PROVIDENCE, R.I. Sen. Joshua Miller, D-Cranston, has publicly apologized for hurling an expletive at a gun-rights activist during a recent demonstration at the State House.
After his comment was displayed in a YouTube video that had been sent to news outlets, Miller issued this statement: Regardless of the emotions and atmosphere of the moment, it does not justify the language I used that day. Out of respect for the decorum of the State House and the constituents I represent, I offer my apologies.
(The video, which providencejournal.com decided not to link to, takes a short exchange with Miller, copies it, and then loops it several times making it seem longer.)

In case any of you don't want to watch, one comment in the flood of right wing spam on Providence Journal Online describes it:
Another comment says:
And other comments mention that this story has made Glenn Beck's The Blaze website, The Blaze being a right wing ripoff of the Huffington Post. I'm sure some of you have seen this video posted on Facebook, no?

(261 posts)And why wouldn't Josh Miller answer a legitimate question? If he had given an answer instead of giving Bidondi a soundbite, then this would be a non issue.

We're told to go f* ourselves and that owning a gun is the moral equivalent of possessing child pornography.
It is rather ironic that the pro 2A side is accused by the anti gun nutters of not wanting to compromise. I wonder why that is?
I guess the truth hurt, which is why it was hidden.

(32,034 posts)That hidden post contains all sorts of talk that belongs on a site like AR-15.com not a progressive message board. Especially the sentence, "We're told to go f* ourselves and that owning a gun is the moral equivalent of possessing child pornography." Seriously?

(12,194 posts)Really? You're saying that you're unaware of the child porn comparisons in this very forum?

Those links are to a previously banned anti-gunners posts. An anti-gunner who is now here under another name. Read some of those posts, and you should find sufficient to answer your questions.
Now the question becomes whether you're so blind you wont see them, or not.
Are you as ready and willing to denounce such behavior now that I've given you the evidence that shows its true, as you are to attack me for pointing it out?
If not, you're implying that comparing guns and gun ownership to child porn is a progressive value, which even the most die hard anti-gunners know is false.
On edit: Tell us, which part of what I quoted is untrue.
