Obama’s Surgeon General Nominee Says He Adopted His Anti-Second Amendment Views After Watching Sunday Morning Cartoons
Apparently watching Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam shoot it out was just too much for him to handle.
Via Daily Mail:
President Barack Obama’s nominee to serve as the U.S. surgeon general, a 36-year-old physician who has attracted criticism for his anti-gun advocacy, complained to a newspaper in 1994 that ‘society’s preoccupation with firearms’ comes from ‘fiery gun battles’ on Saturday morning cartoons.
Dr. Vivek Murthy, who founded Doctors for Obama in 2008 – a group that later changed its name to ‘Doctors for America – was a graduating high school senior at the time, one of several valedictorians the Miami Herald interviewed.
‘Vivek Murthy, 16, of Palmetto High, takes television cartoons to task’ for ‘the growing problem of kids and violence,’ according to the Herald.
‘Today, a typical elementary student wakes up on Saturday mornings to fiery gun battles, explosive scenes of terror and the violent decimation of the “bad guy” – all this in a children’s cartoon,’ Murthy said then.
‘With such destructive influence, society’s preoccupation with firearms and brutal methods of conflict resolution is no surprise.’

Dr. Murthy wake up! You're in a dream world. You saw those cartoons evidently, are you going bat shit and killing people because of it. No, people kill because they have evil desire and they succumb to temptation. Nothing is changing because Mommy set you in front of the TV so she could enjoy Saturday morning in bed.
When you learn what builds real values then return to us with your solutions.
Until then take your idealistic New World Order enthusiasm and stick it beside your head [which is up your...]

I absolutely LOVE this nominee that Zero threw up in his arrogance. We got a radical British born Indian dragging up the gun grabbing issue during an election year. The issue is the kiss of death to the Left. If they couldn't get anyone to side with them after Sandy Hook, it ain't going to happen in this lifetime. I'm sure all the Rat candidates running will be excited to deal with guns AND Zerocare all at the same time.
So the nominee for Surgeon General, 'America's Doctor', is a leftist who by the age of 16 was unable to distinguish between make-believe and reality. Sound about par for the course.
