"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."

What a straight line.

[smokingfrog]

Stay home in your NYC apt. Tommy boy.

[Paladin2]

Dear Tom,

Be polite.

Don't be spouting anti-Constitutional rhetoric and you'll be fine.

[jessduntno]

What a straight line.

Seriously. I would be nervous going into ANY bar if I was that wuss. Especially with HIM!

[JerseyHighlander]

He’s spent his entire adult life as a professional propagandist and agitator and is now just realizing he might not be able to walk amongst his agitated victims.

Good for Tom’s sense of survival instinct!

Tom Brokaw Praises Sheriff Dupnik For Remarks Against Violent Rhetoric, Wishes More Would Speak Out "

By Matt Hadro | January 10, 2011 | 18:45

[Excerpt] Appearing on Monday's "Morning Joe" on MSNBC, former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw praised Sheriff Dupnik of Pima County, Ariz. for condemning political vitriol, and wished more officials would follow suit. Dupnik, a Democrat, blamed violent political rhetoric in part for the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), and singled out conservatives Sarah Palin and Sharron Angle for instances of unacceptable hate speech.

Brokaw thought officials have been "timid" in their criticism of violent political speech, in the wake of Saturday's shooting. "The Pima County Sheriff is not," he continued. "He is speaking out, and too few others have because they're worried about retribution." [End Excerpt]

Never knew Tom Lockjaw liked to go cruising.

Who’s got that graphic with the Army guy smiling and holding a big ol’ cup of SHUT UP?? This one’s for you, Tommy! Like you ever go to bars in the first place, you elitist liberal, you!

Brokaw: 'I Would Be Nervous Going Into A Bar' In Arizona...but I'd be drunk as a skunk coming out.

What a putz!

Brokaw: 'I Would Be Nervous Going Into A Bar' In Arizona...

OK, Dude, two things:

1) If you're going to criticize, at least go to the trouble to learn the particulars of the law.

2) Bwahahahaha! My plan for Brokaw-free libation is WORKING!

Brokaw: 'I Would Be Nervous Going Into A Bar' In Arizona...

I doubt he'd be welcome, anyway.

[Vendome]

Seems pretty safe to me. Keeps everyone friendly.

[VeniVidiVici]

Wonder if Brokaw would say the same thing about Vermont? Don’t tell me. He’s only scared of Western cowboys. Northeastern lesbians carrying he’s comfortable with.

[shibumi]

Don't worry about Arizona Tommy.

I'll personally take you to a couple of bars near my neighborhood. It's a quiet little area on the Southeast side of Chicago, known to the locals as just "The East Side." You know - where "Fast Eddie" Vrodolyak hails from.

Guns are illegal in Chicago, and almost no one gets a carry permit. What could be safer?

(Just try not to make eye contact with any of the guys with crowns, teardrops or the number "13" tattooed on their faces and every thing will be hunky-dorry.)

[Candor7]

Why would Tommy be nervous? HAs he been a bad boy unpatriotic little dweeb? Is he worried someone is going to call him on his previous conduct?

Buahahahahahaha!

Stay home Tommy, and let the men of America rise to run our country.

Isn’t Timmy, err, I mean Tommy Brokaw from South Dakota? I recall that he did time in Los Angeles. too reporting the news with his lisp or speech impediment.

Now he’s skeered to go to Arizona?

B.S. He’s just mouthing elite, snobbery, balderdash.

[TaMoDee]

I got it -— He would be more comfortable going to bars where they wear “tool” belts rather than gun belts!

[Karliner]

Brokaw’s just bummed, no gay bars in AZ.

Brokaw: ‘I Would Be Nervous Going Into A Bar’ In Arizona...’

Probably ought to lay off the booze anyway, then.

[BykrBayb]

Arizona. Check.

Now how do we keep him out of the other 57 or so states?
