New 'Today' Co-Host an Anti-War Protester: “Entire Pre-Text for War Built on Lies”
Posted by Brent Baker on April 6, 2006 - 12:41.
Meredith Vieira, one of the hosts on ABC's daytime show The View, who announced on Thursday's program that she has agreed to replace Katie Couric as co-host of NBC's Today, marched in an anti-Iraq war protest back in August of 2004. On the Monday, August 30, 2004 edition of The View, the former CBS 60 Minutes reporter told viewers that she attended the anti-Bush protest held in New York City on the Sunday before the Republican convention opened, insisting: "I didn't go anti-Bush or pro-Kerry. I'm still so upset about this war and I'm so proud I live in a country where you can protest." She showed a photo of herself marching with her pre-teen daughter and her husband, Richard, who was the senior political producer at CBS News for most of the 1980s. Behind her in the photo: A protest sign featuring a “W,” for George W. Bush, with a slash through it.
Earlier in 2004, she declared of the Iraq war: "Everything's been built on lies. Everything! I mean the entire pre-text for war." And, with war impending in March of 2003, Vieira argued that anti-war protests "should be consistent and repeated every day, I believe." On other episodes of The View Vieira has also made clear her opposition to the death penalty and when guest Ann Coulter charged that “liberals hate America,” Vieira called that “stupid" and became defensive: “But some people wrap themselves in the flag -- I mean, that's what some liberals are against.” Then she charged: "Just like McCarthy: 'I'm just being patriotic.'"

Every time I hear a human like Meredith Vieira speak I can't help but think of the old axiom: "A lttle bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing."
****
Agreed.
Where in the world is Matt? He must be extremely happy that Perky, Quirky Katie will no longer sit next to him. Problem is that he has to deal with another liberal....Meredith. Appears to be a win-win situation for conservatives.
Reshuffling the chairs on the deck of the Titanic while the band plays on. The networks are too arrogant to realize an iceberg is an iceberg is an iceberg.
Your analogy is drastic. I expected a pit of fire instead of freezer burn .......(with global warming and all)!!
Big mouth, tiny brain.
Meredith isn't the 'perky' ex-cheerleader type. Bad fit.
Brain dead person filling dead air time.
Viera should stick with what she knows best. Throwing her hair around, batting her eyes and talking about her sex life. Yuck!
Star's no longer reminding us that she's a 'lawya' wouldn't hurt either.
Married to a former long-time political (Leftist) producer at SeeBS...another example of the incestuous relationships between those in the msm and their political connections to the Democrats.
Well in that case, she's practically a weapon of mass destruction.
;-)
Yes. She is a "spewer".
She is also married to a quarterback who plays for either the Jets or Giants.
Yea......too bad they can't get Momma moonbat and a few other radicals on the show too............that way we would not run the risk of seeing them on the 6 o-clock news.
