'Inane' To Think Armed Citizen Can Make a Difference

[Jaguar]

I would like to take credit for this one, but I found it on Neil Boortz's web site today.

Mika Brzezinski is the co-host on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program. Yesterday she was delivering the news about the shooting in Colorado over the weekend, the one where Jeanne Assam stopped a killer wielding a rifle using only her handgun. After Mika delivers the news story her co-host, Joe Scarborough, says that this story shows that one person with a gun can make a difference. Mika responds with "Oh gosh no, no, no, – no no no no no no no" and then follows with "You know, that is the most inane statement I have ever heard." You can watch the video here.

How can she sit there and say that? In one breath she says "yes, yes she did" in reply to the statement that [Jeanne] saved hundreds of lives, and in the next breath she says that it is "inane" to say one person with a gun can make a difference. Is Mika saying that saving hundreds of lives makes no difference?

I am speechless. :banghead:

 

[Javelin]

Well their ignorance is only matched by their lack of intelligence

 

[buttrap]

I think I will add that person to my idiot list.

I think I will add that gal to my idiot list.

For the sake of the forests, please do not keep that list on paper.

Well there is part of your answer. They don't come more left-wing/liberal and anti-gun then that bunch.

After Mika delivers the news story her co-host, Joe Scarborough, says that this story shows that one person with a gun can make a difference. Mika responds with "Oh gosh no, no, no, – no no no no no no no" and then follows with "You know, that is the most inane statement I have ever heard."

Of course. She is in total shock. The anti-gun line is that only... ONLY... the police and military services are competent to have guns. The rest of us? well we could never cut it, so for our own safety (and think of the children - don't forget them) we must restrict, or better yet, prohibit ordinary people from having such dangerous things.

Then an "ordinary lady" with a handgun stops a mass killer with an assault weapon dead in his tracks... and saves a whole bunch of lives... If this is allowed to happen their whole position goes up in smoke.

Better that a hundred or more people had been killed so that they could blame "gun violence," then to have this happen.

If you want common sense and logic, why are you watching MSNBC???

It really is incredible that those astatements were made in that order. I really wonder whether folks really stop and think when they make statements like that. It certainly is curious to see but hardly surprising.

 

[The_Shootist]

Ha!

Another good reason why I only watch Fox News.

 

[goon]

Does it really suprise you?
Who cares?
You know it makes a difference and so do I.
It might make a difference for one of us someday (God forbid it).
But it certainly won't for her.
I actually feel kind of sorry for her - she just sort of identified herself as an easy target that lacks the will or ability to resist.

 

[Lucky]

Ok guys, could I ask a question:

Who do you write positive emails to?

That Joe Scarborough guy deserves serious credit and if he gets more hate mail than good it'll be one less positive voice.

I agree with you about MSNBC, but Joe Scarborough is actually pretty good. I guess he qualifies as MSNBC's token conservative. I don't watch them that often so there could be others.

Mika Brzezinski's comments, of course, totally fly in the face of reality. I guess that's why she's a liberal.

Fuff...I think it's already smoldering. Jeanne Assam...in one brief, suspended, terrible moment has caused the left's position to go down in flames, and many fence-sitters...and even anti-2A proponents have had a light switch turned on. Her actions that day have laid waste to their entire argument. I can only hope that the next cretin who decides to "Go out in a Blaze" runs into another one just like her.

Furthermore...I hope that if and when it happens again...that it's a woman who saves the day. That would demonstrate not only that a woman can do battle with an armed man and prevail...as long as she has the means at her fingertips...it may prompt other women to obtain sidearms and learn to use them...and carry them.

Yes, America. One armed citizen can make a difference...and if one can make that difference...a hundred thousand of'em in a city the size of Chicago or New York or Los Angeles could probably make'em some of the safest, most polite cities in the US.

If guns make to difference, I demand that the police in her neighborhood be disarmed at once. The doormen and security at her building in New York City be disarmed as well.

I want a "no guns for good guys" rule enforced around her in a 500 yard radius.

 

[ellswj]

I bet she might feel differently if she would've been one of those people that was part of the crowd saved by that women!!

 

[Hokkmike]

She is as cute as a button and thinks like one to. A perfect example of the dumb blonde. It used to take some acumen to be a tv/radio announcer. Now it only requires looks or celebrity status. She has her position and the facts will not sway her from it. Either that or she is terribly worried about being PC and saying something that she thinks might cost her her job.

That smacks of the old Soviet Union where you couldn't deviate from the current party line. Chorny Vorren (Black Crow - nickname for the black KGB cars that pick ups up enemies of the state at 2 am) enforced the lack of free speech there.

 

[Standing Wolf]

How can she sit there and say that?

People who believe lies retell them.

Zbigniew Brzezinski

Don't forget her daddy is Zbigniew Brzezinski, a Carter leftover. Apparently her Democratic paternal instincts were inherited. The masses are to be “taken care of” and not free to care for themselves as they are not capable or responsible enough to own a firearm. I do like Scarborough; he seems to have an even keel on most issues. Mika is liberal fluff and the other guy is well….the other guy.

 

[subierex]

I would expect nothing less than an emotion-driven comment like that from a talking head.

 

[Waitone]

There are none so blind as those who WILL to not see.

 

[Rich K]

You can lead a horse to water, but cannot make him drink.
You can lead a liberal to the truth, but cannot make them think.
If she admits that Jeanne Assam did indeed save kives with her ccw piece, and that an armed citizen CAN make a difference, it would just destroy the plastic little world she lives in.
We can't have that now, can we?

 

[Deanimator]

A certain percentage of anti-gunners not only don't believe that regular people can defend themselves, they HOPE they can't.

They're cowards, and cowards want everyone else to be cowards so that they won't stand out. They believe that the only permissible self-defense is herd statistics. If the "lion" picks somebody else that's ok. If he picks YOU, you have a duty to be lunch. Any active defense beyond running away is "unnatural".

 

[RNB65]

Who watches MSNBC???

 

[MilsurpShooter]

Another just going on emotion rather then fact

 

[Deanimator]

Who watches MSNBC???

I enjoy "To Catch a Predator". I enjoy seeing stupid, evil people get humiliated. It's the next best thing to "Victory at Sea".
