do I have this right that it is CNN again pushing the obama line .

Paul Begala at CNN and George Clintonopoulos at ABC are both on Rahm Emanuel's speed dial -- and vice versa. Ditto James Carville.

Someone who FOIA'd their phone records found these guys are running a back-channel political-disinformation network out of the White House. Hundreds of calls a day, extremely close co-ordination of their "story".

Plus, they're pushing the Big Lie technique re conservative voters and commenters, and also about guns in Mexico, about 1/6th of which come from the U.S., the rest from the international black market or Mexican government armories.

Josef Goebbels is alive and well in the Obama White House.

Is there anything this clown is willing to defend the US on? More proof he was born elsewhere. Michelle may be proud of the US now, but here husband apparently is not. ;-)

Maybe the white half of Zero is showing its racism towards Mexicans... as though they’re too damned stupid to buy full auto AK-47’s from the source at wholesale by the boatload, as opposed to buying them in the U.S. through the red tape, background checking, cross-border transport difficulties, and insane markup, as he proclaims. And even at that, they’re semi’s. What a steaming load.

Zero has no credibility at this point. Now I just assume everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie.

We will keep our guns and money while you keep your crappy drugs. Sounds like a fair deal to me, anyone think Calderone will accept the deal?

Obama is a demon thinly disguised in the robes of charisma.

He is the "good man." The jester who presages times of war and great suffering.

America will be unsafe and in great danger until he is sent packing.

“If some guns do come from the USA, aren’t they being sent to Mexico by the same illegal aliens that Sheriff Arpaio gets yell at for arresting?”

One would think.

Where did Fox get that 17% figure from? The chief of the ATF said last year that 90% to 95% of firearms in Mexico came from the US.
The chief of the ATF, Michael Sullivan, said last year that "investigators have traced 90 to 95% of the weapons found in Mexico to the U.S. Generally, only law-enforcement officers or military personnel can legally possess guns in Mexico."

“What’s true, an ATF spokeswoman told FOXNews.com, in a clarification of the statistic used by her own agency’s assistant director, “is that over 90 percent of the traced firearms originate from the U.S.”

But a large percentage of the guns recovered in Mexico do not get sent back to the U.S. for tracing, because it is obvious from their markings that they do not come from the U.S.”

Eradicate guns. Eradicate religion. Eradicate families. Eradicate private property. Eradicate political opposition.

Is there a trend here?
