I'm not really sure how these things technically qualify as NRA ads anymore. All I can think after this one is Dana Loesch's bizarre fascination with fisting (I'm not judging), or the logistics of how one engages in fisting a newspaper.
 
It does sound kind of painful.
 
Where was this run? Stoking the coals........

Appaperntly (only?) on NRATV.com and youtube.com so calling a (portion of?) this video an ad is a bit misleading, IMHO.

You don't find it a little unsettling?

I don't know, but there's either a whole lot of fisting going on in the Loesch household or not nearly enough.
 
Fisk, pretty obscure word, but kudos to your vocabulary or search skills. The delivery certainly is "passionate." Willing to wager that the rank and file hear "fist."

Understood, but you chose to chime right in.

I saw that you asked a question and I tried to answer it. If you choose to be a smart ass about then it perhaps it is best to just leave you wondering.

I struggled with an appropriate emoji, but said "Nah, ttwtt, will be able to take a little ribbing." Oops! :2wave:

It's a fairly common term in the political blogosphere.

[Watches video again]

Nope, that's definitely "fist" she said. She definitely wants to fist the New York Times. Unless what she said in that other video was "The cold fisk of truth."

Your diligence is noted. I think whichever word was used fist was meant to be understood. Lawyers gonna parse........

Nope. You're wrong. You don't admit when you are, but you still are.

And given what "fisk" means, it makes a hell of a lot more sense in context than your mishearing does.

You're literally the only human being who heard "fisk," so you must be right.

I think you might have actually given the best review of this video.

Seriously, I feel much dumber having watched this, and I can only imagine how many of the NYT staff now have parts of this as a ringtone to share laughs with their friends. The only scary part is thinking how many buck toothed hillbillies will give a "hell ya!!" after seeing this. What a joke.

So, fisting aside (again, not judging), does anybody want to take a stab at what Loesch is ranting about? The NRA is a gun rights organization, is it not? I ask because I've seen a few of her videos now, and not once did she say "gun" or show a picture of a gun, or refer to the 2nd amendment in any way. Does the NRA know she's making these things?

Considering there are about 6 people in this thread, some of whom agree with me, you're really going to say that I'm "literally" the "only" human being out of 7 billion who heard it?

Are you sure you know what "literally" means? Looks like you might not.

But hey, I look forward to your showing that "literally" no one else in the entire world heard it that way, I guess.
