Brady campaign watch: How is the Brady campaign responding to the 2010 elections? You can predict
The Brady campaign is one of the most deceptive, lying and manipulative political groups in the USA. I'm sure you can predict their response to the 2010 election results.


















A lot of people here are aware of this already but if you are not, the brady campaign deletes any posts on their facebook forum that is pro-gun or pro-truth. The brady campaign therefore controls what information is available on the forum and what views are acceptable and which are not. They only think their side of the debate is acceptable. So they control the flow of information to their members while they try to produce the effect that one of their largest political losses in history was a major win for them. I wonder if they learned their tactics from North Korea. Their deception has gone to a level that I just have to say is kind of creepy.

1. they are using the same anecdotal method to deceive people into thinking the Brady Campaign won
They find one instance or several anecdotes of Brady Campaign backed politicians that won. They ignore the whole picture, just like they ignore the rate of murder and violent crime. After posting enough anecdotes of their victory, they hope to give off the affect of their victory and you cannot post and correct them because your post would be deleted. They try this with anecdotal stories of gun violence and accidents. They figure if they flood you with such stories they will manipulate you into becoming irrational and hope you will ignore the facts and statistics.

So the interesting thing is it seems they use this tactic with everything they do. If you support the Brady Campaign, if they use this type of deception to make it look like they won when obviously they lost, don't you think they are equally deceptive about the need for gun control?

For the intellectually bankrupt . A crutch as it were , not unlike smilies .

Every viewpoint is valid even if it serves no other purpose than the illustrate what a shit stain the poster might be .

3. that's exactly how I see it
If your side is correct, let the other side post. If you don't want the other side to post, you admit you are wrong but you want to win anyway.

Gun Owners' Rights To Be Strengthened In Next Congress!

Election Day 2010 was a great day for the Second Amendment and NRA members, and positions us well for our future defense, and advancement, of the Second Amendment! The most important fact about Tuesday's elections for gun owners is how many more pro-gun lawmakers we will have in the next legislative session and how many fewer anti-gun lawmakers there will be. Here are some highlights from Tuesday's contests:

U.S. Senate

* 19 of NRA-PVF's 25 endorsed U.S. Senate candidates won. This marks a pro-gun upgrade of eight Senate seats.
* In the 111th Congress, there were 43 A-rated and 34 F-rated Senators. The 112th Congress will contain 50 A-rated (+7) and 33 F-rated Senators (-1).
* There will be 12 pro-gun Senate freshmen.

U.S. House

* Of the 262 candidates endorsed by the NRA-PVF for the U.S. House, 225 were victorious, for an 85% winning percentage. In every case but one where an NRA-PVF endorsed candidate lost, a pro-gun challenger replaced him.
* In the 111th Congress, there were 226 A-rated and 151 F-rated Representatives. The 112th Congress will contain 258 A-rated (+32) and 133 F-rated (-18) Members.
* There were pro-gun election upgrades in 27 House districts.

Note: As of today, 9 races remain too close to call.

Gubernatorial & State Legislatures

* Of the 21 gubernatorial candidates endorsed by the NRA-PVF, 15 were victorious. (Note: Two races remain too close to call.)
* We made major gains in state legislative races, which will position us well in the upcoming legislative sessions next year.

5. They're like Fox News- they do a great job of convincing people that already agree with them.
And yeah, I kinda wonder if they'll start referring to Paul Helmke as their "Dear Leader"....
