1. Link on the statement?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Saw it on Rachel Maddow

[Exilednight]

5. Let us know when you get it from a reliable source.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. I will be more specific.

It was a clip of a congressperson participating in the sit in who said it.

He might have said the NRA said the participants of the sit in are supporting terrorists and criminals but I can't be sure. I am not a stenographer.

[anigbrowl]

11. Link or it didn't happen

I know you're just mentioning what you saw on the news, but it's useless to everyone else without a link because there's no way to verify it. You're literally wasting people's time when you make or repeat unverifiable claims, and I don't like having my time wasted.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. I am reporting what I saw.

You're literally wasting people's time when you make or repeat unverifiable claims, and I don't like having my time wasted.

I resent being called a liar. I am reporting what I saw. Make it worth my time and I will get a transcript of her entire show to demonstrate the veracity of my post. If you don't like what I have to post i respectfully submit you can put me on "ignore"

Well, well, well...DSB IS A TRUTH TELLER:

17. Nobody is calling you a liar, I just don't want my time wasted

I appreciate you going to find the link in the end. I never post anything without a link because it's the only thing that allows people to follow up such a claim in a timely fashion. Not everyone has a DVR or even a TV, that's why it's good to give people citations so that they can follow up on their own.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. Respectfully, how could I provide a link when I was contemporaneously reporting what I was seeing ?

It wasn't something I read... As soon as Oasis mentioned it was on the Media Matters website I went to their website and got documentation.

I might be old but I am still sentient. I know what I saw.

[Maru Kitteh]

30. That's your choice, just like clicking out of a thread is your choice

And wastes decidedly less of your time than spending the time to chastise someone for not conforming to a code of conduct that exists in your head, not to mention remaining in the thread to do the same.

[tallahasseedem]

28. No worries...

some people just like to be shit stirrers...almost habitual.

[oasis]

15. Media Matters website has it. (eom)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. Do you think she will apologize?

[anigbrowl]

19. He won't, so don't hold your breath

Providing a link to a claim is really basic netiquette, not least because you don't know when people will be reading your post so referring to a time-specific broadcast (eg 'on TV right now') is simply not helpful to people. You'll have a more enjoyable internet experience by adopting this as a habit, I promise.

[oasis]

22. If a poster had doubts about sources, it seems like the polite

thing to do would be to do their own research before calling a longtime member's integrity into question.

That being said, you're contributions to these boards will always be welcomed and encouraged by by me, link or no link.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

23. I was almost starting to think I was imagining things...

I did a good job of transcription.

[Maru Kitteh]

31. Nothing wrong with eyewitness account and sharing it with the community friend

There was no problem with anything you did.

[Hoyt]

2. Who cares what a bunch of paranoid white wingers say?

[scscholar]

29. This. They put due process above safety.

That means they don''t care about life.

[friendly_iconoclast]

32. As well they should. And your conclusions about them are, politely, bunk.

[Thinkingabout]

4. But the NRA is still wanting to sell their weapons to terrorists who is on a no fly list, the

terrorists is the NRA.

[workinclasszero]

10. Who else but the NRA fights to put

military style assault weapons into the hands of people not even allowed on a commercial airliner??

Yes the NRA is a terrorist enabling organization!

[Her Sister]

7. NRA, now an expert?

[Blaukraut]

8. The NRA is projecting

If a terrorist organization label can be attached to any group, it has to be the NRA.

[Chasstev365]

9. Calling the NRA the lunatic fringe is an insult to the lunatic fringe!

It has literally become a terrorist organization.

[Dem2]

12. They are pushing the limits of civility

[Logical]

13. I wish I knew how many DU members belong to the NRA. They sould be banned. nt

[friendly_iconoclast]

18. Ask The Administrators awaits your request:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1259

Let us know how it works out...

[Logical]

20. You are a member? Let me guess, you need it for gun insurance BS. LOL?

[friendly_iconoclast]

24. Nope. I despise them and have for years. I also figured out mindsets like that long ago:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1259

It's more of the same "If you're not with us, you're supporting the terraists" horseshit.

I've been outspoken in my disdain for the National Republican Armory here, but since I
don't hew completely to the line demanded by the gun control Puritans,
I am deemed to be a NRA supporter by them.

[Logical]

25. LOL, no different than a DU member being a member of the RNC. We would not like that either....

Maybe you don't get it.

[friendly_iconoclast]

26. "Maybe you don't get it." I get it. I also get that it's up to DU management, not you or me...

...to change the ToS.

Like I said, if you want to get the ball rolling on banning NRA members, Ask The Admins
is the place to start.

I also note that you have not, as of the time of my posting this,
asked for such a change there...

[Logical]

27. I'll take it to skinner. Should be in the TOS. Not gun support but NRA support. nt
