Which ones aren’t to blame and why?<br /><br />This seems to be a classic case of showing hypocrisy by equating two things, when in fact it just points to your own hypocrisy if you don’t take the same stance on both of them (if the comparison is indeed valid). It is essentially saying “you’re a hypocrite! Do you know how I know you’re a hypocrite? Because I’m a hypocrite.”TSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-36308289029186568892011-01-12T10:47:33.238+01:002011-01-12T10:47:33.238+01:00DaisyDeadhead:Check out the link to the Politico s...DaisyDeadhead:<br><br><i>Check out the link to the Politico story on my blog, about how the NRA didn't even bother to assemble any talking points about this incident, that's how totally smug they are, and how they OWN the politicians and political process in the USA.</i><br><br>Wait a second--you're upset with the NRA for <i>not</i> making a big public show of fighting the various forcible citizen disarmament idiocies for which this atrocity is being exploited?
