lol. Now begging the Parkland parents to make their teens be quiet and go away. https://www.redstate.com/kimberly_ross/2018/03/31/parkland-parents-time-to-step-in/ …

Dear Parkland Parents: It’s Time For You To Step In
Where are Parkland parents during all of this?
redstate.com

The NRA and their minions are terrified of these young people. If we can keep the pressure on our Representatives, we might actually see something happen this time.

[Hortensis]

1. Where does he think they were? Many were driving

their kids to demonstrations and serving as volunteers for large events.

[Arkansas Granny]

2. The author of that ill-conceived article knows nothing about teens

if she thinks it's so easy to make them sit down and shut up about something they believe in so strongly.

[Hortensis]

8. :) Yes. These kids' parents didn't want to, we can be pretty

sure of that. It's likely, though, that some kids did obey orders from, for instance, some strongly conservative parents to not be involved.

[Duppers]

40. He?

This is Josh Marshall quoting Kim Ross at RedState.com.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Had my pro NRA lifer Brother

repeat this same f---n statement yesterday. And he did say that the Parkland Students are driving him and his Gunner Pals nuts.

[Arkansas Granny]

4. That's great. I hope there are more marches planned.

The attitudes are changing and these kids might be able to bring about some changes.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. Sorry to say,he does not get it.

Still carrying tons of baggage from Nam. PTSD hit him big-time and fortunately with time and Counseling,things will improve. The VA people are my Hero's .

[malaise]

17. Another one is coming up on the Columbine anniversary

April 20 - it will be 19 years since that horrific day.

[Wellstone ruled]

45. Our Daughter was talking about that this morning.

Her Nieces attended that School at the time. Wow,19 years.

[malaise]

46. Time flies

The Sandy Hook survivors are almost teens -some might be already.

[TEB]

9. Same here

My Nra pals just do not get it

[calimary]

15. Well that's just too damn bad.

It can certainly be viewed as fitting payback for all the times they’ve embraced the “shut up and dribble” crap.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

36. Tell your brother that at least they're

not killing people.

[elmac]

37. They all get their talking points from russian proaganda via cambridge analytical

like entities which are echoed my fox putin news.

[Tanuki]

5. Emma Gonzalez' parents were right there to hug her after her amazing

speech and eloquent silence at the March.

[Arkansas Granny]

6. Yes, right where they should be.

[Tanuki]

34. Absolutely. They have raised an extraordinary daughter and they trust her

to know what is right for her, while giving her the love and support she needs. I am in awe of them.

[Sophiegirl]

22. It had me in tears

I am tearing up now just thinking about it.

[Gothmog]

7. Boo Hoo

Those mean students are interfering with Laura Ingaham's right to be a vile human being

[ornotna]

10. Very well put

Right to the point.

[calimary]

16. I tweeted her about that.

Reminded her that she’s a cancer survivor. One would think that would have made her a nicer person.

[blake2012]

59. She sent me a snarky reply to my email

I don’t believe she has a soul.

[nolabear]

11. In the words of the most important people in this fight:

“I call BS!”

[world wide wally]

13. Their parents support them like caring, sentient parents should

[Skittles]

14. no, Ms. Ross, it's time for CONGRESS to step in

and stop acting like a bunch of NRA-pimping ASSHOLES

OMG, how can she advise kids who witnessed MASS SLAUGHTER that what they are doing is "unhealthy".....seriously, WTF is wrong with her

[malaise]

35. I can't believe these lunatics

they must keep quiet because the NRA and its goons say there is no right time to discuss the slaughter of innocents by guns.

[Skittles]

38. they are just shocked because people are finally speaking up and calling the NRA what it really is

a fucking TERRORIST organization

[malaise]

42. +1,000

[sunonmars]

18. These kids understand and live the internet, the GOP'ers will lose everytime.

[woundedkarma]

19. Right behind their kids, cheering them on with the proudest beaming smiles on their faces.

Or that would be me, if it was my child standing up to protect an entire nation of children from people who only care about money.

[forgotmylogin]

64. So far they seem to be doing a great job...

Supporting but not getting in their way or trying to step in the spotlight.

[paleotn]

20. Considering what they did to Laura Ingarham....

in a mere few days, they should be terrified.

