The 14-year-old daughter of City Councilman Bill de Blasio is featured in a nice family photo on the website for de Blasio's public advocate campaign. But don't let her innocent smile fool you—teenage Chiara loves guns, and de Blasio doesn't want voters to know about it. It's been revealed that in the original photo, Chiara was wearing a gun-shaped pendant, which was subsequently airbrushed away when the photo was pimped out for campaign literature. When confronted about the cover-up by the Daily News, de Blasio explained, "Our daughter made a mistake in putting on a necklace that was inappropriate. I made a decision to take it out of any literature and she will not be wearing it in the future." But Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics is troubled, because who knows what else de Blasio is hiding? Are those even his children? Still, Sabat gives Chiara a pass on her gun fetish, because "you never blame a 14-year-old—they all do silly, rebellious things, and I guess that's what it was. She's 14. Who cares?" Well, easy for him to say; he doesn't have to generate news content in August.

Further proof to me that politicians should NEVER use children as props.
Let them grow up normally, out of the spotlight, and go through their awkward teen years freely making stupid teen mistakes and unmolested by the press. Shame on any politician who doesn't respect his/her own family.

He sent out literature with his wife's picture and large caption "HE GETS IT", DeBlasio will do anything to win including working with corrupt Working Family Party.
Norman Siegel is a honest guy.
Siegal is not honest. He robbed the ACLU of any integrity it ever had in the first place.
Dead Himmler, as always you have no idea what you are talking about and you shouldn't talk about integrity. You been on Worker Comp for months for a finger while conducting a side business. THAT is FRAUD and that is why MTA is such a mess because of MTA workers like you.
leave the american criminal liberties union out of this
So true. After Siegel took the helm, the ACLU became all about him.
After years of membership in the ACLU, I quit rather than pay for publicity for Siegel.
thefact ever support ACLU? probably when he was in a drunk stumper
Stuper...even stammer, maybe, is the word you are looking for.
Stupor?
one word: whoopie-fuckin-doo-dah.
i like that word.
"Well, easy for him to say; he doesn't have to generate news content in August."
Heh. Well said, John.
Is liking guns illegal now?!?
no but Bill DeBlasio relationship with the working family and how he uses he wife to appeal to black votes and now photoshopping his daughter's picture is questionable.
I like bill delblasio, didn't know he married a black woman. time to take out the NYC t-shirt with a gun on it.
she was just showing support for our 2nd amendment rights. she's a patriot!
Councilman Bill de Blasio (D-Brooklyn), one of six public-advocate candidates this year, took in $8,000 from billboard companies a few days after he called on the city to ease the reins at a City Hall press conference, campaign records show.

Oh look everybody! Felix the turdmaster has a new target! I guess there are only so many stupid comments one can make about a single politician.
wow, nothing gets pass you except a date.
and my comment are factual on Quinn and Bloomberg but people like you have your heads up your ass. We get the govt that we vote and unfortunately too many people are uninformed and close minded to see the truth.

hotstopper, you support animal cruelty and your mother failed terribly with you. Maybe I excuse her since she was probably a crackhead.
fuckin' trollllllllllll
It's called retouching not airbrushing, time to ditch your rotary phone too.
As long as Photoshop and pretty much every other graphics app continues to use the name airbrush tool, it'll be called airbrushing.
Actually they most likely used either the clone stamp or the healing tool. So no airbrushing.

This is a ridiculous non-story. Really absurd.
I refer you to the last line in the post.
I wish that girl was over 14 so I could say what I really want to say.

Oh, run for mayor already, Felixthecat2! Put it on your Holier Than Thou Platform campaign and spare some comment space for the rest of us.
You used your space for that comment? LOL. What do you have against facts and information? A well informed society .......
I'm sorry but "airbrushed"? What is this, 1952?
If you can use airbrush, then you can just say Photoshopped®.
Trademarks are not verbs.
CORRECT: The image was enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software.
INCORRECT: The image was photoshopped.
From http://www.adobe.com/misc/trade.html.
When Bill first took office, he used his Hillary connections to actually do some good for the district. But, once he lost out to Quinn he's been a real dick. His office response sucks, he panders to anyone with a fat checkbook and just seems to have lost his moral center.
He is at heart a well intentioned man, but its a clear example of how NYC and NYS politics steals your soul.
Bill go get a job with Obama in Washington, you know you want to, and you'd be good at it you ARE a wonk.
And anyone know the West Wing trivia involving Bill?
He's a schmuck. And his real name is Jake Wilhelm. (That's not some sort of "Mad Men" reference, it's the truth.)
Dig that holster...
win
I used to have hair like his son. That flew away..with my libido.
While they were at it they should have airbrushed the wrinkles out of his son's shirt. Sheesh! Somebody get that kid an iron.
True he had 2 mailings that we received
last week ,one was designed for the African
American voters with his African-American wife all
over the flyer & bi-racial kids
The other flyer for White voters showed diBlasio only with white people along with smaller pix of a few possible white hispanic's...cool!
Whatever.
