60 mins doing a report about the booming gun business

[car15]

Tonite a 7 p.m. on CBS.
I wonder how its going to go.

[Some Guy]

Dianne Freinkenstein is supposed to weigh in.
I dont wonder how its going to go.
But its like a trainwreck, I just gotta watch.

[Can'thavenuthingood]

Its all negative of course with some scary innuendo tossed in for good measure. For those who still don't get it there will be gory pictures to enhance the audiences lack of imagination.

Like the 20/20 story Friday night it won't be good.

Our illustrious Senator no doubt will foam at the mouth while speaking of the incredible power of the NRA and its minions.

Don't know yet if I'll watch it as it just stresses me out. But like Some Guy says, its like watching a train wreck.

How we going to refute the arguments if we don't watch it?

60 mins doing a report propaganda hit-piece about the booming gun business

Fixed that title for ya.

This report will reinforce the claim that "90%" of the "assault weapons" come from the U.S. and that we are the leading supplier of the weapons being used [despite acknowledgement that grenades, mortars and RPG's are coming in from Guatemala]. The report will try to boost support to renew the AWB.

Look for the Columbia B.S. network to play fast and loose with the facts.

Watch for them to set up Mexican officials to easily claim that all the drug problems are the fault of the U.S. with it's demand for drugs financing the cartels who can then afford to outgun the police... [with nary a mention of the corruption in Mexico's Federales or the government].

Watch for specific claims that "since the AWB expired, (tens of) thousands more of these guns have turned up in Mexico" and then compare to the manufacturing rates in the U.S.

And of course the Administration supports our guns rights... just not our right to own scary-looking military-style weapons.

The tele dribble also known as 60 minutes is nothing more than a tabloid rag for the idiot box. I expect nothing less from such a craptastic infomercial "news" outlet. PS. Rooney, trim those brows already!

Do you think that about everything on the show? Today they were talking about technology to allow people missing their arms and legs to get computerized prosthetics. I don't know if I'd agree that's tabloid rag or infomercialish...

"The NRA has a stranglehold on Congress"

Nice.

Feinstein makes me want to puke.

[Maltese Falcon]

She says: "I will pick the time and place for the AWB"

We will be there with $$ (Lots), Votes and Letters to Legislators.
Do not allow this person to control the process....

Part of the way through I developed ADD and decided to do something else... i.e., finish my homework. It really was that bad. In fact, it had all of the hallmarks of an "anti-" spin piece:
-Frequent use of the term "assault weapon".
-References to the "problem" of guns going to Mexico.
-Interviewing proponents of the AWB (and no real opponents to speak of).
-Mentioning that the AWB was "allowed" to expire under Bush.
-More rigorous (read: slanted) questioning of a pro-2A interviewee than all of the antis.
-...the fact that there was only one pro- and many anti- interviewees.
-Gun violence victims.
-The gun show "loophole".

Can we seriously make an official Calguns "documentary drinking game" or style of bingo that has all of these traits as game events?

is it on utube yet?

sECULAR pROGRESSIVE Twaddle ...

Feinstein makes me want to puke.
