Although Taylor Marsh is a well-known political analyst,
writer and strategist, I still might have discounted someone I never heard of
like Stan Solomon whose Talk to Solomon
Show recently had conservative blogger Greg W. Howard on his show. I have also not heard of Howard but being new
to the game of critical politics, just figure I may not yet be up to speed. However, when Larry Pratt’s name came up I
not only took notice but became very interested. As a gun fanatic, Pratt is only topped by
Wayne LaPierre, head of the National Rifle Assn. (NRA).

There’s more. “I believe they will put together a racial force to go against an opposite race resistance, basically a black force to go against a white resistance, and then they will claim anyone resisting the black force they are doing it because they are racist,” commented Solomon and seconded by Howard. Can you believe this idiot Howard accuses Obama of sowing the seeds of racial hatred when it has been clear from the President’s first inauguration that many in this country dislike, even hate, Barack Obama simply because he is black?
Clip from the Helter Skelter movie:
There is a comparison between Obama’s gun control legislation and the incidents at Waco and Ruby Ridge where government force was used to quell an illegal uprising, resulting in lives lost. Each of those episodes was carried out due to a defiance of the law and the people involved decided to fight rather than surrender peacefully. Arnold asks the question which is no doubt uppermost in the mind of anyone who reads her article:
“I don’t know how many people take this kind of ‘thinking’ seriously,
but it’s happening in the context of the ongoing national debates about gun and
ammunition controls.” It is gun hugger
scare tactics at their worst…my words.
And then Arnold quotes Evan McMorris-Santoro of Talking Points Memo who exclaims the war over gun
control has gone to the “ground;” in other words as the media decide it is
yesterday’s news, both sides will depend on grass-roots action to get the job
done. McMorris-Santoro points out that
the NRA is already running ads against weak Democrat and Republican moderates in
states like Arkansas, Louisiana, Maine, North Carolina and West Virginia. At the same time we can expect more on gun
control through groups like Gabby Giffords new PAC.
Those moderate Democrats, above, are not as afraid this go-around because of the rash of firearm deaths across the country, particularly mass incidents like the Newtown, CT massacre. The Senate is working on a plan re, universal background checks but McMorris-Santoro comments, “there’s the usual GOP House members who oppose most everything that isn’t their idea. Some of them probably think it’s possible ‘Obama is Raising a Private Black Army to Massacre White Americans.’” Shades of Charles Manson and his HelterSkelter.