[sunonmars]

21. The internet is their battlefield and they are generals on it....

[Bernardo de La Paz]

23. Parkland / NRA-land

[Virtual Burlesque]

24. I'm not a kid anymore, but I cry bullshite to everything you said,

When a group of youngsters start a crusade that makes their parents, their school, city, state and country vaingloriously proud of them, do you think any cranky ammosexual complaint about parental control -- as if those kids were running amock during Spring Break at Fort Lauderdale -- will have any effect?

Only within the Republican echo chamber, of course, as it desperately tries to crank up some kind of defence, or misdirection to cover the seriously exposed nether cheeks of the NRA, its supporters and enablers.

[DinahMoeHum]

25. Anything that makes the NRA piddle their pants. . .

. . .is fine by me.

[blake2012]

26. Shut up, stupid conservatives. Were evolving. Youre going extinct

Fucking assholes

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Who is afraid of the NRA?

[BobTheSubgenius]

28. First....props, as always, to Josh Marshall.

Second, and vastly more important...about damned time "something happened!"

[Bernardo de La Paz]

29. Puppets

[Arkansas Granny]

30. Good one.

[Beartracks]

61. Spot on. Repubs always accuse others of being/doing the very things...

... that Republicans themselves are or are doing.

========

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. 74%

[Arkansas Granny]

33. And 75% of Americans favor stricter gun control.

Which means that Congress represents the NRA, not the American people.

[Beartracks]

60. Which is why fomenting fears* to drive up sales is their #1 gimmick.

That'd be the fear that "liberals are gonna take your guns."

=========

[Bernardo de La Paz]

63. Yup, and then turns out that only one to actually propose taking guns is their own guy. . . . nt

[blake2012]

32. I found an email for this fuckwad and just let her have it.

[Duppers]

44. ...

Good job.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

39. I must say that as proud of my kids

as I've always been, as wonderful as they are, they have never done anything this amazing.

I can only try to imagine what the parents of those who died at Parkland, and at every other school shooting is thinking. I would be weeping that my own child is not still alive, and immensely grateful for what these survivors are doing.

[blake2012]

47. The parents should respond by telling fuckers like this to STEP OFF and the sue for libel

And for defamation against all of these lying and name calling conservative he outlets. Just never stop punching back at these fucking conservative hate mongers.

[Arkansas Granny]

50. If your kids are like mine, they never had to do something like this

because no one ever walked into their school with a high powered rifle and started shooting. I can’t even imagine the terror those students felt that day and the experience will follow them through life.

The fact that they have had shooting drills at my 8 yo great granddaughters school just makes me sick to think about it.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

51. You got it.

Although, someone did once bring a gun to their school and held a classmate of my younger son hostage in a boys room for several hours. It ended without shooting and the kid was expelled.

[malaise]

53. Lovely post

That's the truth

[skypilot]

41. "...growing, and quite bloated, sense of entitlement..."

I'm stunned when people have the audacity to describe these kids as entitled. What exactly do these people resent them for feeling entitled to? The right to not get blown away at school? Yeah, a bunch of entitled, bratty snowflakes for wanting that.

[Farmer-Rick]

48. Exactly

The NRA types forget that these kids have gone thru a horrific experience where they saw friends and loved ones die in front of them while fearing for their lives hiding from one of those NRA types.

Do you think their parents aren't in just as much pain? Some of their parents lost children in that horrific event too. God these NRA tyes are just so totally out of touch.

[gratuitous]

55. If you don't want to get shot at school, maybe you shouldn't live in the United States

Is that how we should read this Red State nonsense? Buncha pin-dicked bugfuckers.

[GusBob]

43. "it's gross! It's grotesque!"

Good lord Kimberly

[onethatcares]

49. nothing like burying you child

before he or she has a chance to graduate.

These people are nucking futz.

I hate to wish ill to others, but this is an exception.

[blake2012]

52. To email Red State author....

This is her email as I did her response from her.

[e-mail]

[lame54]

54. You mean their proud parents?

[floWteiuQ]

56. Like all cowards...

The gun nutters are just big babies!

[PatrickforO]

57. The Parkland parents are in the same place as the

Sandy Hook parents, the Aurora theater shooting parents, the Arapahoe High School parents, the Columbine parents and the parents of victims from dozens of other mass shootings.

Squarely behind, and supporting the kids. And, yes, we will all be voting too.

[yourmovemonkey]

58. Joking about sexual assault is just "locker room talk"

and perfectly OK.

But standing up and asking for something to protect your peers from being shot down in school is just too much?

These people are nuts.

[LisaM]

62. That's an absolutely clueless statement.

These kids are clearly who their parents raised them to be.
