Bloggers are taking New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to task, accusing him of hypocrisy for pushing strict gun control onto Americans but simultaneously seeking gun-carry exemptions for his security detail when he travels to Bermuda, where firearms are largely prohibited.

not having read the article I can assure you he stands guilty as accused

[zapfbroad]

he's just another in the line of the plutocratic oligarchy sermonizing to the sheep what They must do while these people get richer.

Not sure why this would surprise anyone. Pelosi, Feinstein, et al do this. Bloomberg is just another link in a long line of hypocrites.

[BrasilNuts]

Didn't you know they are more important than we are?

They have important work to do, like saving us from ourselves, saving the planet from us, and keeping our children safe from guns and sugary drinks.

All kidding aside, if I were one of them, doing what they are doing to the people, I'd want guards with firearms too.

I believe it's only a matter of time.

Mayor Bloomberg needs mental help.

Lets see: ban on salt,ban on large soda, ban on Styrofoam, ban on cigarettes in view, must list calories on food, 

now ban on guns, yes he needs mental help.

Nothing worse than a rich mental patient!

The only thing larger than bloomberg's bank account is his ego. Best thing I can say about him is he'll go to his grave just like the rest us......leaving every thing behind.

Bloomberg needs armed security.  There is absolutely no doubt about that.  

 

Anyone who does the stupid stuff he does is going to have a lot of enemies.  I don't blame him for wanting armed people protecting him.

Lol, I agree. He is hated by a lot of people. That's what happens when you think you are God just because you have lots of money. People are getting sick of him trying to dictate their lives.

I'm not sure the majority of people in NY state, and NY city as well as the people of this country are ready for Governors, Mayors, and even Presidents telling them what they can eat, what they can say, telling them they have to pay their fair share, what cars to drive, how to raise their kids, and how to protect themselves without guns. Yep, this country is not ready for commie dictators just yet.

[Mike.357]

if his constituents aren't ready for all of that how does he get re-elected?  I am pretty sure he is fairly popular in NYC

[Guest carter]

I have no idea how these people get elected... just like Marion Berry... i guess if we all start doing coke and buying hoes... we can be in the click  :shrug:
