Shep Smith On Lukewarm Gun
Control Support: ‘If We Stuck
With The Polls, We’d Have Had
Slavery A Lot Longer’

Mediaite, by Noah Rothman

In a conversation with The Hill editor A.B. Stoddard, Fox News Channel anchor Shepard Smith expressed his frustration with the lack of demand among lawmakers in Washington for new gun control measures. Stoddard observed that there is no consensus in public opinion polling data on gun control, and even less consensus among lawmakers on what new measures to adopt. Smith countered by insisting that had America’s lawmakers relied on polling data alone, “we’d have had slavery a lot longer than we did.” (Snip) Smith noted that President Barack Obama made some promises during the campaign which he must

Comments:
The moron Shemp goes off the rails again. His snarky irrelevant comments are getting really old. He must have forgotten he has a "news" show. s/o

Smith should be removed from the job.
I am offended by his stupid comments, and this is not the first time.
He makes a mockery of Fair and Balanced.
Boycott his sponsors.

Shep just argued against his own position. Yes, many Constitutional guarantees would not be enforced if subjected to popular vote including perhaps slavery at the time enforcement of the Second Amendment today. It is the difference between rule of law and rule by men. Of course Shep is such a dull knife.

That statement is completely false and has nothing to do with gun control logic.
There were more people living in non slave states than slave states. There were many more people than did not own slaves than people than owned them.
If there had been a vote to end slavery, it would have ended years before it did!
The end of slavery comparison is a Red Herring argument. There is only one reason government wants to take guns away from the general population, and it has nothing to do with our safety.

I quit watching Shep a long time ago. And I am not at all sure that polling the original 13 colonies around the time the constitution was written would have found the majority supporting slavery. The anti-slavery movement was rolling pretty strong around the (non-Islamic) world by that time.

Y´all, please stop insulting the late Shemp Howard by using his name for that duf Shep Smith.

Ya, except, slavery was unconstitutional.

AND, this can be argued both ways.

Still, the premise is incorrect.

Life, liberty and property are denied where slavery is permitted.

If he understood the constitution, he wouldn´t have made this silly conclusion.

If so, how did Lincoln get elected? Why didn´t the popular majority elect someone who would have preserved the right to own slaves? The Bill of Rights, by the way, is intended to preserve the rights of the minority as well as the minority, so the popular sentiment in favor (or opposed) to gun ownership is irrelevant.

Shep is a television show pony, with little if anything between his ears...

Who wanted to keep the slaves on the plantation? It was democrats that were involved in the Klu Klux Klan. (Robert Bird, (D) senator was in the KKK)It was George Wallace (D)that stood on the steps of a school and tried to keep black students out.
It was Spain that brought the slaves here and blacks, (their own people) in Africa that captured them and turned them over to the Slave traders.
Yet it is taxpayers today whose money went for reparations to people who thought they deserved it because their ancestors were slaves. Maybe they should have gone to Africa to make their homes if it means so much to them. I´m sure their futures would be much more secure than they are here in the USA,

Shepard Smith is an idiot! All of us need to contact his sponsors and Fox. Maybe we can get rid of this jerk. I, for one, always switch channels when he is on.

There was a time probably over 10 years ago when Smith just read the news and did a pretty good job of it. Then he got full of himself and began to think he is smarter than he is.

I demand an apology for such a ridiculous remark.

Other shows on Fox love to point out the bias and bigotry of other news outlets. I would love to see O´Reilly, Hannity, Baier, or the Five point out SS´s hate speech.

I´m 100% sure that they could do a poll today that would many think we still have slavery today.

I know there´s a bunch of "Smiths" that play in the NFL, but I ain´t seen a "Shep" one before . . . Who does he play for again?

I distinctly remember the great US poll of 1866 and 78.236% were against slavery.

Shepard Smith is just one of Fox´s token liberls along with Beckel,Jerry Rivers, and now that socialist of socialists Kucinich. That´s how Fox can make the claim "Fair and Balanced" and have it acually be true. Smith is one of those people who sticks their wet finger in the air and decides then which way to go on an issue. He is obviously incapable of taking a true, genuine, principled position on much if anything. Truly spineless.

Shep-
I think you meant to say "If We Stuck With The Democrat Party, We´d Still Have Slavery."

