Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, October 30, 2009

New Jersey state police seem to be contradicting CNN Host Lou Dobbs' account of a gunfire incident near his Sussex County, New Jersey, house. A New Jersey State Police spokesperson, Sgt. Julian Castellanos, noted that "it's a wide open area and there are hunters in the area." Castellanos explained that the bullet had hit the house in vicinity of the attic. It "hit the vinyl siding and fell to the ground" without penetrating the vinyl, he said.

Its all a conspiracy and the NJ state is in on it. Those Jersey people fucking love mexicans.

NRA scores a near miss.

It's that rtard "victimhood" gene kicking in again....

How uttlerly sick. Frank calls the defense of a CNN anchor from having to put up with jackboot thugs from shooting 15 feet away from his wife and getting death threats as "rtard victimhood". How sick is America becoming when we are so drunk on blind partisan bitterness that we condone such thuggery [no matter who the victim is]

"when we are so drunk on blind partisan bitterness that we condone such thuggery"

Yes, we now know it appears to be over exaggerated media hype of a common occurrence during hunting season ---- but we know "libruuls" want too.

It was a hunter's bullet. Probably fired from over a mile away.

Manypaths, you left the words "appear" and "seem" from the headline and the beginning of the Hufpo article. Knowing that Hufpo stretches the truth, you stretch it even more.

"He observed that in the ongoing police investigation sparked by Dobbs' complaint, "nothing has been determined [regarding] what the intended target for this bullet was." Nor did Jones confirm whether the shots near Dobbs' house appeared to be an accident or intentional."

Now if it was a stray bullet hitting the attic the shot would have been made straight up for it to "hit the vinyl siding and fall to the ground".

Hunters know and practice gun safety and never would shoot a gun in such a manner.

To do otherwise you would have to be a liberal who shouldn't have a firearm in your hands.

....jackboot thugs

What is a jack boot? Never seen one.
Available at Walmart?

Now if it was a stray bullet hitting the attic the shot would have been made straight up for it to "hit the vinyl siding and fall to the ground".

Sounds like you need a lesson on ballistics there KB.

A bullet that hits Vinyl siding and fails to penetrate it has lost it's velocity. Therefore it hits something and stops moving. Then gravity takes over and it falls to the ground.

Do you have any idea how far a bullet has to travel to lose that much velocity?

If it had hit you in the hand, it would not have broken the skin and fall to your feet.

I thought you righties knew something about guns?

All of them?

Good catch. Speaking of twisting words, Sgt Jones original comments were:

"A search of the area around Dobbs' home did not uncover any hunters or recreational gun enthusiasts, he said."

Yet Huffington makes a statement attributed to Jones, while not quoting him:

He also confirmed that there are hunters in the area

I've learned alot tonight. First, that Lou Dobbs is a right-winger. Then, that a "hunter's bullet" striking a man's house is nothing to be worried about.

I wonder if a hunter's bullet had hit the White House, would you be so insouciant? No velocity . . . probably from a mile away. Nothing to see here.

#12 right
Here's the screwy logic by the blind left:

Since the left are the attackers (Soros, SPLC, LaRaza and other pro-open borders crowd are the attackers [in addition to Geraldo Rivera]), therefore anyone speaking against them [including defending thuggery by such] is right-wing along with the one being attacked (Dobbs).

How uttlerly sick. Frank calls the defense of a CNN anchor from having to put up with jackboot thugs

The utterly sick thing here is calling the cops jack booted thugs when you have never had any experience with jack booted thugs and wouldn't know one if he shoved that jack boot up your ass.


Hunters know and practice gun safety and never would shoot a gun in such a manner.

Another very funny statement. Never?

It just struck me. Lou Dobbs has vinyl siding?

How gauche.

#15 bax

A little defensive? In fact so much so you make up some myth I'm calling out some cops? The best chance you have to 'save face' is to accuse me of something I never said. Get real, blind lefty kool-aid bum!

