Phony vet Blumenthal says NRA ‘out of touch’
The Washington Times reports that phony Vietnam veteran, Dick Blumenthal, Senator from Connecticut, is claiming that the NRA is “out of touch” with the rest of Americans;
Mr. Blumenthal said in an interview on MSNBC that 90 percent of all Americans and 74 percent of NRA members support background checks.
NRA officials “are really out of touch, not only with mainstream Americans, but also with their own members — and most responsible gun owners who actually want to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals, dangerous mentally ill people, domestic abusers,” he said.
Yeah, I’d venture a guess that the only people who wouldn’t support background checks as they exist today are criminals, but if anyone had the integrity to ask that poll question and add that liberal members of Congress want to keep a record of private purchases and won’t budge from that issue, Americans would answer differently.
Besides, Blumenthal built his reputation on his service in Vietnam that never happened and he thinks it’s no big deal. I’d say he’s massively out of touch with Veterans in regards to Stolen Valor. If I had to guess, I’d say that a large number of members of the NRA are veterans, so by denigrating the NRA, Blumenthal is claiming veterans who are members of the NRA are out of touch with America – and since he’s out of touch with veterans, what the Hell does he know about the issue and who is in or out of touch?

100% of SVA violators are dickheads.
You’re out of touch with the truth, you fucktard libtard phony Marine Vietnam combat veteran wannabee asshole…
Here we go with Libtards projecting again…
I always wonder about the phrasing on those surveys…. you can get close to 100% on “do you support pre-sales background checks to prevent criminals from buying guns”?
Try “Do you favor background checks on all purchases leading to a government database of who owns any guns. Said database will include such unsubstantiated opinions as the status of your mental health by unqualified observers, credit checks,
decades old arrests without convictions, divorce proceedings,
and being on terrorist watch lists without any right to know why uo are on such list or right of appeal.”? Bet that huge support percentage goes right out the window…..
Can’t add much to what you guys have said!
“74 percent of NRA members support background checks”
loooooooooooooooooool, no.
Also, I discount a poll that finds 90% of people agreeing on anything. If you said “Should the government discourage the eating of disabled babies to help reduce the medical costs of the babies care and to help feed poor people?” you wouldn’t get 90% of people agreeing.
Those 90% polls are usually Marist polls where they only ask about 1300 people what they think.

Stopped reading right there. Out of touch? Pot, kettle, black, shit like that.
Blumenthal makes me want to puke. Then box up said puke and send it to him with a note telling him to shut his fat, stolen valor, know nothing, lying assed mouth. How that turd got elected still drives me to drinking. What an a-hole.
Ohh I’m gonna say it before Green Thumb
Turd.
Blumenthal is another fine example of what I refer to as a political SLUT!
How that turd got elected still drives me to drinking.
Master Gunny–it’s CONNECTICUT, for Chrissakes.
Quit defaming sluts API 🙂
Yea he is more of a whore, sluts are honest about what they want.
Nah, I’ve got more respect for prostitutes and whores than politicians.
At least prostitutes/whores are up front about fucking you and taking your money in the process.
@12 I had faith that even in Connecticut, they would know you cannot polish a turd. Man did I get a wake up call. But he ran against Linda McMahon, who was not exactly a prime cut as far as political candidates go, her husbands money not withstanding…..
In addition to the stolen valor, these kind of activists and politicians piss me off to no end. They tell a blatant lie in hopes of making it truth. They’re using base human psychology in hopes of making people think “Gee, if the NRA is out of touch with society and I agree with the NRA, I better change my thinking because I want to be a sheeple like all my friends”.
Utter scumbaggery. Instead of encouraging debate and freethinking it’s just short of brainwashing. They tell kids to stand up to peer pressure from one side of their mouth and then use peer pressure out the other.
Hate those fucking people.
No one despises Blumenthal more than me, but he’s not a phony vet. He’s a lying vet. He served (Marine Reserves), but didn’t see combat. He lied about that. That means he’s still a vet, at least that’s what it should mean, IMO.
Ah yes, “Dickie” Blumenthal – he of the 5 draft deferments (1965-1970) , 6 years of stateside-only USMC Reserve service (1970-1976), but who still claimed to have “served in Vietnam” on multiple occasions. Obviously we should treat his each and every word as Gospel!

Good ol’ “Draft Dodgin’ Dickie”. Has a nice right to it, doesn’t it?
Thanks Dick, there’s no way a guy who was so out of touch with reality that he would lie about his proximity to Vietnam would also lie about other things right?
Once you are a known liar why would anyone respect your opinion, your character, or your ability to make a cognizant argument on any subject?
I’m not sure where Dick’s in touch with anything honest or real, but wherever that is I am grateful that I am no part of it.
Seeing as how the NRA has NOT released their membership rolls, how in the hell does Dick Blumenthal, or the polling company contracted by the DNC or Obama, know what NRA members want? Or are these self-identified NRA members, like the self-identified “members of the military” who contributed to Ronpaul?
Dick is still a dick…. in every sense of the word
HMCS(FMF): you mean he’s just Dickie bin Dick, so to speak? (smile)

He doesn’t. He doesn’t have to. He’s going to tell his lies about how he wishes things were and hope that convinces people to change their opinions to line up with his lies.
Not an NRA member here, but I know a few. But, if I were an NRA member, this would thoroughly honk me off and cause me to do something drastic like attend a demonstration carrying a sign saying something to the effect that this is just another lying turd.
Actually, it honks me off anyway!
Seems like they have been taken over by some sort of mantra, “Lie for effect. Lie at will.”
OK, I insulted sluts when I compared Blumenthal with them.
As for the “poll” Blu-boy claims, IF they did it, where did they poll, Downtown NYC? Greenwich Village? San Foo-foo?…
Someone tell me when or if Blumenthal ever decides to appear and make speeches in the Chicago area. I’ll be happy to go and yell “Liar, liar, pants on fire!” when or if he does that.
What is wrong with people in this country? I can’t believe such a POS can get elected when he’s a proven liar. Oh, wait, we have the Liar-in-Chief in DC. Never mind…..
