The Scrabbled: Making Fun of Each Other since '99

I think a combination of reactions is probably appropriate. The thing that this shows though is just how much the gun lobby has to exist on outrage even where none exists and how if they lose that a lot of the money dries up.

Here’s the thing, on something like abortion: While pro-choice advocates had more than plenty of actual words and actions to point to justifying their anger and paranoia with Bush, and while anti-abortion advocates can point to plenty of words and actions justifying their concern about Obama. But on this issue the fact is that he (and democrats in general) have said and done virtually nothing related to the gun issue either way over the past few years. At all. In fact in the past couple of elections you’ve had some people run and win as dems with fairly positive gun rights voting records. There are no major court cases pending surrounding gun rights, and in fact the last major ruling was pretty sweeping in their favor and almost every dem (including Obama) went on record as saying that this ruling settled the matter)

But victimization, real or imagined dies very hard.
