Breitbart: We have the guns


(Newser)
Liberals may talk tough, but if there were a war between left and right, “they cannot win,” says Andrew Breitbart: “We outnumber them in this country, and we have the guns,” the conservative blogger told Tea Partiers. After the crowd laughed, he said, “I’m not kidding,” Mediaite reports. “They talk a mean game, but they will not cross that line because they know what they’re dealing with,” Breitbart noted at an event in Lexington, Mass.
So... in the case of a hypothetical civil war bethween right and left, he states that 'we have the guns, they cannot win'.
Not sure what the issue is.

Well, in the first place, the Teabaggers do not outnumber anybody. That's just stupid. Nothing could be further from the truth. That's not even debatable. It's ludicrous.

In the second place, I know liberals that own arsenals.

In the third place, I kinda know how he feels. Sometimes, in my weaker unsettled moments, I wish we could call the Orkin man on all these Teabaggers and Grand Obstructionist Party people ruining our nation. So, I'm gonna give him a pass for being stupid. I understand where he is coming from even though he's got it ass backwards.

Hysteria aside, what's wrong with the comment? If the political left, IF, tried to start a revolution or whatever against the right, the right's defended moreso than the left because the rght believes in the freedom of owning and using a gun.

Leftwingnut tree-hugger extremists notwithstanding, (as there just as few of them as there are rightwingnut extremists) I can safely say that amongst my friends, both liberal and conservative, I do not see any marked difference in the amount of guns one side has over the other.

PLENTY of liberals own guns and staunchly defend their right to do so. To think otherwise, simply because of a handful blowhard lefties, if just about as stupid as saying that the Teabaggers are in the majority of anything.

Does anybody want to come over and try to break into THIS liberal's house thinking I am unarmed? I wish you would try. :) I am waiting for that day to come.

Shhh! You're gonna ruin the surprise!:mrgreen:
 
I actually see a potential armed conflict in this country between the smart people and the stupid people. Due to mistaking political speech for reality.

Discuss.:mrgreen:

Well, I have a diehard liberal living to the left of me and a diehard conservative living to the right of me. Political views aside, we are the very best of neighbors. If we see someone shooting up our neighborhood, we will stand with each other and not ask if the person we are shooting back at is a liberal or conservative. Because, liberal OR conservative, that person is just ****ing stupid for coming into OUR neighborhood thinking that way. Darwinism at work. :)
 
SO Breitbart does a comment along the lines of "can Superman beat up the Hulk?", and people think it is newsworthy and worthy of 7 pages of comments? Why does any one care who Breitbart thinks has the bigger dick? He is an asshole political commentator and not worthy of any attention. Liberals got played on this, making a mountain out of nothing, which is probably what he intended, and is laughing at all the publicity he got from it.
 
Breitbart to Teabaggers; "We Outnumber (Liberals) And We Have The Guns!"

Breitbart To Tea Partiers: ‘We Outnumber (Liberals) And We Have The Guns!’ | Mediaite

As a liberal I have been expecting something like this for a long time. And I think Breitbart is correct. We liberals politic, but no one is really afraid of us. We have earned our reputation as whimps.

As a liberal I have been criticized in this forum for being too outspoken against illegals, Muslims, and Catholics. I have been called a conservative.

I am eager to see the posts in this thread. Will it be more whining impractical liberal drivel or will posters realize sheep are easily slaughtered by wolves.

Remember the movie Lord of the Flies where the rational, intelligent leader becomes a victim of Teabagger type radicalism. That was a warning. This is a warning. These Teabaggers are out to get America, and they are NOT afraid of us or the law.

Too late. This thread has already been started and it is alive and doing well elsewhere.
 
Oh boy, ideologues at work.

...sigh.
 
Sorry, that is simply talking in circles. In Libya they are fighting their fellow citizens because they disagree on the path forward for their country. Are you saying that they are wrong and should just let the old regime return?

In other words, are you saying that you are unable to make a distinction between the US government and Libya's old regime?

I guess if you cannot, it might seem that I am talking in circles. However, if this is the case, your rebuttal is worthy of nothing other than dismissal.

I am concerned to see the posts in this thread. I see more whining impractical liberal drivel from the left. Our posters sound like sheep ready to be slaughtered by wolves. Allow me to respond with a MOST FORCEFUL liberal argument, "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never hurt me." :cool: :cool:

These Teabaggers are out to get America, and they are NOT afraid of us or the law. So, we liberals, well meaning as we are, continue to pontificate about some idealistic utopia, while the fanatics take action, devour us, and run the United States with mob rule. We should not be surprised by this. This is how we began this country with a violent revolution designed by the very rich, leaving the idealists to do the paper work we now call our 'founding documents.'

We liberals are fools, but there is still time to wake up. We are at the point where the rubber meets the road. It is time to put up or shut up. Politically the game is in President Obama's hands. Can he get The American Jobs Act through Congress? This bill if for all the marbles, and I think we libs have a good chance of prevailing.

I commented earlier in this thread that this was NOT just one lone nutcase like Breitbart spouting off. (see post #5 in this thread) Many right here have voiced similar opinions bragging about their guns, their abilities with them and their resolve to use them if needed - meaning if the revolution every did come to their McMansion.

Thank you for supplying new evidence Councilman. The right is nothing if not predictable.

If you go to the threads about violence committed by the Unions on the docks there are many going.....woot, woot, we need more of this. You are the predictable one.

I already addressed this.
 
In the News: "Extremist says something stupid. Extremists on the other side become hysterical over it. Film at Eleven."

Yawn. :coffeepap
 
Good thing we have the guns.

We've seen what happens when Leftists get their hands on the guns: The French Revolution, Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh...

Yes you did, which makes it even more interesting that you would argue against it in a later post.

First you say that we are not libya, then you fail to make a distinction in a later post :shrug:

It's not. When meaningful responses are contrary to reason, some can only deflect.

I said we do not want to ever be Libya either. The founders had no idea what way the government would go in the future so they made sure there was an option to change directions, forcibly if necessary. We are going to keep that option open even if the odds are quite low right now of needing it.

OK, maybe I misunderstood, anyway, moving on...

Yes, I agree with retaining the option. However, my point is, that even the mere option should only be raised if government becomes oppressive on a routine basis, becomes a dictatorship, or something of that nature. Mere policy disagreements over a few % of tax rates or the proper rules for abortion is far from that dire situation and is instead the type of policy discussion any mature and civilized society would and should be having (preferably with more give and take on both sides, but welcome to the immediate gratification culture), meaning that as we are right now, even making a point such as "We have guns" without just cause to make this sort of threat does nothing to promote ones cause and also make them look like a bully or someone who will force their views on you, by direct force if necessary, instead of by the ballot box, thus becoming the thing they claim that they are defending against.
