ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

NRA propaganda doesn't belong on DU

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Feb 5, 2013, 02:54 AM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Not certain why this is being posted since no commentary was included. Therefore, I agree with the alerter that NRA propaganda doesn't belong on DU especially since it belittles the children of the president.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: It's a political Cartoon from a well known cartoonist and it's a satire of the NRA ad. Pretty funny and biting one as well. It's anti-NRA. Next time try watching the cartoon first.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: um - it's anti-nra.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I'm in a dilemma: Is this clip satire or truly NRA? my guess is satire - which makes the alert a farce.

If it's not satire, then it is so close to it that it's actually counterproductive to the NRA. That's why I'd rather err in leaving it than hiding it.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: i feel badly for the numbskull who thinks this is NRA propaganda....it's satire. watch it.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Alerter doesn't recognize satire.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

DIK=Juror no.4 - No, not THAT Juror no. 4.

"Sarcastically challenged" has been added to my vocabulary.

Many conservatives think Stephen Colbert is on the level, genuinely imitating Bill O'Reilly, not mocking him.
