Boycott CBS

CBS's TV show "Cold Case" just had an FBI agent ask the father of a teenager involved in a Columbine style mascacre, who had said; "We were just an ordinary family." The FBI agent asks; "What kind of ordinary family keeps military assault rifles?" Don't know about your family, but mine's pretty ordinary and we have all kinds of rifles, some of which the anti-gunners would classify as "military assault rifles". Typical misinformed, uneducated irrationally anti-gun Hollywood writers, writing misleading crap. Boycott CBS!

Are they still around?
I've got 1568 other channels to look at anyway...
If I need to send an email just let me know, I'm game!
They are simply milking the cash cow by saying what the Libs want, expect and demand. Conservatives DON'T get to give out Emmys, Golden Globes, etc.[;)]
It's all about money, not sincerity.
SeeBS, which, some 30 years ago, depicted hunters as dangerous slobs?
SeeBS, where mike walleye kissed up to saddam hussein?
SeeBS, home of the sixty minutes of leftist propaganda on Sundays?
No, this can't be! Say it ain't so!
C'mon, the only big media organization which is not openly, rabidly, leftist is Fox. Where ya been, anyway? Nothing on seeBS for decades worth the cost of the electricity except for the occasional sports event.
If every drooling pinhead lefty were to drop dead tomorrow (what a sweet thought - wish I could arrange it!), hollyweird would be virtually empty.
Go to bottom of the page and click on feedback. This is for the main CBS headquarters.
In fact you can even choose the show you want to comment about.
I wrote in and told them that many LEGAL gun owners did not agree with thier outlook on guns and gave them the definition of and assault weapons. And that many of us gun owners would boycott thier station untill a public appoligy was made.
Police, and I imagine FBI agents, do not like civilians to own military style rifles (tough to go jackbootin when you don't know what is waiting on the other side of the door) so I would say that dialoge is not out of character
Although I can see your point Scott, I still don't agree with it.
These guns are LEGAL, and even by the BATFE's definition are not "assault weapons". They are semi-auto rifles. And by the show calling them "assault weapons" they are giving the uneducated public the wrong message.
And that is what we should be in an uproar about!
Why not write the producer, director, writers of the actual show?....
You think CBS has anything to do with what is written into the show?...

At that link if you go to the actual show listing you can do that.
I've come to expect the entertainment industry to be anti-gun and loony-left in general.
FWIW, CBS only airs the show. They don't write it, don't produce it and don't direct it. They merely air it and sell advertising time.
I'm no fan of CBS (like I said, there's only one show that I watch). But, I also call a spade a spade. In this case, there's no spade to call, except the writers of Cold Case.
My point exactly, but ppl will always take the "easy way" and blame the first one instead of the ones holding the sign saying "I am at fault"...
Watch the history or Discovery channel; its better for you.

I grant you that MANY police and MANY Feds do not like civilians owning "military style" rifles. I also must inform you that many police and feds are pro-gun and have zero problem with people owning these firearms. I am one of those peace officers.
Kind of strange how it works out to a percentage similar to society in general....wonder how that could be? Oh, I forgot, police types are citizens first.[;)]
Now back to the original subject, what the hell does everyone expect from a major liberal network. Any chance to take a shot at something that made America what it is will not be passed up.
The socialists infest us and absolutely want to change this nation into something it was never intended to be. Sadly, we are standing by and allowing it to happen incrementally. One can certainly understand how resistance movements begin by looking at our current national journey.

My understanding was that it is the police union and leadership that typically doesn't care for ordinary citizens owning firearms (military-style or otherwise). It is typically the rank-and-file that are 2nd Amendment supporters.
Is that an incorrect assessment of the situation?

Oh, pulleeeeze! So you are saying that CBS has no culpability here at all? (Insert picture of .280 rolling his eyes here.)
A variation of this was tried at Nuremburg. How well did that work out?
Just as an aside, enough people complaining to sponsors seems like it would have more effect than complaining to CBS itself, .........., but still, to allow them to simply shrug their shoulders and say "We didn't write it, didn't produce it, and didn't direct it, all we did was air it and sell advertising time" is laughable.
But then, maybe I am also only "taking the easy way". What a hoot.
Sheesh.
The all mighty has spoken....
"rolls eyes"...

Um, are you saying that CBS/Viacom, which is a publicly-traded company dealing mostly in mass communications is somehow equivalent to a fascist dictatorship that slaughtered millions of innocent people?

Not even close! How in Hell could you even suggest that that was what I was saying???
Perhaps if you read my post again, a little more carefully, you will see that I was merely comparing the "We didn't write it, didn't produce it, ....." line to the infamous "Nuremburg Defense".
T'was just suggesting an analogy. Clear now?
(Edited to remove a snide remark that I regretted making)

Okay. Let's leave it at that it is a horrible analogy that doesn't make a lick of sense.
quote: "We were just an ordinary family." The FBI agent asks; "What kind of ordinary family keeps military assault rifles?"
if you take the amount of ordinary families, that do not own "assault rifles", and take the amount that do {as most of use here}, i would say we are very outnumbered, therefore would not be considered "ordinary" by definition
Okay. Let's leave it at that it is a horrible analogy that doesn't make a lick of sense.
Well, okay, but I think that it sure comes a whole lot closer to making sense than your saying that what I wrote meant ".....that CBS/Viacom, which is a publicly-traded company dealing mostly in mass communications is somehow equivalent to a fascist dictatorship that slaughtered millions of innocent people?"
I still can't figure out how in the world you came up with that. If you want to talk about not making a lick of sense, ......

I assume you know what the Nuremburg trials were about, right?
I wish somebody would post a definitive list of who and what gun owners are supposed to boycott. It's getting awfully confusing.

I think that due to the political nature of top police executive jobs, i.e chiefs and union leaders etc, you may well have an undue amount of socialist/liberal anti-gun personnel there. Barring those positions, my experience has shown that cops fall into a basic societal breakdown on the gun issue. Some anti, some pro and many apathetic on the subject.
Given time exposed to reality, many of the apathetic have to admit that guns are not the problem. The anti's do not change.
In my own agency we are overwhelmingly pro. That may be due to the bureau commanders (of which I am one) speaking and acting consistently on the pro side of things. I certainly never let an opportunity pass by to point out the foolishness of anti positions.[;)]
That post wasnt intended for you...I was also reading the political forum and I clicked on reply....I thought I had responded in the political forum....
I shouldnt have two (actually it was 3 windows) open at the same time...
As for disagreeing with me?....I dont care, that is where great ideas come from...and as for responding on only posts you agree with me, well dang, wish I had that kind of power over everyone.....
"rolls eyes"..

this may have more to do with the education level of union officials, FBI agents, and police brass...usually they have a college degree....

I have a college degree. I like guns. What's the connection?
I assume you know what the Nuremburg trials were about, right?
Yes, I do.
My reference was specifically regarding the "Nuremburg Defense" itself, however. A rather important distinction, but one that I fear you are either not getting, or, perhaps, choosing to not get?
Either way, I think that we have done this to death; not important enough to me to continue. Enjoyed the banter, though! You have yerself a real good day now, ya hear?
That was sincere, not sarcasm.
