How the White House silenced gun control groups
http://www.politico.com/story/2013/0...ups-88546.html
President Barack Obama’s gun control agenda is looking more doomed by the day, but gun control advocates still haven’t said a word to complain.
That’s no accident.
The White House knew its post-Newtown effort would require bringing key gun control groups into the fold. So the White House offered a simple arrangement: the groups could have access and involvement, but they’d have to offer silence and support in exchange.
The implied rules, according to conversations with many of those involved: No infighting. No second-guessing in the press. Support whatever the president and Vice President Joe Biden propose. And most of all, don’t make waves or get ahead of the White House.Last edited by ShooterInPA1; March 8th, 2013 at 08:47 PM.
The USA is now a banana republic. Only without the bananas....or the Republic.
