Columnist Who Inspired Bob
Costas Drops New Bomb:
´The NRA Is the New KKK´

NewsBusters, by Tim Graham

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 12/3/2012 2:30:52 PM

Kansas City sportswriter Jason Whitlock loves to stoke controversy. So after he blamed Jovan Belcher´s murder-suicide on the "gun culture" -- inspiring NBC Sports lecturer Bob Costas -- in an interview with Roland Martin, he added fuel to the fire by claiming "the NRA is the new KKK." Apparently, black youths are "armed" by the NRA, and they´re also responsible for loading up black neighborhoods with drugs: WHITLOCK: Sports gets so much attention, and people tune out the real world, that I try to take advantage of the opportunity

Comments:
Un.be.lievable! There is just no reason anymore in the media. It is just stunning to behold. I have to say the comments from Whitlock are shocking because he has been rather reasonable in the past.

This is just the start. Belcher didn´t murder his girlfriend and kill himself, whitey did it. White gun makers are flooding the inner cities with handguns to induce innocent youths to kill each other. It´s all racist! The usual suspects will soon be out in force, Reverend Al, Maxine the Mouth, Jesse Jackson, Oprah, et al.

The personal opinion of a sportswriter about complex or important issues is best ignored. I am not sure why these remarks are dignified by reporting them. Responding to them is a waste of time.

Uh, remember how all of us used to be the good guys? How we all lived by the teachings of God and the laws of our nation, at every level?

Yeah, we´ll all be in jail soon, for something. Doesn´t matter what..... could be for typing messages like this. Could be due to emails we send our, or our FB pages. Could be because somebody somewhere reported to the authorities that we did, or said, something they were offended by. Could even be because of our voter registrations.... they´ll be watching for us, and only us, to commit some new crime they just thought of.

Remember DHS missive concerning ´´domestic terrorists´´ as, basically, US? Did you know it had been updated?

Many years ago, this idiot was a sportscaster here in St Louis and didn´t know s*ht from shinola then either. I have no idea how he got picked up by the networks way back then. Plain and simple, he´s an idiot - - always was, always will be. Another lib who achieved well beyond his level of incompetence, and therefore thinks he is smart and has something of value to say.

Actually, after being defeated in the Civil War, southern Democrats stripped newly-freed blacks of their Second Amendment rights, right around the time that Democrats founded the Ku Klux Klan and began using it as their party´s domestic terrorism wing.

Jason Whitlock and Bob Costas are just about the most ignorant, arrogant, witless pieces of excrement you could ever run across.

The NRA doesn´t promote gun violence, drug use or gang membership. Those cultural poisons are peddled largely by black popular culture.

#3: Sadly, probably so. Ride this horse ´til it drops or a better one comes along.

#9: "Pretty and young-looking" always trumps competence and intelligence in the media world. Some network-type thought that applied to Costas back when.

#10: Costas is getting far more attention today than usual. He´s probably very happy.

And why don´t you run with that thought next Sunday night, Boob Costas!

Seriously, I like the NFL, but in the wake of these dramatic and shocking deaths, I think little Bob Costas in his own clever way was trying to deflect the immediate spotlight away from serious NFL problems, like the prevalence drugs and violence.

Well played #21. Indeed the gun control movement in this nation shares the same roots at the KKK, limiting the power and freedom of the freed former slaves.

What freightens me is how the big lies have been repeated enough to prove the "big lie" theory. We have droves of brainwashed masses that accept this drivel.

"There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.”—Booker T.

I was wondering how long it would be after the so-called election for the left to come out swinging against the 2nd amendment.

I was actually surprised it took them this long. The NFL shooting was an instant trigger for them. So far, not one single word about the "Roid Rage" effect of all the gallons of steroids these super athlete millionaires inject. Well, I am seeing lines drawn in the sand now. Take away guns from law abiding whities and leave the "Hood" thugs well armed- they the tough ones, best be leavin´ dem folks alone! White boys are easy.

A lot of words about guns hereabouts; all for naught because amoral people will kill with whatever they can lay their hands on.

A 20-something African American youth that never knew his father. His mother is working a minimum wage job at best, a crack addict at worst. He probably lives with his grandma or aunt as the State has taken custody away from his biological mother. He watches the glorification of violence, the drug culture, subjugation of women, theft and the squandering of money and his freedom from hip hop videos, Hollywood movies and the NBA. In other words today´s pop culture. He has multiple tattoos paying tribute to his multiple children with multiple mothers. He is a low level drug dealer selling $20 bags of crack and marijuana. In a deal gone bad in the abandoned house he is squatting, he shoots another 20 something with a similar background.

It is the 2nd Amendment and the NRA´s fault.

Right.

I hollered at the TV during the halftime when Costas went on his anti-2nd amendment soapbox quoting Whitlock, who in the past had commented intelligently about the culture of violence in the NBA particularly.

He was quite adept at being a punk pos. Of course, it´s much harder beating yourself to death, but all Belcher had to do was to walk in the wrong areas of KC and flash a wad of cash and some jewelry around and his bro´s woulda taken care of beating him to death.

This is easy Jason. I could say YOU are a racist using your position in the media to encourage laws that will result in more rapes, robberies and murders of innocent Americans. You don´t protect innocent Americans by disarming them. You only make the streets safer for criminals. Why do you hate innocent Americans Jason? If you are really concerned about inner city gun crime YOU ought to join the NRA and help them pressure Democrat mayors to use Project Exile which requires a minimum 5 year sentence in a federal prison out of the area for a gun crime. YOUR Democrat mayors resist this plan and instead dismiss or plea bargain away gun crimes. That fact is easily verified. So, shut your ignorant mouth and do something to help stop gun violence instead of encouraging rape, robbery and murder.

Lord Bell said: "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning." Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later.

Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.”

Outraged parents said some students at Coelho Middle School in Attleboro cried when they were told by a worker for the district´s food service provider they could not eat on Tuesday because they couldn´t pay or their pre-paid accounts were short on funds. The on-site director for the company, Whitsons Culinary Group of Islandia, N.Y., was placed on administrative leave by
