It's far too complex an issue for him to wrap his talking head around
Former news "icon" Tom Brokaw displays his elite liberal bias while cluelessly expounding upon a topic about which he apparently knows absolutely nothing:
"Gun control is too simple a phrase to define all the complications and nuances of it, frankly. In Arizona they have a wide open system. I would be nervous about going into a bar or restaurant in Arizona on a Saturday night where people can carry concealed without permits"
Mr. Brokaw presumably wouldn't bat an eye about going into the bar at a fancy ski resort in tony Vermont, which has the exact same "wide open system" and always has.
We imagine he would also quite look forward to a relaxing evening in a restaurant after a day of his beloved fly-fishing in, say, Alaska, which has the exact same "wide open system".
It certainly can be quite the arduous ordeal to take all of ten minutes to grasp the "complications and nuances" of this particular subject, so we certainly understand why this supposedly competent professional newsman doesn't even bother to try.

Reason and logic win the debate, as they always do
Our very good friend and fellow gun-rights activist Andrew Rothman was a featured guest on a Twin Cities newscast last night, and he did a fantastic job of taking the head of a local gun-control advocacy organization to school:
True story from back in the day, we were there - Andrew participated in a debate with Ms. Martens on the campus of the University of Minnesota in 2006. Upwards of 40 armed carry permit holders besides ourselves were in the audience, no doubt making the venue the safest college classroom in America that evening.
Heather, despite her oft-professed irrational fear of being in a room with icky and swoon-inducingly dangerous publicly-carried loaded firearms, saw no problem with having her husband and three-year-old daughter present in that very same audience.
One of two things must have been true that night - either she simply didn't give a fig about her family's safety (vanishingly unlikely) or she knew full well that she and her loved ones had nothing whatsoever to fear from those law-abiding citizens.
"When someone comes with malice in their heart and evil in their heart, to do that evil the tool isn't really relevant."
Well said, Andrew. Very well said indeed.

Who?
"Aaron Sorkin brands Sarah Palin TV show 'a snuff film'"
Because her show featured a hunt in which she shot a caribou.
"He described Palin as 'deranged', a 'witless bully' and a 'phony pioneer girl'."
Well, Mr. Sorkin, you're a crackhead who writes formulaic drivel that attempts to be creative propaganda but in reality only masquerades as quality entertainment.
Wow, cheap name-calling in the absence of a reasoned intellectual argument is really easy! Thanks for the tip, Crackie!

"Fun" with stereotypes
Liberal commentator Bill Maher had a knee-slappin' good time recently listing some supposedly "black" characteristics he thinks President Obama should demonstrate just because one of his parents happened to come from Africa:
Robert Byrd, that wily old Klansman, couldn't have stereotyped the President any better.
And we're supposed to be the racists?

Breathtaking stupidity
Admiral Willard deserves the highest praise for managing to keep a straight face during this farce of a hearing. We would have fallen out of our chairs with convulsive laughter at that complete idiot's worries about capsizing an island with too many people.
And yes, Representative Johnson was one of the freedom-sapping individuals who saw fit to impose President Obama's health care Ponzi scheme on the peasants.

Muckraker Television
An experiment in a new medium. Please forgive the muffled audio that occurs in the first minute or so of the clip, as we're still shaking out the production bugs. The dialogue during that period should nonetheless be understandable.
Constructive feedback would be much appreciated.
