whats funny is it took a comment like this for this fundie libtard to say this...it wasnt any of the plethora of other fundie liberal comments it was the comparison to Kim Jong Un.
There are plenty of intellectually coherent reasons to oppose gun control. Liberals must stop pretending otherwise
Every once in awhile, someone I admire says or writes something so outrageous that I am compelled to come to the defense of a person of whom I am not fond, or a position which I do not share.
David Rothkopf runs Foreign Policy — far and away the best foreign affairs website on the internet, as well as a very solid magazine. On Tuesday, however, Rothkopf opted to demonize Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as more dangerous than Kim Jong Un, who — despite looking like a sketch-comedy dictator — is a ruthless leader who presides over a starving, terrified population.

Rothkopf's argument (you can read the whole thing here) is simple enough: Kim Jong Un may be a lunatic, but he is a lunatic highly unlikely to inflict damage on the United States. So Rothkopf suggests that we turn our attention to a supposed villain who he thinks is more worthy of our immediate attention: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and his colleagues threatening to filibuster gun control.
