Oh, yeah. I've liked Fred since I noticed him on The McLauglin Group, years ago. He writes some good stuff in The Weekly Standard, too.

[Echo Talon]

YEP :D

[Tree of Liberty]

Man, those caricatures freak me out.

[StarfireIV]

Nah, by the time talk radio and the new media are done with him, HE will be looking at such an action as a potential solution to his headaches, then again, there's always... um.... Scientology.

[Tree of Liberty]

Careful, Xenu'll getcha.

I'm a little rusty on my American history BUT if I do believe 'total war' is a recent phenomena isn't it? The FFs weren't insurgents. They were revolutionaries opposing an oppressive government (Great Britain) and addressed their concerns to them. This comparison is very shaky and has very little basis in facts when you think it through. Later years during the Civil War and afterwards, maybe we saw some actions of individual soldiers against the innocents of the opposition (women and children) but nothing done as policy. Brian Williams is a horse's ass imho.

NBC = Nothing Butt Crap

The first ting I thought of when I read Brian Williams' galactic ally stupid statement was another statement made by no less than George III himself. When he was told George Washington would relinquish power when Washington's presidential term had concluded, George III said, "If he gives up his power, he is truly the greatest man in the world."

Hardly the behavior of a terrorist.

Anytime you think about these Durbanities, you HAVE to link to Chrenkoff (scroll down).

"Just Like the Holocaust Without Any Jews or Killing", written last year, says it all.

[Preachin']

Be patient. We'll get the bottom of this when we invade Iran.

[TADSLOS]

Moral relativism and a history re-write all-in-one.

[jos65]

IMHO,Brian Williams is about as significant as George Stephonopolis (?). Williams too could be deleted and it would not effect their news broadcast.

[The PeteMan]

WILLIAMS IS A TOOL!!

'NUFF SAID!

[Mad Mammoth]

Well, I guess that makes Brian Williams the latter day equivalent of Leni Riefenstahl.

And he probably wears a dress too, we just haven't heard about that yet.

Typical ignorant talking head. I miss the Huntley-Brinkley Report.

The comparison is utterly idiotic. The Founders were not establishing a theocracy; they had not engaged in sponsoring state terror against non-Anglicans; they did not hold women and sick people hostage for a year; they did not fund terrorism against innocents.

I would NOT say, however, that "total war" is a new concept. Alexander utterly destroyed cities that opposed him, as did the Mongols.

[mware]

I wonder if our Founding Fathers were involved in carriage bombing a barracks full of British Marines???

[normy]

Here goes the right wing media trying to force a news man to take accountability for his words. Nazis!

[sauropod]

Why is this news? Michael Moore did the same thing in April a year ago (commenting on the Fallujah insurgents).

My response: there is no comparison unless you can find a historical record that the Minutemen mutilated 4 redcoat bodies and hung them off the Concord Bridge. 'Pod.

[Bigg Red]

Who is Brian Williams and what is NBC news? Are they some of the junk that got thrown into the bin of irrelevance?
