I'm not sure which gets a bigger rolleyes from me. The video itself or the butthurt it has stirred from the left.

You're kidding. No, really. You're kidding. Right?

Which video and why? Just curious. I couldn't agree more on the left's response.

It's my opinion, deal with it.

I'm talking about the ad. While I enjoy a good troll when I see one, I'm allergic to melodrama.

Arc, you and I disagree on this one and I seldom disagree with your posts. I'm a little surprised but I'm pretty sure we're not far apart on pressing issues.

Hey, I know the NRA lost its biggest spokesman when he became a private citizen again, but do they really need to try this hard? We don't all have to agree on everything, fellas.

And the left goes crazy...

NRA ad offers violent, us-vs.-them pitch that demonizes Donald Trump protesters and even comedians

http://www.oregonlive.com/toda...iolent_us-vs-th.html

A new online ad promoting the National Rifle Association exploits America's political divisions and calls for a "clenched fist of truth."



Come on --- Clenched Fist. They are upset over the use of the term Clenched Fist ???

I'm no fan of hers, either.

Yes, she likes guns, yes, she's pretty attractive, yes, she pisses off the left, but that doesn't mean much to me. We can do much, much better, in terms of "our face" or "our voice".

This one I like, doesn't trigger roly eyes.

I think she's awesome. I wish I had a street full of neighbors just like her.

Who's running the NRA these days?

The Second Amendment articulates one of our fundamental, individual civil rights which we enjoy simply as human beings. As such, our rights...YOUR rights...transcend all other considerations. Whether we like it or not, they apply to everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe.

Our sociopolitical differences must be settled in the arena of civil discourse and under the rule of law. It's not too late for us to solve our problems in accordance with our bedrock American values, just because a few thousand masked hard-left anarchists and misguided, bought-off racists say it is. It's only too late when WE say it is. They only win when we give up on that which makes us Americans. Nothing the violent extremists can do can kill the American Idea.

Only our own reactionary hatred can.

I'm really lost to the opposition to this ad. It seems perfectly normal to me.

Nowhere in it did she call for instigating violence.

Yeah. Don't get it. Everything she said in that video is spot on. All she calls for is fighting it with "the clenched fist of truth."

Well, the "opposition" or vocal butthurt about the ad, is because it's all they've got now, and what they do. They need to make sure that the pawns stay outraged. To me, it gets a rolleyes, to a leftist, it comes off as a call to violence apparently. Does it really? No, I don't think so. Especially because the activities _of_ the left it describes are truthful. I haven't seen anyone butthurt about the commercial also complain that people shouldn't riot.

I'd say that it does highlight how a leftist thinks. Whereas you and I can distinguish between use of force for defence, and wanton violence, the left can't or won't, because it doesn't fit how they view the world. Which is currently:

Violence is bad, unless you're fighting the police or destroying your own community. That is now "self expression." They need these conditions so the next sack of shit they prop up can be the one with the solution.
