NBC, CBS Tout NY Daily News Attacking Prayer After Shooting
Newsbusters ^ | 12-3-15 | Kyle Drennan

On Thursday, both CBS This Morning and NBC's Today eagerly promoted the New York Daily News attacking Republicans for sending "thoughts and prayers" to victims of the San Bernardino shooting but not signing on to liberal gun control measures. This Morning co-host Gayle King declared: "I think this headline's very powerful."

She then touted Democratic Senator Chris Murphy blasting his pro-gun colleagues: "Chris Murphy from Connecticut says, 'Your thoughts should be about steps to take to stop this carnage. Your prayers should be about forgiveness if you do nothing again.'"

“Your prayers should be about forgiveness if you do nothing again.”

Not even sure I what that is supposed to mean.

Prayer is ONLY acceptable when Democrats do it in an effort to appear Pious, usually when they are doing something evil.

When the attacks get closer to them, they’ll be praying like saints.

It means that we should be ashamed of ourselves because we respect the U. S. Constitution, and if we oppose taking every gun away from gun owners, we’re as guilty as the people who carry out mass murder.

Don’t blame me. It’s what Leftists believe.

Never mind that these Leftists contributed to none of the dead people being able to defend themselves.

{”Your prayers should be about forgiveness if you do nothing again.”}

One is eager to take prayer advice from atheist/communist/democrats, but first figure out what this means.

Guns don’t kill people, muslims do.

And what are these leftists gonna do, when a Muslim tries to send them to Allah?

1. call someone WITH A GUN;
2. PRAY they get there in time.

God hears and answers prayers.

Perhaps it does not work for leftists because they either don’t pray, or they are praying to their murder (abortion), theft (socialism), and perversion (homosexuality) -loving deity instead of the God of the Bible.

Dear “thoughts and prayers” people: Please shut up and slink away. You are the problem, and everyone knows it.
