Anthony Bourdain: Guns and Green Chile

He may have had a momentary lapse where he kind of came off like he was trying to be open, honest and reasonable about this issue, but just give him a couple days and he'll come out with something obnoxiously elitist and lefty to make up for it. He sounded like this several years ago when Uncle Ted invited him out for a BBQ and shoot ... but then days later he went all NYC Leftard and bagged on his gracious host and the gun culture in general.

That said, if this piece is all you ever read or heard from the schmuck I could see where you might think he was a nice guy and more open minded than your typical NYC Leftard. Only he's not ... he's worse because he pretends he's open minded until he runs into his asshole friends in Manhattan and they give him shit for not engaging in the proper propaganda attacks on us bumpkins in flyover country and then he badmouths the very people that were so nice to him and shared their food and ammo with him. FU Tony you miserable POS.

Then he went on and on and on about how wonderful the Castro Brothers and their little Caribbean island paradise was.

Isn't this article a few years old? I swear I've read this thread and most of the responses well over a year ago. Perhaps I'm going crazy...

Those two statements say it all, he has a sense of superiority and entitlement.

Hell, I would like to be the only one armed. Then I have the upper hand if the need arises. The government has already done this. We are restricted from owning many things so we never have a upper hand. The only thing we have is numbers

I love that guys show. No Reservations is awesome.

I like the show (No Reservations) but it's hard to listen to his leftist views on everything.

I think that's kinda part if his shtick. I never really paid attention to his political ideology other than his total affinity for European culture. It doesn't bother me. He's also a New Yorker at heart and that's a diferent beast altogether. I don't like it when he gets all emotional about eating a piece of cheese but it's pretty awesome when he's drinking and partying in the desert southwest with retired rockers.

Never trust a chef that smokes..

Agreed. Alton is a good ol' boy from Georgia, not your NYC/LA liberal. He rides a motorcycle, enjoys shooting and he makes his own bacon.

Speaking of, anyone else going to see Alton here in COS in February besides me? I think I have row 4 tickets....

I like Bourdains shows, based on his shows, his commentaries and his books he strikes me as a guy that is simply a liberal only because he is sick of the anti-gay, anti-abortionists and bible bangers that make up the right. I know a good number of people like that, take away the preaching and they would likely vote for the right.
