When you start comparing a democratically elected President who is not only our first Black President but a moderate progressive, to Adolph Hitler, you have arrived at a point where you are literally leaving a loaded gun on the table, saying the first person who wants to come along and use this, go ahead, be our guest.
I first saw this on the great site of True Blue Texan.
He touches very strongly on one of our favorite topics: shared responsibility. I'm almost willing to admit that Mr. Thompson cannot be held responsible for what his clients do with the guns he sells them. But, would you apply the same thinking to the Rush Limbaughs and Glenn Becks and Bill O'Riellys of the world. Mr. Schaeffer was referring to the Adkisson case in which the killer actually stated that he was motivated by those guys.
What's your opinion?
So basically what's being said is "You can't criticize him because he's black and someone might kill him because of it."
ReplyDeleteBullshit. He's the President and deserves to be mocked, ridiculed, criticized, and compared to unpopular historical figures just like any other President.
If some nutjob really wanted to try to kill him they wouldn't need extra justification. Someone willing to kill a President is sufficiently deranged already.
I'm sick of comparing people we hate to Hitler. I say we start comparing people we hate to Genghis Khan. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteYeah, sure Mike W., just like all the presidents have been compared to guys like Hitler. You keep defending the stupidest things.
ReplyDeletePP, thanks for a great laugh. Genghis Khan would work fine. Then guys like Mike W. and Bob S. would defend it with their dying breath, repeating it so many times that it begins to sound reasonable.

ReplyDeleteyou mean like your completely unsubstantiated bullshit "Famous 10%?"
Mike W., I mentioned it on another thread for Bob S., that what you call "unsubstantiated bullshit," is nothing of the kind.
ReplyDeleteMy 10% theory is a simple matter of looking at a large group of people and recognizing they have all the same problems as anybody else. That's all. What do you say. that there are no wife-beaters or alcoholics or drug addicts or depressives or people with rage problems among the gun owners? Or do you say all those people should have guns if they want?
