"We've got gay bashing going on, we have race bashing, and right in there in the mix is conservative bashing."

Hey, I've found a service, FOAAS, that will allow total automation of posts here on Pols! For example, JeffcoBlue can set it to provide this url as an auto-reply for every post I make. Isn't technology wonderful 🙂
"Every"??? …
… it'd only be needed for 95% of the posts you make!
;~)
Well played, Dave! This could be useful. 🙂

I don't suppose ol' Rush ever considered that the conservative-bashing might be a result of the conservatives who do the race- and gay-bashing, huh?
Rush will soon join Glenn Beck on the lunatic fringe of the internet. His advertisers have mostly bailed, due to the efforts of Color of Change and other progressive groups.
So he's desperately trying to promote his own victimhood, while ignoring the pain he inflicts on others. I don't feel at all sorry for him, though…he's made millions peddling racism, sexism, and, (nod to Dave) guanopsychosis.
I am just glad to know that Rocky Mountain Gun Owners Assoc. is out there today to make sure everyone knows that their own self-centered desires for deadly weapons are always to be considered more important than the safety and lives of the general public, including the Aurora shooting victims. Me, and what I want always. Fuck the rest. Classy move and excellent timing from a public relations perspective.
Yep, and ArapaGOP is out there with his sign "Free 2nd Amendment Political Prisoner J. Holmes"
July 19, 2012 – " It's too early to have that conversation"
July 19, 2013 – " 2nd amendment ! "
July 19, 2014 – " look, over there ! "
Did anybody else notice the actual Arapahoe GOP disavowing ArapaGOP on Facebook?
Ouch, really?
I wonder if they've stopped payment on his checks, too??!!??
You are making that up. It's still funny.
I wonder when Guppy will screw up the courage to return (I hope I've got the link right):
https://www.facebook.com/ArapahoeCountyRepublicanParty?hc_location=timeline
That didn't work too well. So, again, hosted this time. Not a joke…
Good catch, PCW! I'm glad to see that announcement on their site disavowing (and rebuking) ArapaGOP, whomever they may be.
But, predictably, one commenter accuses our ArapaGOP of being a "Saul Alinsky"-style lefty plant. Hilarious for all of us who have read A-GOP's self-righteous, often nonsensical, posts.
PCW? Meant PCG. Damn keys moved on my keyboard!
I appreciate your good intentions in not using a diminutive for "woman," but it's OK to say Cowgirl to a Cowgirl 😉
An undercover lefty? Or, doing his job so well that his superiors disavow him?
Holy Crap, Guppy is Serpico.
Glancing at the party's Facebook page, it certainly appears that ArapaGOP gets all of his talking points and links directly from them.
Maybe Guppy is just a Groupie, but I tend to think he's one of theirs that finally went too far (hard to believe there are boundaries afterall for the GOP).
I know. And how bad do you have to be to get called out by these guys?
I went to their facebook page, and they're pretty zany, cooky, extreme and disingenous themselves.
The Alinsky thing is pretty funny.
I know. Apparently, I'm a devil worshipper, since I've actually read Alinsky. These guys like to trot him out like they trot out the kinky Muslim sex sites – they've never read Alinsky, never gone into a mosque or had a real conversation with a Muslim- but they read all about it on a blog, and so they are now experts.
Concur.
When my kids were young, see went to see Jaws. We all came home "shark experts"
Same thing here.
A few of us on the right think we have a pretty good hunch of who ArapaGOP is. Not going to "out" somebody against their will, but we are pretty sure that ArapaGOP is no leftist plant.

I must say, ArapaGOP is the bestest righty advocate in the world and the Colorado GOP should let him write their press releases. Its not like it can get much worse.
Did you all see the Guppy go on and on about the Westboro-West rally–and Dudley's noble mission–and twenty people show up, sans the Dudmeister (or is that scheister?) himself; who stayed at home hiding, no doubt with some hard metal in his hand. The Guppy was right again. Those GOPers really showed that Mayor Bloomberg!
So, obviously he's not a leftist plant, he is top notch GOP quality. Please expand his range as it is difficult to imagine how the Colorado GOP could ever lose by giving the Guppy more control and authority.
The Sleeping Majority and Silent Giant stay home, again
can you tell us what the signs say? I think one says Bloomber Go Home but can't read the others
I think the one says Holmes had 2nd Amendment rights too!
Maybe they're all in their cars, afraid to get out? Oh, and which one do you suppose is Guppy? He assured us he'd be there…..
If I squint, I think I can make one of them out…
"DEAR GUPPY-
DAD WAS NOT YOUR REAL FATHER.
LOVE, MOM"
Did you happen to notice the fine print?: …
"PS — your real dad is Jimmy Carter."
Study finds fracking chemicals didn't pollute water

That's 1 in a row! Yippee! This was a mutually agreed upon experimental study between the government and the drilling company.
Besides, recall the axiom "That which is measured improves. That which is measured and reported improves exponentially."
then, there is this:

STUNNING: Obama Delivers Surprise Race Sermon
Calling gun fanciers in Grand Junction: Can this possibly be accurate?
My ID on huffpost is "mamajama". I try to reply to fairly sane people, but not sure about this one, and I don't know enough about guns & availability on western slope to know if he is telling the truth at all. This sounds like something there was a lot of conversation about on here, that Hick modified the implementation of, but my eyes glaze over when I read gun tech talk.
Mamajama, it makes sense that they would have to stop selling certain types of firearms including most notably the Glock 17. The standard version of the 17 takes a 17 round mag (thus the name).
The 17 is probably one of the most popular guns for concealed carry due to its durability and light weight.
On the other hand, the gun manufacturers do make models that come with 15-round magazines – AK's, 22s, and 9mm (as the poster states).
In fact, looking online, I see that Glock sells the Glock 17 in capacity-limited states with a 10-round magazine, or you can buy the Glock 19 (slightly smaller model, but same basic gun mechanics and design) which comes standard with a 15-round magazine.
So anyone complaining that they can't buy any guns – including the Glock 17 – in this state is full of BS. Maybe the gun shop doesn't have any in stock, but it's not the government's fault.
Further, you might venture to Wikipedia regarding the naming convention; they cite a German article that says '17' came from the fact that it was the company's 17th technical drawing that eventually made it off the drawing board. (Interestingly, it's also the number of criteria that the Austrian government had in the competition Glock won to provide the country's army with a new pistol – whole lotta 17s in the gun's history…)
Thanks for the helpful info. My reply to the huffpo guy:
According to knowledgeable gun fanciers, you should still be able to buy a 15 round or less AR or 22, or 9mm, anywhere in Colorado. There are various work-arounds to adapt a particular gun to be lower mag capacity. If your particular Grand Junction shop doesn't carry them, it's due to that store's policies, not the legislation.
So you can't get a Glock 17. What were you going to do with those extra 2 rounds/magazine, that you can't do with a regular semi auto gun with a 15 round or less magazine?
The reason for the legislation you oppose is that these high capacity magazines are primarily to kill large numbers of people quickly. For hunting and sport shooting, 15 round magazines are more than adequate. My own home defense is two large barking dogs, good relationships with my neighbors, and a 410 shotgun. Why would anyone need more?
for hunting even a 15 round magazine has been against the regulations of CO Parks and Wildlife for many, many years as it is in most places
