Lott on Demos creating fake gun groups

Posted by David Hardy · 3 August 2005 02:59 PM

John Lott has an interesting posting regarding the "American Hunters and Shooters Association," a strange group that recently appeared out of nowhere and claims to represent moderate gunowners (i.e., one who support AW bans and any type of gun control that has a 10% chance of passage).

Lott points out--

1. Their website turns out to be registered to a DC public relations firm that represents the Democratic Leadership Council and other Demo party organizations.

2. The head of the organization is John Rosenthal, who in fact is a founder of an antigun group.

3. The address of the new organization is in the same building as Democratic Leadership Council.

4. The present head of the DLC is one Hilary Clinton. Dick Morris has written about how she specialized in creation of fake "grassroots" groups to back her agenda, and set up a task force in the Clinton White House to brainstorm creation of these.

Hillary is the sweetheart of the MSM. How could anyone that is interest in preserving our democracy, or what's left of it, consider making her President!

She is a socialist in the tradition of Stalin and Lennin. God save us from her (while we can still say the word God).

This reminds me of the bogus "American Firearms Association" of a number of years ago. They had a Web site that was never updated, and eventually vanished. The AFA spouted the same nonsense as this b.s. public relations stunt from DSC.

Honestly, with the Internet, why do grassroots lobbying firms even bother today with this kind of deception? Blogs will tear this apart in a matter of days if they tried to raise this to a higher public level. And they'll look even more idiotic trying to cover up that their "membership" is probably a total of 5 real people in an office on Penn. Ave. NW.
