Obama must 'exploit' murdered children to get gun control

[regulator 0]

In a brutally frank interview with MSNBC's Ed Schultz, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) said that Barack Obama needs to "exploit" the young children murdered in Connecticut to get gun control legislation passed through Congress and accepted by the American public, Breitbart.com reported Saturday.

“I think we will be there if the president exploits it, and otherwise we’ll go on to the next” incident, he said.

“These incidents, these horrible, horrible incidents … are happening more and more frequently. And they will continue to happen more and more frequently until someone with the bully pulpit, and that means the president, takes leadership and pushes Congress," Nadler told Schultz.

"As we all know this is a 'never let a crisis go to waste' president and party. And what we now have is Nadler, a powerful Democrat, already eager to 'exploit' raw emotions and the massacre of children in order to push an issue Democrats have considered politically untouchable since Al Gore lost his home state of Tennessee, and along with it, the White House, during his 2000 presidential bid," John Nolte wrote.

After the shooting, Obama told the nation that "meaningful action" on guns would be forthcoming "regardless of the politics." Obama did not specify what action he would seek, but liberals have already expressed a desire to see all handguns banned.

Nolte characterized the gun-grabbing Democrats as "mercenary opportunists" who are "always willing to exploit even the most unspeakable of events if it means any kind of political advantage."

The goal, he says, is to disarm law-abiding Americans in order to make them "docile, vulnerable, and most of all, dependant on government for everything, including the ability to protect ourselves and those we love."

Nadler also took his traveling freedom-grabbing road show to CNN, where he told Piers Morgan that the NRA are "enablers of mass murder" for supporting the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

"We have a lobby, the leadership of the NRA, who function as enablers of mass murder. And that's what they are. They're enablers of mass murder," he said.

Nolte warned of a tough, "Orwellian" fight as liberals gear up the propaganda machine in an attempt to "turn 'gun control' into compassion and opposition to it into gun nuttery."

It's a "the other teams sucks" piece. Long on bash, short on policy.
At my middle-age, I've lost patience with them, coming from either side of the aisle.

i am having a hard time with the classification of politics. ie: i thought liberals were about citizens having liberties, hence the "liberal". if so, how could liberals want something banned? just trying to figure this shit out.

Liberals only want you to have the liberties that THEY think you deserve, because they think they know what it best for you.

Pretty much the same as conservatives.

Each has their own separate pet issues.

While "liberal" and "liberty" share the same latin root meaning "free," the former has come to mean "free from tradition" and the latter "free from restrictions." So if, traditionally, you enjoyed something without restrictions the two words could be in opposition.

Same way conservatives oppose conservation.

Hey, this is neat. Do moderates oppose moderation? Or do they just oppose moderators?

And they prefer prompt criticality.
