Father Of Virginia Tech Victim Makes Case For Hillary Clinton In New Super PAC Ad

[ProudToBeLiberal]

Priorities USA, a super PAC supporting Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, released a powerful digital ad Friday that features Peter Read, whose daughter Mary Read was killed during the massacre at Virginia Tech in 2007.

Read, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, recalls seeing news of the shooting on television and trying to get ahold of his 19-year-old daughter. She was one of 32 students and faculty killed that day, in what remains the nation’s deadliest shooting rampage by a single gunman.

“Hillary Clinton is addressing the issue of gun violence prevention,” Read says in the ad. “It’s clear from the way she talks about it that she’s talking from conviction, and I do think Hillary Clinton has been very forthright in calling out the leadership of these organizations like the NRA.”

“I wish we never had to talk about it, but we have to talk about it, and she is,” he adds

It's a very powerful ad. It tugs at the heartstrings.

That this guy learn what the candidate our President called "Annie Oakley" had to say about guns during her 2008 campaign...

4. Why don't you inform him.

I am sure you can establish your moral superiority over him and closeness to the issue to lecture him.

5. Oh

You don't like me to point out that in supporting Clinton on gun control he has EXACTLY the same chance as flipping a coin? Too bad...

6. My esteemed interlocutor...

My esteemed interlocutor, there is no cause for you to respond to me in such a truculent tone. I was merely providing you a path to convince Mr. Read to switch his support and allegiance from Secretary Clinton to the independent senator from Vermont turned Democrat, Bernie Sanders.



With warmest regards,

7. Yeah-you pull that "interlocutor" nonsense a lot...

and I've ignored it. But no-I am not in fact engaging in a minstrel show.

"The Christy Minstrels established the basic structure of the minstrel show in the 1840s.[81] A crowd-gathering parade to the theater often preceded the performance.[82] The show itself was divided into three major sections. During the first, the entire troupe danced onto stage singing a popular song.[83] Upon the instruction of the interlocutor, a sort of host, they sat in a semicircle. Various stock characters always took the same positions: the genteel interlocutor in the middle, flanked by Tambo and Bones, who served as the endmen or cornermen. The interlocutor acted as a master of ceremonies and as a dignified, if pompous, straight man."

So you can just drop that nonsense in conversations with me. Good Day

My esteemed interlocutor, there is no need to address me in such a hostile tone. That doesn't reflect well on our august board. I ask not for myself, but for the rest of our community you reflect on your actions.
