JUNE 29, 2017: NRA Issues Call for White Supremacy and Armed Insurrection

The gun lobby's new "recruitment ad" is really a call for white supremacy and armed insurrection, deliberately crafted to stir anger and fear.


Take a look at the ad below and ask whether the National Rifle Association can go any lower. Ponder this flagrant call for violence, this insidious advocacy of hate delivered with a sneer, this threat of civil war, this despicable use of propaganda to arouse rebellion against the rule of law and the ideals of democracy

On the surface this is a recruitment video for the National Rifle Association. But what you are really about to see is a call for white supremacy and armed insurrection, each word and image deliberately chosen to stir the feral instincts of troubled souls who lash out in anger and fear:

lower lip gets behind the upper teeth and then suddenly projects forward as if launched...

If makes her look and sound very angry and "disgusted".

Never mind what she is saying, just the facial tics and manner of speaking... she is filled with rage.

It's hard to believe after watching a clip from their CPAC performance they they are still allowed to operate in this country, they only thing that separates them from ISIS and Al Qaeda is they're speaking English.
