Last Saturday's Protest at Chuck's Gun Shop on Fox News Channel Tonight at 8:00 CDT

 

This is a quick note to our members and other readers:

 

If you've been following the fallout from Jesse Jackson's protest at Chuck's Gun Shop last Saturday, especially Father Michael Pfleger's inflammatory threats leveled at John Riggio and pro-gun legislators, then you might want to tune into the Hannity & Colmes show tonight on the Fox News Channel.

 

This show is transmitted via cable, satellite, certain broadcast affiliate TV and radio stations at 8:00 pm CDT. If you don't have the Fox News Channel, or don't have a TV, you might be able to listen to a live webcast at www.foxnews.com.

That was well covered. I don't see how they can argue that he used "snuff" as expose when he clearly says "we will find you and snuff you out." It is a stretch to read that as "we will find you and expose you out."

 

I really wish they would have commented more on the poor reporting of the event given all the media reps there, but I suppose they can't embarrass their fox affiliate that was there and did not report it.

Thanks for the report--I don't watch enough TV to bother with cable (even though I have cable internet), so I didn't see it.

Posted this in the Back Room before I saw this post. It may sound like a crazy idea but I still think it's worth a try.

 

In addition to his alleged rhetorical fumble, I'm almost more interested to see if anyone in authority is going to have issue with his tax-exempt status. He's been flaunting his political and legislative involvement for years.

 

As an aside, I consider myself to be reasonably well-educated, and I've never before heard the word "snuff" used to mean "expose".

 

 

 

I'm kind of curious about that myself but on another note I think we caught a little break with this. I just watched part of a segment on Hannity and Colmes on Fox news on the Rev. Jackson and Plleger's demonstration. They had a guy on who said he was a lawyer representing Mr. Riggio and he made some rather interesting points regarding a plan of action. I think it might be a good idea to let Mr. Hannity know by way of his website how the gun owners here in Illinois feel. I checked the site and the contact us link and the forums link look promising for getting our views out. Maybe if he gets enough email on the subject and the crap going on here we could get a little bit of media exposure. I plan to use their "fair and balanced" advertising in a polite request that they give IllinoisCarry and the other sites a chance to present our side of the CCW issue as well as the good rev's obvious violations of Federal laws. I know it's a long shot but it's a heck of a lot better chance than we'll ever get from the media in Illinois, especially Crook Co and I think a couple of hundred well reasoned emails might be enough to get someone's attention.

Great minds think alike! I fired off an email to H&C already.

Mr. Hannity,

I greatly enjoyed your coverage of Rev. Pfleger's death threat against John Riggio.

 

I was at that event as a counter-protester and when I heard that I was shocked and

outraged.

 

But that was nothing compared to how upset I was at the complete lack of reporting of it

in the Chicago media.

 

I know you probably didn't want to take them to task given one of them was a Fox

affiliate, but this is the kind of one-sided news reporting that I have only recently

become attuned to since I began my political involvement in our right to keep and bear

arms in Illinois.

 

Maybe I am old-fashioned, but I expect a certain level of even-handedness from news

outlets---shows like 9 o'clock news, etc. as opposed to what you find in the more opinion

oriented shows.

 

If it hadn't been for several gun rights advocates such as Alan Gottlieb at the Second

Amendment Foundation, the Illinois State Rifle Association, and bloggers, this would

never have been brought to light.

 

I thank you for giving this story national exposure.

 

Thanks,

[c-rock]
