Some years back I was called a pinko-commie, bleading heart liberal and a jack-booted, totalitarian brownshirt both in the same day.
I briefly thought about having an identity crisis, but I got over it.
Probably couldn't decide whether to have that crisis or not just like you couldn't decide to be a brownshirt or a pinko.
Pink and brown actually look pretty good together. At least they did when hippies weren't afraid to wear pink.
I'll pass for less than PC reasons.
The one thing not being mentioned in this thread is that commercials should do MORE than just try to get voters to the polls. That certainly should matter but we should also care about winning the hearts and minds of the country. Even if the ad doesn't convince a dyed in the wool liberal to vote for the more likely to support 2A issues conservatives in elections we can still benefit from moving the needle on polls that are taken. It doesn't do us much good to insult people who might actually take our side in opinion polls and there's no doubt that politicians stick their finger in the air to see which way the wind is blowing every chance they get. And mostly they do that by looking at polls. If they see that a lot of otherwise liberal people support the 2A they will be less inclined to try to push gun control issues. They obviously want those control laws whether or no but many of them don't want to ruin their joyride in Washington. Clearly there were some libs that voted to recall the gun grabbers in CO for example. That will definitely make a dent in the gung ho gun grabber march to eliminate all 2A rights.
We lose too many of these battles to alienate anyone that might help us in any way. Heck those liberals might have joined the NRA to fight for the 2A if they hadn't been insulted by the NRA. Not all liberal causes are bad. Not all liberals are loons. We need to stop adopting the tactics of the left which drive wedges between groups and make them choose one side or the other. They accuse us of all being right wing. It makes it seem they are right when we attack liberals. It isn't liberals we are fighting. It's gun grabbers. Someone who wants more government spending, for example, doesn't automatically want gun control.
One of my best friends is a liberal in almost every respect except the 2A. We shoot together a lot. We've been friends since we were in grade school. I don't want the NRA driving him away. He might well join the NRA despite being liberal on all issues besides guns but if they insult him like that he isn't likely to join up.
Heck my brother is a card carrying union liberal type. We grew up shooting as one of our main pastimes. How does it help us for the NRA to slam liberals when some of them support the 2A? If anything they might drive him away from the cause by doing that. Why would he want to associate with a group that demonizes him?
I used to support women's rights when it was about equal pay for equal work and things like that. When it became about all men being rapists who want to keep their wives barefoot and pregnant I stopped supporting their cause. They drove me away. I don't want the NRA doing the same thing to people who support the 2A now and insulting them is a good way to drive them away.
