Why conservatives are so mad about the Parkland students

B

In Yo Face!
So what exactly is this cruel form of oppression that has been imposed on conservatives by the Parkland students and their media enablers?

Here’s the real difficulty the Parkland students present. It’s not that they’re passionate and surprisingly articulate for their age, though they are. It’s not that they’ve widened the conversation on guns by refusing to accept things the adults have taken as given for years, such as the idea that the NRA is simply too powerful to bother opposing, though they have. It’s that they’re too sympathetic. And when a spokesperson is sympathetic, when you attack them personally, you look like a jerk.

Despite what conservatives say, no one is going to criticize them when they disagree with the Parkland students on any substantive matter. If Rich Lowry argues that the students are wrong and goes on to explain why the minimum age to buy a rifle should remain at 18, no one will respond, “How dare you disagree with those lovely teenagers?”

No, what conservatives are really mad about is that the tactic of demonizing those they disagree with — which is so common in contemporary political rhetoric (on both the right and left) — has, in this case, been taken away from them.

The only problem I see with your Siri is that the right-wing nutjobs on this website have no problem at all going after children

Exactly, and they echo their masters in the RWNJ Reich who do the same. Some of them couch it in concerning tones like "Those kids should be in school, how will they qualify to get into college?" but mostly they just hate. Sickening, what the Right has devolved into.

But better yet ... these Children have no problem going back at them ... and that's what's really pissing them off.

You couldn't be more wrong, again. We are mad that these unfortunate kids have been brainwashed by leftist loons. You and your ilk better hope they never figure out they are nothing more than cannon fodder (literally) for the leftist agenda. If they do, there will be a reckoning. I don't think you have to worry though, it looks like the indoctrination has been complete, and utterly effective. These poor, innocent fools will continue to die to serve their intended purpose. Nice job libs, I hope you're proud.

Got it ... obviously that can't think for themselves ... so who's influencing you?

We don't hate them. I realize that's a difficult concept for libs, since you literally hate anyone who dares to disagree with you.

Really conservatives don't hate the Parkland Students?

All examples of attacks on the students themselves. Not their position but on them. If conservatives don't hate the Parkland Students then why are they attacking personally. If they only disagree with the Parkland Students message then why the lies about them being actors, why the disparaging comments, why the death threats?

A handful of idiots, half of which are probably leftist loons posing as cons, and another quarter of which are probably being mischaracterized as haters for simply disagreeing.

Do you judge the whole of liberalism based on a few whack jobs? Are leftists all assassins because some Bernie supporter shot up a bunch of republicans playing baseball?

So the NRA spokesman and leadership are idiots...I have to agree with you there.

Of course you believe they are bunch of leftist loons only posing as cons. That is the only way it can sustain your fantasy about conservatives only disagreeing with what they are saying.

You of course are drawing a false equivalency. One disturbed person does not represent a group. But that is not what I gave you. I gave a you examples of a planned, coordinated attack on a group of people by another group of people.
