33. authoritarian racists like Bloomberg?

We always knew he is an authoritarian, but his inner sheet came out in Aspen, CO. That is before we discuss his sexism and sexual harassment complaints. Then there is this guy. In some cases, racist is a fair charge, just like dishonesty.

Never mind what Ted Nugent and all the other right wingers say about GC,
Ted Nugent doesn't affect my opinion on anything. Neither does Thom Hartman.
or the threats of gun violence by the open carry mob in Texas.
I think these guys are fools, but I'm not going to judge them or anyone else based on unsubstantiated claims by the likes of Shannon Watts. Let's face it, MDA's credibility sucks as bad as Ted Nugent's guitar playing. Even CNN saw through the bogus school shooting numbers. Is getting sued for another bogus report they created.

Oh, then there is being appalled at the fact that some guy in Tampa was arrested (and what Florida calls "Baker acted&quot for tackling from behind and assaulting an elderly CCW holder. What was the CCW holder doing? Walking while black.

I guess Watts likes vigilantism?

My question is: why the weasel words like "sensible" and "reasonable" and nothing specific? Reasonable and sensible to whom? Judging from NY, CT, NJ etc they seem to mean UK or Mexico style gun laws. I don't call that sensible or reasonable.
