Oddly enough the brother of Seaman Cheron Gunn, killed on the USS Cole is recently elected South Carolina Democrat Anton Gunn who is far to the left of Barak Obama.
Recently elected to the SC State House, Gunn was a senior campaign manager of Obama’s campaign and got his start in politics as a leftist.....(drum roll)....community organizer!!!!
