Maybe you need to reavaluate where you stand Politically?
Maybe you need to reevaluate what you consider 'liberal' ?

Should you be posting the far right agenda on a public discussion board like that? Expect to be re-educated one of these days.

Thumbs down Limbaugh says liberals shouldn't own guns

Limblob is a draft-dodging chickenhawk. I doubt he knows much about guns.

Huh? Just off the top of my head I'm thinking about the shooting at the Holocaust museum......was that guy a Liberal? Really? Who knew that white supremacists were "liberals"? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31208188...me_and_courts/

You see, it's statements like most criminals in US the democrats which destroy the credibility of so many of those on the far right.

You should really get your facts straight and ask yourself why you are indeed putting this ALL at Obama's door. Is it in general you are so blind or is it racism or what.

George Bush himself pioneered this effort in Texas as governor...snap !!

1st of all there is not really debating what IS a Liberal because there are many political tests that can determine where you are in the spectrum. remember democrats and republicans are political parties and adhere to no real idealology accept for what gets them elected..

I know exactly where I stand on every issue. I am a Libertarian with a little lean to the center..

baseless allegations??? its a matter of record.. like I said there are many political test..

I really think the responsibility is on you if your actual stance is that your a liberal and liberals are for gun rights and capital punishment?? I mean really....

well, I am no conservative... but again like I said it was for debate.. the REALITY is Liberals are the ones trying to disarm the public and it has always been left leaning socialist who want more government control! Yea yea yea whine whine whine... you can call out conservatives but I am not one.. whether your right leaning conservtive or left leaning liberal your both wrong!

And what about this guy... you know.. Obama's good friend! Where does he stand on the political spectrum? All of his Liberal elitist "college educated" friends were willing to kill many people

How is it a fallacy? I never said "All liberals" (although I probably could have). Not all liberals want to restrict gunownership rights but everyone I've ever heard wanting to restrict gunownership rights is a liberal. That's not a fallacy. That's an observational fact. The only liberal I knew that was not trying to restrict gun ownership rights was one that had needed to use a gun in self-defense. It's amazing how that can change yoru point of view on the issue.

I'm a conservative (duh) and I don't own a gun but if the day came where I ever felt I needed one I'd hope I'd be able to get one at the nearest drive-through.

First off you would have to explain why thre are some many labeled as Liberals on this board that own guns. Then you would have to explain why at least 90% of the Liberals I know own guns, is it because I live in Texas? Then you would have to explain why there are also Conservatives that are pro strong gun regulation if not outright outlawing of guns.
Now I will agree that there are more Dems in Congress than Repubs that would like to restrict gun ownership and it is natural due to the Party make up. While the Republican Party gets so much money from the NRA an I would venture a guess from many gun owners within their Party and that if a Repub in Congress were to present a gun control bill they would be gone quickly due to Party politics. I doubt the divide is as simple as people want to make the issue of gun control. Thankfully, in my opinion, neither Party will ever outlaw guns, there are far too many voters that would be more than a little upset with the idea and it would be political sucide.

They don't know what being liberal is..... At least by definition as it applies to politics in this country??

Maybe they are Libertarian?
