Bob Schieffer Likens Obama
´Taking on the Gun Lobby´
to Hunt for Bin Laden,
´Defeating the Nazis´

Bob Schieffer somehow topped Chris Matthews during CBS News´s special coverage of President Obama´s gun control press conference on Wednesday, as he became the worst caricature of a foaming-at-the-mouth cheerleader for the chief executive. Schieffer lauded "one of the best speeches I´ve ever heard him [Obama] deliver", and compared Obama´s new gun control agenda to Lyndon Johnson´s push for civil rights legislation in the 1960s. The CBS veteran even went so far to liken the President´s cause to the ten-year hunt for 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden and the difficult endeavor of winning World War II:

May I suggest letting CBS News hear a response to this outrage?

# 1 -- it appears that rather than "Brown Nose"... Bob Schieffer of CBS seems to be angling for a "Brown Shirt."

Comparing the "gun lobby" (aka supporters of the 2nd amendment of our United States Constituion) to the Nazis ...is to accuse the 2nd amendment people of what Schieffer and his ilk believe in.

Dear Sirs:

Do you pay any attention at all to what your newscasters say on live TV?

Bob Shieffer just claimed that fight the "gun lobby" is like fighting the Nazis:

"Surely, finding Osama bin Laden; surely, passing civil rights legislation, as Lyndon Johnson was able to do; and before that, surely, defeating the Nazis, was a much more formidable task than taking on the gun lobby."

Who in the hell do you think the "gun lobby" is? The "gun lobby" is 80 million or more United States citizens.

If you knew history at all, you would know that it was the Nazis who started by disarming their people.

What hypocrisy: Bob Schieffer apparently has never bothered to investigate 0bama/Holder´s tragic Fast & Furious policy which enabled Mexico´s barbaric drug gangs to obtain guns from USA dealers and use them in numerous murders?

The Mexican drug barbarians use those guns to kill their own peole and American citizens, including BP Agent Brian Terry. How can Schieffer and the entire lsm continue to ignore 0bama/Big Sis/Holder´s disasterous Fast & Furious policy. Many of those guns are still out there?!!!

...And this same enabling Administration is now targeting law abiding American citizens and the Constitution itself?!! What sense does this make, Schieffer?!

"Surely, finding Osama bin Laden; surely, passing civil rights legislation, as Lyndon Johnson was able to do; and before that, surely, defeating the Nazis, was a much more formidable task than taking on the gun lobby."

Do you mind!

Honestly, how much more will CBS blacken the American public´s figurative eye? How dare you put law-abiding Americans who cherish their Second Amendment rights in the same locus as Nazis!

Shame on you, CBS and shame on Bob Schieffer for his hyper-active, bombastic drivel!

Everything the left does nowadays is constant false propaganda, slander or libel, ridicule, name-calling, and comparing/associating us with tyrants (whom they actually resemble). Leftists are pure EVIL. If this commentary doesn´t prove how evil they are, nothing can.

I said "Robert Schieffer´s remarks likening gun-control to defeating the Nazis was completely off-base. He needs to temper his opinions or get off the air."

Colorado sheriffs suing
over gun control measures
Associated Press, by Staff    Original Article
Posted By: BaseballFan- 5/16/2013 8:13:20 PM     Post Reply
DENVER - A group of Colorado sheriffs unhappy with recent gun control laws are planning to file a lawsuit to block them. The sheriffs have called a Friday morning news conference to detail their federal challenge. The lawmen said they would challenge two new laws, one limiting the size of ammunition magazines and another law to expand gun background checks. The laws were passed earlier this year in response to mass shootings in Aurora and at a school in Connecticut. Not all sheriffs opposed the bills, but some were frequent visitors to the state Capitol in an effort to prevent the gun controls.

Gun control backers:

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and his gun control allies say Senate rejection of expanded background checks and other restrictions won´t stop their drive to reduce firearms violence. But their path to enacting gun curbs this year seems blocked by the National Rifle Association, and supporters of restrictions appear befuddled about what it will take to push legislation through this Congress. The Senate planned to vote Thursday on two more amendments to a gun control bill. One by Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., would cut aid to state and local governments that release information on gun owners.

William Strickland waited for his grandfather to step out of his South Side home to take his paratransit ride to a kidney dialysis appointment early March 2, authorities said Saturday — then stood behind the 72-year-old man, shot him six times in the back and stole his wallet, leaving him to die just steps from his home. Prosecutors said Saturday that Strickland, 19, used the money he took from his grandfather, who also was named William Strickland, to pay for new gym shoes, a cellphone and tattoos. The teen had no criminal history but was an admitted gang member, they said.

The Second Amendment´s guarantee of a right to bear arms does not extend to the right to carry a concealed weapon in public, a federal appeals court in Denver has ruled. "We conclude that the carrying of concealed firearms is not protected by the Second Amendment . . ." Justice Carlos Lucero wrote on behalf of a three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Lucero cited case law dating to the 1800s that put restrictions on walking around in public with a gun. "In light of our nation's extensive practice of restricting citizens' freedom to carry firearms in a concealed manner,

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

Watergate 2.0 -- why the

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

The lawmaker leading the charge to investigate the Benghazi terror attack on Friday subpoenaed the co-author of a report that slammed the State Department but didn´t interview Hillary Clinton. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) formally demanded that retired ambassador Thomas Pickering submit to being deposed by the committee next Thursday. The subpoena comes in the wake of a series of acrimonious public exchanges this week between the two men. Issa didn´t issue a subpoena to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, who co-authored the Benghazi report with Pickering.

A healthcare provider has sued the Internal Revenue Service and 15 of its agents, charging they wrongfully seized 60 million medical records from 10 million Americans. The name of the provider is not yet known, United Press International said. But Courthouse News Service said the suit claims the agency violated the Fourth Amendment in 2011, when agents executed a search warrant for financial data on one employee – and that led to the seizure of information on 10 million, including state judges. The search warrant did not specify that the IRS could take medical information, UPI said.
