Brady Blog
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership has gone to a blog format. Here’s a post on spinning the elections:
The gun lobby’s spin operation in the wake of its sizable defeats last Tuesday is literally unbelievable. How, for example, can George Will say during the Sunday morning roundtable discussion on the Stephanopoulos show that the NRA was a “winner” when they lost over 82 percent of the 46 called races where their endorsed candidates ran against candidates endorsed by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence?
Well, the gun lobby hasn’t said that, to my knowledge. In fact, they’re quite down on it. The anti-gun lobby, of course, is spinning it like crazy even though it’s not great for them either.
I’ve not tried to leave a comment yet but I’d guess they’re heavily moderated. They don’t want any truth getting out.

I just posted a comment. The comment appeared on the page when posted, right under where is says “No Comments”. Clicking on the (top) post reveals the comment but I have no idea if anyone else can see it.

[…] SayUncle mentions the Brady Bunch’s new blog format. A few hours later I get an NRA email touting Weak Wayne’s new blog. Turns out that Wayne LaPierre blogs about as well as the average politician – it’s as much a blog as the stone tablets the ten commandments came on. […]

Marc,
That is how comment moderation works. There is a cookie on your computer that lets you see your comment. The rest of the world however will not see the comment until it has been approved.

#9, you’re right. The comment stayed after clearing my cache but disappeared after I cleared my cookies.

Anti gunners only can make money if it looks like they might win. The NRA makes more money (much much much much more) when it looks like it could lose.
I’d say its the perfect storm for both of them.

George Will is “the gun lobby”?
Huh.

Wow, isn’t that a little shady? Why not flat out say that comments are moderated?
Oh, yea, forgot who I was talking about.
