The War on Guns: Is Bill O'Reilly claiming 'all' Mexican cartel guns come from U.S.?

The War on Guns: Is Bill O'Reilly claiming 'all' Mexican cartel guns come from U.S.?

David Codrea reports on an something that Bill O'Reilly supposed said that is a blatant lie. But this quote to me is more telling:

O'Reilly has the most popular cable news show out there, a huge radio following and consistent best seller status for his books. While he defines himself as an "independent" and an admirer of Robert Kennedy, what's telling is it serves the agenda of the political left to attack him as an arch-conservative. Based on near-universal acceptance of that misdirection, it appears to be working, which makes it convenient for characterizing anyone who takes a more hard-line stance as "pretty extreme."

Anybody think that doesn't serve a purpose in terms of defining the acceptable ideological boundaries for "mainstream" political discourse...?

Codrea, here, is channeling Glenn Beck, who has pointed out that over time, the window of "mainstream" thought has been shifted leftward, little by little. Then, anyone to the right of the window becomes an "extreme right wing conservative" whose thoughts are "clearly out of the mainstream." Some Constitutional restorationists may be conservative, but not all of us by a long shot. Remember that what we want, what we demand, is a restoration of the Constitutional Republic, and a return to the true rule of law. It is only by turning back to our Founders' ideas that we and our progeny can truly live in freedom.
