Was stuck inside for a while this afternoon and watched a rerun of a Hannity & Colms show on Fox News.
One of the big issues was the charge that one of the NRAs new television ads was "racist". The ad shows mugshots of persons charged with ghun crimes who were not prosecuted. There was a congressman from New Jersey on charging that blacks and hispanics were overly represented in the ad and that the NRA was trying to appeal to it's "white male" constituancy.
They played the ad twice, Shawn Hannity began counting the mugshots by race and it seemed they we pretty equally divided between white, black and hispanic.
I guess when you can't argue with the facts, that the Clinton administration doesn't enforce the laws on the books, you have to attempt to divert the issue by accusing the people stating the facts of being racist.
I don't know if any other media picked up the story, this was the first I had heard of it or the ad.
