Clearly, you are not a police officer. Therefore, the management, our employees and pretty much everyone within a 100-mile radius would very much appreciate it if you would put away that ego-fluffing man-toy that is designed solely to kill other living creatures and induce fear and ignorance as it regresses every hesitant advancement in the human soul back to caveman grunting lunkishness. Thank you again!
I was tipped off to this article on Sebastian's blog. Of course he didn't like what Mark had to say.
What's your opinion? Don't you think there's something wrong with gun owners insisting on open carry in places where it's not welcome? Do you think Sebastian's response was a bit much since Morford was only talking about the open carry protesters, I admit in a very ungenerous way, using phrases like "caveman grunting lunkishness," but it wasn't gun owners in general he was attacking in his article. I'd say "sarcastic and nasty," but "a piece of intolerant garbage," seems a bit severe to me.
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.
Notice the words Morford used. It's the typical hoplophobe shaming language.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, you never hear any pro-open carry people in the press refer to people who don't carry as nutless pansies who would rather contract out their personal safety, than protect themselves.
"Don't you think there's something wrong with gun owners insisting on open carry in places where it's not welcome? "
Imagine if the question were, "Don't you think there is something wrong with Muslims insisting on being in places where they are not welcome?"
Anyone who would ask such a question would quickly be labeled a bigot. And rightfully so. Morford is no different. Sebastian is right in his assessment.
"Clearly, you are not a police officer."
ReplyDeleteSo, I assume that "ego-fluffing man-toy that is designed solely to kill other living creatures and induce fear and ignorance as it regresses every hesitant advancement in the human soul back to caveman grunting lunkishness" ceases to be such if you have some magic talisman (badge).
Typical hoplophobe behavior. He should get counselling.

I'd read Morford's article before and it's dead on.
ReplyDeleteI can understand Sebastian doesn't like it; I imagine he gets touchy when the truth strikes way too close to home.
Of course, we're seeing AzRed compare his fetish to a religion--which is probably close to the truth.

ReplyDeleteAlong with free speech, due process, and all those other rights bigots tend to hate.
More bigoted BS. Shows how discriminatory anti-rights people can get.
ReplyDeleteThis "article" goes on about judging others and assuming that they're "up to no good" based soley upon lawful activity.
A better analogy instead of Muslims would be "Don't you think there's something wrong with gays insisting on being in a place where they aren't welcome?"
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps, "Don't you think there's something wrong with black people insisting on being in a place where they aren't wanted?"
Tons and tons of "liberals" are all for you know, like rights and stuff.
Except for those "rights" that are you know, like icky and stuff.
Rights don't apply to "the right," don't you know?
You guys do love your comparisons. Can I try one that might work a bit better than either the Muslim or the gay one?
ReplyDelete"Don't you think there's something wrong with tree surgeons with chainsaws hanging from their equipment belt insisting on being in a place where they aren't wanted?"

ReplyDeleteMuch better comparison. A gun is just a tool anyway and nothing more. I am glad to see you are coming around!
