Flash: FOX News just covered Gunwalker in a piece I wasn't able to see. David and I become "other sources."

Said to be good, including Grassley and Terry family. Larry Pratt is going to be doing a panel on the Megyn Kelly babe show on FOX at 1:45 Eastern that was supposed to be about Traver nomination and now will likely focus on Gunwalker.

LATER: WOW! Larry Pratt did us proud! I'll post the video of both pieces when I can. GOA will have a Congressional Briefing Paper on Gunwalker posted on their website by this afternoon. I will post the link when I have it.

Pardon me, now, while I say a thanksgiving prayer to the Lord.

Here's the link on the first FOX piece: http://video.foxnews.com/v/4545747/are-obama-dems-encouraging-illegal-activity#/v/4550036/exclusive-family-of-murdered-border-agent-speaks-out/?playlist_id=87937

Here's the video:

And thanks to Kurt Hofmann, here's another link: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/02/22/agent-brian-terry-policy-silence/

STILL LATER: From the Hofmann link --

However, other sources say that's exactly what happened, knowingly or not. Not all agencies let ‘guns walk' in order to lead to higher-ups. Precisely for fear the guns will be used in crimes.

"Other sources," hmmm. I wonder who they could be?

tommy atkins said...: I saw the "trailer" for it just as I left for work. They played a recording of the slain agents mother saying out loud that "There is a coverup", and she wants to know what they are covering up. It is about time Faux news got moving on this. Great Job both to you and David on this. I just might get out my popcorn ....; February 22, 2011 at 12:33 PM

Anonymous said...: I saw the video and the Will LaJunesse piece. He covered it pretty well. Megan Kelly later had an NRA spokesman on to discuss why the opposition to Tarver for BATF Director. The spokesman (can't remember his name) brought up the GunWalker story as reason for the delay in the Committee hearing. Kelly shut him down and said the segment wasn't about GunWalker but about the opposition to the appointment. Good on the spokesman for bringing up Gunwalker.; February 22, 2011 at 2:02 PM
Dedicated_Dad said...: "guns walk" -- gotta love it!

It's maddening you guys get no credit, but... at least the story is being told!; February 22, 2011 at 2:46 PM
Scott J said...: If it's made FOX maybe Glenn Beck will finally pick it up.; February 22, 2011 at 3:09 PM
Uncle Al said...: I think Mike and David are "other sources" because the on-air types were leery of trying to pronounce Codrea and terrified of Vanderboegh! (-:

By the way, just how is Vanderboegh pronounced?; February 22, 2011 at 3:32 PM
Alvie D. Zane said...: Are all of you leaving a comment on the FoxNews story that links back to the Journalist's Guide?

You should.

That story has 435 comments that by default scroll from the most recent on down.

If this thing is going to get bigger, it needs help. Help it.; February 22, 2011 at 4:17 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
