This is the game that's being played in these comments. In the OP article start with the Oldest comment "Well Said" and then read the barrage of ridicule that follows. The following article argues conservatives need to be (unfortunately IMO but I agree) using the same tactics. Does the NRA have the equivalent? Not that I'm aware of.

4A) Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. Conservatives have a tendency to try to win every debate with logic and recitations of facts which, all too often, fail to get the job done because emotions and mockery are often just as effective as reason. The good news is that liberals almost never have logic on their side; so they're incapable of rationally making the case for their policies while conservatives can become considerably more effective debaters by simply adding some emotion-based arguments and sheer scorn to their discourse. This has certainly worked on Twitter, where conservatives keep making the Obama campaign look like buffoons by taking over its hashtags.

and btw I first noticed this when O first ran for office. If there is someone talking sense, on any topic they oppose, and who can backup their argment with facts the organization members posting comments will gang up on the individual.
