Brian Williams, NBC anchor Makes Stunning Commnent Comparing Navy Seals and Army Ranger to terrorist
Freerepublic | August 10, 2006 | Westpole

Posted on 08/10/2006 4:23:12 PM PDT by Westpole

ON Hardball NBC anchor Brian Williams was asked by Chris Matthews if it was suprising that British muslims that had been exposed to western values, and where even British citizens would still hate us so much they would be willing to give up their lives to kill us. What was Brian Williams pontification? He said "we have guys on our side like that too. They are called Army Rangers and Navy Seals."

What kind of mind would make that comparison. The question was what kind of hatered would overcome even a westernized muslin to want to die just to kill innocent people. Brian Williams had to go out of his way to too be too judgemental about terrorists and gave them the same moral equivalence as our Navy Seals and Army Rangers. This ought to be a hanging offence!

He mispoke. He should have said, "We have guys like that, we have John Kerry."

Brian Williams' biggest problem is that he tries too hard to be profound and compelling. I bet he thought he was making a stunning retort there. Instead he just ended up looking like a severe mental invalid comparing people who protect their nation from terrorists to those same terrorists who wanted to blow up packed airplanes over our cities.

Katoosh...

That's the sound of his career going straight down the toilet.

Maybe now he can get his own show on HBO too!

Just based on that, he should be slapped senseless, but I would like to see the full context before slapping.

He said "we have guys on our side like that too. They are called Army Rangers and Navy Seals."

We had people like Brian Williams "on our side" during WWII as well ... Tokyo Rose comes to mind

Lamont effect? A guy on SeeBS purportedly called the UK plane terrorists martyrs. I guess the word has come down from on high: pull no punches and let the liberal talking points flow!

Laura Ingraham just said last week that Brian Williams was a really good guy. Time for a reassessment?
