Mon, 18 Aug 2008 09:29:39 -14400

A student group plans to ask University of Colorado regents this week to allow people with handgun permits to carry weapons on campus. Regent Kyle Hybl said he was not sure if they would tackle the issue. The Colorado Springs chapter of the Students for Concealed Carry on Campus argues that gun-free zones on college campuses translate into a ban on self-defense. Today, people other than police cannot bring firearms on campus. A state law passed in 2003 allowed concealed weapons to be carried by permit in most parts of the state, but then-state Attorney General Ken Salazar issued a formal opinion that regents could regulate whether they allow guns on campus. Campus police oppose a change in university guidelines. What's your take on this issue?

We are joined by former Orange County Supervisor Edison Miller who is lashing out at John McCain, saying the presidential candidate falsely fingered him as a turncoat who was "actively aiding the enemy" while the two were imprisoned during the Vietnam War. "He lied about me," said the Irvine resident, who retired as a Marine Corps colonel shortly after the war. "The attacks on my character and integrity are totally without merit or justification. I did stand up and say the war was wrong. I would speak against the war, but I never spoke against my country. And I gave up no secrets." In McCain's book, "Faith of My Fathers," the Republican presidential candidate writes about two "camp rats" who "had lost their faith completely.""They not only stopped resisting but apparently crossed a line no other prisoner I knew had even approached," McCain wrote. "They were collaborators, actively aiding the enemy." While McCain did not name the two in the book, Miller and Walter Eugene Wilber are identified as the POWs in question in a June 15 New York Times story on McCain's 1974 essay about POW traitors. Miller said the newspaper story brought McCain's claims to his attention.Jay then busted open the phones for the topic free portion of the show. We got into Scientology this hour too!

Nineteen-year-old Justin Schaffer is studying economics at the University of Dayton and had placed the icons on his Facebook.com home page. A photo of the younger Schaffer's Facebook.com home page was taken within the last two days, and an unknown party created a Web site, www.schafferfamilyvalues.com, to display the page publicly. The image with the slavery caption is over a picture of the pyramids and is posted below links to his father's campaign page on the Web site. Justin did issue an apology that included. "The offensive materials directly contradict the values that my parents taught me and are forbidden in my parents' home. My Facebook page is solely my responsibility, and I am saddened that my actions have reflected poorly on my sisters and parents." His father spoke to 9NEWS on the phone after an event in Glenwood Springs Monday evening and said, "My wife and I have initiated a process of firm and severe discipline with our son."

There was quite a struggle in Congress this week. The Department of Defense refused to allow the senior civilian in charge of its Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO) to testify in Thursday's hearing on sexual assault in the military. Rep. John Tierney, chair of the House Subcommittee on National Security and Foreign Affairs, angrily dismissed Principal Deputy Undersecretary of Defense Michael Dominguez from the hearing when Dominguez said that he, the DoD chief of legislative affairs and the chief of public affairs, had ordered Dr. Kaye Whitley, chief of SAPRO, to refuse to honor the subpoena issued by the subcommittee for her appearance. Full committee Chairman Henry Waxman called the DoD's decision to prevent Whitley from testifying "ridiculous and indicating DoD is covering something up."

On ABC"s This Week, McCain reversed himself and came out in support of Ward Connerly"s attempt to end affirmative action in Arizona. Ten years ago, McCain called a similar ballot initiative "divisive." But back then he wasn"t running for President, trying to appeal to wary conservatives.

A man who opened fire inside a church, killing two people with a shotgun hidden in a guitar case, was frustrated at being unable to find a job and blamed liberals and gays, police said on Monday. Suspect Jim Adkisson, 58, who was being held on $1 million bond, had previously worked as a mechanical engineer in several states. He described his violent plans in a four-page letter found at his home, which also explained that his age and "liberals and gays" taking jobs had worked against him. Another recent setback was that Adkisson's allotment of government-issued food stamps had been reduced. Where do you think all this stuff comes from? Does the right just demonize the left and creat this hate?

Soaring gas prices appear to be influencing Colorado's U.S. Senate race, analysts say, citing a poll released Thursday showing the race between Democrat Mark Udall and Republican Bob Schaffer in a dead heat. The poll shows Udall and Schaffer tied 44-44 percent, compared to a 48-38 percent lead for Udall in June. The poll is jointly run by Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, The Wall Street Journal and washingtonpost.com. "By a 50-39 percent margin, Colorado voters say a candidate's position on energy policy is more important than their position on the war in Iraq," the poll found. A new poll also showed Barack Obama losing ground on McCain. How do you explain this? Does it matter?

With an advertiser pulling sponsorship and a radio network dropping his program, conservative talk-radio host Michael Savage yesterday sought to recast controversial comments he made last week in which he said autism is "a fraud, a hoax" and that most children with autism are just "brats" who haven"t "been told to cut the act out." Responding to the uproar caused by his comments, Savage said, "I stand by my words," and he lashed out at Media Matters for America, the progressive media watchdog that on Thursday first noted Savage"s controversial remarks. Despite using words such as "dummy,""idiot,""brat,""moron," and "fool" to refer to children with autism, Savage said he was misquoted and taken out of context. Some parents of autistic children have called for Savage's firing after he described autism as a racket last week. Our special guest is Evelyn Ain of Autism United. Her 8-year-old son has been diagnosed with autism. She organized a demonstration Monday outside New York's WOR-AM, which broadcasts Savage. www.autismunited.org

A California man went to extremes on Monday to punish his teenage daughter. He did so by making the 13-year-old stand at the corner of Stine Road and Stockdale Highway in Bakersfield while holding a sign that said she was a liar and disrespected parents. Clayton Delouth said it was a last resort and said his daughter had stolen money and items from him and his wife as well as a neighbor. Delouth said while it wasn't meant to embarrass her, it was and added that the Puritans and judges have done it, "so, why not?" But local psychologist Dean Haddock says that such a punishment will more than likely backfire and the best medicine is to open up the lines of communication between father and child. Is this cruel and unusual or acceptable punishment?

Bishop Kevin Foreman and other members of the Final Harvest Christian Center have filed with the secretary of state to circulate a petition to change Colorado law to allow five minutes for prayer or meditation in public schools. Foreman and supporters need at least 76,000 valid signatures by Aug. 4 to place the issue on the November ballot. The petition is asking for five minutes at the start of each school day to allow students to invoke silent prayers privately or in groups, or have time for personal meditation.
