Did the Obama Administration Obtain Gunwalker Info To Justify A New Gun Control Measure?

Posted by Matthew Knee on July 21, 2011 8 Comments

Perhaps so. Katie Pavlich has obtained an email in which ATF Assistant Director of Field Operations Mark R. Chait wrote the following: This does not prove, as some on the right side of the blogosphere are saying, that Gunwalker was designed to produce evidence to justify...

This Monday, Twitter suspended several accounts belonging to a prominent Texas conservative organization, Empower Texans, its staff, and another conservative organization, AgendaWise, created by a former employee.

How pathetic is this. The Daily Caller is reporting as news that Public Policy Polling, a Democratic pollster which has a nasty habit of doing polling meant to generate anti-Republican headlines, and using skewed sampling, is dropping Tim Pawlenty from some of its polling questions.
