ON Hardball NBC anchor Brian Williams was asked by Chris Matthews if it was suprising that British muslims that had been exposed to western values, and where even British citizens would still hate us so much they would be willing to give up their lives to kill us. What was Brian Williams pontification? He said "we have guys on our side like that too. They are called Army Rangers and Navy Seals."

What kind of mind would make that comparison. The question was what kind of hatered would overcome even a westernized muslin to want to die just to kill innocent people. Brian Williams had to go out of his way to too be too judgemental about terrorists and gave them the same moral equivalence as our Navy Seals and Army Rangers. This ought to be a hanging offence!

useless idiot.

[Howlin]

He was not.

They were discussing it in the context of "old war" versus "new world war," discussing how in these times, it's not like it use to be.

He didn't do it on purpose.

[Torie]

Ya, he clearly mispoke, and meant what you suggest. Williams is not a left wing nutter.

[OldFriend]

OFGS.........don't we have enough trouble without having Williams as one of our own! But at least that explains his evil thought process.

Oh, well that splains everything Lucy! I'm glad you are able to know what someone's motives are. You must know Brian Williams pretty good. Is he a relative or something?

I know an honest mistake when I hear one.

The rest of your response is just too stupid to reply to.

[dinasour]

Because I'm not an idiot?

Do you need a reference? If you recall, we are a mob of two.

[Chode]

i expect nothing less from that half a fag...

[macamadamia]

"Wow, that Brian Williams is almost as
ridiculously good looking as I am.
And we both have that really seriously
smart look that manly men have."

[Howlin]

:-)

[South40]

I disagree.

I think he's quite useful in demonstrating just how mindless the left can be.

I like Brian Williams. As network news anchors go, he's relatively unbiased and I think he really tries for balance.

I think what he was trying to say was: They got guys that die for their side, we got guys that do the same.

But it came out as moral relativism. He left out the part where their guys die ATTACKING civilians while our guys are giving their all to protect us. I was pretty shocked. I don't think he meant it, but I do think it warrants his addressing it and clearing things up.

[Velveeta]

I'm sure Murtha wishes he'd said it first.

[rangerX]

Well, I'll wait to hear his apology. Until then, he can kiss my hairy Ranger A$$. Think I'll post this on the Ranger board and see what we think over there. RLTW.
