Shaming is the correct response when people exhibit shameful behavior.



Shaming to assert dominance is a form of covert aggression used to wage war in the social environment.

the larger issue is that you are illogically trying to discredit an article that
is quoting the NRA's own words by pointing to the fact that the news
publication at a point in the past lost a lawsuit relating to a completely
different story and set of facts.

he could also point you to 10 other articles reporting the same thing...

the NRA lost 65m last year based on public tax documents and they have
claimed in their court filing that they are unable to secure the necessary
insurance to conduct their fundraising operations due to their poor
financial position...a position which they blame the state for after they
successfully won a judgement against the NRA for selling bullshit gun
incident insurance.

so, as usual, the facts really are not up for dispute and you're using a
completely illogical argument to discredit the person reporting the facts.

your google search phrase says it all....

all ad hominem, no merit.

Talk about illogical. Did you even read the story you dumbass? Do you grasp it? That document is a complaint in a lawsuit. It is alleging financial harm if the court doesn't find in its favor. That's how lawsuits are written when you are seeking financial damages. I can assure you that a decade from now we'll be having the same debates about the NRA as we are today.

it appears that I misspoke.

NRA promoted the plan, but the policy violated NY state law and the broker
that administered it
had to pay a $7m penalty.


and for clarity, GromsDad is pointing out that Rolling Stone had to pay a fine in the
past for poor journalism in an attempt to impugn them for being hyperbolic even
though he concedes that the originally quoted court documents contain language
that is itself hyperbolic.

I don't think the NRA is going out of business.

it does appear that they are hemorrhaging money though. maybe that means they'll
pack up their media LOB and the name Dana Loesch will once again fade in to
obscurity.

He calls other dudes chicks, that’s his thing.

He says a real man has to be “assertive” with women.

If you bring reason or sympathy into a debate, it’s “chick thinking”.

Then he posts some tabloid gossip or an emo quiz.

oh good to know.
I was wondering if he went through some kind of gender reassignment or just identifies himself as a chick now. GMommy or GHottie?
Need to be pronoun-safe these days.

Don't be upset that your donations can't keep up. If you donate enough, you'll get a certificate proclaiming you as an honorary tovarisch.

$1 million ain't that much for ad spending. especially on something so important like a supreme court nomination

Despite all the outrage from the left, the NRA really doesn't spend all that much on elections and such. Its a myth of sorts. I heard a statistic a while back about how much the NRA spent in the last election cycle. It was actually less than a state teachers union had spent in the same period. I forget what state it was at the moment.

This.

Also, lots of struggling companies out there that continue to overextend themselves on sales and marketing expenditures despite being in the red. If you don't keep up appearances, people right you off as done and revenue dries up.

Goes for celebrities too. They have to maintain appearances to portray success, even if in debt to their eyebrows. Otherwise, they get forgotten.

NRA spent $54 million during the 2016 election. Teacher unions spent a TINY fraction of that
