Firing Back: Politicians and Guns – Does the Liberal Media Get it?
Apparently the liberal media will always find a way to get upset about guns, even when there isn’t much of a story. The most recent example is how gossip site TMZ reported that Levi Johnston – father of Sarah Palin’s grandson – stopped in a gun shop while on the campaign trail. Not much of a story there, especially given that this stop took place in Alaska! That in turn was picked up by liberal rag the Huffington Post. Each offered snide comments on the issue – and TMZ even Photoshopped (badly) a rifle on a photo of Johnston. Our “friends” at the Huff and Puff have noted how guns (gasp!) have turned up at various political rallies, as if it somehow indicative of a plot to overthrow the government – instead of merely being an expression of the state’s understanding of the Second Amendment.
All this begs the question, does the liberal media not get it? Read more
Reality TV “Star” Not Allowed Guns?
Jon Gosselin of TV’s “Jon and Kate Plus Eight” reality TV show was ordered that he can’t have any firearms at his house in Berks County, Pennsylvania. This was picked up by various outlets, including the gossip Web site TMZ. One response even suggested “That is dangerous to have guns in the house with 8 kids.” First, we think that Gosselin doesn’t live with his kids – and while we wish we never heard of Jon Gosselin, it has been non-stop news all year! But what is more upsetting are some of the facts according to the Fox 411 Blog at FoxNews.com:
“Gosselin has also been ordered to register the pistol at a new address within 90 days.”
OK, we’re not sure if shooting at targets is allowed on private property in Berks County, but if Gosselin did not break the law why does he have to remove his firearms? Well, he is a cheating spouse and seeks the limelight non-stop, but those aren’t crimes. Has this judge overstepped his/her bounds?
