Response to a Bloomberg anti-freedom Campaign (humor)

[Dean Weingarten]

An Internet friend relayed this experience to me:

A Moment Of Glee

I got a phone call today from a true believer, paid for by Mayor Bloomberg. Supposedly from the “Gabby Giffords Campaign Against Gun Violence”, asking me to contact my congressman and senators to demand gun control.

I about hurt myself trying to keep cool and reel him in. Such opportunities are very rare. So many ways to mess with their heads.

Probably the best zinger was when I asked how Gabby Giffords *husband*, Mark Kelly was doing.

What do you mean?

Well, he confessed to committing a serious federal gun crime on the radio, and he is going to be arrested. Does he have a legal defense fund yet?

!!!

I told him about Kelly acting as a straw buyer for a “fully automatic”(sic) AR-15 “military assault rifle”, and how “any day now” federal Marshals were going to arrest him and that Gabby Giffords will probably have to go to a nursing home because Mark could be in jail for years.

The poor young man was so frazzled that he apologized and had to hang up.

My friend said that with the money that Mayor Bloomberg is throwing around, more calls are likely.

Would have loved to hear both sides of that conversation.

I'd love to waste their time. If they call me, I'm committing 15 minutes to this.

I would mess with them too. I tell the guy on the other line nicely that I'm not interested one time and just one time.

They're responsible for the time they waste afterwards where I pretend that they've convinced me to hear their sales pitch just to blow 10 minutes of their time.

I would tell them I'm undecided about gun rights in the country. Ask them to explain their position and then rebuttal with questions of your own. Keep the call going as long as possible. The more time they spend on the phone with "us", the less time they spend possibly changing someone's mind. And it's funny.

Do what I do when I receive unsolicited calls asking for money: "Sure I'll contribute. That's an excellent cause and I'm all in. Let me go get my credit card, just a sec....." Lay the phone down, then I go outside for a while and reload a few hundred rounds of something.

Caller ID pretty much guarantees I will not be picking up the phone for any of this....they all come through as "unavailable"

I got a call just the other day, (shortly after I heard Dean Heller voted to hear debate on the Toomey, Manchin, Shumer bill) from the Rebulican National Commitee, asking for a donation. Needless to say I told them that all though I'm a registered Republican, in light of Dean Hellers vote to hear debate on that anti-gun bill, I'll continue to give my financial support to the NRA. He stated, "I hear ya, have a nice day".

Good on you. I wouldn't have the patience, I would probably say that I don't support anti-American terrorist groups and hang up.

 

[KTXdm9]

Well played sir. I'm not sure I would have the patience.

Sadism doesn't require patience. Time flies when you're having fun!
