NRA to NYT: We're coming for you

Already answered.

Yes. 

You've made it clear that you tried to use that excuse to throw yet another character attack at me by trying to "prove" I called you a name, when in fact I did not.


That is the epitome of every one of your responses to me (and a few others on your hit list). You do something similar every time you respond to me. But now it's out there for everyone to see who you actually are. And when you're bored and I'm not involved in a thread, you call my name in it to start something with me. 

We see you.

This is why I feel our country is so so so so monumentally screwed.

I despise Fox.

Does that "context" that your buddy is always throwing at me only count when you need to be right? Why is it suddenly not being applied by you in this situation? 


Who wasn't open to any other view?
Was it me that said anyone having a different opinion makes them not worth engaging? No
Was it me that said asking for clarification and trying to see your point of view was nothing more than stirring shit? No
Was it me that shut down a differing view with personal attacks vs. discussion? No

Like I said believe it, don't believe i, it's your choice.  

The rest of the stuff your spouting...    . 

This doesn't directly address the NRA ad, but is kind of a 'come along side' story that provides me context for what people mean when they say things directly or indirectly.

I live across the street from a city park. Over the course of our time here, we've seen many shenanigans, but in the past couple of weeks, we've had 2 encounters that had us call the police. Same group of young people involved both times.

First time a guy is fighting with what I presume is his girlfriend and her friend is attempting to calm the fight down. He grabs friends glasses and throws them over our fence. Friend and girlfriend are very polite when they knock on our door asking if they can look for her glasses while he's across the street yelling how he's 'coming for you' and he doesn't care who sees. They got the glasses, went back to the park and tried to leave and he's jabbing his finger in their faces and yelling how he's watching them and knows what the real truth is. We called the cops because it looked like it could escalate and they had attracted a large cop. Not 911, but the local dispatch.

A few nights ago at 3:30 a.m., I wake up to a lot of yelling and check out my window. This guy and his girlfriend are fighting across the street. This time he got physical. I called the cops. He said he didn't care who saw what he did and who I told. His car got towed. He said he's going to square it up with me.

He didn't touch me, but I'm still uncomfortable with his 'threats'. He didn't say he was going to shoot me or stab me or ransack my house, but I'm being cautious anyway. The woman didn't say "Hey NRA members, go shoot some leftist journalists." Her tone, body language and verbiage are not just 'game talk' though.

Maybe this is a poor example, but I feel the NRA absolutely means to come across as threatening. And to top if off, yes, opinions are subjective!

He didn't touch you, but you saw him get physical with her, so that's what made you know they were actual threats. Dana Loesch in the NRA ad did nothing like that. She's pissed at bias in the media, it showed and she said she's going to fact check the media. Nothing more. That's quite a difference than seeing someone be violent with someone and then threaten you after. I hope you reported that and they're watching him or you. Please stay safe. THAT is scary.

Yes, and I am beginning to think those who continuously engage are a little unhinged themselves. I resent every fucking thread being thrown off track with nonsense.
