THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE NRA IS COMING OUT GUNS BLAZING, HE
DECIDED TO ATTACK THE PARKLAND STUDENTS AND HE SAID THIS IN AN
INTERVIEW WITH THE WASHINGTON TIMES --
BECAUSE OF COURSE WE HAVE LEARNED OVER THE PAST 18 MONTHS
OR SO THAT VICIOUSLY ATTACKING PEOPLE IS COUNTERPUNCHING.
YOU
JUST CALL IT THAT AND IT'S FINE.
HE ALSO SAID THIS --
OH, DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE BEING TERRORIZED?
HE WENT ON TO SAY JESUS CHRIST, HE THOUGHT HE HAD IT
BAD, TAKE A LOOK AT ME!
OBVIOUSLY A LITTLE OVER-THE-TOP,
CALLING THE PARKLAND SURVIVORS TERRORISTS BECAUSE THEY HAVE
CRITICIZED HIM.
I THINK IT'S WORSE THAN THAT.
AND WHY IS IT WORSE?
AND THEN
THERE IS THE GREAT IRONY OF OLIVER NORTH SAYING THIS.
BUT
IT'S WORSE BECAUSE THEY ARE NOW BEGINNING TO CALL DEMONSTRATIONS
AND PROTESTS AND SPEAKING OUT "CIVIL TERRORISM."
THAT
PROPAGANDA HAS BEGUN, AND THAT'S WHAT FASCISTS DO.
THEY WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEY BASICALLY KILL OFF ALL DISSENT FROM THEIR
RIGHT WING POSITIONS.
SO WHAT IS ACTUAL PUNCHING AND HARASSMENT
AND ALL THE DIFFERENT WORDS HE USED IS WHEN MASSACRES HAPPEN,
LIKE THE ONE THEY SUFFER THROUGH, RIGHT?
THAT IS ACTUAL
VIOLENCE.
SPEAKING OUT AGAINST MASSACRES IS NOT HARASSMENT,
IT'S NOT CIVIL TERRORISM, IT'S NOT ANY OF THOSE THINGS, IT'S
FREEDOM OF SPEECH, WHICH IS THE MOST CORE RIGHT WE HAVE AS
AMERICANS, PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION.
BUT OLIVER NORTH
WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND OR RECOGNIZE THE CONSTITUTION IF IT WAS RIGHT
IN HIS FACE.
HE'S VIOLATED HIS OATH TO THAT CONSTITUTION OVER
AND OVER AGAIN.
AND TO USE THE WORD TERRORISM IN THIS CONTEXT,
THAT IS RICH WITH IRONY.
OLIVER NORTH LITERALLY SOLD WEAPONS TO
TERRORISTS, AND HE WAS CONVICTED OF THREE FELONIES BECAUSE OF
THAT.
HE LATER GOT OFF ON A TECHNICALITY, AND RIGHT WINGERS
MUST BE PROUD THAT HE USED LOOPHOLES TO GET HIM OFF WHEN HE
WAS CONVICTED OF SELLING WEAPONS TO TERRORISTS AND HE WAS A
TRAITOR TO THIS COUNTRY.
FOR HIM, WHO SOLD WEAPONS TO
DANGEROUS TERRORISTS, TO SAY THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE FIGHTING
BACK WITH SPEECH AGAINST PEOPLE WHO COMMITTED MASSACRES ARE
SOMEHOW CIVIL TERRORISTS, HE MIGHT HAVE BROKEN THE IRONING
RECORD.
AT LEAST HE'S CONSISTENT, HE WANTED TO SELL WEAPONS BACK
THEN, HE WANTS TO SELL WEAPONS NOW, THE MORE THE BETTER.
BUT I
JUST WANT EVERYONE TO TAKE A MOMENT AND THINK ABOUT WHO HE'S
TALKING ABOUT, BECAUSE YES THEY ARE MINORS, YES THEY ARE HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS, BUT THEY ARE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO
EXPERIENCED THEIR LOVED ONES, THEIR FRIENDS AND EDUCATORS, GET
GUNNED DOWN IN COLD BLOOD IN FRONT OF THEM, AND HE HAS THE
AUDACITY TO GO OUT AND CALL THEM TERRORISTS BECAUSE THEY WANT
CHANGE SO THEY DON'T EVER HAVE TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING LIKE
THAT AGAIN, SO OTHER YOUNG PEOPLE, OTHER AMERICANS, NEVER
HAVE TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN.
HIS BEHAVIOR IS
SO DISGUSTING, AND IT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF WHERE THEIR MIND IS
AT.
FIRST OF ALL THE FACT THAT THE NRA WOULD HIRE HIM AFTER WE
JUST WENT THROUGH WHAT HIS HISTORY IS TELLS YOU A LOT ABOUT
THE NRA.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
THAT'S BASICALLY IT, AND IT'S WORTH REMEMBERING THAT THE
REAGAN DOCTRINE AND OLIVER NORTH ARE ALSO LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE RISE OF TERRORISM AROUND THE WORLD PARTICULARLY IN THE MIDDLE
EAST, FUNDING ANTI-COMMUNIST INSURGENCIES IS WHY WE HAVE AL
QAEDA AND ISIS IN OTHER FORMS OF TERRORISM AROUND THE WORLD.
SO
FOR HIM TO CALL THAT CIVIL TERRORISM, PEOPLE WHO SURVIVED A
SCHOOL SHOOTING, IT'S AS CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS.
FINALLY, LET'S NOT FORGET THE JIM CROW COMMENTS.
HE HAD TO
WALK IT BACK SLIGHTLY BY SAYING I MEANT CYBER WAR.
IN JIM CROW,
CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS WERE LYNCHED, HANG FROM TREES,
MURDERED, ETC., THE NRA IS THE ONE SUPPORTING THE MURDERERS,
LET'S BE CLEAR.
THEY WANT TO ARM THE PEOPLE DOING THE MASSACRES.
THE NRA IS THE ONE SUPPORTING THE MURDERERS, NOT THE ONE
ACTUALLY GETTING ATTACKED, SO LET'S JUST BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT.
THEY WANT TO ARM THE PEOPLE DOING THE MASSACRES.
THERE IS NO ONE ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY ATTACKING THE
NRA, BUT THEY ARE SPECIAL LITTLE SNOWFLAKES.
THEY ARE LIKE, IF YOU DON'T LET US SELL WEAPONS TO MASS
MURDERERS
THEN OH MY GOD, OUR RIGHTS, WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR RIGHTS?
IT IS LIKE WE ARE MARTIN LUTHER KING.
I ASSURE YOU THAT YOU ARE
NOT.
