Charles Krauthammer ’s Obama Comment Shocks Fox Panel Into Silence
Freedom Outpost ^ | Apr. 6, 2013 | Tim Brown

Posted on 04/06/2013 11:47:52 AM PDT by EXCH54FE

Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer brought momentarily silence, and not the kind that is out of respect, to a Fox News panel on “Special Report” after National Review columnist Jonah Goldberg said that Obama will not get a vote on the majority of new gun control legislation that he wants. “All he wants now is the money,” Krauthammer responded.

Several seconds of silence followed Krauthammer’s, “all he wants now is the money” comment. It was as if everyone at the table had been caught off guard, including host Chris Wallace.

Wallace finally recovered stating, “You don’t really mean that.”

“He’s lost on gun control,” Krauthammer responded.

When opposed by stating that he would get expanded background checks, Krauthammer indicated that it is “not going to make any difference.” He also went on to state that background checks were the “last item standing, the smallest item standing.” He said it’s the only one that Obama could possibly get, which I point out would be a huge blow to gun owners and the Second Amendment. Remember, Gun Owners of America and the National Rifle Association openly oppose expansion of background checks. However, as I wrote about here, West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin and the NRA have been engaged in private talks on a proposal to broaden background checks on purchasers of firearms.

yes this is always the tactic, they try to make a big win, a small win beforehand, so it gives rinos something to cave in on, and tries to fool everyone else about ow bad the compromise was.

The gun background check will have a voter background/ID rider.

“The big miracle for Obama is how his democratic base manages to remain so ignore of their dear leaders behavioral. You would think they would be upset with him for turning down his own proposals when offered.”

Obama’s base is clueless for two reasons:
1. They get their news from the MSM
2. They’ve been educated by enemies of the United States

Bingo. Organizing for America. Obama turned his campaign apparatus into a non-profit.

I hope someone is keeping an eye on it.

If UBC is enacted, every law-abiding citizen will have to get the governments OK before he can buy a firearm. (Why in Hell isn’t this point pushed?) Only the criminals will be able to do gun transfers when the computers go down “for maintenance” or “public safety” during a declared emergency - that’s the REAL hook.

they were stunned that someone on the panel actually made a truthful... an actually truthful.. statement.

people don’t understand that these people are all about the money

and Charles let it out of the bag

prolly dangerous for him to do it.

my respect for Mr. Krauthammer just went up a bit

Background checks are just a door to be opened later. What specifically are these “background” checks? What do they “check”? What are any listed reasons for using a background check to refuse a 2A right? Whatever they are, the libs will start adding all kinds of “reasons to reject” once they get it into law.

He also went on to state that background checks were the “last item standing, the smallest item standing.”

I don't call universal registration of gun owners a small item. I call it getting what they were really after in the first place: a prelude to confiscation.
