Give it a rest. The world is full of idiots. Beck this...Palin that....it's the only thing that some of you cling to. What happened yesterday is sad...it's unfortunate...but it happened. There's no changing it and there's probably not a way of preventing it....
Well, I guess it's better than clinging to my guns.
No I will not give it a rest. Seriously.
Many, many people have been warning about the dangers of this kind of propaganda for years, and I will continue to post my own opinion of it.
If you don't like it, don't read it.
"Clinging to guns," was Obama's line during a speech particularly bigoted towards the religious and conservative.
No s***.
I heard Beck, Hannity and the other Musketeer, Limbaugh, re-play the "they cling to guns and religion" video over and over again. It was a joke.
I don't think he was being bigoted towards religion and conservatives; I think he was being honest.
I've seen the video, Obama did not make the speech in a joking manner. He has serious and it was a bigoted statement.
Sorry, to read you share the same views.
I meant
I was joking. I didn't say I shared the same views; I just used what Obama said in a joking manner.
I believe what Obama was speaking of in his "cling to God and Guns" statement, is the entire "right wing conspiracy" ( to borrow a term from Hillary) to gin up some notion that Obama, or the Democrats , have an agenda to take away your guns and change or force you to abandon your religion.
Rachel Maddow went to Alaska and went to the campaign headquarters of that guy who was running for senator. At the time, he refused to give an interview (although later on he gave her one , of a sort, on the run).
At any rate, as she was leaving she started talking to his supporters. They were against Obama because "he's going to take away our guns" or "he's against guns" or "he hates our guns" .
Rachel ask each of them where they got that idea, what thing had he done to make them think it. Their answer, universal, I don't know, I just know he's against them.
Well, I know, it's a years long campaign of dissemination of lies from right wing media that these sheeple listen to.
So, I think, what he was really saying , but being nice, is "they turn to their lies and ignorance". If that is not what he ment, then it is what I mean.
