I will say it again. As a father, I cannot imagine the pain that Fred Guttenberg must feel from his daughter being murdered at the Parkland shooting.
That said, he’s become a real partisan piece of shit. Attacking law-abiding gun owners who did nothing while letting the Broward school board that made that disaster possible off the hook.
If he turned the same anger that he has for the NRA towards the Broward Democrat Machine, he might actually accomplish something that would punish the guilty and prevent future tragedies.
Here I am being cynical, that wouldn’t garner him the fame and fortune, media appearances, and being director of a foundation that does comedy nights.
His activism led him to be one of Nancy Pelosi’s guests to the SOTU.
While there, he really covered himself in glory. Only Nancy’s speech shredding antics managed to outshine his.

He was ejected from the gallery for shouting at the President.
He was forced to apologize, with the sort of non-apology that is common on the Left.
“Tonight was a rough night. I disrupted the State Of The Union and was detained because I let my emotions get the best of me. I simply want to be able to deal with the reality of gun violence and not have to listen to the lies about the 2A [second amendment] as happened tonight.
That said, I should not have yelled out. I am thankful for the overwhelming support that I am receiving. However, I do owe my family and friends an apology. I have tried to conduct myself with dignity throughout this process and I will do better as I pursue gun safety.”
If you really want to enjoy this moment, watch this video from CBS that shows the moment but Trump speaking.
The moment Guttenberg started to yell you could see Nancy look toward her side and put up her hand to shut up her guest.
I really should feel sorry for him because of the loss of his daughter, but he’s just such a hateful asshole I can’t bring myself to do it.
So that’s what that was.
He’d do more good railing against
compulsory government schools.
Do not think for a second that Pelosi did not stage this disruption deliberately.
Our local liberal talk radio troll called in and tried to argue that Gutenberg was removed “for no reason.”
Remember that Gutenberg was the same guy who aggressively approached Judge Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing and complained that Kavanaugh was whisked away by security just because an unknown person was charging at a Supreme Court nominee…
Pepperidge Farms remembers. So do I.
The fact that this guy hasn’t made any attempt to go after Scott Israel makes me wonder where his real loyalties and emotions lie.
Its amazing how these morons cant blame the real cause of their loss. Its easier to blame inanimate objects and faceless “organizations” . Sorry for your loss but you are and always will be an asshole
