Since The NRA Posted The Obama Kids Ad - How Many TImes Has It Been Aired On MSNBC?....

I'm sure that the NRA is happy that their strategy has played out. They posted this despicable ad on their website. Note - their website. I don't watch Fox or CNN and all I can speak for is MSNBC - but that ad has been played on MSNBC a number of times and it is being aired for free - the NRA isn't paying for that air time.

Now I know when MSNBC airs it - they criticize and damn it - BUT - any gun nuts out there in la la land that happen to catch the airing of the ad are not listening to the criticism. They are out there agreeing with the ad.

Somehow MSNBC and any network that is criticizing it - should maybe describe the ad - but not give it any air time. In my opinion - giving it air time is playing right into the NRA strategy for putting that ad out.

24 hour sensationalist coverage of mass shootings is another.

But lets face it DU's gungeon help pay for that ad. So we all should do a better job, but as they say money is more important than lives.

And it's fine with me to remind anyone who does watch how extreme, off-the-deep-end the NRA is. Especially when it is pointed out that they are LYING about armed guards at the school in question (the Secret Service is there, as they are required to be).
