You just lied (strawmanned) in the post before this one. Heck you also did it in the post I quoted. Other people have been able to talk on both sides without lying. (ex: Daseal, me, and RR)

Not to mention you still owe RR an apology, don't you?

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath HG, I know we're all forewarned when we see a Giantone posting it'll be a 'giant one', as in big lie.

No I don't owe anyone anything ,I'm not the one who said the lady in the artical should go make a sandwich.
You talk to posters that agree with you,the ones that don't you call liar.

As someone once said of Ipsos (who did the poll for Reuters) Nevertheless, particularly when a poll produces what appears to be an outlying result, as the recent Ipsos poll did, reporters and analysts should treat it with suspicion and consider whether the discrepancies are explained by questionable methodology. Too often these outlier polls receive more attention precisely because their results are surprising or unexpected, but they usually deserve less.

A bit like this poll, but wouldn't tout it as a serious source either:

Fox News poll: Twice as many favor more guns over banning guns to reduce crime

The poll from the WaPo was done by OpinionWorks, a notoriously biased Left wing joke.

It would be like me running a poll to see how many people on Warpath think you're a lying douchbag, and only asking myself.

OMFG! 100% of people asked said Giantone is a lying douchebag!

Also, the lady started a ****ing Facebook page. Way to be an activist!

You made it sound like I was mocking the victims, which was your ploy, it failed, you're a lying douchebag. Polls don't lie, right?

GTFOOH!

Actually in order to properly sensationalize it your summary should be "OMFG! 100% of Warpathers said Giantone is a lying douchebag!" . As seen here:

The poll, mostly taken before Obama released his recommendations, found 74 percent of Americans favor a ban on assault weapons, with 26 percent opposed.

And im not too sure an online poll (wtf is an online poll???) of 559 American (cause its hard to get people to take polls online) represent the the prevailing attitude of all Americans. Although, the poll is within 4.7% of Ipsos's propierty "creditability interval" (wtf is a creditability interval and why dont stastical probabilities apply to Ipsos's polls????).

A ban on high-capacity ammunition clips was backed by 74 percent, and 26 percent were opposed.

I dont care when people mistakenly call magazines "clips", but shouldnt a scientific surv.... err, online poll properly identify the item in question?


Heres another poll:

Most support NRA despite recent criticism, poll shows | Fox News

^ I tried to find this reported by another major news source because i know how much everyone here hates Fox...... Apperently only Fox found this news worthy, even though i think its pretty darn interesting. I wonder if it would be reported if the results were much less favorable to the NRA?

Its a Gallup poll, imho the most creditable. Although instead of creditability analysis they use that witches brew "margin of errors" and "stastical analysis" stuff. The math is too fancy for me to make sense of it:

NRA Has 54% Favorable Image in U.S.





*Giantone, i dont think youre a douchbag, im just using RR's statement for my example.

No, you accused RR of making fun of the murders in Conn. And you got called on that lie.

No, I've responded to Daseal and Lotus, whom I disagree with but respect, in part because they didn't lie like you did. Are you through making false accusations against people you disagree with, giantone? It's becoming a trend with you.

No, what you ascribe to the "gun culture" is precisely what you're doing now. You lied about RR, you lied about me (and basically anyone you've disagreed with this thread).

Oh, and since you keep mentioning the NRA like you're scared of it.. boo!

NRA RESPONSE TO PRESIDENT OBAMA'S GUN CONTROL PROPOSALS
01/16/2013

Throughout its history, the National Rifle Association has led efforts to promote safety and responsible gun ownership. Keeping our children and society safe remains our top priority.

The NRA will continue to focus on keeping our children safe and securing our schools, fixing our broken mental health system, and prosecuting violent criminals to the fullest extent of the law. We look forward to working with Congress on a bi-partisan basis to find real solutions to protecting America's most valuable asset — our children.

Attacking firearms and ignoring children is not a solution to the crisis we face as a nation. Only honest, law-abiding gun owners will be affected and our children will remain vulnerable to the inevitability of more tragedy.
