Town Hall – by Cortney O’Brien
It’s graduation season and thanks to universities’ overwhelmingly tendency to choose liberal speakers over conservatives, college students are being fed a bunch of nonsense right before they enter the real world. The latest case in point: the University of Mississippi had the honor of having NBC’s Tom Brokaw lecture them on guns during last weekend’s commencement.
“I’m appalled by the determination of organizations and individuals to arm more people without any appreciation of the consequence of evermore lethal weapons in our midst,” he said. “More guns and more firearm tolerance will mean more homegrown acts of terror.”
“Yes, we have a constitutional right to own guns … but with that right comes a personal obligation to be on guard against the promiscuous use of guns (and) not to pretend that no limits means no trouble,” he said.
At least he admitted the Second Amendment exists?
This isn’t the first time Brokaw has pushed back against gun rights. In 2013, he said it was “far-reaching” for gun owners to claim their firearms are necessary for protection against a tyrannical government.
Brokaw is one of many liberal pundits invited to speak at graduations. Yet, surprisingly, some liberal politicians have offered some refreshing remarks about political correctness in their recent commencement speeches. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg criticized the presence of “safe spaces” during his speech at the University of Michigan earlier this month. He was booed for those remarks. Then, President Obama rebuked Rutgers University during his commencement address last weekend for silencing conservative viewpoints and scaring away Condoleezza Rice when she was invited to speak in 2014.
Since when did a college podium become a tool for political rhetoric? Shouldn’t these keynote speakers be focusing on encouraging graduates to “reach for the stars” and stuff? Note to keynoters: Save your talking points for cable news.
WELL, I HAD HEARD IN THE PAST THAT HE WAS A LIAR, NOW I HAVE LEARNED HES JUST A SORRY SUMBITCH.
Kool-aide drinking East Coast liberal moron showing his true self. Strange how that weapon-owning greatest generation didn’t have a terrorism problem. Many of those greatest has a weapon in their hand, learning marksmanship long before WWII, my Dad included. Now that most of them have passed, Brokaw can show his true colors. He USED their greatness to make a pile of money and now tosses their legacy aside. I wonder what kind of security he demands when he is a speaker…
No thats not how it goes.. this is how it goes–>Government taking away our firearms IS Terrorism
Damn is Brokaw an ass. Let’s see Tom, no guns in your posse as you travel around? “Oh, that’s different, I’s impotent!”
That explains why the Gov is a terrorist.
He’s a Toady.
Too bad this vial human is looking as sick and old like he’ll pass soon anyways, I say too bad, because we won’t get to see him step to the gallows when the time comes for real justice in our country….
