"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," Tom Brokaw said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

He’d be perfectly safe if only he’d learn he’s supposed to wear pants under his chaps.
Nobody replied? or made a similar comment? I'm surprised.
Juan Williams says he nervous getting on a plane with Muslims, and he's fired from NPR.
Tom Brokaw says he's nervous going to a restaurant in Arizona (presumably with white people clinging to their guns), and he's lauded.
Maybe Brokaw thinks that conservatives are more of a threat to him than Muslims.

I was too. I guess it's MSM deficit disorder. ;-)
More seriously, working off such symbologies is the media's stock and trade. I thought it calculated both to discount concerns about Islam and portray 'those seemingly placid, but in reality backward violent cowboy conservatives down in Arizona' on an equal footing with 'peaceable Muslims, wrongly portrayed as terrorists.' In short, it was a vicious slur on conservatives by Brokaw that ignores the reality of Islam and its terrorist doctrines. It was purely bigoted in origin.
Glenn Beck doing his impersonation of Brokejaw today had me in tears!!!!
“Maybe Brokaw thinks that conservatives are more of a threat to him than Muslims.”
I’m sure that is true, and apparently Arizona conservatives are among the worst.
Conservatives should fire Brokaw, by refusing to watch or listen to him, and never repeat anything he says. That’s one way MSM makes ideas disappear, it works both ways. There’s more of us than them.
What an idiot.
I'm certain that Tom would feel right at home meeting these fine chaps in the Arizona dessert.
Um, make that desert.

Don’t cruise bars Tom, you might be taken for a queer, or correctly identifed as one.
Poor widdle Tommy.
