...the first responders on 9/11 who went into those buildings knowing, by the way, they weren't going to come out. I don't think so. They knew there was a chance they wouldn't come out (there always is). However, if they knew for a fact it was a suicide mission, they would reevaluate and find another way. You don't sacrifice the living to save the dead.

"In our first edition of Hardball tonight we had a Senator on, former Senator John Edwards on, who said that once these people in the east, in the Islamic world, get to know us personally, understand our character -- our good character as he said -- they wouldn't hate us so much, they wouldn't want to commit suicide to hurt us.Talk about not getting it.

I don't have a problem with what he said. He used a poor analogy, but it seems like much ado...
To: fight_truth_decay
I read the other thread without seeing the conversation in context. In no way do I think Brian Williams was trying to equate Seals and Rangers with terrorists. The words were poorly chosen, but I do believe he meant that we have men and women willing to give their life to defend and protect us.

The man is sooo dumb! What could he have been thinking to use such an analogy.
Talk about empty suits.......FGS!

I was referring to Williams, but Edwards is vying for title of absolutely dumbest man in America.

Chris Matthews noted how they lived for years amongst Westerners and yet "having gotten to know us, they want to kill themselves to hurt us. Isn't that an even deeper conundrum here than the chemicals being used in these attacks?" WilliamsThese people are insular and live among their own communities. They are not assimilated into our culture.

Liberalism is truly a Mental Disorder!
Brian, Our soldiers will put their lives on the line to protect a comrade or civilian or our country but never put on civilian clothes, strap bombs to themselves, walk into a cafe' and blow up innocent men, women and children.

Sacrificing your life to TAKE life is the opposite of offering to sacrifice yourself to SAVE life.

Wasn't Williams the one who last year compared our founding fathers with terrorists?

The kindest thing to say about Williams' statement is that it was certainly bungled. There are any number of stories in our history about our warriors willingly giving their lives in sacrifice to this nation, but there are none about our warriors blowing themselves up to kill women and children.

I have a big problem with the (at the very least) ignorance of the progressive socialist media who can only interview each other to produce the news slanted their way.
He knew exactly what he said and why he said it. These people abhor the military - as do their dnc masters.

Brian Williams is an asshat.

once these people in the east, in the Islamic world, get to know us personally, understand our character -- our good character as he said -- they wouldn't hate us so much... Exactly, if we just show those people how we celebrate homosexuality, feminism, lewd and sacrilegious art, Hollywood's profanity and perverse sexuality, they'd just start loving and respecting us.....
