    Michael Moore have anything to do with this? It's a page ripped right from Bowling for Columbine.

    Theoretically yes. Providing state agencies (such as MSP's failure to enter the MoCo shooters information correctly) do their job properly, yes if a felon attempts to purchase a firearm with their legitimitate gov't issued ID then they will be disapproved.

    Terrorists I'm not so sure as the Terror Watch List is a secret list and it's currently unknown if its information is entered into NICS.

    They aren't Terrorists if they're only on a watch list. They're just being watched. Would DoJ label anybody a "terrorist" without filing charges?

    As to the felons being disapproved, your point about competence applies to any law or government action -- it's always only as good and effective as those enforcing it. The point is that the rules and mechanism IS there for FFL sales, so her question is based on the entirely false hypothetical premise that "if" no background checks are done by an FFL when he makes a sale...

    Well, Katie, they ARE done by FFL's.

    Time to man up Katie. So will we she acknowledge the deception, apologize, and take a suspension like Brian Williams? Or just lie more, and throw her staff under the bus, like Hillary?



    Does any liberal apologize when getting caught being an ass? Of course not!

    Seems to me that VCDL wasn't just deceived, they were also portrayed in a false light/defamed.

    And everyone who watched the show, in addition to VCDL, was deceived.

    Update 3 from VCDL:

    It’s been a long day. I did the following interviews (with little time in between):

    Leland Conway (Kentucky - used to be on WRVA in Richmond) Fox New with Howard Kurtz (Sunday, FOX News “Media Buzz” 11 AM and 5 PM on Sunday) USA Radio (national) Joyce Kaufman Show (Florida) Scott Lee (the Score, Virginia News Network) Channel 12 News (NBC Richmond) Mark Walters (Armed American Radio - national) Fox Business News (live - was on around 5:40 PM today) Dana Loesch Show (National)

    I am lined up for more tomorrow (as of 11 PM, Thursday):

    Mike Gallagher Show (10 AM, national)
    Lee Brothers Show (3 PM, Richmond radio)



    Howard Kurtz will be playing an interview with me on FOX News on Sunday on his Media Buzz show - which is on at 11 AM and 5 PM.



    Here is coverage from today on FOX’s Special Report with Brett Bair:

    The Couric story is amazing - she is being pounded by everyone - Washington Post, New York Times, Washington Times, CNN, FOX, and well over 50 or so more media outlets! NO ONE IS DEFENDING HER. I’ve never seen anything like this before (and hopefully won’t again).

    I am behind on Alerts and Updates - no time right now. My apologies. I’ll try to catch up a little over the weekend.

    Here’s a funny poke at Katie’s “creative” editing, putting the shoe on the other foot - A MUST WATCH:

    A reminder of a similar fraud, this time it was by Dateline in 1993:

    People are criticizing VCDL, but look at the net result of their participation in the interview: it exposed the blatant deception on the part of the liberal media.

    VCDL has made a gigantic ripple in the water exposing KC's immoral actions. Good for them and I will continue to support VCDL in the years to come.

    During the Fox News report, Lyin' Couric [Ode to Trump] said she wanted to know what gun owners are afraid of.

    She wouldn't get it anyway, but here's what I'd say.

    I'm afraid that people without scruples will abuse their media power with lies and deception that mislead enough lib lemmings that guns are the problem...and that a socialist president, congress, and Supreme Court will radically amend or dissolve the 2nd amendment.

    I'm afraid at the bottom of the slippery slope that your p-ss poor reporting has lubricated, the majority of law-abiding citizens will one-day be under-armed or unarmed.

    I'm afraid that our government is growing big enough to temporarily give it's citizens everything they want...and will then be powerful enough to take it all away.

    I'm afraid that "other people's money" that Bernie and Hillary can't wait to spend is fast running out, leaving our country bankrupt and vulnerable to attack and takeover from those who want to eradicate America and its people.

    I'm afraid that a massive SHTF is growing increasingly likely, and unless we citizens can protect our families and property until order is restored, we'll unnecessarily suffer unspeakable horrors of anarchy [which I saw firsthand in Kuwait City during the Gulf War].

    And I'm afraid that Orwell got it so damned accurate all those years ago, that our children might one experience life as depicted in The Walking Dead, The Hunger Games, or any of the dozens of Apocalyptic forecasts in literature and movies.

    How would you answer?

    Here's how she would answer.

    She'd answer the same way she answered me when she brought up the subject of guns in homes with children. I described just such a situation and then posed a pointed question to her about it. Listen to what she does when *she* gets asked something she doesn't like. ;)

    This is from the full, unedited audio.

    Juuuuust over the line
    Check out the Youtube clip from Cowboy T in post #52, from VCDL's original raw audio. At 1:38 and about 25 seconds, the producers make up a convenient excuse to be sure they get 10 seconds of silence. I'm betting they planned the deceptive editing from the beginning.

    Bastards!
