When the big lie doesn't work

I wish politicus wouldn't use the g__ n__ phrase. Firearms enthusiast is so much more PC.

http://www.politicususa.com/2014/06/24/white-gun-nuts-plan-march-black-neighborhood-carrying-assault-rifles.html

"The Houston chapter of Open Carry Texas, a gun rights advocacy group, postponed an event that was scheduled for this past Sunday where their members were going to walk through the streets of the Fifth Ward in Houston openly carrying assault rifles and handguns. The event, which has not been canceled but merely moved to another date, was ostensibly also going to be a canned food drive organized with a local church. The Fifth Ward is a predominantly black neighborhood and the event was originally scheduled to take place shortly after the celebration of Juneteenth.

Per event organizers, the march has been moved to another date because one of the main organizers, C.J. Grisham, was unable to attend this past Sunday, as he was scheduled to appear somewhere else where open carry enthusiasts were appearing in public with guns. Per Grisham, the neighborhood march is meant to be a community outreach attempt by Open Carry as well as a charitable affair. If you are to ask the group, Open Carry’s purpose in doing this isn’t to antagonize and intimidate, but merely to ‘educate’ others and let them know that they all have the right to carry around scary-looking assault weapons everywhere they go. Texas’ laws now make it perfectly legal to openly carry long assault rifles, such as an AR-15.

Joe Deshotel at Burnt Orange Report, upon learning of the original event, checked with the local church that the event’s organizers stated they had coordinated with to do the canned food drive portion of the march. As one would suspect, the church had no idea what was going on and confirmed that they had not discussed any such drive with Open Carry Texas. It appears that the group was caught in a lie.............."

It’s definitely a 2 part series and should have read “To Be Continued” at the end.

I think it will be trading the 5 Terrorist without following protocol. That would grab more viewers and be great for ratings.

This week’s episode also may have been just a “Filler” to bide more time for ISIS to strengthen in Iraq and/or to give the viewers a break from the IRS Scandal.
I think it will be interesting to watch next week.

It has more twists than “Bates Motel” and you have to watch each episode to keep up.

"......The speaker declined to provide details about which executive actions he intends to challenge in court.

"When I make that decision, I'll let you know .....

Often stymied by a recalcitrant Congress, President Barack Obama declared 2014 a "year of action" and issued executive orders on immigration, the federal minimum wage and federal pay discrimination. His Environmental Protection Agency further plans to unveil unprecedented regulations to curb greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants......"


C'mon R'. You can't just post that and not make a prediction on which of these Boehner will pick to pursue. I say 'greenhouse gas emissions' is the one that upsets Boehner''s handlers the most and may be the straw that broke the Koch Kamel's back. But that by itself is too on the nose,  so it'll have to be included with something else.

I forgot it is Wendesday and time for this week’s episode of my favorite reality show “The Obama Administration”. I didn’t see this twist coming, this show gets better every week!

“John Boehner Says His Plan To Sue Obama Is 'Not About Impeachment'”

   As the almost weekly scandals and crisis unfold, I don’t think anything less than a Nuclear Attack on the U.S could divert my attention from this Reality Show called “The Obama Administration”. I can’t wait for next week’s episode.

So much for economy. We'll see if anything that wasn't foreseen two years ago develops in Iraq and what develops with the IRS. If you don't don't think a thread is relevant, don't post to it.

It sounds as if the article is trying to cover everything.  If you have a gun you must be racist, because this event will go through a black neighborhood.  You're a bad guy if you have a gun and show it in public....
