I stumbled across a site called politifact and I guess they do alot of fact checking of political statements...and would you look at this:

http://www.politifact.com/personalities/brady-campaign-prevent-gun-violence/

The way I see it, if you hate the constitution so bad, and want to get rid of the entire foundation for America, then you hate America. The Brady Campaign needs to lose their tax exempt status...I'm really sick and tired of subsidizing those lying pieces of garbage. If they are going to act like a business and lie to make money, then lets treat them like one by taxing them like one.
 
I find it shocking that the Brady Bunch would lie just to try to scare people. I honestly thought they were just a concerned group of people trying to make our lives better.
 
The "Brady Bunch" are a group of anti-gun zealots who will resort to absolutely anything to push their agenda which of course is the total disarmament of America.
 
They are, at best, liars. If their recommendations really reduced gun violence, we would find that states with high Brady grades would have low levels of gun violence. Such is not the case. Utah and Vermont get Fs, but have levels of gun murder of 0.6 and 0.8 per 100,000 population, California, a perennial A has a rate of 3.4 per 100,000. Of course, CA has many more people than UT and VT, so the total number of people killed is much higher in CA. Washington, D.C. has a gun murder rate of >16 per 100,000.
 
They are a money group.
They say what they think will get them money
as for hate, have you checked a place like Democratic Underground

There are more than a few progressives who would love for gun owners to be tortured to death, who think that constitutional protections are ONLY there for THEM, and otherwise a thing of (in) convenience when getting THEIR way...


Oh and the HATE (pure bile) that they spout, would make a KKK or NEO-nazi look like a bigoted grandmother in church....
 
In regards to lies I encourage people to check out the home page as well. Wayne LaPierre also seems to have little regard for the factuality of his statements.

The difference is that he supports the constitution, and the Brady Campaign and Million Moms want to get rid of the constitution. They are hate groups, and the NRA isn't. I wouldn't agree with giving the KKK tax exempt status, so why should the Brady Campaign and Million Moms March get it?
 
Funny thing. The pro-gun side calls the Brady Campaign a "hate" group, and the antigunners call the NRA a "terrorist" group. There's an odd symmetry in this.

So that makes it okay for him to lie? While i strongly disagree with the Brady Campaign calling them a hate group is just ridiculous and somewhat immature. It makes me think of a kindergarten class where one would hear "oh yeah, if you don't agre with me then you're ugly".

What are we supposed to look at?
 
Some of you can slam the NRA to your satisfaction, but best you remember that less it (with ALL it's imperfections) we would look a hulluva lot more like England now than England does!


Hull no, it has it's warts, but truth be told if you don't like it then JOIN AND CHANGE IT!


To simply and continually bad mouth it and all those that are members in good faith is sad damned commentary on each and every one of YOU!


And yeah, I meant to add that you naysayers OUGHT to take a good look at what happened when the NRA was poised to cut and run to Whittington and Neil Knox and his crew literally took over and changed the direction of the organization..........THEY had the courage of their convictions..........how 'bout you?
 
easier to find the same conclusion on the NRA...

Why if this wasnt the high road, I would actually directly respond to this with my unfiltered response.

But since it is the high road, I will simply say that I disagree very strongly with your statement. :banghead:

On the OP, I would certainly say that Brady is an anti-civil rights group. And they should be labeled as such as much and as often as possible.

Hate group? I guess if we could somehow get a legal ruling where 'gun owners' are defined as a 'protected class' of citizens...then yes, Brady could certainly be labeled officially as a hate group.
 
The Brady Campaign mostly is a PROFIT group. It has provided lifelong careers and millions for the Brady family. Follow the money. The will lie, steal, cheat, etc and all for money. Pure and simple greed.
 
Don't trust PolitiFact too much. It is run by my local rag of a newspaper. They use opinion to determine if something is true or not, and if it is any bit unclear, a republican is always mostly false or false, a Democrat is usually mostly true. Just the way it is.
