Also, Chairman Meow is Blinking at a Normal Rate Again

Comrade Misfit (Just an Earth-Bound Misfit, I) calls out the NRA (actually, the official publication, American Rifleman).

We have a lot of things that people disagree on. If you are going to preach to the choir and effectively give up any hope of persuading the other listeners to adopt your point of view, then fine, shit like calling the President "King Pinocchio" is not the worst thing anyone has said about him.[footnote in original] Nobody with more than six functioning neurons is ever going to expect reasoned discourse from the likes of Glenn Back, Rush Limbaugh or Donald Trump.

But if you want to have your point of view listened to by the other side and treated seriously, you don't do it by opening with insults. When the NRA claimed that the Obama Administration wasn't listening to them, well, shit, who can blame the Administration for that? Would you take seriously a guy who called you a Marxist tool?

The NRA used to be known as bipartisan. That the editor of their magazine is airing his inner wingnut is Not A Good Sign.
