As a result of that affliction, the second-oldest, Elisa, now 32, is mentally challenged, and has other physical challenges.

Memories Of The Third Reich
Liberal journalists caught in a live Twitter attack during NRA press conference: they enable, protect, and advance the progressive-run state from within the protection of their own shadow government.
Cartoons by Michael Ramirez Read the Smartphone Twitter comments below captured live at the NRA "press" conference. I have been saying for years that too many in the media no longer live with us but only among us as spies and despots. Now you know what you suspected all along, hearing references to a corrupt media but unable to prove the collaboration.
It's now obvious it is no accident that news stories / opinion pieces coming out of the liberal media, from Gotham's TV News Networks to New York Times, PBS, AOL/Huffington Post, CNN, and others have been created as if from the same movie script, continually stupaking us with their shared talking points for distribution across the nation on behalf of the progressive Democrat Party.
It is why independent thought and investigations, such as those into the deaths of American SEALS in Benghazi, FEMA's poor handling in the wreckage of Hurricane Sandy, and gun running by Obama's Justice Department into Mexico, were DOA coming onto your television screens or in the print of your newspapers, wagons surrounding the Obama administration during the election.
You're right to know has become laughable, the Fourth Estate a memory. You've become cattle at the trough, made ready to stampede when needed during elections or the pushing of liberal legislation in Washington, D.C. If you insist on continuing to gather information from this spider web of deranged sources to discover what is going on around you, calling it useful, I have a simple warning of what you've become to the progressive media: Ground-up hamburger.

As Jeffrey Goldberg, a national correspondent for The Atlantic, put it:
Jeffrey Goldberg @JeffreyGoldberg
Reporters on my Twitter feed seem to hate the NRA more than anything else, ever.
Here are some of the views expressed by reporters and editors — from news outlets including Talking Points Memo, Politico, The New York Times and The Huffington Post – on Twitter during LaPierre’s speech: - Daily Caller
LaPierre as delusional as any dictator. His speech against music videos, hurricanes has the feel of a Castro rant or Mugabe tirade.
In Wayne LaPierre's defense, tone-deafness is a serious condition that afflicts hundreds of thousands of Americans.
Wayne LaPierre should have just given this speech to an empty chair on a stage
No two ways about: This is gross, awful, dishonest.
What is this NRA guy talking about? Blame hurricanes. Blame media. It's so strange.
This is nuts.
Jonathan Weisman@jonathanweisman
If it wasn't for all the dead children, the NRA press conference might have been amusing.
Stallone movie meets Fidel Castro speech
It's amazing how much damage LaPierre is doing to the NRA without even allowing questions.
Reporters should walk out of this press conference right now, if he's not taking questions. Otherwise, its just a propaganda event.
