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.

"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.
