Can you provide evidence that her article is misleading? Since neither of us have tried to register a gun in DC, you don't have the slightest idea. Are you saying Think Progress wouldn't or hasn't written misleading or inaccurate? Rather than bitching about the source, show were she was full of shit. Ryan is a red herring on this issu

I've debunked plenty of right-wing propaganda here, but I shouldn't have to, because this is supposed to be a progressive message board. Paul Ryan is not a red herring. What you are doing with right-wing gun propaganda is equivalent to posting Paul Ryan articles in GD and then claiming that if Paul Ryan were really wrong, instead of complaining about the source, people should just debunk it. Wrong. This is not the venue for right-wing propaganda.

Do you ever wonder why you can't find any non-right-wing sources repeating the NRA talking points? Because it would be really odd if there were all these truths and cogent arguments about guns, but for some reason they only showed up in right-wing press. I can't think of any other topic that is anything like that.

Umm... yes, he's on the board of the NRA, or didn't you notice? DanTex Sep 2012 #92

how do you get elected to the board on the NRA? gejohnston Sep 2012 #94

And yet you have no problem calling gun controllers "classist" based on Bloomberg. DanTex Sep 2012 #95

I said there is a classiest element to it gejohnston Sep 2012 #97

And there is a racist and violent element to the gun culture. DanTex Sep 2012 #99

I provide examples gejohnston Sep 2012 #102

Objective standards. beevul Sep 2012 #84

You should seriously consider organizing your sentences in paragraphs. DanTex Sep 2012 #86

other than his boiler plate shtick, gejohnston Sep 2012 #87

You tell me. You're the one who think's he's a troll. DanTex Sep 2012 #89

Actually gejohnston Sep 2012 #91

You only think his remarks are inflammatory because you disagree with them. DanTex Sep 2012 #93

for the same reason you are not. gejohnston Sep 2012 #96

Still just a matter of differing opinions and styles. DanTex Sep 2012 #98

If he didn't gejohnston Sep 2012 #100

Making excuses for trolls. DanTex Sep 2012 #101

Who hangs around this dump the most? ileus Sep 2012 #17

Why is Hoyt a martyr but gejohnston Sep 2012 #21

LOL. Justice for Hoyt! DanTex Sep 2012 #26

where is the justice for bupkus? gejohnston Sep 2012 #28

Hoyt was a long-time contributor. In fact, he was considered as a host DanTex Sep 2012 #30

My opinion differs n/t shadowrider Sep 2012 #32

Of course. You are a pro-gunner, so you found Hoyt's views offensive. DanTex Sep 2012 #34

Anybody who would consider themselves civil would find Hoyt's views offensive. Clames Sep 2012 #59

Its not hoyts views that are offensive. beevul Sep 2012 #76

Perhaps you should... discntnt_irny_srcsm Sep 2012 #33

LOL. Hey, gejohnston brought it up! DanTex Sep 2012 #35

bullshit gejohnston Sep 2012 #36

He didn't equate you to the Klan. Please. DanTex Sep 2012 #40

I am equating no one to anyone. shadowrider Sep 2012 #42

Hey gejohnston, did you read that? DanTex Sep 2012 #44

At least he contributes to the discussion without trying to disrupt it. gejohnston Sep 2012 #46

LOL. Saying that gun control caused the holocaust is "contributing to the discussion"? DanTex Sep 2012 #48

does my sig line make me a troll? gejohnston Sep 2012 #53

Prove I said, "Gun control caused the holocaust" with a link. Otherwise please retract n/t shadowrider Sep 2012 #75

I never said that n/t shadowrider Sep 2012 #71

read the dictionary definition of internet troll gejohnston Sep 2012 #45

I disagree. DanTex Sep 2012 #47

And I have given you a way to counter that "one-sided abuse of power." oneshooter Sep 2012 #49

Or krispos could just start acting like a fair and impartial host. DanTex Sep 2012 #51

If all you are willing to do is bitch and moan about it, then nothing will be done. oneshooter Sep 2012 #56

He has been. Your opinion establishes no fact to say otherwise. Clames Sep 2012 #60

LOL. A gungeon poll. DanTex Sep 2012 #62

I don't think of myself as a fanatic gejohnston Sep 2012 #65

Hoyt never pointed that out. He said it was biased. I asked him repeatedly to explain shadowrider Sep 2012 #74

He has been and continues to be so ProgressiveProfessor Sep 2012 #67

What you consider humorous Reasonable_Argument Sep 2012 #50

That makes it even more humorous. DanTex Sep 2012 #66

they try to disrupt, and add nothing. gejohnston Sep 2012 #52

The gejohnston fantasy world. DanTex Sep 2012 #54

Prove I said "gun control caused the holocaust" with a link. Otherwise, please retract n/t shadowrider Sep 2012 #77

Can you show me, with a post and link, where I said gun control caused the holocaust? shadowrider Sep 2012 #72

In my opinion Krispos is doing a good job. Perhaps you should run a poll. (n/t) spin Sep 2012 #22

While a poll is a Democratic exercise... discntnt_irny_srcsm Sep 2012 #24

After reading many of your posts glacierbay Sep 2012 #61

Thanks for your support, however I have no desire to take on that job. ... spin Sep 2012 #68

reminds me of something Will Rogers said gejohnston Sep 2012 #69

Can't says I blame you. glacierbay Sep 2012 #78

As Hoyt pointed out, most regulars are pro-gun, so polls lean heavily in that direction. DanTex Sep 2012 #80

Probably true. ... spin Sep 2012 #82

No way! GreenStormCloud Sep 2012 #23

LOL bongbong Sep 2012 #31