Perhaps I deal with them every day, how would you know?

fyi, baxter. Urban Dictionary:

jack booted thug

Jack booted is a derogatory term used to describe an overly oppressive and authoritarian individual or group, often denotes violent tendencies. Thugs, thus described, are those in the service of an oppressive authoritarian, usually employing violence to achieve his/her/their master's goals.

So Dobbs "overreacted".

again..

If I loaded the bullet it would have gone clear through the house. His gun freak enemies are typical right wing can't load and can't shoot pussies.

So, it was a hunter's bullet, wonder what would have happened if it were from an AK47 or any other assault weapon. Would it have penetrated the vinyl siding??? Would it have gone through a wall???
Do most Americans understand the potential threat of those weapons???? I think not.

Dobb's comment regarding the incident are incendiary if he doesn't know from where the shot originated.

Funny, but I also over-react to bullets hitting my house.

I guess I am just paranoid that way.

Do most Americans understand the potential threat of those weapons???? I think not.

Does danni understand those weapons? I think not.

What exactly makes a scary "assault" weapon more of a threat than any other?

But had this same incident startled and caused Rachael Maddow to prematurely extract her tongue from whatever grad student/intern snatch was serving as a "houseguest" at the moment on her premises, it would be the impetus for hours and hours of cable news programming on the unhinged right wing hate that is poisoning our political discourse.

You know it.

I know it.

You don't know shiat, Mao.

Spud's take is that Maddow would not play the pathetic victim card under the same circumstances. That's way more of an rtard MO. RM would prolly still call the cops particularily if she'd been receiving death threats which she no doubt does but she wouldn't have turned it into a national story in the self aggrandizing way Lou did.

But like Mao's certain "knowledge" above that's just a guess.

A bullet fired from a mile away?
Didn't even break the vinyl siding?
In Jersey?

LOL.

Spud's surprised the "jack booted thugs" (ie local police) who turned up fer this call managed to keep a straight face while listening to Lou's rants.

"It's the Mexican Drug Cartels I tells ya!!"

*chuckle*

Is there any molehill that rtards won't try and make into a mountain?

Be Well.

/As he do
stage left.

It's that rtard "victimhood" gene kicking in again....

Not to be confused with O'tard victimhood, where the mere presence of a legally carried / owned firearm in the hands of a black man is enough to warrant cries and whines of "racism" against a black president.

Typical republican coward.

Hmm, does hallichainy do his drunken, drive by hunting near Dobbs' home?

A lot of people do not realize you can hunt within 150 yards of someone's house in Pennsylvania. PA allows hunting with high powered rifles.

A rifled bullet can travel over 2 miles.

An intelligence check is not part of getting a hunting license nor is a Darwin check. Many shitheads hunting in PA are also drunk.

In more rural areas of PA people stay indoors during deer season. The keep their pets inside as well. Farmers paint COW on the side of cows.

The problem I have with gun and hunting laws is they do not take into account ignorance and stupidity.

Dobbs has a right to be scared and pissed. What he doesn't realize along with most people is the law accepts this risk that people have to take during hunting season because of fucktards with guns.

Cannot wait for Dobbs' outrage over illegal immigration to be replaced with his outrage over the NRA, hunting, and lack of gun control laws in the USA....

LMFAO

Even if it was a hunter,that asshole should be in jail. Its illegal to hunt within bullet range of any house, 1-2 miles depending on here you live.

Not true at all. Look up the laws in your state. There are local rules about city limits but not outside of them.

I've learned alot tonight. First, that Lou Dobbs is a right-winger. Then, that a "hunter's bullet" striking a man's house is nothing to be worried about.

No, as usual you didn't learn anything. Nobody said that a hunter's bullet striking a man's house is nothing to be worried about. In this case, however, the evidence suggests that it was a harmless accident which Dobbs used to draw attention to himself because he's a weasel.

