The NRA is swiftboating Obama

[bluedem77]

That didn't take long.

Factcheck.org has examined the NRA's claims that Obama 1) Wants to ban handguns used at homes for self-defense and 2) Wants to ban all deer hunting ammunition, and has called them false:

Let's be clear: The Swifties made stuff up about Kerry, hence the word "Swiftboating". Now the NRA is using the same tricks.

1. once McCain chose Palin, the NRA released many millions of $$$$

2. Obama needs to come and be clear about it then /nt

[AzNick]

7. Repeat "I will not take your gun away"

Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Only those who believe he is a Muslim will refuse to believe him, but who cares, they are hopeless.

[still_one]

9. You are right /nt

[FVZA_Colonel]

27. Hasn't he already said that?

It could never be said enough, but I'm sure at least one ad has said that, and he has said it in his speeches.

[AzNick]

28. As I said: he needs to repeat it.

Like with children. You need to repeat, constantly, consistently.

[FVZA_Colonel]

29. No, I understand that.

And I think he has a good base, but launching even more into that (ads that expand on the current one, continued refferences in speeches, sending out the surrogates, etc.) would be beneficial.

3. right wing fascist organizations will say /do anything wont they? maybe the reason we need guns

is to protect ourselves from the NRA?

5. "Don't tell me we can't uphold the 2nd Amendment while keeping AK-47s out of the hands of criminals.

>> "The reality of gun ownership may be different for hunters in rural Ohio than they are for those plagued by gang violence in Cleveland, but don't tell me we can't uphold the Second Amendment while keeping AK-47s out of the hands of criminals." <<

That is a reasonable position, but the wingnuts want ZERO regulations on guns. I look forward to Obama arguing his case because the loons don't have a leg to stand on.

6. NRA went after Kerry full bore, too!

I remember boarding a plane and finding an
NRA magazine in the seat back in front of
me.

Holy Christmas! What a SMEAR!

8. Their nightmare is armed Liberals.....n/t

10. This librool has a 32 calliber revolver

and a 12 gauge shotgun. I'm not worried about 'Bama takin/ my guns away. Why are they?

[nolabels]

13. They sound more like school boys, be in our gun gang or your out

Of course it could also be they think a firearm are extension of their penis. The only problem with that kind of thinking is where does that governor from Alaska fit in :shrug:

[maseman]

20. If that were the case I'd need a .22

I'm Irish.

[nolabels]

23. It's not how big it is but more of how well you use it (of course we all know that :-) )

Here is convoluted debate from some gun buffs about the effectiveness (we only assume the debate all has to do with ammo size of the firearm )

11. When people's 401K plans are melting in front of their eyes, the appeal to gun-lovers falls flat

[izquierdista]

21. Obama won't take their guns

But the pawn shop sure will. :evilgrin:

[Life Long Dem]

12. The NRA are nothing but a bunch of repukes.

[Cha]

14. They're worse than that..they're a bunch of lying,

fascist A$$holes.

[rucky]

15. Their worst nightmare is to have their members find out...

that nobody's going to take their guns away.

Imagine what that would do their membership numbers, much less their reason to exist.

[doc03]

16. No one should be surprised by this

the NRA couldn't care less about guns the NRA is just an arm of the Republicon Party. The problem is there are thousands of ignorant people that base their voting decision on what the NRA tells them.

[DiamondKrosse]

17. Obama should have

been more careful in Pennsylvania. I know they woulda gone after Hillary, but Obama's comment antagonized them more than she could have

[RagAss]

18. Bearing False Witness....Fuck the NRA !

[HughMoran]

19. Fucking neighbor just put up a sign "GUN OWNERS FOR MCCAIN"

Fucking Freeper neighbor :mad:

[progressoid]

22. No way.

NRA lying?

[FLyellowdog]

24. How can they...

use Obama's logo on their mailings? Isn't this copyrighted or something?

[KathieG]

25. They make me sick...I personally know two people who live by what the NRA tells them...no matter

what I say...I'm wrong, they believe whatever the NRA tells them. They have been "told" not to listen to us...they have been told not to listen to Obama. The NRA is a dirty organization.

[Lugnut]

26. How dumb are these people?

Every four years the NRA hauls out this same worn out canard. And every four years the dimwit segment of their membership rolls fall for it hook, line and sinker while continuing to own their guns. I would think they'd have caught on to the scam by now. You really can't fix stupid.
