in 15 years that I considered such a move.  I guess what I'm trying to say is that the historic significance of the decision made a big impact on me as did the first and only other life changing event that I considered having a drink.

This guy makes me want to puke:

Obermann is somewhat of a hypocrite by using a broadcast media to exercise his 1st A rights rather than a hand operated press like those in use when the 1st A was written....

Nice! ;D

Yeah, he of all people should fully appreciate the right to bear arms so that we may be not be controlled by a tyrannical government - or as he would  call it, the Bush Administration.

Did anyone else notice the irony of the other story on that paper...ATF seizes rifles from Blackwater?
