Woods: Don’t blame media for misrepresenting the gun bill even though they misrepresented the gun bill
Drink up. It’s easier than thinking.
Jeff Woods looks at politicos blaming that dastardly media for misrepresenting the guns in restaurants bill. And wonders where, oh where, they would have gotten the idea that maybe the press had an agenda. I mean, with all those loaded poll questions, calling it the ‘guns in bars’ bill, and quoting every one who reacted with a bit of hysteria to it; it is puzzling that lawmakers would draw that conclusion. Aside from using every anti-gun PSH-inducing cliche, he then implies that a few crazies dictated state policy. He seems shocked that we crazy gun nuts are politically active and, you know, successful. Drink up.

It’s only when the crazies belong to them that hey care about them, because whether crazy or not “Few” = “Minority” = Identity Politics – so it’s also racist (or not, depending on who’s taking credit for them/it).

Good grief… after months of the media desperately attempting to derail, misrepresent, and demonize these bills, you would think they would be proud of their efforts.
Of course, they did lose, so I guess they are a little bitter about that. They should stop clinging to the past…

Also, this quote is interesting:
So it is wrong for us citizens do demand accountability from our governmental employees, and doing so is somehow tantamount to making threats.
But making bald-faced threats on behalf of employees of dead-tree media is acceptable?
Interesting double-standard, that.

Can’t they all just hurry up and go out of business?
Please?

Ironically enough, Michael Silence linked to this post, with no comment other than “Heh” … and still has yet to answer to me calling him out on his own blatant and dishonest bias not once but twice!
And who is this looney lefty he has blogging over there with him now? The dude is totally in some alternate universe!

I don’t think his ‘heh’ is related to what you were asking him about. That looney lefty is Shane, who blogs at other locations too. Wouldn’t read too much into it since michael lets me blog there too.
