Please tell me Sen. Feinstein didn't really say this.

Recommended Posts

To be fair: it doesn't quote Sen. F. It quotes an intern. So, I probably should have said to tell me she didn't propose this idea.

As an ex-Los Angeles police officer killed three people and went on a deadly shooting rampage in a vendetta to punish those he attributed for his firing, California Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer pleaded for calm, and asked both law enforcement and civilians to lay down their weapons.

An intense manhunt for Christopher Dorner that aroused fear across several states and Mexico focused late Thursday on Big Bear Lake, about 80 miles east of Los Angeles, where police found a burned-out pickup truck that belonged to the ex-military and former police officer Dorner.

Throughout the day, Senators Feinstein and Boxer made desperate pleas for their California constituents to turn in their guns and not confront the crazed gunman because this would be a perfect test of their anti-gun proposals.

“The Senators feel the best course of action is to remove all weapons from law enforcement and private citizens so no one else gets hurt,” said a Senate communications intern. “When the gunman realizes that nobody else is armed, he will lay down his weapons and turn himself in…. that’s just human nature.”

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

By the same "Ace Cub Reporter", Jimmy Olsentwins:

Drone Manufacturers Will Offer Nuclear Powered Aircraft Directly to the Public

(PP)- They are now a very familiar sight in Afghanastan, Chicago and Detroit war zones, but if savvy manufacturers have their way, skies over the heads of all American cities will soon be buzzing with unmanned armed government and private aircraft. Drones are presently the largest growth industry in the highly profitable aviation sector, with just a handful of privately [...]

And if you say it slow enough, it sounds like orange :)
With that necessary attempt at humor out of the way, can we kill this thread since apparently Sen. Feinstein didn't, in fact, say this? And yes, it would have been goat-fuck stupid to say it had she or her intern done so.

Well, a Danratheresque defense could be used by the reporter who might then say that, to some folks, it would not be totally inconceivable that she would say such an idiotic thing. So we could mark the Feinstein "quote" down as "true" ...just on GP. (But it really does sound more like something Boxer would say, anyway.)

Kill the thread



No, leave it up. Just to show how easily people will believe crap if they WANT to believe it.

It seems to be all over the right wing sites right now, and they are lapping it up!

Fine with me to kill it. I was immediately suspicious because it was so outrageous, but google didn't pop out any other answers, just the same article.

People will believe anything if they want it to be true or fear it to be true. Sometimes, the more outrageous; the better.

Knowing this rule helps protect me from it.

I would have to work very hard to get to that point as easily as the the one that posted it does

It's bogus but still spreading virally over the right wing blogosphere.

What a bunch of MORONS.



So for the record, are you now changing your stance on laws saying that if we take away guns from the good guys, gun crime will go down?

Link please?

My stance is that people who post crap without first checking to see if it is crap are stupid.

I disagree with the Senator's socio-political views. I do not suppose she is completely stupid. So, I was not surprised to find that she did not go that extreme in public. I am not surprised that people with a legitimate fear for their rights were pushed by an untrue article to share their fears.

Kallend declares anyone who disagrees with him a 'moron'. I do not.
I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

I find that flaw of logic quite prolific. I can not attribute it to one end of the spectrum more than the other.

I would suggest, however, that 'extremes' in any direction commend themselves to reduced logic and more emotion.

I guess I see it more as a matter of emotion
I also see one side using emotion more than thinking or logic

I dont see you calling others names or using under the table insults

I have, but usually in responce to one (example of kallends PA)

Kallend is condescening and prone to insult people who disagree with him. If you were inclined to search, you would find I don't bother with threads he starts or responding to him. I see no value in it. I don't insult his intelligence. I just don't get anything useful out of interaction with him.

I see plenty of conservatives (with whom I often sympathize) who will declare their opponents bereft of intellect. They are equally wrong for doing so.

Agreed

I just see one side doing it more than the other
