Dear NRA: Putting KKK Hoods on Beloved Childhood Characters Probably Isn’t the Best Strategy

not exactly the smartest move

you'd think this would have been killed early in the process.

Holy fuck these people are crazy.

I didn't realize the NRA was such a huge fan of Thomas the tank engine, some genuine outrage right there.

 

[Bitek]

Thomas & F is ethnically British, tho the newer episodes are losing that.

Regardless, having some Africans in Britian seems pretty fitting.

I'm more outraged they changed the song, and won't call Sir Topham Hatt the "Fat Controller."

Is that something you want others to know?

Lordy

Shocking....

Not

 

[HomerJS]

You people are exaggerating. We're post racial now.

Racism doesn't exist.

Gee, I wonder why other members here call you a disingenuous idiot.

 

[dank69]

Fucking liberals. We need to do something about them before they wreck everything.

 

[zinfamous]

I mean, their president is Oliver Fucking North.

lol.

Well, to be honest, I'm betting my SJW daughter is going to crack up and be appalled at the same time. I'm wondering if someone is getting pranked. Yeah that has to be a joke by someone.

Either provide a link to a reputable news source or don't make a thread at all. It would be the same if I were to post something with Breitbart and claim it to be fact.

lol, did NRA TV pull this stunt, or not? Pretty simple. No editorializing really needed after that fact, so it makes no difference where it comes from.

"Oh noes! MotherJones makes me wet my pants! I can't think, because libruls!"

comparing motherjones, basically a staunchly left-leaning journal that reports and editorializes--but with actual news, to brietbart, which only ever peddles in wild, nearly always fake, conspiracy nonsense is downright lunacy.

I don't buy it either no matter who is the source. Next- Hillary shows her collection of bodies rolled up in carpets. I've recalibrated to "Hoax".

It goes beyond MJ though. Ideology really isn't the issue except for the person or persons who did this. It would be front page reddit politics by now if it had legs, and MSNBC would be all over it already.

Well, below is a link to a Media Matters report with the video clip embedded, unless you actually think the clip is made up by someone opposed to the NRA, in which case why isn't the NRA crying foul and threatening to sue for this?

Thanks. The total lack of context read as "someone's leg is being pulled", but the video showed full on stupid. We now have a Kenyan female train in a group of nondescript others and I don't GAF either way.

Remember boys and girls, if you have a point, don't go full stupid. It's not a good look.

mother jones is more like a left leaning national review than brietbart.

Dude, just going to the homepage and reading the article titles is cringeworthy. Don't try to justify stupid shit like "My liberal bias site is less bias than brietbart!"

Just have the common decency to post articles from even lamestream media at minimal. Is that so hard to ask?

Sure, I chuckled too, in a "you guys are fucking morons" kinda way

Bias is simply not the same thing as abject, intentional lying for the unquestionable purposes of propaganda feeding.

Stop allowing yourself to sound so stupid in public. please keep it private.
