NBC Brian Williams Compares Specials Forces To SUICIDE BOMBERS On Hardball w/Matthews 8/1/9/06
Hugh Hewitt Radio Show ^

Posted on 08/10/2006 9:54:38 PM PDT by senna

I heard Brian Williams compare suicide bombers to US special forces. I was listening to Hugh Hewitt's Radio Show. He is on vaction, his host was someone nameed Jed or Jess I heard this man on other shows like Rush, Hannity etc.

He said I am going to break when I come back I will tell you something that is unbelieveible and until I heard it I could not believe it. After the break he mad e a few comments on the Theorists already saying the Bob Threat was Bush engineered.

Then said just hours Chris Matthews was talking to Brian Williams and they were disxcussing how Mike Wallce had gone to Tahran, Iran and that if the Iraians knew us better they would not unleach the suicide bombers on us like they had in Israe. Matthews made the comment that these suicide bombers had no trouble killing themselves first and anyone else around.

Then said just hours Chris Matthews was talking to Brian Williams and they were disxcussing how Mike Wallce had gone to Tahran, Iran and that if the Iraians knew us better they woulkd not unleach the suicide bombers on us like they had in Israe. Matthews made the comment that these suicide bombers had no triuble killing themselnes first and anyone else around.

Then enemy suit Brian Willaims said actually says "We have some of those people on our team like the Rangers/Seals/Special Forces, they are crazy enough to go in to get killed first just like suicide bombers...to even mention these suicide bombers with the brave men that make up thje Rangers/Seals/Delta Force and Special Forces is an absolute disgrace that has me so LIVID I called the President of NBC at:

Steve Capus, Pres. NBC News 212-664-3228 steve.capus@nbc.com

I left hima profanity laced VM that will get me a call back because after that I called the producer for MSNBC:

Bill Wolff, VP Program. 201-583-5008 bill.wolff@msnbc.com

I soke wit the co-producer and she said that never happened I said have you been listening to the Hugh Heqwitt show for the past 2-3 houirs, she said no and I ssaid this is being broad cast coast to coast, you and you "We Hate America" have gone too far and you have Mr Capus call Fri am...she said are you a friend I said that is none of your business.

This is a totally true story and I am outraged that suit that morwe concernewd wityh his hair and suit would put down and comapre the bravist men the USA has to offer. You want to address your comments here are the numbers and web sites at:

http://americablog.blogspot.com/2006/01/hardballs-advertiser-contacts-and.html I want to personally thank all service personale for their service, thanks one and all. I will be dawging these people and I am to talk to a Ranger tonight to get this to go up the ranks.

Respectfully, John

PS Sorry for the typos I am mad as hell and am shakeing writing this...bear with em.

That`s a hell of a charge to make against somebody, sure hope you heard it right. If not, you owe Mr. Williams a big "I`m sorry"

Looks like it's true, there's an earlier thread on it.

Duplicate thread........

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1681582/posts

I think you'll see many thought he just misspoke and meant something else....on the other hand.....there are those that will hate him anyway.....I think he was trying to be complimentary and it came out horribly wrong...

Agreed:

Williams: "And that, Chris, that last aspect, the willingness to take one's own life -- I always tell people there are guys on our team like that, too. They're called Army Rangers and Navy Seals and the Special Forces folks and the first responders on 9/11 who went into those buildings knowing, by the way, they weren't going to come out. So we have players like that on our team."

I've probably expressed the same thing--that our guys are tougher than theirs.

Much ado about nothing.

This was awfully stupid.

Our guys don't want to die. They realize sometimes there must be a sacrifice,


But the Islamonutz - want to die, cuz there's all them virgins to handle....There is no equivalence except in Brian Williams drugged out brain

That's not what he said in the quote. He wasn't talking about WANTING to die, he was talking about the WILLINGNESS to die--that's all. One of the reasons we so value our soldiers is they are putting their LIVES on the line, right?

People are reading too much into what is an obvious point.

The difference is that our guys are not going in to annihilate civilians. They're going in to kill the thugs who DO kill civilians indiscriminately. As for the first responders; they may risk their own lives, but they're not doing what they do to KILL people like the suicide bombers. There is NO comparison between the groups.

I saw this on Matthews and I am sorry but I did not take it the way it is spun here. I took it that he meant we have brave men who would give their lives for what they believe. Not as suicide murders but as special forces, fire fighters etc. I took it as a compliment. I think this is being spun foolishly.

You're taking the comparison far beyond the point Williams was making. It pains me to defend such a liberal jackoff, but look at the direct quote--he was only making the comparison to the level of dedication to the cause. Period, end of statement. Do people need your point about saving people vs. blowing people up made for them every single time the point is made? No. We don't need to be hand-fed. In the quote, he was comparing ONE thing to ONE thing--and that's all.

If I say someone's resolve is "rock-solid" I'm not saying the person is composed of mineral or petrified matter.

I think Williams didn't mean to say it the way it came out...I'm not some big media fan but I also don't go around hating them just to hate like some on FR do....(not you per se)....and it doesn't take much to see he was trying to in fact be complimentary but it came out wrong.....damn, I think Bush has put his foot in his mouth many more times then I can count.....a blunder...nothing more....

This moral equivalence knows no bounds.
Williams is a stupid a**. Our men are not taking their own lives to blow up "infidels".
AND our first responders were going in to get people out!!!!!!!!!!!
The bad guys are NOT ON OUR TEAM!!!!!!!

There was a lengthy thread on this this afternoon (my time). Haven't checked it lately, but the consensus was leaning toward Williams having been taken out of context

That's just dumb. If you left me a "profanity laced" message I would write you off as a nut and ignore anything else you might have to say.
