Victim Worship

[joab]

Well, Joab - you are flat out wrong. Taking that act of civil disobedience was far more courageous than most of the chest pounding 2nd Amend. posturing we see on gun lists. When has there been a national movement sparked by a similar gun 'hero'.

No I'm not wrong, it is my opinion not a statement of fact.
And where have I ever called anybody in the 2A movement a hero?
Or made any comparison to anybody in the forefront of the 2A movement to Rosa Parks.

Given the reaction of some in the South to the Civil Rights movements - beating, bombs, killings, etc. - to take that first step was heroic.

So would you agree that the Vietnam War protesters who risked being beaten by cops and conservatives were just as "heroic" as Parks?
They didn't have NAACP lawyers and photographers waiting at the jail house to protect their lives and rights.

I would suggest that you reread my post no where did I say that her contributions were not worthy of praise only that they do not IMHO rise to the level of heroics
