Bob Costas: My Armed Security Doesn't Make Me a Hypocrite on Guns
Breitbart ^ | 9 Mar 2014 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 03/10/2014 3:15:23 PM PDT by george76

On March 9th NBC's Bob Costas dismissed criticism of his having armed guards while disparaging "gun culture" by saying his guards were NBC and NFL security, not "personal" bodyguards.

He did this while being interviewed by Fox News's Howard Kurtz, who brought up Costas's December 2012 halftime criticism of "the NFL's gun culture."

Kurtz said, "You were accused of injecting politics into halftime, and Fox News's Greg Gutfeld said you were 'a hypocritical buffoon' because you're in New York, and you're surrounded by armed guards, and you don't have to worry about safety."

Dang man, this guy comes across as a genuinely nice guy, family guy, etc.

That's simply a ruse. Costas is a die-hard leftist.

What evidence do you have that Costas is a sodomite?

I didn't say he was, specifically. I'm saying that Costas has brought PC and other liberal agendas into sports. This atmosphere has enabled homos to come out of the woods. This time it's sports, next it's going to be NASCAR and hunting that liberals are going to whine that there's no gay hunters or race car drivers.

Uh no, not to the level where the guy you like so much, got on national television and proved he was a total hypocrite in front of a national audience. The AH got political and stuck both feet in his mouth. He's not only a hypocrite, but also a no nothing leftist.

Apparently it’s OK for someone else (NBC or the NFL) to hire a team of bodyguards, and for Costas to be the beneficiary.

Sure it does. The same way it does with the pope’s lack of “Faith” by riding in the pope-mobile.

Well, Bob, it sort of does. You are not middle class. Middle class people, poor too, can’t afford a team of armed security guards to protect them, on or off the job. They can’t send their kids to the posh private schools with armed guards. So they purchase guns to protect their own, themselves.

The guard that is hired to protect you today goes home tonight. He has a wife and some kids, and his house isn’t as secure as yours. Shouldn’t he use his service weapon if he had an intruder break in? Or is there a lock on his gun case that says “for protection of Mr. Costas only”?

I'm sorry about responding almost one week late, but your post was so filled with sharp logic exposing the hypocrisy of the typical limousine liberal that I had to comment. They're supposed to be egalitarians, but want to make personal security an expensive commodity not available to the non-privileged.

Thanks for recognizing my point. Isn’t it so true? It must be so easy to sit in one’s mansion and pontificate how those in shacks should live.
