In the immediate aftermath of the tragic Newtown murders, Obama and His Media joined forces to exploit the deaths of innocent children for all it was worth -- with a series of laws that would have done absolutely nothing to stop the very crime they were exploiting. This naked political move to leverage the murder of innocents as an excuse to attack the National Rifle Association and gun owners, who live predominantly in red states, is about as cynical and craven as it gets.
According to Politico, though, all this soul selling is likely to come to nothing. Politico reports on Tuesday that the gun control bill Obama, liberal Democrats, Piers Morgan, Chuck Todd, and all of CNN want so desperately to pass "has little if any, chance of passing this Congress – it’s struggling in the Senate and facing outright rejection in the House."
Obama and His Media kept moving the
goal posts for victory until they reached a point where assault weapons
and the size of magazine clips were completely off the table. All that
remains today is a small tightening of background checks. That doesn't
mean, though, that victory wouldn't still be declared and Obama
celebrated as Caesar back from the wars. But even that piece of
practically-nothing looks unlikely to pass -- in part, because of three
Senate Democrats who, as of now, are unwilling to support it.
But even if the Toomey-Manchin
compromise passes in the Senate (which is unlikely), Politico writes,
"the House is certain to rewrite the bill – or discard it altogether."
How craven were the media's politics
during all of this? So craven that when the NRA's Wayne LaPierre
suggested we guard school children from gun-carrying maniacs, the media
publicly ridiculed him. My god, the media was despicable. And driven
only by a seething hatred and bigotry towards a culture they have never
bothered to try to understand.
Personally, I am in favor of tightening
background checks and would probably vote for the Toomey-Manchin
compromise were I a United States Senator. But that does not make me
blind to the media's appalling behavior in this crusade -- the
coordinated Narratives, the release of polls to back the coordinated
Narratives, the open propagandizing, the marginalizing and ignoring of
reasonable opposition voices…
And while I would personally prefer to
see a reasonable law tightening these background checks pass, if it does
die, I intend to enjoy every moment of bitter disappointment I see on
the faces of Chuck Todd, Piers Morgan, and their corrupt colleagues.
And maybe, just maybe, had Obama and
the media not used the Newtown massacre as an excuse to launch
yet-another culture war against the right, something good might have
come from this.
