Politics.

And its MSNBC....What do you expect?

[jdgregory84]

Just another example of people getting offended too easily. Didn't the liberals target Sarah Palin's daughter during the 2008 elections?

Was it the most tasteful of ads? Eh, probably not. But listening to those whinny as babies on MSNBC was enough to make me turn it off.

The liberals cannot fathom an organization that won't fold to them and beg for mercy.

[line-em-up]

I don't see a damn thing wrong with the ad. It shows how him and the other powerful seem to think they need guns for them, but somehow we don't need them for our children. How can you get more simple than that? Those people and MSLSD are indicative of the leftwing nutjobs that want to take over our country. Fuck you Joe and whomever want to twist this around.

Their dramatic reactions made me giggle. They act as if they just witnessed a puppy being set on fire then hurled into a box of defenseless bunnies.

That's real!

That's real!

That is disturbing then. I don't watch any of the news stations, I read BBC World News and/or DFWMustangs.net for news I can use.

It's the same reaction you would get if a peasant wandered into the King's throne room and advised him he was a hypocrite. The Jester, hand of the king, and his disciples would recoil in disbelief casting scorn on the peasant. This kind of treatment is unacceptable to a king and will not be tolerated. Your family's name will be destroyed.

And here's the destruction I was talking about:

Bob Schieffer Likens Obama 'Taking on the Gun Lobby' to Hunt for Bin Laden, 'Defeating the Nazis'

Bob Schieffer somehow topped Chris Matthews during CBS News's special coverage of President Obama's gun control press conference on Wednesday, as he became the worst caricature of a foaming-at-the-mouth cheerleader for the chief executive. Schieffer lauded "one of the best speeches I've ever heard him [Obama] deliver", and compared Obama's new gun control agenda to Lyndon Johnson's push for civil rights legislation in the 1960s.

The CBS veteran even went so far to liken the President's cause to the ten-year hunt for 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden and the difficult endeavor of winning World War II [audio available here; video below the jump]:

BOB SCHIEFFER: ...Let's remember: there was considerable opposition when Lyndon Johnson went to the Congress and...presented some of the most comprehensive civil rights legislation in the history of this country. Most people told him he couldn't get it done, but he figured out a way to do it. And that's what Barack Obama is going to have to do...what happened in Newtown was probably the worst day in this country's history since 9/11. We found Osama bin Laden. We tracked him down. We changed the way that we dealt with that problem. Surely, finding Osama bin Laden; surely, passing civil rights legislation, as Lyndon Johnson was able to do; and before that, surely, defeating the Nazis, was a much more formidable task than taking on the gun lobby.

Bob Schieffer, CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent; Screen Cap From 16 January 2013 Special Coverage of President Obama's White House Press Conference On Gun Control | NewsBusters.orgSchieffer then lobbied for the Democratic politician to do everything in his power to get stricter gun control passed, as bluntly outlined the apparent stakes for the country:

SCHIEFFER: This is a turning point in this country, and the President is going to have to do more than just make a speech about it. This is one of the best speeches I've ever heard him deliver, but it's going to take more than that from the White House. He's going to have to get his hands dirty. He's going to have to get in there and – and work this problem until he gets it done. But unless we figure out a way to make sure that something like Newtown never happens again, we're not the country that we once were. I think we still are. I think there's hope. I think something's going to happen here.

Exactly a month earlier, the Face the Nation host unleashed on the gun control issue during the immediate aftermath of the Sandy Hook massacre. During a December 16, 2012 panel discussion, he claimed, "If [shooter Adam Lanza] had had an Arab name, people would be going nuts about what we ought to do right now."

One wonders how Schieffer is going to top himself the next time he opens his mouth on gun control.

[Sleeper]

I didnt see anything wrong with the ad.

[CJ]

I didnt see anything wrong with the ad.

That's because you are a Nazi.

[David]

I get the point behind it, but at the same time I think it's kind of making me wonder what the fuck. Put out an ad and its this is what it is. Hope they follow up with something better.

Filthy hypocritical liberals...
