Here we go again. Obama just can’t let his ideas stand alone on their own merits. No, he’s got to exploit and manipulate people to get his gun-control agenda accomplished.

Ugh:

REUTERS – President Barack Obama’s fellow Democrats in Congress are bringing victims of gun violence to his State of the Union address on Tuesday night, providing faces and voices to the carnage that he wants to curb with new firearms restrictions.

About two dozen victims, including a girl from Newtown, Connecticut – site of the December 14 school massacre that killed 20 children and six adults – will see a divided Congress, uncertain what, if any, new gun laws to pass.

And lawmakers will see victims who agree with Obama that bold action is needed now, including a ban on semi-automatic assault weapons and a limit on high-capacity ammunition clips, like those used in the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.

The move is part of a multi-faceted campaign by gun control advocates to apply public pressure on members of Congress to stand up to the gun-rights lobby, despite fears that it could cost some of them reelection.

UPDATE: OK, this is a pretty awesome rebuttal to the above:

While other members of Congress are hosting gun-control advocates for Tuesday’s State of the Union address, Rep. Steve Stockman has given one of his visitor’s gallery tickets to Ted Nugent, the conservative gun-rights supporter.

“I am excited to have a patriot like Ted Nugent joining me in the House Chamber to hear from President Obama,” Mr. Stockman said in a statement announcing the choice. “After the address I’m sure Ted will have plenty to say.”

We already know what state the union is in and Obama isn't going to say anything that's going to improve it, I can miss this. With any luck, there will be a 'Pawn Stars' marathon or something else interesting to watch on TV. ;-)

If Ted Nugent is going to show, I`ll watch in hopes of another "YOU LIE" moment like we had a couple of years ago....

I'm curious why the Obama 'machine' would even allow Ted in the door?

They have to be planning on trying to make a fool out of him in some manner.

Just as the Bolsheviks went after the children, so do the Left-o-viks in the US. This is a clear pattern, we should be alarmed.

It’s pretty interesting, and short sighed in my opinion, that a parent would let their child be used a pawn or prop for the President.

Even if it were a cause I believed in I wouldn’t let my child be paraded out in front of a National audience…

One of a parents first responsibility is to Protect Their Children Emotionally AND Physically. Not look for 15 min.

Is everyone else out there as sick to death as I am of this Motus (muslim of the us) parading children out on stage to make a dramatic point. Sickening. It started for me with the little black boy when he signed in Obamacare...excuse me....the UNaffordable health insurance bill. Then he had those children who supposedly wrote letters about guns control...now this. Why doesn't he have that little classroom full of kids singing "Obama's gonna save us" again. I have a better idea....let's parade the kids who got "dispended" from first grade for pretending to have a gun/grenade....let's bring them out in shackles and hand cuffs...those law breaking infants! Go TED! I hope the camera shows Ted alot. I'd surely rather look at him. I hope he's sitting right where the motus can see him...bet it would make that baffoon squirm. I'm really getting tired of this hollywood drama. I saw him using the old telepromter today and he misprounced another word...or rather misread. What a fake. I'm not watching the State of the Union Address...just the responses.

Nugent will go and then Obama will insult him like he insulted the Supreme Court Justices.

I would go, then turn my back to Obama the whole time.

Is the liar-in-chief going to bring anyone who have protected themselves or saved their own lives with firearms? Oops...dumb question. Appeals to emotion is all the logical fallacy mouth machine (Obama) has.

Momin, Conservatives are the RINO's I have shown this over and over. The first Republican president killed the 10th amendment in his quest to strengthen a central federal government. Teddy was a liberal who believed in Eugenics, Eisenhower started the Health,Welfare, and Education department, further expanding the Federal government. Richard Nixon started the EPA, Bush 1 brought about the ADA further strengthening the Federal Government, Bush 2 further strengthened the Education Department with NCLB. I could go on and on about the fact that the traditional Republican being a Big government liberal. They constantly talk about cutting spending but never do it. You CANNOT take a couple of Republicans, Reagan and Goldwater, and apply that to what the Republican Party IS. We had a brief time in the Republican history that was conservative. Once you understand this, it opens your eyes why they never achieve the promises they make to those who elect them.

Ted Nugent called Barack Obama a POS and said he could suck on his machinegun....

That's why Nuge is so popular right now.......because Americans are hungry for the truth.

Just hope Nugent soberly, carefully, wisely measures his words. The media may try to embarrass conservatives by any over-the-top statements Nugent might make.

Exactly. Being 65 years clean and sober, he should stick to his patented, "Drop. Dead." line.

He should tell them they will never infringe on our rights to protect ourselves, and that the only path available to them to infringe on the Second Amendment is via our cold, dead hands.

And finish by telling them to suck on his machine gun.
