Steve Capus’ MSNBC Insults USA’s Fallen Heroes [Chris Hayes]

Steve Capus, President of NBC News, continues to tolerate MSNBC’s unprofessional, insensitive, and now unpatriotic ways. This weekend MSNBC host Chris Hayes insulted parents and families of American soldiers whose sons gave their lives in service to their country by saying their military service and death at the hands of an enemy does not automatically qualify them to be a hero. Hayes said calling these soldiers who gave their lives for our county “heroes” almost provides “justification for more war.” The conservative blogosphere exploded this weekend and last night Chris Hayes issued a weak apology.

Not only was this insulting to all Americans but to say it the day before Memorial Day on national television is unconscionable. Why is Mr. Hayes still employed by Steve Capus and when will Steve Capus apologize to us for filling the airwaves with Chris Hayes and the other nuts at MSNBC?

Can NBC parent General Electric and their CEO Jeffrey Immelt remain silent about this or Brian L. Roberts the CEO of Comcast? When will GE realize Steve Capus does not have the ability to corral the crazies at MSNBC?

And what does Tom Brokaw have to say about this? Surely he can’t remain silent about Chris Hayes comment. Can someone at NBC News get Mr. Brokaw into the studio to school Chris Hayes about all those fallen “heroes” from the greatest generation and from our recent conflicts?

MSNBC is out of control and NBC News President Steve Capus is the man military families should contact if they wish to complain about Chris Hayes insult.

In the meantime a “very angry” Steve Newton of The Silver Star Families of America called on Chris Hayes to resign or be terminated for his recent comments on MSNBC.

Freedom Of the Press and Freedom of Speech today invariably means; sedition, treason, pornography, filthy language, blasphemy, advocacy of drug consumption, and socialism.

I don't know Chris Hayes? But I can guess he/she never served in uniform or even considered the possibility. Chris Hayes is too intelligent, too good to enlist or seek a commission in the US armed forces. What what a redeeming opportunity for Chris Hayes miss out on. How unfortunate for Chris Hayes.

He’s a poopy pants urban metrosexual hipster. If you look up “poopy pants metrosexual” in the dictionary, his picture will be there.

We all know who they are and what they are.

Sick, intolerant cowards is what they will always be.

Yes, there is a sick, desperate need there to defame, derogate, and calumniate there .... I think it's cowardice eating their insides, myself.

But I was referring to that photo. I scrolled down on that, thinking it would be a typical cemetery view .... and it was like getting hit in the side of the face with a frying pan. Didn't see it coming.

Thanks for the original ping...

I am drafting up a response to this coward...Not that I believe he’ll ever get it, nor read it, or even be shamed by it...

And it will not be an anonymous response...

This coward certainly has the right to express himself, people died for him to have that right...

But there is a flip side to that...We can give him both barrels (pardon the pun) to remind him how tenuous his professional career is...
