Bloomhole is a moron.

[MrB]

We didn’t take him literally, but liberally. Typical Liberal Behavior...

Perhaps some of us took him dummassedly, but I repeat myself.

[VRWC For Truth]

Just RESIGN Bloombooger, you f’n Socialist gonad.

[USNBandit]

If all the police went on strike, in some cities those assault weapons would be all people had to protect themselves.

[Sir Napsalot]

So now it is our fault to take your words ‘literally’?

Next time you say something, the rest of us should just ignore you, um, Mister Mayor?

[DesertRhino]

It actually happened in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1975. citizens work guns. Crime virtually ended for that 10 days. Criminals knew they were dead,,and that no cops would arrive to save them.

[BCR #226]

If he didn’t mean it, he wouldn’t have said it.

[DesertRhino]

That should read, citizens wore guns.

[MrB]

Only a liberal would think that this was logical:

OK, so you people aren’t clamoring for gun control,
so we should create a situation in which you absolutely need your guns to protect yourself
until you clamor for the government to remove that means of protecting yourself.

[SERE_DOC]

This idiot has the likeability of a colon polyp, and the iq of dirt.

[fish hawk]

Bloomberg, a graduate from Joe Biden College. Potential leftist VP.

[Responsibility2nd]

Mayor BloomingIdiot is trying to walk back his comments.

What a ‘swipe.

[EyeGuy]

Bloomberg has gone WAY past RINO, blown the doors off “moderate Democrat”, and is now nothing less than a full blown elitist, hypocritical, double-standard, Commie aszwipe.

[Dr. Pritchett]

Let ‘em strike. It’ll be a lot cheaper and many of us can take care of ourselves. The city will just miss out on all that ticket revenue.

[libstripper]

You’ve suffered a classical “spellchecker assisted grammatical error,” altogether too similar to many of mine.

[USMCPOP]

Bloomberg: “I was for it before I was against it. But I didn’t really say that myself.”

[DesertRhino]

Sigh, so true.

[basil]

One can never “unsay” what one has said.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Yeah. Sure. We took his words “out of context.”
