Sunday Night Football anti-gun sermon

Not open for further replies.
Mike Lupica put out some of this same crap on Imus this morning, and pretty much got shut down.

The problem is not the guns, it's the sick people.
 
From now on I will just watch Faith Hill's intro and then turn it off. Lately, the games have been pretty lackluster anyway.
 
Wilbon on PTI today echoed the same sentiment. He basically gave Costa kudos. I hate it. I like PTI.
 
He said today he was misunderstood... He thinks hunters should have a gun? He is only opposed to people who too many guns. He wants resonable laws to stop people from having an arsenel of weapons in their basement? Oh, yes he believes in the 1st Amendment. People need to turn this guy off.:rolleyes:
 
Costas seems out of control. This happens to people who get too full of themselves. Hopefully he doesn't have any guns at home. At least his family is safe from being shot. Out of control people do out of control things.
 
So the pro football player could not kill her without a gun? Give me a break. If she had the gun, she would be alive.

NBC spokesman Greg Hughes says,"In a short (on-air) time period he can cover only one aspect of a complicated issue. So he quoted (columnist Jason Whitlock) about the gun culture and an almost Wild West attitude in parts of this country. He is pro-sensible gun reform and pro-attitude adjustment on guns."

Gee, that sounds so much better... :rolleyes:
 
Call or email NBC

I didn't see the broadcast but have seen his comments on the news. Call and let NBC know that his editorializing his not acceptable and the he should comment on football only. Advise that if an apology is not issued you will not be watching future broadcasts that he is on. Let them know that you feel he abused his position in airing the comments. You might let them know you are prepared to contact their advertisers and advise you are not going to watch the show unless action is taken. Loss of revenue from the advertisers will speak louder than we can.a
 
They're scrambling in response to the pressure, which means we need to increase the pressure. The confusing muddle of spin and half truths are the first step of the extreme position of a celebrity being disavowed.

Ask Mr. Costas and NBC if they'd have denied Ms. Perkins the right to own a firearm in the face of the violent behavior of her murder? Ask them if they'd deny all women the right to own a firearm in the face of their abusers, rapists and murders? Ask them if they'd deny the hundreds of thousands of people that use a firearm to stop a violent crime each year the right to own a firearm? Ask them how much they're going to spin this fumble on NBC's and Mr. Costas's part before they admit the liability of the position they took and apologize to the American public.

This "gun culture" BS the antis spew is rather comical. I doubt very seriously Blecher was big into "gun culture"...which is more likely to describe those of us on this board. Adherence to safety and acting responsible is a big part of "gun culture"

Gun culture isn't causing these violent crimes. Gun culture is preventing the antis from winning. That is why they are mad. They are not mad that the crimes are being committed, they are mad that they can't get their way, because "gun culture" is standing in their way.

The more they talk about it, the more idiotic they sound. Every day they prove to me that gun control isn't about guns...it is about control.
 
I think we need to add Jason Whitlock and Fox Sports to the list of folks that need to hear from us! Does anybody have contact information for Fox Sports?
 
When he was working for KMOX Radio in St. Louis, he was referred to as "young Bobby Costas" when his fellow on-air personalities were the late Bob Hardy and the late Jack Carney. He was/is good at what he does and he should stick to that!
I won't say that he should lose his job for putting his foot in his mouth so thoroughly but there should be some kind of repurcussions. Problem is, being NBC out of NYC - ain't gonna happen!

Ask any LEO who has been assigned to his security detail, and they'll agree with you 100%. Look up "Short mans syndrome" in the dictionary and you'll find Costas picture.;)

If anyone is still operating under the flawed assumption that Bill O'Reilly is one of the good-guys in this argument, his show last night should have ended that fantasy. I'm going to paraphrase as best I can.

He was talking about the penalties that people should face when they commit any gun crime, including being caught with an "illegal gun." He said that once you've been through the proper training, received a permit to purchase a gun, and received your "papers" to own a gun that if you were caught with a gun without your "papers" then you go to prison.

Um, Bill. The only "paper" I need to own a gun or an arsenal is called the Constitution. I don't need "papers" to exercise my first amendment rights to freedom of speech or freedom of religion (yet).

I'm looking for a link to a transcript or video of that segment, but I haven't found it yet.

Maybe those of us who own guns should have to wear some sort of symbol of a gun on our shirt as well. That will make it easier for them to round us up when they want to outlaw guns
 
I just listened to the Whitlock radio interview and he literally called the NRA the new KKK and blamed us for arming gangs as if it were some genocidal conspiracy. That sort of rhetoric hasn't been heard for a long long time.
