I find it funny that Bam’s kids are off limits politicaly while Bam can stand on the graves (hat tip Shapiro) of the Sandy Hook kids, and have other kids stand next to him while he rules as a king today…
Almost past the point of anger and into full on laughing at the people that supported this loser. [/quote]
I’m in the process of writing an article in defense of the NRA’s ad right now.
Generally, the privacy of the President’s kids is supposed to be respected. But if the issue is gun control for kids in schools, and the President has kids in school and is using guns to protect them, then it’s entirely fair game. Not to mention the fact that kids were trotted out into the President’s corner of the ring earlier today.[/quote]
Pretty much. I can’t imagine anyone with an open mind and realistic level of education could see this any differently. However, based on the comments on the politico peice, OFA is out in full force covering for their lord and savior. [/quote]
What if Tim Tebow came out on stage (with other children who could have been aborted) and supported the Pro-Life/Anti-Abortion position on Roe vs Wade ?
Do you think the Left would be outraged ?[/quote]
Do you think the Right would be outraged in that instance? General rule of thumb is both parties do essentially the exact same things in the exact same positions (obstructionist minority, overbearing majority, etc) and then are outraged when the other side does it.
With that being said, I am a lefty in these parts and see the whole trotting children out on stage thing to be disgusting.

To be fair, at least bringing kids who were almost aborted out in support of a pro-life stance would be more relevant than using kids in a gun control debate, where childrens’ safety is only a small piece of the pie. However, it would still be an appeal to raw emotion, and I’d say it’s probably still not appropriate.
