Gun Bloggers Major Source Of TSA Animus

By now, it’s clear to most Americans that dangerous, suicidal individuals like Ciancia have ready access to military-style firepower because of the lobbying of groups like the National Rifle Association (NRA). They might not be aware, however, that the pro-gun movement is also equally responsible for disseminating violent, anti-government rhetoric, much of it aimed at the TSA specifically.

Pro-gun bloggers have follow the NRA’s lead and directed their own attacks at government agents, including the TSA. Robert Farago, a blogger at “The Truth About Guns,” called TSA agents “blue shirted goons” after Nugent’s wife was arrested for illegally carrying a gun into a terminal at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in August.
Mike Vanderboegh, the former Alabama militia leader and Fox News commentator who made national headlines after calling for the offices of Democratic Members of Congress to be vandalized during consideration of the Affordable Care Act, referred to TSA agents on his blog as “nanny state fascist perverts.” Pro-gun activist Andrew Johnston chose a similar slur, describing TSA agents as “filthy perverts.” And so on…
Oh good grief. There he goes again blaming the big ole’ bad NRA. Frankly, I’m deeply offended that he didn’t mention me for my coverage of TSA and TSA Ineptitude. But I would have thought the major animus against the TSA had to do with the facts that their programs don’t do one thing to help transportation safety, and the department being a jobs program for ne’er-do-wells, abusers of the elderly, child molesters, ignorant hicks and uneducated morons who cannot find productive work any other way.
I guess you learn something every day, including the fact that you’d better watch your six (and twelve, and three, and nine) when the TSA gets hold of guns (via Glenn).

And I stand by my sentiment that the TSA Gate-rapists are “Filthy Perverts”. Also I respect the 2nd Amendment as much as the 4th, as well as the other amendments to the Constitution, even the ill-conceived 18th Amendment because it was both ratified and removed the CORRECT way.
Of course we know that Josh and his anti-freedom compatriots have respect for no human rights, and that should be hung around their necks like an albatross.
