You know what scares me more than the evil unarmed liberals who make broad generalizations are the evil armed conservatives who make equally wrong statements, using the same lack of information and same lack of insight in passing judgement on those without similar views.
Austin is a liberal <blight> on the red <tail> of Texas. Travis County was the only county in the entire state that voted for Kerry. It was the only county in the entire state that voted against the gay marriage amendment. So to see inaccurate anti-2a mishmash from Austin is no big surprise.
That is just an amazing statement, boofus, on Austin, the newspaper, and the people there based on a quote from the newspaper. Did you catch the name of the AAS reporter who wrote the story? No, you did not. Do you wonder why? It wasn't there. Do you wonder why it wasn't there? You should.
What makes this statement so unreasonable in this context is that the gross generalities claimed and attributed were not written by the Austin American Statesman or its staff. You can find the same article in Forbes on line. In both cases, the source is AP, not AAS.
Come on! Do you really think The Austin American Statesman paper would publish the article and not give credit to itself if it was the source for the story going out over the AP wire? They would not even attribute it to AP because they broke it. It is not the Austin American Stateman's story.
The Marshall News Messenger is running a similar longer story attributed to its staff. They work through AP as well. They are not citing AP for the story. Go figure.
It is sort of like getting a warrant served on the wrong house, boofus, and you are in the wrong house.
What you said about AAS might be true, but it is NOT true in relation to the context of this story.
I am all for keyboard commando kicking butt of Molon Labe enemies, but do it for justified reasons. There are more than enough justified reason without sloppily going out and finding unjustified reasons as an excuse.