Shep lost me with his over the top whining and finger pointing at Bush during Katrina. Maybe he should interview Ray Nagin to get the real story. A good reading of the
Constitution and Federalist Papers might just make him a journalist instead of a hack.

He plays for ´The Other Team´ according to some here. Regardless, he should be recused from ´reporting´ on second amendment stories on Fox, as a starting point.

If there was a nonpropaganda media channel, someone could force this cretin to defend his call for more robbery, rape and murder. Surely this dullard understands that disarming innocent, responsible, citizens will result in more of them being harmed. Like himself and everyone he works with. Does he really think disarming everyone but the criminal element will make people like him safer? If so, PROVE it and drop security for himself, his home and all of his coworkers. Let´s sort this out, mouthpiece.

An absolutely outrageous statement and, in my mind, a fireable offense. I know that won´t happen, but let the network and sponsors know your opinion on this matter.

The new form of slavery started under Lyndon Johnson and continues today.
The slaves of today are totally dependent on government..they are incapable of feeding themselves and their children without government help. Ditto housing themselves, ditto transporting themselves, paying their heating bills or thinking for themselves..and they are incapable of leaving the plantation because they have no skills to help them become independent, as their role models are their mothers and grandmothers who are also dependent on government.. THIS in spite of Head Start, public schools and AA to get to college.
Yes, there are some who know 2+2=4, but they don´t know how to get there.
We would be doing them a favor by cutting off welfare and forcing them to live independently..or be hungry.
So if Shep is against slavery, he should be faulting the government on a daily basis.
In the meantime, while wolf cubs roam the streets with their illegal guns, I will damn sure keep my legal guns to protect me and mine.
14% of our total population is draining the life blood out of this Country.

Well we can all see where all the propagandist are going this term.

Polls mean nothing, peon oppinion mean nothing, law means nothing and common sense is worthless when stacked against the liberal agenda and the "Chicago Jesus" ideas.

The "Chicago Jesus" must be obeyed or you are all racist that would bring back slavery because only the Incompetent and corrupt can provide the "Imperial Edicts" from the Whte House.

Will someone please tell the ignorant that slavery is over ? How long are they going to beat a dead horse ?

In 2007, then Senator Barack Obama appeared on CNN´s Larry King Live and called on U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to resign. Obama said Gonzales was acting more like the president´s attorney than the people´s attorney and viewed himself as an "enabler of the administration." "Well, I voted against Alberto Gonzales confirmation for precisely the reason we are seeing now. I said this on the floor of the senate, that although he seemed to be a capable attorney, he seemed to conceive his role as being the president´s attorney instead of being the people´s attorney," Obama said.

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why.

We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.

The way to prevent abortionists like convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell from occurring again is to build more Planned Parenthood clinics, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said at a House Judiciary Subcommittee hearing on Thursday about legislation that would prevent abortion after 20 weeks nationwide. “I would urge my colleagues to think about the extent to which he, Dr. Gosnell, represented the poor quality of health care services available in poorer communities,” Nadler said at the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice hearing. “We should be working to make sure that high quality

House Speaker John A. Boehner on Thursday flatly ruled out chances of the House passing the Senate’s immigration bill, saying his chamber will debate its own bill instead. The Ohio Republican and his top lieutenants in the party issued a joint statement that seemed designed to tamp down some of the momentum behind the Senate bill, which emerged from a committee on a bipartisan 13-5 vote this week, and to stake out a House GOP position. “While we applaud the progress made by our Senate colleagues, there are numerous ways in which

During friendly questioning from Rep. Hank “I fear that Guam will capsize!” Johnson in Congress last week, Attorney General Eric Holder offered the following statement. In regard to potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material. This is not something I’ve ever been involved in, heard of, or would think would be wise policy. He made that statement before the facts about the sweep on Fox News’ James Rosen were known. Since then, it’s come to light that Holder himself approved the subpoena that, among other things, named Rosen as a criminal co-conspirator.

As the saying goes, scratch a liberal and you’ll find a tyrant underneath. NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo is but the latest example. He shoved a very restrictive and ill-considered gun law through the state legislature in the dead of night. Among its flaws, the law criminalized police officers who tote firearms with magazines that hold more than seven rounds. Sheriffs around the state have objected to the law. Cuomo summoned them to the state capitol under what appears to be a false pretext, and used the meeting to threaten them into silence. Cuomo invited

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
