Freedom from what?

I wonder when it'll be appropriate to talk about this in the wake of the Pennsylvania shooting that happened just yesterday. Maybe we'll have to wait for another X days before the Code of Appropriateness changes from "STFU" through "No Way" through "somewhat greenish" to "slightly green".

It took approximately 0 days for the Republicans to jump on the Benghazi attacks with a battle cry of a witch hunt of Condoleeza Susan Rice. Despite a period of mourning out of respect for the dead, the NRA and other gun obsessed activists are ever at the ready to divert the blame away from their sacred guns.

From what I'm hearing, the NRA are rather more interested in beating the hysteria drums and warning people that Obama is planning to "take our guns", and urging them to buy more guns and ammo urgently. Which explains the huge queues at the gun stores in recent days.

Quite ironically, the spree of shootings has prompted a mass gun buying hysteria. The awesomestest Christmas present these days, I guess, is a new rifle.

It'll buy you some freedoms.

Uh, surely you can see the logical flaw in your statement.

In case you can't, Susan Rice wasn't involved in the issue until several days after the attack.

I took a little literary license with this. In the grand scheme of things, the Republicans (especially Romney) were feasting on the political bones of Ambassador Stevens relatively soon after the attack. Besides I said approximately, not precisely. So, Uh, surely you can see the logical flaw in your statement.

"Relatively soon" being after the coverup was started, sure. And "approximately 0" is not an approximation. "Literary license" is a weasel excuse after the fact, in this case.

Your whole argument is an unsubstantiated opinion.

LOL, oh the irony.
