It is a complete condemnation without any sympathy for the opposing point of view. It will usually be used by supporters of the point of view in the attack, who may stand up and give the speaker long applause. Opponents might call it bigoted. US Quote: "In Mr. Heston, the N.R.A. found its embodiment of pioneer values -- pride, independence and valor. In a speech at the N.R.A.'s annual convention in 2000, he brought the audience to its feet with a ringing attack on gun-control advocates. Paraphrasing an N.R.A. bumper sticker ("I'll give you my gun when you take it from my cold, dead hands") he waved a replica of a colonial musket above his head and shouted defiantly, "From my cold, dead hands!"
