Fuckin' pantywaist urbane liberals fear guns like nobody's business. They want all dogs leashed, they want guns outlawed, but they'll drive their fucking SUVs in a distracted state through a neighborhood full of children and dogs, yakking on a cell phone while putting on makeup or drinking coffee, at 20mph over the speed limit, and that's okay.I have nothing to add, except that these liberals should maybe read some Black Panther literature if it's not too scary for them.
THE GUNS! THE UNLEASHED DOGS!
While they drive Death Race 2000 style, threatening all living creatures in their weaving, wobbling, unpredictable paths.
BUT HE BROUGHT A GUN TO A MEETING!
Jesus, talk about a disconnect from reality.
I hope to work on one of my longer essays tomorrow, but you never know what that means with me.
ADDENDUM: I didn't intend, by the way, to imply any equivalence between the guns-at-town-halls-and-all-that-stuff people, who are goofy at best, and the Black Panthers, who are due all admiration. It's just that when I hear all this liberal screeching about guns in public places, I always think of the Panthers. From the comfort of our cup holders we can find guns as distasteful as we please, but when you've got heavily armed motherfuckers shooting at you and your friends every day for no damn reason, it's good to be able to show them that you could, if you chose, shoot back.

Oh, it's gone far beyond bringing a gun to a meeting:

Meanwhile, the good liberals in charge of the government are murdering more people than anyone can count in more countries than anyone knows, all the while imprisoning tens of thousands of people here at home, keeping most of the rest of us barely at sustenance levels, if that, and taking upon itself the right to murder any of us at any time. With indescribably, vastly more power and organization backing itself up than all of the people in that article combined could ever even dream of. If I'm prioritizing my fears, and my opposition, I know who comes in first.
If Joe Sixpack executes his neighbor, he'll spend the rest of his days hunted, on the run or locked up in a cage (no endorsement of prison, that).
When Barack Obama orders a fiat execution, he gets a speaking tour and a lifetime membership in proconsular access club.
His successor will work diligently to cover his ass, in the hope of the future same.
Ethan's right - the wing nut may fetishize guns and act like a clown, but he doesn't have a trillion dollars with which to destroy the lives of millions, at home and abroad.
Thank you, Mr. Crow.
I would also like to add an addendum noting that I didn't mean to imply any equivalence between the people described in Jenny's link, who are goofy at best, and the Black Panthers, who are due all admiration.
Actually I'm gonna update the post.
I actually agree about the black panthers and respect them even more when I learn Stokley carmichael tried to include the gay and women's liberation movement. Though the collaboration was scrapped due to the complaints about a lack of concern for women.
Eldridge Cleaver is another sordid story,however:

I realize you've attached some disclaimers to your endorsement of Foxtrot here, but... really? The latte libel in all its glory? SUV-driving, cell-phone-talking (because only yuppies have cell phone donchewno), latte-sipping liberals?
Quick question: do you know a single actual human being in the real world who fits this stereotype, i.e., outraged about people waving guns around in public but drives an SUV while texting on their phone and drinking Starbucks? Or is this just another tired old conservative bogeyman, like the Cadillac-driving black welfare queen?
White male conservative gun nuts regularly go on shooting sprees in the USA. In the past few years, off the top of my head, I seem to recall a few dead abortion doctors, a bunch of dead Jewish kids at a synagogue, a bunch of dead Unitarians at their church, some guard shot at the Holocaust Museum, etc. Is it really so crazy to get nervous when you see a middle-aged white male conservative waving a rifle around at a public event attended primarily by those outside his tribe?
PS I am, of course, texting this comment to you while drinking a tall skinny soy mochaccino and driving my Hummer with my knees.
i thought repubs were supposed to drive the SUVs according to conventional stereotypology. libs drive priuses, remember?
and you must not live near a population center and commute by car if you think Foxtrot's 'typical lib' description is purely mythology.
Picador: do you know a single actual human being in the real world who fits this stereotype
A single one? No. Many many many? Yes. As a frequent pedestrian, I have to dodge them on a daily basis.
Look. I understand that white supremacist gun violence happens sometimes. And when it does, it's bad. But if you're going to compare it to deaths in car accidents? Per wikipedia, 45,800 people died in the US from car accidents in 2005, with almost two and a half million injured. If you're going to compare it to state violence? The US has been killing about 100,000 Iraqis a year for the past two decades, and that's just one example.
Is it really so crazy to get nervous when you see a middle-aged white male conservative waving a rifle around at a public event attended primarily by those outside his tribe
Absolutely not. But, you know, have some perspective. Anyway, I tend to get nervous any time I see a stranger with a gun in a public place. And the people I see with them far more often, and the people who are far more likely to use them, are state actors.
