Step 3 is to Unabashedly Politicize Disaster...

Really? Yep, let's exploit all of the dead folks we can, whether or not it had anything to do with anything.

Tsunami killed how many? Those damn hillbilly gun nuts!

Read the reader comments. I think I learned some new words.

The push seems to be on again. I saw a news story last night on channel 4 news about the new comic book (scooby doo or archie or something like that) were the character dies fighting for gun control.

Another tour? Those guys are what - 80?

One of the steps is to "politicize disaster, unabashedly". They even say that the NRA is pushing the emotional buttons, lol.

Dear Rolling Stone:

Whatever happened to "Fear and Loathing"?

We can't stop here. This is bat country.

Whatever happened to "Fear and Loathing"?

Elaborate, symbol-filled critique of American life is far too complicated for the modern Rolling Stone reader. Much better to just shove political viewpoints in their faces.

Besides, Fear and Loathing has GUNS in it! Can't have that.

I am not at all surprised by the completely rediculous post by RS. If they didn't have a reputation for being thoughtless political drivel, i would have for a moment considered this satire... something pulled out of hitler's plan for germany and the world.... but alas.

however the comments are aquite delightful read, there are 1 anti for every 10+ reasonable people, and there is some serious internet ownage going on.

i still cannot understand how some people have their head so far up their ass that it has come back out through the shoulders.

Funny that you bring up how at first it's a seemingly satirical article. It was such a slap to the face for me when I read it I was almost laughing asking myself "is this for real?"... But not in a joking manner. I felt like I was being trolled by the writer, but maybe that's the naive part of me giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Anyone else pleasantly surprised how pro-2A the comments are? It gives me hope.

Military Arms Channel, Colion Noir and a bunch of other NRA commentators were spreading it around social media. I'm assuming it's mostly from their crowd pushing back.

Another chance to bash them on their faceboook page.

You're going to see this a lot over the next few months until Bloomberg's money runs out. CNN has been pushing the Anti Rights agenda as well.

Brought to you by the same magazine that put a glamour shot of a terrorist on the cover.

Next few months? Try next few years. Bloomberg’s money isn’t going to run out anytime soon.

 

[Joshvictus]

They yet again have done it AGAIN. This time with the 5 most dangerous guns article. Apparently even other popular blogs (like buzzfeed) are bashing them for this one because of how poorly done up it is.
