The Pot and the Kettle: Let the Name Calling Begin

I love that MSNBC decided to leap into the fray of the patricide imbroglio over at CNN. They were all over themselves, testing the waters, foaming at the mouth at Eason Jordan's transgressions from the safe distance affored by antillectual cowardice. Too bad the blog wasn't around when MSNBC was fabricating their hit piece on the ".50 Caliber Militia". Funny thing is, the ".50 Caliber Militia" does not exist now, nor has it ever. It was all a Fig Newton of their imagination. They made it up just to get ratings, and scare the sheeple of America into a bleating frenzy.

They wanted to drum up support to ban the safest gun ever introduced into the country. Number of people killed by this weapon in the United States since it became available, shortly after WWI, is...wait for it...0. Thats right. no one has ever been killed with this gun in this country ever. So, you can see why it has to be banned. There story centered on the fact that it might could be used to kill someone, and it sure makes for good ratings when we hold it up on television!

Nice try, MSNBC. Too bad your little fabrication didn't take off like you'd hoped. Keep it up. Your day is coming. The blogs are watching.

Click here to see MSNBC's pathetic hit and run attempt at sensational journalism to promote "sensible and reasonable" gun contol. Keep in mind, though, like most of MSNBC's stories, this one is a complete fabrication. Just do a google search for ".50 caliber militia" and you can readily see...no such group exists. And I shoud know. I've shot a .50 cal. Make that a couple of them. And, for those of you keeping score at home. It's fun. It's LOTS of fun. (See above photo of me shooting a .50 cal down near the Colorado/Texas border in April of 2003.)
