Dumb Laddite Comment of the Week: Paula Villalobos.
CSGV desperately searched the interwebs in a quest to avoid apologizing to Gun Owners they insulted with their accusations about the Ricin letters to the President and the Pasha of NYC. One of the pics they found was this one:
But that is not what called my attention but one of the comments by Laddite Paula Villalobos:
She looks weak to me, trying desperately to get out of those bad and probably abusive relationships. Women should be portrayed instead as empowered with good self esteem, not with a gun and looking weak.
Self esteem will stop a rapist or a murderer because they will be blinded by the awesomeness of the woman feeling good about herself being unarmed. (can I have a facepalm?)
According to Ms. Villalobos, a woman who fended off three attackers with her gun is a weak woman. The 26 Year Old woman who was being stabbed by a nutjob and managed to use her gun to stop the attack is a weak woman. The mother who used a shotgun to kill a home invader is a weak woman. The mother who used her shotgun to defend her kids is a weak woman. The woman who used her pistol to defend herself from a man dressed in all black who had broken into her home during the middle of the day is a weak woman. And even the 72-year-old grandmother who used her .22 gun to keep two bad guys in check till the police arrived is most certainly a weak woman.
But of course, Self Esteem works. Just ask any cop what caliber of Self Esteem they carry.
Ms. Villalobos, I do wish you a long happy life without having to defend your life or the lives of those you love.
Hat tip to Guns Save Lives for all the links about women defending themselves with (gasp!) guns.
PS: I keep forgetting to bring the definition of Laddite back for the new readers. My thanks to Don for kicking my memory butt.
Moms Demand Action: For a bunch of PR experts, they suck at writing copy.
First one I caught was this tweet demanding to veto Illinois Carry of concealed cotton pods.
And next happens just now and appears as they are pissed at the police for killing a mass shooter:
And maybe they are pissed at the cops after all:
Did CSGV fire their intern and MDA hired him/her?
Dear CSGV: Waiting for the Ricin apologies.
We now know that the “Pro Gun” Ricin letters were sent by an actress trying to get a quickie and nasty divorce.
Richardson, a mother of five who has played bit roles on television and in movies, was arrested earlier Friday for allegedly mailing the ricin-laced letters last month to the White House, Bloomberg and the mayor’s Washington gun-control group. The letters — which authorities determined were mailed from Richardson’s hometown of New Boston or nearby Texarkana and postmarked in Shreveport, La. — threatened violence against gun-control advocates, authorities said.
According to an FBI affidavit, Richardson contacted authorities on May 30 to implicate her estranged husband, Nathaniel Richardson. She later failed a polygraph test, and investigators looking into her story found numerous inconsistencies, the document said.

But the memories still linger in the vaults of the Cult Coalition to Stop Gun Rights Violence as they were 100%-no-shit-no-doubt it was a gun nut who sent that letter to intimidate the Sainted Michael Bloomberg:
And the Laddites following really close:
Don’t worry, I have a nice, soft recliner to wait for them to apologize.
Moms Demand Action: They like their Felons too…
Just like their brainless partners at the Cult Coalition to Stop Gun Rights Violence, MDA desperate seeks vindication by any way or any body. So if a felon in a Supermax prison writes a suck up letter against the NRA, they desperately cling to it as if it was the Holy Scriptures.
Never mind that Gary W. Bornman was convicted to 20 years for bank robbery, the last of his 81 convictions. Never mind that the judge had to conclude that he was beyond rehabilitation. Never mind that he liked to write to newspapers and brag about the crimes he would commit as soon as he was out of prison: “So the next time you hear of someone committing some horrendous crime, it could quite possibly be me they’re talking about,” he wrote. “Only don’t say you weren’t forewarned.” Never mind all that, he said something bad about the NRA so he must be OK. He is their new hero!
Tack up another difference between the Anti Gun advocates and us: We do not like violent felons. We prepare against violent felons. MDA and CSGV love them felons and hate us.
That says a lot about their priorities in life.
PS: When you see MDA, understand that I refer to Moms Demand Action and not MDA as in the drug 3,4-Methylenedioxyamphetamine, an hallucinogenic which is the first cousin of Ecstasy and makes the consumer see things that ain’t there,…OK, never mind.
NSA: All a simple mistake
The National Security Agency has at times mistakenly intercepted the private email messages and phone calls of Americans who had no link to terrorism, requiring Justice Department officials to report the errors to a secret national security court and destroy the data, according to two former U.S. intelligence officials.

This BS line reminded me of a great line from the movie The Last Boy Scout:
[Joe has just found out that Mike was sleeping with his wife]
Mike Mathews: It just happened, Joe. It…
Joe Hallenbeck: Sure, sure, I know… it just happened. Coulda happened to anybody. It was an accident, right? You tripped, slipped on the floor and accidentally stuck your dick in my wife. “Whoops! I’m so sorry, Mrs. H. I guess this just isn’t my week.”
And has the same amount of credibility.
