Lie First, Lie Always: A Tale Of Two Meetings

As much practice as the American Left has protesting things, you’d think they could make their jabbering against the National Rifle Association more than just rhetorical.

It should surprise nobody that they could, could, of course, not.

    MDA retweeted a Mother Jones image, showing a couple dozen moms marching over a bridge: “The NRA Annual Convention opens Friday in Louisville. These women are their worst nightmare.” Now, there are plenty of bridges over the Ohio River leading to Louisville, but this pic was taken on the Brooklyn bridge—which leads to New York City.

    How much is Bloomberg paying Mother Jones to pay Eric Idle?

    It is all about optics and wide angle lenses. Remember that infamous image of Cindy in front of Bush’s ranch?

    This weekend’s toll in Chicago. 69 shot. 6 killed.
    If the gang bangers were better shots, you would have had around 12-15 killed.
    Good thing they have tough gun laws.

    in a similar vein Katie Couric (whose career is ever so slowly circling the drain on its way to justly deserved oblivion) is apparently acknowledging her complicity in doctoring the interview with 2nd amendment human-rights supporters:

    Its worth remembering that if you ever find yourself being interviewed re: 2nd amendment issues to ALWAYS make you own recording.

    Reportedly Couric interviewed John Lott for 4 hours for the movie and didn’t use any of it .

    Actually, if you ever find yourself being interviewed by anyone with any power over you (cops, reporters, government “servants”, etc) you should record your answers if you can. Cops routinely and as a matter of official procedure usually destroy their recordings so that anything in their notes is treated as gospel (and often out of context), and reporters routinely either put their own weak understanding of your answer online, or worse doctor the answer to fit their agenda, as in Couric’s case.

    The ability of modern cellphones to make those recordings can often be a blessing as a way to challenge the “authorities.”
