In one instance, Moore received over 500 total downvotes by responding to the question "If mayors, celebrities, text can have armed security...why can't I have a gun to protect myself and my family? Am I not just as important?" thusly:In other words, yeah, you're not as important.
It's because those people get a hundred death threats every week. How many did you get this week? Usually my answer to a Rightie spewing hate and fear and who wants to know why i have security, I answer them by saying you've already answered your own question. [More]
The death threats claim is overblown as well -- in numbers and in interpretation of hostile statements expressing wishes vs. actual credible pledges of intended harm.

Been watching "Downton Abbey" lately, and I am disgusted by the fawning and deference paid in the 1920s England to people merely because they are of a particular bloodline, and their unquestioning insistence on it. We're getting it here too, obviously, more and more. Unquestioning submission and obedience. Khruschev is smiling in Hell.
