National Rifle Association VP says gun owners will make Obama our ex-president in 2012

79. With All Due Respect....

That is an unfair comparison. The ACLU's raison d'etre is to defend the civil rights of ALL Americans, regardless of their political stripe. While I may find the politics of some of the groups they choose to defend to be revolting, I have to admire their even-handed, apolitical approach. Also, they don't stoop to lies and fear-mongering, and you won't find their leaders giving keynote speeches at partisan political gatherings. It's nonsense to pretend that the NRA hasn't turned into an arm of the right wing; that they don't resort to shameless lying and character assassination to advance their political (and corporate) agenda.

Here's my prediction: As soon as Obama gets reelected, the gullible and paranoid will spark (another) episode of panic buying. Once again, prices will skyrocket and the shelves will be (temporarily) bare. Meanwhile, there won't be a single piece of firearms-related legislation enacted by the Obama Administration. The NRA doomsayers will fall strangely silent..... until 2016 when they will once again warn of the catastrophic consequences of voting Democratic.
