New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slammed the National Rifle Association’s latest ad in which they accuse President Barack Obama of hypocrisy for sending his children to a school where they are protected by armed guards. Christie called the ad “reprehensible” and said that the NRA should not be “dragging people’s children” into the gun control debate.

“I think any of us who are public figures, you see that kind of ad and you cringe,” Christie said on Thursday at a news conference in Trenton. “I’m a father who is a public figure, who has four children and my children had no choice realistically in what I decided to do with my career and what affect that has had on their lives.”
“Don’t be dragging people’s children into this,” he added. “It’s wrong and I think it demeans them and it makes them less of a valid trusted source of information on the real issues that confront this debate.”
“Are the president’s kids more important than yours?” the narrator in the NRA advertisement asks. “Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school?”
“Mr. Obama demands the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, but he’s just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to a fair share of security,” the controversial ad concludes.

Mark Levin just talked about Christie.
Not me. We need to wall Jersey off, they messed up Pennsylvania.
Who thinks this guy is republican?
He’s been wearing Obama kneepads since before
the election, this is straight out of the DNC
talking points.
He is finished for 2016. There is nothing wrong with the NRA ad.
Good grief, Christie is downright dense.
he is way beyond a RINO.
what a fat pos..
When he and Obama hugged, he became possessed!
I suppose cremie is okay with 0’s EO’s yesterday with a backdrop of kid props.
Another one of our aspiring Lords and Masters who happens to have an ‘R’ in front of his name. Fat piece of filth.
Hypocrite Christie! Why did Obama surround himself with children for his “speech”. That’s a Hitler move! Christie has joined the dark side.
So using Kids as Human Shields like Obama did is ok?
See ya Christy

Who cares how “public officials” think anymore “WhaleBoy”.
We care about the U.S Constitution and Bill of Rights not what you “public officials” think of us.
Democrat and Republican voters better join hands on this gun issue.
Anyone who even hints at voting to take that freedom must be ejected from office next go round.
I think Opportunist Christie, is full of malarky and bull. Why is he quiet about nobama surrounding himself with a few kids while he signed yet another gun bill restricting us some more?????
Keep kissing Obama a$$ Christie. He will be destroyed of he runs for President.
Chris Christie, the Joe Scarborough of the Gubernatorial set.
Arlen Specter, is that YOU?
Someone should ask him who those “little people” were who appeared with obumbler in his press announcement.
They should also ask him if he thinks obumbler told those “little people” that they would be taxed at a rate never before seen in America, and for the rest of their lives.
Christie,Bloomberg,McCain,etc. are not believers in the Republican principles as stated in the party platform;they just believe they know what’s best for all us little people.
I’ve really begun to HATE this fat scumbag. Hot, fiery hate.
I’m surprised that fat jerk could pull his lips away from 0bama’s a$$ long enough to say anything except “Mmmm 0bama’s sh!t tastes good.” Oh wait that is in effect what he’s saying
The Democrats! Just wait he will probably be switching parties in the future so he can run for President as a Democrat in 2016. I can’t believe there will many Republicans who would vote for him the way he’s going!
The way the GOP is headed this guy will be the frontrunner(Yeah I know, small joke, who actually believes Christie can run anywhere!) Christie is a progressive, he is the white Obama, only really really fat
P2 dumps on this ‘rat for not calling out Br0n0’s use of children as shields in the gun “debate”.
OH, you just reminded me....muslims use children and women for human shields. nobama uses Jarrett and moosshell for protection and day before yesterday children while he signed another gun bill.
Hell of a good post!!
They are not believers in anything conservative.
In the last several months I gave Gov. Christie the benefit of the doubt for some misguided actions and indelicate words.
What a horse’s patoot.
Can you say “loose cannon”? Attention whoreitis? Snooki’s boyfriend? LOL
And downright obese! His brain has already given out. Is his heart far behind?
And Christie didn’t see the Obama photo op with the children?
What is wrong with him? Maybe his shorts are too tight. They’re cutting off circulation to his brain.
If this is the way Christie’s going to be, maybe he should change parties now.
Hey Christie, the NRA didn’t drag those kids up on stage with the Marxist this week for his campaign to grab our guns.
Christie craves attention almost as much as he craves a 24-hour buffet.
He totally missed the point....Hey Gov. Krispy Creme our children are just as important to us as yours are too you.
When is this clown going to switch parties?
Republicans are becoming evermore increasingly unwise in this age. It's like they don't even want me to vote for any of them any more, conservative or not!
I mean, I'm not going to vote for a conservative who remains in a party full of complete rino idiotic dumbasses, are you?
It would be nice if both Jeb and Christie would run and split the RINO vote. But they won’t because the GOPe will assure there is only one chosen establishment RINO candidate just like they did in 2012.
Obama is reprehensible for endangering our children with his attempted gun grab. For the NRA to point out his hypocrisy is a noble act. Anyone in doubt just has to look at how the far left media are reacting - they are in a panic that the NRA might frame the debate honestly.
Hey, attaboy for calling out obama for dragging other people's kids into this issue!
Oh. You weren't calling out obama? The NRA? Oh. I see, uh... Think about it, CC.
Think of him as Romney Light!
Well looks like Christie squashed the shark.
He is not a RHINO !
He is a Fat Unicorn ! (stolen from a post on Free Republic)
“dragging people’s children” into the gun control debate indeed.
Another day, another stupid statement from Christie. Somebody give him a dozen jelly doughnuts to shut him up.
CLUE??? DUH!!!! Chris Christie is complicit with the mafia
