Take a look at the ad below and ask whether the National Rifle Association can go any lower. Ponder this flagrant call for violence, this insidious advocacy of hate delivered with a sneer, this threat of civil war, this despicable use of propaganda to arouse rebellion against the rule of law and the ideals of democracy.<\/p>\n

On the surface this is a recruitment video for the National Rifle Association. But what you are really about to see is a call for white supremacy and armed insurrection, each word and image deliberately chosen to stir the feral instincts of troubled souls who lash out in anger and fear:<\/p>\n

Disgusting. Dishonorable. Dangerous. But also deliberate. Everything deplored by the NRA in the ad is committed by “they” — a classic manipulation turning anyone who disagrees with your point of view into “The Other” — something alien, evil, foreign. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“And then\u00a0they<\/em>\u00a0use\u00a0their<\/em>\u00a0ex-president to endorse the resistance.”<\/p>\n

Well, we all know who “they”<\/em> are, don’t we? This is the vitriol that has been spewed like garbage since the days of\u00a0The Protocols of the Elders of Zion<\/em>, blasted from lynch mobs and demagogues and fascistic factions of political parties that turn racial and religious minorities into grotesque caricatures, the better to demean and diminish and dominate.<\/p>\n

It is the nature of such malevolent human beings to hate those whom they have injured, and the NRA has enabled more injury to more…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
