In a further blow to those pressing for the institution of controversial net neutrality rules, it emerged on Monday that the Gun Owners of America (GOA) has exited the Save the Internet coalition backed by pro-regulation liberal groups such as Free Press. [More]I can understand that--as the effort evolved, government empowerment dangers became more apparent.
I see some attacking GOA and Larry Pratt for this in a very ugly way--and viciously, ridiculing them for associating with "liberal" organizations in what they initially perceived to be a common effort.
This is hypocrisy.
The same crowd seemed to think it was OK for NRA to ally with the ACLU on "campaign finance reform" (as did I, incidentally), but then had no problem defending the Association's decision to endorse its principle architect, presumably because of all that "common ground" he shares with us.
And I've read all kinds of apologia for NRA allying itself with the Bradys on the "mental health" abomination.
You can make book the same crowd will be out there using the handy "single issue" talking point to tell us why an endorsement of one of the Republic's leading domestic enemies will be in all our best interests.
