The Other Side

The CSM isn’t the only ones writing about the attendees of the NRA Convention in AZ.

The steadfast believers in gun people control of the Leftosphere also kept an eye on the proceedings.

The National Rifle Association is having its big annual convention in Arizona this week, which means we’ll see the usual parade of fearmongering and liberal-bashing on steroids that these affairs always are — with a special emphasis on President Obama, that scary Muslim left-wing radical who wants to take all our guns away.

It’s all paranoia, all the time. As you can see from clips above, all the raging talk at the convention is about how gun sales are through the roof because everyone’s afraid Obama is going on a gun-grabbing spree.

You can hit the link above and watch the video supplied by PacNW Hatemonger, David Neiwert, at the Crooks and Liars blog. At least watch the first couple minutes, which is from the CNBC show The Call, essentially repeating what Neiwert posts: That the whole mindset of those attending the convention, if not the whole firearms owning population, can be encapsulated in one word.

Fear.

Pretty typical is Ted Nugent, who’s blogging the affair from Arizona for Human Events and coming up with some prime bon mots (“Write this down: Gun Free Zones are a felon’s playgrounds. Ban Gun Free Zones now. Join the NRA.”) while drawing a bead on the bottom line: Keep your hands off my guns, you dirty stinking liberals.

…..

That’s the stuff circulating for mainstream-media consumption. But always at these shows, and around them, there’s the gaseous nebula of conspiracism.

Get it? According to Neiwert, who is, for reasons unfathomable by logical thinking people, respected by the Leftosphere on this topic, the “paranoia” of the gun owning public is all in their heads. They have no other reason to be worried about the infringement of their civil rights by the current Administration.

Don’t forget, Neiwert is the guy who thinks it is OK for the co-poster at his personal website to advocate for the confiscation of privately owned hunting rifles whenever The One stops by a city to get his salad metaphorically tossed by the media.
