Debunking Fat Stupid White Leftists - And Their Enablers

I was hunting around for some pro-gun propaganda on Amazon today, and read a comment written by a viewer of the Larry Elder film, "Michael and Me,"  which made me laugh...

"Michael and Me" is Moore-esque satirical documentary on The Fat Stupid White Leftist himself - it documents Elder's attempts at getting Michael Moore to speak with him about the lies and manipulations he portrayed as "documentary subject  matter" in "Bowling for Columbine." Cleverly, Moore's 1989 hit, "Roger and Me" was the style-target of Elder's film.

Reviewer Eric Pautsch was unwise enough to let these words be forever recorded on the World Wide Web:

Very Boring!!, October 13, 2005

Reviewer:   Eric Pautsch - See all my reviews

The title attacks Michael Moore (Whom I believe is a bad film maker as well) But [sic] does a poor job of why he thinks Michale [sic] is wrong. Incredibly boring - same old rhetoric about how guns don't kill people, people kill people - blah, blah, blah.

Is [sic] one pathetic attempt to discredit Moore, Elder shows a clip of Moore stating how guns kill an untold number of children in this country...then show [sic] a stupid statistic stating that more 10 year olds die from bathtub accidents then gunfire. Hello? Larry...increase that age by another 10 years and see how many of our children are killed by gunfire.

Really bad [sic]

"Third-Grade-Math to Eric Pautsch... Third-Grade-Math to Eric Pautsch... Come in, Eric Pautsch!" Last time I checked, Big Guy, 10 + 10 equals 20. A 20 year old IS NOT A CHILD. Your writing skills also reflect a liberal, public-school education, with all of the attendant logical mishaps and grammatical errors that are never routed out and destroyed by Socialist teachers, for fear of destroying the all-important self-worth of the student. Since the causal factor of the overwhelming majority of deaths for Black Males under the age of 25 is gang-related gun violence, are you counting in all those 21-year-olds and those 24-year-olds?

Anti-gun leftists are quite fond of lumping in various adult males into their childhood death equations so that they can "pump up the numbers." Never mind that criminality carries with it an "enhanced risk" (as my State Farm agent would put it) "of pre-retirement demise," a 15 year old inner-city gang-banger is often considered by courts to be the equivalent of an adult when he commits vicious crimes against society. The fact is, if you take out the somewhat older "children" (18 - 24 y.o) in the statistics, the childhood death rate by guns plummets dramatically. This study from the .gov shows that all types of childhood deaths are in decline - likewise, you will note that the studies STOP at age 14. There's a reason why - 15 year-olds are "old enough" to perform adult things, like making babies and killing/being killed. The study reports that in the ages of 5-14, the leading cause of death is Unintentional Injuries, followed by Cancer and Birth Defects. Homicide (which lumps firearms-related homicides with non-firearm-related homicides) is a measly FOURTH, beating Heart Disease (in a kid?) and Pneumonia/influenza.

So lighten up, Eric. I'm sure you were pushed in this ever-faster, instant-on society to grow up before your time. Please don't claim that a 22 year-old is powerless to prevent his murder via gunfire by choosing a different lifestyle.

I am not a gun owner, and have always been wary of them. However, I understand the importance of the Second Amendment. While I think the NRA goes too far on many issues, it is important that the integrity of the Second Amendment is preserved; thus protecting the integrity of all other amendments. It is a fine line.

*I misspoke in my earlier comment:

Where I said "I am not a gun owner, and have always been wary of them," I meant I have always been wary of guns, not gun owners. Sorry for the confusion.

I like your original idea far better. A gun is an inanimate object that can kill you if mishandled, or is perfectly safe if you are mindful of how you use the tool.

People, on the other hand, should engender feelings of distrust in you, because they are capable of using their irrational minds to effecutate harm on others.

Ok underwhelmed....you got me pegged. I admit.. I'm a victim of the socialist school system..blah..blah..blah.

Give me a break! :) ..Jeez

You were able to determine why I wrote the review...wern't you?

It's very boring...he produces a documentary around Micheal Moore...but there is no Micheal Moore in the film...what the heck?

Im a libertarian/independent myself and agree with much of what he talks about but for the love of God...you got to admit ...to throw out a stat. like that after cornering MM in a hotel lobby??

Sure a 15-20 year old knows right from wrong but that wasn't my point...again, you see what you want to see.
