Brian Williams of NBC news just compared the new Iranian President to the Founding Fathers
NBC Nightly News ^ | 6/30/05 | Self

Posted on 06/30/2005 3:41:20 PM PDT by Sam's Army

Anyone else just see the NBC report on the possibility that the new Iranian President may have been one of the kidnappers in the 1979 hostage crisis?

Brian Willaims and Andrea Mitchell bantering back and forth with Williams stating: "After all, some certianly regarded the founding fathers as terrorists, and the student uprising was well supported all across Iran." Or words extremely similar to that.

Maddest I've been yet on this issue, even if this isn't the guy, Williams and Mitchell's comments were way over the line, even by what we are used to out of the MSM

Brian Williams was a White House intern under Carter. Given his former boss' culpability for and ineptitude during the hostage crisis, we should not be surprised by Williams' comments. Disgusted and/or outraged, yes, but not surprised.

Just got back from work now Michelle Malkin has a piece on this. You were correct. He did say that. Brian Williams is toast, and thanks for posting that!

I see an evolution here- MSM is swiftly becoming SSM(SideStream Media) or BSM( BackStream Media).

Saw it.. Wasn't listening much... I did a double take..
Glared then, at the miscreant.. and his familiar..
And mused to myself, he really didn't say that did he.?.
Knowing he did.. added it to a long list of things that make me want to offer myself as hangman on a gang gallows on the White lawn.. if ever I'm blessed.. But know really, I might have to fight for the honor..

"...Michelle Malkin has a piece on this."

I was just over at Townhall.com and didn't see anything posted from her on it yet. Do you have a source you could link us to? Wonder if this can grow legs...

I saw this last night and did a double take. What a putz. It would have been better if he'd compared him to electing Bill Clinton, known draft dodger and
American-on-foreign-soil war protestor.

Quite right, the insurgents are fighting for their country. Unfortunately most of them are Saudi, Syrian, Palestinian, Jordanian, & Iranian . None of them are fighting for a free Iraq.

Ah yes, I remember when Washington had Madison and Jefferson executed, and Hancock and his family went into exile. Then Washington jailed or executed %90 of the officers in the military, created a group of Episcopalian tribunals to be the de facto government, shut down the colleges, and brought %60 unemployment.

Yup, just like the founders of our nation.

Did you know Michelle Malkin has linked to your thread?

According to news watchers, Williams repeated the argument in his broadcast banter tonight with...

Is that you Buckhead?
