Chicago Mayor Regrets "Up Your Butt" Comment Richard Daley, Wielding Gun, Told Reporter "If I Put This Up Your Butt, You'll Find Out How Effective It Is"
(CBS 2 Chicago) Mayor Richard M. Daley said Friday that he regrets his choice of words when he suggested he'd stick a rifle with a bayonet up a reporter's "butt," but he said he was trying to "shock" the media into exposing gun manufacturers who flood the streets with firearms.
"I want to shock you, maybe scare you, to realize this is serious," he said.
Asked if he was sorry for how he went about illustrating his point, Daley said, "Sure I'll be sorry... I'm not going to sing the song 'I'm Sorry' now, but sure, you can write it. But I hope I shocked you that you can write about now the gun manufacturers."
The mayor said the focus should not be on his remarks, but about the impact of gun violence in urban America.

What a dick.
a DemocRat in high standing.. wishing he had butted out of this latest ‘misspeak’.
Guns are already outlawed in Chicago. Thus, there is no gun violence in Chicago.
Flooding streets with your product is a pretty poor business model. Much as I would love to scoop up an armload of firearms right off the sidewalk.
I would expect nothing else from a man who has his head in his ass most of the time.
That is correct. Chicago is a gun free zone.
Quote sounds like something Barny Frank, Larry Sinclair, or Obama would say.
Gun manufacturers don’t ‘flood the streets with guns’. This guy couldn’t tell the truth if you put a gun with a bayonet up his....
"take away the guns but bring in a train load of railroad ties so they can beat each other to death with them at school...."
Wonder if a lawyer told Daley that his comments could be construed as a threat?
Richard Daly has a gun?? I’m hopeful this rediculous tactic works in reverse.
Unless you're an Alderman.
This looks like an illegal threat with a deadly weapon.
The law needs to be applied to the full extent.
Unless there are two sets of laws in America, one for Politically powerful Democrats, and one for the rest of us...
Well, if he thinks gun control works he should move to Mexico
LLS
if he was trying to shock the media maybe he should try telling the truth for once. I don’t think foul language would raise an eyebrow in Rahm Emanuel’s home city
Typical leftist media style. I have it down correctly, don't I? Does that qualify me for a job as a reporter, or does this knowledge of their tactics label me as "racist", "mean-spirited", and "dangerous"?
Well then...if he regrets it, no harm, no foul. All is forgiven and let’s just move on.
So to get the reporters to pay attention to the violent nature of people on the street the mayor threatens to commit a violent act. Nothing to see here, just another democrat proving the mathematical formula...democrat=hypocrite.
