In my case, very little.
He mentions that they 1) support torture, 2) wars for corporate profits, 3) spying on their own people, 4) BIG LIE!, and 5) hating on society's most powerless groups.

Rush called him out on this and Bill felt the sting. He has been a bit more reasonable this week because he realizes he is alienating his audience every time he makes an excuse for Obama. We owe Rush a debt of gratitude for calling him out on this.
No network can expect their hosts to go on the air every night and criticize the President for absolutely no valid reason, and still claim to be fair and balanced. The problem is that Rush is just too far to the right that whenever he sees somebody take a moderate stance on an issue, he feels like they are supporting communism.
In the interest of full disclosure, I happen to think that guns are for little girls who like to dress up in big boy pants and pretend to be manly. For myself, I find the discipline and romance of the sword infinitely preferable. I do know how to shoot, of course, I just don't worship firearms.
I also find it humorous and at the same time somewhat disconcerting that anyone ever falls for the 'Evil libruls want to take your guns aways!' crock. Proof? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
I also have to disagree with you regarding the Brady Bill. I own guns, but only because they serve a specific purpose. A lot of guns that should be banned are not, specifically the Tec-9 and the Mac-10. Those kind of guns have no real purpose. I've heard arguments regarding their use in the military, but I can't understand why civilians need them. I also don't understand why the military needs them when a H&K MP5 would do the job. Machine pistols are really unnecessary and contribute to a lot of deaths due to idiots that think spraying, and praying you hit your target, is the best idea. A lot of people fail to realize that a single hit on a target, using a single shot, is just as effective as a single hit on a target, using 20 shots.
yeah i hate the nazi crap from both sides.
<sarcasm>
Ladies and gentlemen... THE STUPIDEST PERSON ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH! Roll up, roll up!
Why go this route, soze?
"Hey you called us fascists, we love the whole world, don't call us fascists or...or... we'll cry!"
Those right-wingers ARE defending torture, they are waving the flag and carrying the cross, and they are following every single bullet point on the fascist menu.
Don't surrender to the Calvin Rules B.S. (New Rule!: Right wingers get to call lefties fascists, and it's no fair when history and whatever right wingers actually support is called out).

Show us where Democratic leaders have called a president a Nazi or compared him to one.
Show us a TV network that compares this president to the Nazis 24/7/365.
There is a concerted effort underway to destroy this president by those representing America's wealth.
There. It's fixed. You're welcome.
And, how specifically is the country being ruined?
Unless you want Jonah Goldberg to rule your world (even more than the Doughy Pantload and company already do).

