WELL said Westpole! Bravo!
As for Brian Williams, I think that picture of the GI and the coffee cup with the caption "How about rooting for OUR side for a change, you liberal moron!?!?" says it all!
Comparing American patriots willing to fight and die for their country and Islamic terrorists who intentionally target innocent civilians in hopes of hanging out with virgins in the afterlife is vile beyond description. Williams is a moral relativist piece of excrement.
Real easy Mr Williams to see the difference. Our guys fight them that shoot back. Terrorirists try to avoid those guys and attack the defenseless and the weak
The false moral equivalence is one of the mainstays of liberal thought. Of couse a moral leper like Brian Williams would say such a thing.
The shame is that we allow him to remain in his job.
I'm not sure he directly made the comparison but stated his point rather unartful. News Readers should not deviate from prepared completely vetted scripts.
Someone just needs to take Williams outside and give him a good spanking.
"The shame is that we allow him to remain in his job."
Maybe for this month.
A fax to them might be nice.

From now on, just read the cue-cards, Ken-doll.
He may not have made himself very clear, but it's obvious from context that he was NOT implying some sort of moral equivalence between terrorists and American military & emergency workers. This is a molehill.
Brian Williams is about as dumb as a person can become. But he is not dumber then the executives at NBC that leave this moron to run loose. Get rid of him. He belongs in the black hole of obscurity with the rest of the Democrat liberal, scum and vermin of humanity.
Cutting off the end of his statement made it appear that he was saying something different from what he actually said. What he said was awkward but not worse than that.
Excellent, Westpole!
Hey I'd like to have one of those cups...
Exactly...Many Americans are willing to "give" their life in defense of our freedoms but it is the terrorist who is willing to "take" his life for their fanatical beliefs.
Williams is not willing to take responsibility for his statement.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Our Declaration of Independence separates us from terrorists.
We believe man, in fact all mankind, has an expectation, a right, to life. We believe this is an unalienable right, in fact a sacred right not granted by man but by a higher power, our Creator and incapable of repudiation. The right to life cannot be taken by another man.
The terrorists dont believe we, or any man, apparently, has an expectation to life. The terrorist have shown that they can commit, intend to commit and are committed to intentional, indiscriminate killing of innocent strangers.
What greater disparity could there be in the beliefs between the terrorists and ourselves?
Not sure where the news media or Mr. Williams fit in....
