NY Times gets busted in a lie, again
The Times writer had to have searched far and wide for the most unappealing anti-gun gun owners on the planet and found two living in the same household in Washington state. From TFA:Mr. Kundu is a master marksman from rural Washington who owns pistols and assault rifles for self-defense, all while claiming to detest the presence of guns in his life and in the broader American culture. "I'd love to see all guns destroyed," he said. "But I'm not giving up mine first." The link in the title points to a refutation of the bonifides of the individuals in the Times article: This is not the first time Kundu has been in the media pitching himself as a self-hating, anti-hunting gun owner. CNN has taken the bait too. So who is Michael Kundu? Well, he was School Board President for Marysville School District who ended up in hot water in the past for writing a racist e-mail as a school board president. Also, as School Board President, he attempted to censor dissenting viewpoints on global warming from being discussed in schools. You mean that didn't make the Times article? Perhaps more telling, Kundu's associated with Sea Shepherd, who were recently declared pirates by the 9th Circuit: Johnston's 1997 stock donation included shares of a company named Northern Development Associates, a for-profit business which is now 100-percent owned by Sea Shepherd. Sea Shepherd's own web site says he was Pacific Northwest coordinator for the group in 1997. You can see a profile of him here. Additionally, his activities have earned him the ire of native Americans. As the blogger notes: How stupid does the New York Times think we all are? A gross enough adverb has yet to be invented, I suspect And are we to believe that no one at CNN, or the New York Times, are aware that the new, moderate voice of gun ownership is in fact a radical activist with a group that has been accused of engaging in piracy on the high seas? There is nothing ordinary or moderate about this guy. Posted by: badanov 2013-03-11 |
