I haven't watch MSM news in YEARS. Well i take that back... I watched Dan Rather once during the National Guard Scandal to see if he would apologize, and I ended up watching him interrogate a 90 year old woman.

I am sure back during the American Revolution that the Crown had but the greatest respect for the Revolutionaries in America and would never of thought them to be a threat to the Crown.

They were a threat all right -- but they aren't the kind of people to torture, rape and kill women and kids and other non-combatants to appease their moronic religion.

I honestly can't remember the last time I watched a broadcast evening news report. I get all the info I need, and more, from Brit Hume and the conservative corners of the internet.

"There's no end to moral equivalency smearing by the left."

Well. If they find no difference between Islamic fascists who blow up school children and the Founding Fathers, one wonders what basis they have for their condemnation of America.

We would do well to treat this band of moral idiots as the ridiculous fools they are.

That's well said.

I really don't think many people watch network news any more. I don't. Half the people who do watch are conservatives who're just trying to find something to get ticked off about. They're usually well rewarded.

The analogy hinges upon the idea that terrorists are merely political rebels. The founding father were considered rebels and dangerous, but they officially made a deceleration of hostilities. A terrorist is someone who kills civilians intentionally, usually without even a deceleration. No one at the time of the revolution considered the killing of non-combatants acceptable even for a rebellion. Indeed the whole point of the "War on Terror" is that we still don't consider it legitimate combat tactic even if you do claim to be a political rebel, accept for apparently Brian Williams, hence his use of the analogy.

"....and certainly made for a robust debate in our afternoon editorial meeting, when several of us raised the point (I'll leave it to others to decide germaneness) that several U.S. presidents were at minimum revolutionaries, and probably were considered terrorists of their time by the Crown in England."

Terror as a political tool was an invention of the modern, Stalinist Left. It was not practiced in the 18th century as a means to achieve political change.

And to simply catagorize anti-monarchical, Enlightenment reolutionaries are somehow the same as modern Marxist revolutionaries is patently idiotic, also.

But, then again, we know how brainy liberals are when it comes to history and politics.

Juan does hide the hand imprints well, though. Have to give him that.

The Iranian President elect is an admitted terrorist and murderer --- I wonder how the Iranian people feel about this? I wonder how the Eurocrats feel about this?

Perhaps we can celebrate July 4 by giving Mr. Williams a one-way ticket back to England so he can renew his loyalty to the British crown.

Is Brian Williams from Connecticut?

In grade school in CT they used to teach us how to curtsy before the Queen, and how the American Revolutionaries were terrorists, learning their terrorist tactics from the American Indians. I kid you not.

"Bloggers are already on the case

You might as well have said "Teenagers are already gossiping about the case".

Williams is filling Brokaw's shoes masterfully by saying things as dumb as his predecessor said.

During the Gulf War Brokaw went on and on about the poor 18 year old F-15 pilots.

I don't know Fred beats him about the head and shoulders on a regular basis. I like Fred, you can see he has no patience and gets flustered easily, and sometimes I bet he would rather slap Juan across the lips rather than argue with him. :D

: several of the former Iran Hostages have decided there is a strong resemblance between Iran's new president and one of their captors

What an insult.

NBshe employee Williams said what?!

A MSM employee would say something like that? Absolutely.

www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/binladen/who/interview.html

In May 1998, "a little over two months before the U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, Osama bin Laden answers questions posed to him by some of his followers at his mountaintop camp in southern Afghanistan. In the latter part of the interview, ABC reporter John Miller is asking the questions."

Knowing that Bin Laden has declared war on the U.S. nevertheless near the end of the interview Mr. Miller tells OBL,

"In America, we have a figure from history from 1897 named Teddy Roosevelt. He was a wealthy man, who grew up in a privileged situation and who fought on the front lines. He put together his own men - hand chose them - and went to battle. You are like the Middle East version of Teddy Roosevelt."

It's the MSM. It's what they do.

If I am not mistaken Miller was hired by the Los Angeles Police Department homeland defense operation a few years ago.