It was a hunter's bullet. Probably fired from over a mile away.

How do you know that? Did you do it?

Well SNIPER. The great shooter. Isn't it fucking obvious it may well have been a stray shot from a far distance since it knocked off some siding but didn't penetrate? You know didn't have much energy left?

Come on MR. Gun Expert, you are Drudge Retort's answer to Marky Mark.

Any hunters bullet this time of year is at least .30 caliber with a few .270's thrown in.(assuming whitetail deer hunters)
If a bullet from one of these rifles hits your vinyl siding and bounces off, you can bet the bank it was fired from one fuck of a long distance away.

Christ, a little .22 can travel a mile and still penetrate an inch of pine.

I also love the irony of someone having the handle Sniper, whgen he/she obviously knows so little about guns and ballisics.

just change 2 letters, add an extra of one of them, and a much more accurate handle arises"

Look CNN ratings are in the tank. Maybe Dobbs saw this as an opportunity. But then again he hasn't blamed it on Fox News....

fur, it could have been a hunter's bullet but.... we don't know for sure. Unless you fired the shot.

Sorry, have to debunk your bs insinuation...

Mr. Dobbs, an administration critic who calls himself an independent, met for dinner with Roger E. Ailes, the chairman of Fox News, last month, according to two people with direct knowledge of the meeting.

One of the people said Mr. Dobbs is a potential hire for the Fox Business Network, the ratings starved, two-year-old spin-off of Fox News.

mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com

faux news, home of liars, misinformers, propagandists, smear artists, and felons......

Dobbs will fit right in...

The change of headline here makes an improper assertion.

When you read the original story, for example one by nbc, was very fair to not show obvious bias. The Sgt on the scene purposely made no speculative statements about the motive.

He also didn't take it a step further to judge the victim's reactions! That is completely outrageous for any law officer to do.

Anybody with half a brain would have to admit that after the fact, it would be very easy to find cops who are willing to political biases and unprofessional enough to comment on the motives of a victim! Of course, no blind lefty would admit to that unless the tables were turned.

As such, this headline is a disgrace to any measure of journalistic integrity.

perhaps you give a pass to a few that simply posted anti-Dobbs comments with right-slamming intentions, like the blind poster of the story (#3)

Jersey is a safe house for illegals!!!!

"fur, it could have been a hunter's bullet but.... we don't know for sure. Unless you fired the shot.

Snippy, I'm just reading the article. Where are you pulling your shit out of again?

Next time Dobbs hears a bullet, I hope it's the last thing he hears.

Dump it.

fur, I said I don't know if it was a bullet from a hunter. Is that pulling my shit out again?

By the way, a .22 bullet won't go thru a 1" pipe at 20 meters, let alone one mile.

Snippy you idiot just look on a box of .22 the shit will travel more than a mile.

you the big man SNIPER here. I would think you would know these things

No, as usual you didn't learn anything. Nobody said that a hunter's bullet striking a man's house is nothing to be worried about.

In Dobb's case-since it didn't penetrate the siding-that's EXACTLY what it means.
That bullet could have hit him standing outside-and it might have stung a bit-but wouldn't have broken his skin.

On the other hand-I had a neighbor who was shooting at Pheasants less than 10 feet from my house-tore up the siding on one side of the house-the side of the house my 6 & 10 YO (at the time) Granddaughters had their rooms when they stayed with us.
When I confronted the bastard-he told me he'd do whatever he wanted-and I couldn't do a damn thing about it.

So I told him the NEXT time he fires any weapon within 450 feet of my house-no matter WHERE his weapon was pointed-I was going to return fire.

And I don't miss.....

He sold his property less than 6 months later-and I haven't had any trouble since.

We don't start no trouble we don't bother nobody?

That must've been one tall deer to have the shot travel that far and hit the top of the house. (bullets fall as fast as anything dropped at a standstill)

#50 frank
you obviously over-reacted just like Dobbs did.

what a moron.
