Time to turn that channel off.
Let his sorry ass join with Keith Olberman.
How’s that old saying go ? When you find that you’re digging yourself into a hole, put down the shovel ?
If he was truly sorry, he would commit suicide on air.
But he is perfectly comfortable with his head lodged in his anal orifice.
Because some gave the ultimate sacrifice, and get honored, that means we might want more war? His supporting "logic" is utterly bereft of any reason or common sense.
He saw what a stupid thing he said. He acknowledged it, apologized for it. I’ll give him that.
Still, he has no place being on the air. I wish no ill on him, but he should work elsewhere.
Very sad that his “apology” only comes AFTER complaints were made. It would have been more sincere if he made it immediately and on his own.
I attended a service today that was a complete repudiation of this klown’s screed. The unabashed references to God, country, and the heroes who gave their all in service to our nation.
Screw him - he’ll never appreciate what we have.
Apology means nothing. . .this is what he actually believes. It was not a “gaffe”. . .he did not “misspeak”. . this is what this guy and his treasonous comrades at MSNBC actually believe. NO APOLOGY NECESSARY - NO APOLOGY NEEDED. . .JUST FROG MARCH ALL OF THEM TO LEAVENWORTH!!!
The man is an idiot. Any American soldier who dies in the service of his/her country is a hero. It does not matter what the justification for the war is. The politicians get us into the wars, The reason or justification for a particular war is solely the responsibility of our leaders, and those who died are on their souls.
The asswipe never states he is sorry for what he said.
He states he is sorry for conforming to a stereotype.
Former service members’ group Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), in addition to conservative bloggers and organizations, slammed Hayes for being so conflicted about the term, FOX News reported.

Don’t care for how they contribute the ire coming from conservatives only.
Soldiers do what they do to preserve freedom for US ALL. Not just individuals part of one particular political persuasion.
Liberals know that — they just don’t want to give them credit for it.
Mr. Hayes openly admits he is made “uncomfortable about the word hero because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war”...
Apparently he is intellectually incapable of separating the valor of our fighting men and women from the causative political considerations...
I must respect him for admitting his limitations publicly...
I suggest Mr. Hayes confine his further remarks regarding our HEROES to a simple occasional “thank you” as appropriate, and leave discussions of valor versus why we fight to people capable of understanding such things...
Insincere and self-serving IMHO. That said, I hope they don’t can him - he’ll be a ratings drain, and that’s a good thing.
And intelligent viewers are uncomfortable watching an idiot on the Leftist MSNBC, so they don’t watch. I’m proud to say that we have never seen this younger rendition of Keith Olberman.
I really wonder if we shouldn’t bring back the draft. The all volunteer military seems to have provided a superior military, but a far flabbier civilian corps. I don’t see how we really survive when the vast majority of the American public has ‘no skin in the game.’
“I feel ... uncomfortable about the word hero because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war.”
I feel uncomfortable about not being able to insert the distal portion of my pedal extremity into the proximate seat of this villain’s apparent intelligence - his derriere.
Apologize Bull#@*&%%*!!
This SOB realized he had misspoken when he vented his true anti-American sentiments and felt a retraction in the better interests of his profit motives.
I also feel uncomfortable about the relative paucity of Memorial Day type television viewing this weekend. Clearly the Hollyweird and media “Intelligentsia” have determined that Memorial Day and Veterans are as dangerous to their revisionist views for America’s future as Pilgrims at Thanksgiving, Columbus on Columbus Day and Christ in Christmas.
Having had the opportunity to closely view Band of Brothers, I have also concluded that this a very subtle attempt to portray American soldiers as bestial violent savages, not an account of some exceptionally brave and valiant men.
Watch it closely. The best propaganda is that which is subtle and Steve Spielberg, a leftist supporter, is as adept at it as his tool Tom Hanks.
If he was truly sorry he would leap off a tall building onto a pike. He might also consider Hara-kari. That would be OK with me.
A resignation would do as well. Oh, and blackballing him from TV. That is a good start.