1. Are you a Convited Felon
2. Have you been jugded Mentally Incompentent in a Court of Law?
3. Have been charged with Domestic Violence, even if it is a Misdemeanor?
If you ansewr yes to any of these three, you can NEVER LEGALLY OWN ANY TYPE OF FIREARM.
MYTH: There are not backround checks at gun shows.
FACT: ANYONE who wants to purcash a firearm at a gunshow MUST fill out ATFE Form 4473. That form is immediately called in to the National Instant Brackground Check number where all of your info including social is give to the ATFE. On little blip about you on their radar and you can either waits days or week for approval, or the local authorites comes and gets you NOW, and your taken to jail and held until the Feds come and get you.
So you stupid liberals get that out of your mind.
ATF form 4473, even at gun shows, must be filled out by people who are licensed by the government to sell guns (called federal firearms licensees - FFL)..HOWEVER...at gun shows, private collectors, who are not FFL's but are allowed to sell guns, do not need have ATF Form 4473 filled out by the buyer nor are they required to keep records of who bought what.
From the DOJ website (emphasis added):
Gun shows provide a venue for the legal sale and exchange of firearms by federal firearms licensees (FFL) who are licensed by the federal government through ATF to manufacture, import, or deal in firearms. Such shows also are a venue for private sellers who buy and sell firearms to “enhance a personal collection,” or for a “hobby,” or who “sell all or part of a personal collection,” and therefore do not require a federal firearms license.25 Federal laws do not specifically regulate gun shows, although federal firearms laws apply to both FFLs and private sellers at gun shows. For example, FFLs operating at gun shows are required to obtain and keep basic information on firearms transactions and to request federal, and sometimes state, background checks on persons seeking to obtain firearms from them by purchase or exchange.26 Private sellers, unlike FFLs, are under no legal obligation to ask purchasers whether they are legally eligible to buy guns. Furthermore, private sellers, unlike FFLs, are not required to create and keep transaction records or to request background checks on purchasers. This mix of licensed and private firearms sellers – selling guns side by side – makes gun shows a unique forum for gun sales.
Fixed.
P.S. I can't really move to where you might live so I guess I'm irresponsible.
What's going on here, Samurai Cowboy ?
And maybe we think almost everyone who thinks they need a gun is simply wrong, and that they probably need to grow out of their adolescent fantasy life and go see a shrink before they hurt someone.
And maybe we think most of the arguments for gun rights are just weak, and based on a seriously flawed reading of the constitution. Gun nuts have an amazing appetite for b.s. disguised as consitutional scholarship.
People who are serious about argument interpret their opponents charitably and argue against the best versions of their opponents' arguments. On the other hand, the political right in the U.S. does not argue from a position of sincerity or seriousness, and less so now than any time in recent memory.
THIS, this attitude, this incredible insincerity and irresponsibility, is what is dangerous to this country. And the solution isn't going to be a gunfight.
2. self preservation.
3. they are fun to shoot.
4. they are mine, don't take em.
5. you don't have to own one if you don't want to.
Fixed.
I own more than one, but I rarely think about them except when I'm going to do a little practice shooting, and imagining that they might be taken away is way down on my list of imaginary government threats.
You are right. Weaver wasn't a terrorist, but he was a white supremacist.
Why do gun advocates always use the "cold dead hands" macho, cowboy routine to explain how much of a badass they are?
I object to the cavalier way they threaten to turn the guns on someone else, for stealing, taking their guns or whatever. Anyone who boasts about using a gun on another human being shows me that maybe they shouldn't have one.
They don't help their cause with this kind of talk.
Guns can be pretty useful tools, just like the floor jack I have in my garage. I'd be happiest never having to use that jack, I don't put my entire manhood and identity into that jack, and I sure don't have any weird fetish about rolling it along with me to political rallies.
Besides, when totalitarian wingnuts come around threatening to take away my liberties, I normally kill them with my bare hands, and never even take my bullet out of my shirt pocket. I occasionally use my Mexican bullwhip, but only to humiliate them by removing the cigar from their mouth.
Being in the ROTC doesn't make someone an elitist. It also doesn't make them a soldier or a member of the military unless you went into the service after ROTC.
I don't usually make assumptions, but I've never run across anyone who when asked if he served responded that he was in ROTC. I'm assuming that if you had served in the actual military, you'd have responded that you served in the military, not participated in a military training program in college.
And self proclaimed patriots aren't patriots. A patriot is defined by his actions, not by his mouth. And no patriot would ever write the following:
"What is wrong with trying to politically destroy this president if you think he is wrong about everything and his policies are ruining America?"

It is a historical fact that upon assuming power the first thing Hitler did was confiscate. I am FAR more afraid of people who want to ban guns then I am of someone having a gun.
People who support gun control are fascists - period.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is just a whole new level of stupid.
Are you advocating for a federal level firearms registry and concealed-carry permit database? So that, as long as you are legally registered in your home state, you're legal wherever you go? Because I thought you were all about smaller government, and less interference, right? You'd be adding a big unfunded bureaucracy, and forcing local jurisdictions to follow federal firearm guidelines and licensing rules. See how that works? So, which is it? More government, or less government?
The Warren Court basically put selective incorporation on steroids. Basically, the state of CT could not pass a law banning free speech under the rubric of "Fundamental Due Process" (Powell vs. Alabama (1926). If a state can not pass a law banning free speech, under this rationale neither could it pass a law abridging the right to bear arms.
I am absolutely NOT advocating a federal firearms registry. I am advocating that all 50 states respect the Second Amendment. I believe the state of New York's laws which forbid me from carrying a concealed weapon is unconstitutional. I fear that I might someday find myself in a similar situation as your friend of California.
People who are proudly pro-torture are fascist thugs. That would be you, BJ Fan.
"Liberals embrace every gun restriction."
And yet, if you go bak through this thread, you'll see a number of the liberal posters here saying that they are not against gun rights. Please brush up on your reading skills.
There is difference between owning a weapon and having the willingness to use it.
I am sure the Mob, street gangs and your run of the mill lunatic could care less about precedent.
I guess in Conn and Oregon the conditions would not be the same.
Here's your sign.
This is an assertion, not a statement of fact. Supply evidence, please.
So, c'mon. Bring on the proof, if you have a shred of it.
O'Reily is an idiot!
