Current Events > Is the NRA a hateful organization?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Here's the new big thing that will gain 0 traction and nothing will come of it:
http://act.everytown.org/sign/tell-streaming-services-its-time-to-drop-nratv_ET/

"NRATV is the media arm of the gun lobby. It propagates dangerous misinformation and inflammatory rhetoric that pits Americans against each other and furthers their agenda of guns anywhere, for anyone, no questions asked.

Currently, the streaming platforms AppleTV, Google's Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, and Roku are providing a platform for the NRAs dangerous rhetoric.

As parents and consumers, we are asking these companies to #DumpNRATV and stop providing it on their platforms.

American businesses have the responsibility to make ethical decisions about the content they will provide on their platforms. As consumers of these products, it's up to us to ask them to live up to their values.

NRATV promotes dangerous conspiracy theories, racially charged rhetoric, and violent demonization of the NRA's political opponents. Their hosts and guests have recently compared their political opponents to Nazis and ISIS, issued vague pronouncements that seemed to advocate for violence against peaceful protesters, and celebrated the rhetorical "curb-stomping" of the media, who they called the "rat bastards of the earth." With gun sales down, their motive is clear: make more people fearful and buy more guns to pad their bottom lines."

this whole thing reaks of irony and stupidity

1. The question was if it makes them hateful, not a hate group. These are different things, stop trying to convolute the issue.
2. I'd imagine you'd call those "liberal activists" as hateful people, correct?

You're not a patriotic American if you're not gunning down your fellow American.
