A Liberal Masquerading As A Sports Writer

A Liberal Masquerading As A Sports Writer

I know I went off about Bob Costas and his inappropriate rant during Sunday Night Football last Sunday. I still think he is backwards in his thinking, but I give him props for going on O’Reilly’s show last night doing his best to explain.

But the sports writer Bob paraphrased is Jason Whitlock and he is a complete and utter buffoon. I have never seen anyone spout such racially biased blather and is completely unaware that he does it.
A few quotes from his latest column.

Bob Costas quoted and paraphrased my ancillary point during a courageous halftime commentary on NBC’s “Sunday Night Football.” He infuriated the right-wing entertainment media and gave Bill O’Reilly and his disciples the opening to pretend the Second Amendment is under some sort of serious attack. It is not. We just finished a hotly contested election cycle, and not one political candidate that I can think of uttered a single meaningful word about gun violence, gun control, gun culture and the outdatedness of the justification for the Second Amendment.

There were bigger fish to fry you idiot, gun control is a liberal dream, even if it is not front and center in an election cycle and Obama is trying to get the moderate vote.

 

This issue is so dead in this country that the flag-waving, right-wing entertainment media have to drag up a non-political, non-voting sports columnist and a talented sports broadcaster as their straw men to justify their phony outrage. I don’t think I’ll be called before the Senate to speak on any toothless gun-control legislation the NRA lobby lets slip through a crack.

For being a “non-political, non-voting sports columnists”, you certainly express your feelings favoring the left on social issues that, if you don’t vote ….you should shut the fuck up. FOX Sports should boot your ass.

I’m a grown-ass man and it’s 2012. I don’t have to shuffle off to the Big House when summoned. O’Reilly is not Boehner, Pelosi or Obama. He’s a TV entertainer who has spent the weeks after the election crying about the end of “white establishment” America, the end of the days when an upstanding white man felt entitled to summon whomever he wanted whenever he wanted to the Big House to dance.

 Chicken shit. It would be pretty easy to blow your cover as a closet liberal spewing your point of view as a “sports writer”. Your from Chicago for hell’s sake, you know you have an Obama bumper sticker.

I believe we should re-examine our love affair with guns. They don’t protect us from tyranny. Guns are toys in America. Guns are a dangerous hobby. Guns are a macho accessory, no different from a shiny sports car.

We can’t see this or even have a discussion about it because the propaganda-political-lobby-machine, the NRA, has hoodwinked America into believing handguns make us safer. The NRA, like the KKK, has brainwashed us through fear and division.

Yeah, I trust this guy.
