NRA Cannot Into Logic

This next video comes to us from the No-Fucking-Way file. Then again, pretty much everything comes from that file. This kind of inexplicable video is why we need the file in the first place.


I refuse to believe that someone made this video without a sense of irony or satire. This is a cruel mockery of gun activists, implying that their brains are made of kevlar and simple anti-Obama associations control their belief system. The liberal who created it thought it would be appropriate to denigrate the NRA with its authorship, as if the entire organization is filled with idiots incapable of thought. I mean, if this is not satire, then what would satire of a gun-thumping idiot look like?

D.Brooks has done an excellent job of detailing the ways in which it fails the sanity test.

The central contention of this advertisement reads like a multiple choice question on a test about logical fallacies. Besides refusing to assign Secret Service protection to your children, here are some other ways in which President Obama is a hypocrite:
1. Obama tells his children he loves them. When was the last time he said he loved you?
2. Obama’s children get to wrestle with him on the couch, but if you wrestle the president, a guy in sunglasses will break your arm.
3. Malia Obama gets to have cute cornrows, but when you got cornrows, you looked stupid.

When viewing this, it looks 70% likely to be from Onion News. When tracing the uploading user's account and reading press reports in third party news media, however, it looks to be real. This is really an NRA video that was a)thought up b)created and c)published. Somewhere along those steps it a determination that this video achieves something. And the line of thinking is is so eldritch as to baffle me.

How. The. Fuck is anyone with a brain supposed to think that Obama, the President of the United States of America, is being elitist by having armed protection for his family. Presidental security and armed guards in schools are not parallel issues. In fact, they're so perpendicular that only intersect one place in our known universe: this video. And at that point is a singularity of a)stupidity so dense it sucks the light out of my soul or b)cynicism so great it sucks the light out of my soul.
