Dan Rather disparaging guns in Stillwater

Without further context, I'm not seeing the disparaging portion. Just statements of fact.
 
Well, he did specifically note that he could not tell if they were lawmen. I took that as implying only law enforcement should be allowed to open-carry.

Ok, it is the Original King of Fake News Dan Rather so we must filter this appropriately to discern the truth.

Cowboy = Nerds from the Computer Science Department

Guns on their hip = Fanny packs with sunscreen, chapstick, and bottled water. It's hot outside.
 
calling attention to it for no purpose plus given his public leftist stance allows his followers to fill in the blanks.

read the comments cans perhaps his intention will be clearer.
There are some ignorant people out there.

Those guys were just taking a lunch break from finding evidence that G.W. Bush did not serve in the national guard. Bet Rather feels pretty stupid now.

Here in San Fransisco at Big Schwangs for some sausage.
Next table over a man is getting blown. Not by a woman, best I can tell. Another man.
You need to see the #HuffPoIntheHeartland stuff in another thread. You are spot on with this post lol

He and I assume his grandson are traveling the country and Dan commented how great the middle of the country is. Watch the video.
 
I'm a little late to this fest, but:

l. WhatTF is "Smokey Pokey", and why wasn't the dumbass at Joe's?

2. How would a douche nozzle polishing, liberal media, lying POS, have a f*cking clue as to what local "cow men" even look like?

To steal a song from Insatiable, "suck it faster Dan, suck it as fast as you can...."

Looks like it is that restaurant in the gas station out on 51 and 35.
 
Look up disparaging...

sorry. are you not nuanced enough to understand disparagement when it's not overt? or does your political loyalty extend beyond an obvious cultural attack on your alma mater's home town? priorities.

let me spell it out for you. he's not going to come out and say what he can infer and get his twitter followers to say for him. he made an (probably false) observation which had no point other than to draw attention to the inferred backwards flyover culture that allows such anachronisms as free men with guns on their hips.

Spot on. I used to work in NYC among the pretentious, east coast liberal elitist crowd. They have open disdain for the vast majority of white people in this country and view them as backwards hicks.

Dan Rather probably wouldn't have the nads to say the same thing about South Chicago and then walk around there. Just a tad more shooting deaths in the Windy City than in Stillwater.

So your saying snide not disparaging? Again lookup disparaging - it is a real word. It has a distinct meaning.
 
ok. since your stated objection is to a misdefined word, I'll take your implicit lack of of objection to my explanation and ask you... what word would you like me to use?
Snarky, or maybe as previously suggested snide.

Personally, it was an observation. Defensive types might try to make it into something more.

Or people with a different perspective than you. Given the broader context surrounding Rather, politics as a part of every single thing in modern times, and his choice of phrasing, I don't see where "defensive types" is that accurate.

Also, there's simply no need to label, if you're attempting to have an amiable conversation. Labeling is a symptom of ineffective listening or simple apathy.

Sorry, did you say something....

Serious point: remove Dan Rather and ask 10 friends to ascribe motivation to that comment - curious what you would get. With such a neutral comment, the bias of the viewer is pretty much the deciding factor in how you view it. My bias obviously shows as well...
