The NRA’s Ad Against Obama is Defined as Nasty, Racist and Even Ignorant
The National Rifle Association does not seem to be able to draw positive attention to itself lately. Now the NRA is feeling the heat after their new ads insult Obama and comment on his daughters. The ad attacks Obama for providing his daughters with armed guards in school but not supporting armed guards for all schools in the United States. The NRA not only calls Obama a hypocrite, but an “elitist hypocrite”. The NRAs’ ad makes the simple argument that the president believes that his kids are more important than the rest of the country.
Some say that the ad is simply a desperate attempt by the NRA to protect the money being made by high gun sales throughout the United States. Others are saying that the ad is a veiled racist attack on the president, striking the sentiments of those who aren’t happy seeing a black man in the White House. Many gun owners are not happy with President Obama being in office, and some have even threatened to shoot the president if he comes to take their guns. The ad is part of a dangerous cycle of hatred toward the first black president.
“The gun group’s spot came under immediate attack.
“What’s wrong with these people, Mika? What’s wrong with these people?” Joe Scarborough, host of MSNBC’S “Morning Joe,” asked co-host Mika Brzezinksi in disbelief.
“They are out of step, out of the mainstream, totally out of sync with what’s going on in our society, and quite frankly after seeing that, I think some of the people who run that thing are sick,” Brzezinksi said. “I really do. I think they are sick in the head.
“And I’m serious,” she continued. “I am embarrassed right now.”
Melody Barnes, the former director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, said the country should brace for more ads like the NRA spot.
“And that’s what’s going to infiltrate the debate,” Barnes said. “Those are the kinds of visits members of Congress are going to get, and that’s why people have been scared to take on this issue even after tragedy after tragedy in our communities around the country, and the American people have to be prepared for that and make a decision what kind of country do we want to live in and the message that they want to convey to their policymakers about the kinds of laws and the kinds of policies that we’re going to have.”

Of course NRA racist. Racism will be even more since Obama became president. http://youtube.com/watch?v=HDzZJgCXhS8
Sons of Prometheus get your flame throwers ready because the Pterodactyls are coming to pick your bones clean. Guard well your mind because what comes forth from it are the issues of life. There is no brilliance or viability in a monochromatic view of human social existence. In fact it is this type of thinking that set up the current oppression that the world is experiencing. It is the platform upon which the rich stand while fomenting the confusion and mayhem
among the masses who turn upon and kill one another. If you listen to chaos you will exhibit the character of Chaos a true son of The Destroyer. Inn order to be a creator you must ask the Creator for His way of thinking and do what He says. The way you think is the way you are. Like minds have unity with a constructive harmless and very powerful view of what the world is and will be under the governance of the One who created it. The universe was created to be inhabited by beings who do right and create purpose, beauty and huge loving families. [ "I am what I am and your approval is not necessary."] Never let another’s agenda define your destiny. Only your Creator can bring you to perfection. But you must do your part and never give up.
The fringe element aka “mental defects” of the NRA may attempt to do another Branch Davidian/Waco. Individuals with arsenals tend to congregate together, and isolated themselves for FEAR of Gov. takeovers……I feel they will do anything to have a standoff with Federal Agents. These people hate the government and really want a confrontation because they are just that insane……It’s not the Government we should fear, it’s the Yahoo’s that want to fight the government!
@AMAZINGGRACE… I agree about the Yahoos….the rightwing nuts who hate the Gov’t. It is one thing to disagree with politicians …or to even work to change some laws. That is part of democracy. But there are many fanatics who want to totally get rid of our Gov’t. — some WHITE MILITIAS, Neo-Nazis, Confederates, Birchers, Tea Partiers…and the like — who have armed themselves and are pushing to have another “Civil War.”
They hate the mere thought of that Black man, with his Black family and black dog in the White House. They have been the ones who are yelping and fabricating lies about him…that he is a “communist, Muslim, terrorist who was not born here.” the NRA is simply interested in keeping lots of guns out there.
And if we look back in history…you will find that the roots of these “white power groups” and the “anti-government clowns” goes way back to the days of the Civil War…when the 2nd AMENDMENT was put in the CONSTITUTION for the purposes of the “SLAVE PATROLS” to keep and bear arms.
Pres. Obama has not done one thing that orders anyone or makes a law to TAKE AWAY ALL THE GUNS. He is concerned about “gun safety” and all the wanton murders.
“The NRA says that more guns makes us Safe…
On Wed night there were CPS Security, Chicago
State Police Ill. State Police and Chicago Police
everywhere, yet 17 yr old Tyrone Lawson was killed!
More guns is not the answer! We must shut off the
faucet of easy access to guns and change this
violent culture that America has adopted.”
