Machine gun fundraiser under fire
The saga continues. Aparently Olbermann picked up on the story last night.
Love that headline!

MANCHESTER – City Republican leaders are steering clear of a party fundraiser that invites donors to test their marksmanship with a loaded machine gun.

Several of the city's most prominent Republicans, including many of the party's candidates for mayor and alderman, say they will not attend the Aug. 5 event at the Pelham Fish and Game firing range.

A few raised moral objections, saying they would not support a fundraiser that packs a pro-gun message.

"I don't think it's an appropriate way to raise money," said Mike Garrity, one of two Republican aldermen in Manchester.
