Protesters are planning an anti-Beyoncé rally outside NFL Headquarters

Beyoncé haters are ready to get in formation.

The anti-Beyhive is planning to protest the "Drunk in Love" singer outside of the NFL Headquarters in Manhattan on Feb. 16, the same day tickets for her “Formation” world tour goes on sale.

The “Run the World” artist faced criticism from politicians including former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Rep. Peter King (R-Long Island) for being “anti-police" following her halftime performance at Sunday's Super Bowl.

“Are you offended as an American that Beyonce pulled her race-baiting stunt at the Superbowl?” the event description said. “Do you agree that it was a slap in the face to law enforcement?”

That's why I'm so distrustful of DUers who only show up when firearms are the topic of discussion. It's no secret that gun-owning right-wingers from firearm forums like to come here to troll.

that I have to comb through the posts Regularly to point out posting violations which are often unchecked. And little opportunity is wasted by controller/banners to glom onto some seemingly unrelated post (hello!) so "NRA! NRA! NRA!" or "Nugent! Nugent! Nugent!" or ( insert penis talk) can be screamed. Now, how many of those posters are trolls? How many are spammers who might pass on pre-packaged "Newz" from aggregators supported by certain billionaires?

Your "distrust" works both ways.

If you believe that gun violence is directly proportional to gun ownership.

Those frauds are far more dangerous than any song sung by a lady.

Sure looks like racism to me. What other explanation is there?
