(2,708 posts)gejohnston: to quote ethics blogger Josh Marshall "The hateful rhetoric focused on the NRA at times like these is unfair, and ignorant. Of course the organization is extreme, because organizations that exist to protect rights must by their nature be vigilant against incremental incursions on the rights they protect. They stake out the extreme defense against extreme opponents of those rights and the citizens they protect. In this the NRA is no different from the NARAL, or the Baseball Players Association, or the Sierra Club, NOW, or the ACLU, just as important to the public policy debate, and exactly as worthy of respect."

Jeez, how low can you go Johnston, to post some rightwing blogger comparing nra tactics with the sierra club, aclu, now, & baseball?
And you post this again from this rightwing source which denies climate change:
(x-posted) : One of Johnston's other links comes from ethics alarms, which starts off with climate change denial: If you want a graphic example of why climate change skeptics distrustand are right to distrust the studies and computer models on the subject indicating that we are doomed unless we adopt Draconian measures, look no further than the Washington Posts embarrassing story on a study released this week in the American Journal of Public Health. It is deceptive, biased, misleading and incompetent from the headline: Gun killings fell by 40% after Connecticut passed this law. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1172170778
