Under-the-Radar Fearmongering
I'm at a relative's house in a purple state and I received a robocall from Wayne LaPierre of the NRA warning me that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were "teaming up" with Cuba and Iran to pass an international treaty that would take away the guns of Americans. It turns out that LaPierre was referring to
the Arms Trade Treaty which has nothing to do with Americans' right to bear arms.
These kinds of robocalls, along with
spam emails, and talk radio are the reasons that half the GOP is batshit crazy (about half of Republicans surveyed believe
that Obama was foreign-born and that
ACORN stole the 2008 election for him).
