“What would Django do?”
The group is called Political Media, and it’s the same entity that was behind Saturday’s controversial Gun Appreciation Day, which encouraged Americans to show up at various places with a copy of the U.S. Constitution and signs reading, “Hands off my guns.” Larry Ward, president of Political Media, a company that designs websites and organizes ad campaigns for right-of-center organizations, said hundreds of thousands of people participated in Gun Appreciation Day, crowding gun stores and gun shows and demonstrating at various state capitals nationwide.
He’s hoping for similar success with his follow-up effort, dubbed “What Would Django Do?” Ward plans not only a campaign but a nonprofit organization that would bear the name, though he acknowledges he hasn’t sought permission from Tarantino or from The Weinstein Co., the studio behind Django Unchained.
“We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it,” Ward said. “We’ll make sure we aren’t violating copyrights, and if we are, we’ll have to change the name. But Django is perfect for what we’re trying to do, which is to promote gun rights to minorities. We’ll tackle the issue on the Democrats’ own turf.”

“What would Django do?”
Murder every single white person he came across?
I don’t think this is a good message to send, just sayin’.

So killing more white people than already die at the hands of armed minorities is a good thing?
Got it.
Dack Thrombosis on January 23, 2013 at 4:35 PM
See the movie first. Just Sayin’.

Bad idea.

Why on earth would I see a movie like that?
Rebar on January 23, 2013 at 4:45 PM
So you will actually know what you are talking about when you try to reference it. It’s not a “kill whitey” movie.

He’s probably relying on the description given by…the actor playing the main character.

Meh. I’ll wait for Django versus the Bear Jew: The Brawl in the Hall!
Seth Halpern on January 23, 2013 at 5:31 PM
Yes, on SNL, and that would be the wrong description.

More importantly, what would Brian Boitano do?

The whites he kills in the movie are plantation owners and slavers who feed running slaves to dogs, alive.
Now you might not consider those crimes worthy of death and after yesterday’s thread on Michelle Obama I wouldn’t be so surprised by such positions in Hotair comments.

@lester: So he only kills Democrats. Lots and lots of Democrats.
Seth Halpern on January 23, 2013 at 6:01 PM
So, I haven’t seen the movie, but from the previews it sure looks like he and one of those “white people” are working together to take down a villain.

Django…
I would love to see a Liberal say, “You know, the Democrats have cme a long way. We now make movies like Django instead of Birth of a Nation.”
