NBC anchor compares Founders to terrorists
Brian Williams equates 1st U.S. leaders to Iran president-elect
In his newscast tonight, "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams compared America's first presidents to the president-elect of Iran, alleged hostage-taker Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, saying they were "certainly revolutionaries and might have been called terrorists by the British crown."
At least six of the Americans held at the U.S. embassy in Tehran as hostages for 444 days claim Ahmadinejad was one of the leaders of the captors, having recognized him on television reports.
Williams' comment came in a question to reporter Andrea Mitchell.
At the end of Mitchell's report, Williams asked, "What would it all matter if proven true? Someone brought up today the first several U.S. presidents were certainly revolutionaries and might have been called 'terrorists' by the British crown, after all."
Read it ALL!
HOW DARE HE COMPARE OUR FOREFATHERS TO THESE ANIMALS! HOW DARE HE! What is his point? I mean some people would say that Hitler was a humanitarian....... SO? These people would be called MORONS! (at the VERY LEAST!) The Bombers of Pearl Harbor could be called Heroes by some people. We could carry a list forever. Heck- some people would call McCain a conservative. GIVE ME A BREAK!
Here we are, on the cusp of our DAY OF INDEPENDENCE, and some IDIOT wants to talk about our founders this way?
Tune in tomorrow, I will share a story about my favorite American Patriot, and the kind of MAN he was. This weekend will be dedicated to REMINDING people of the AWESOME men our forefathers were.

This is what I dislike about the media, it was a comment - Not a comparison. Yet the report used the word so now everybody is having a COW.
It is an eye opening comment - not an outrigh comparison.
This is how the media manipulates mass emotion. Pay more attention and don't fall for the bias.
Just read it for what it is - not cool - but not worth a heart attack.

Sherri's just being her emotional reactionary self. I'm waiting to hear the more reasoned responses by RWNJ and Levi. Not about whether it's appropriate "in this time of war" to express yourself like the newsanchor said. But whether our founding fathers were indeed working against their government, in a a traitorous fashion with respect to England.
I'll make it easier for Sherri, though...
If the state of Hawaii took up arms in attempt to liberate itself from the U.S., there is no doubt they would be labeled terrorists.

Being against an established gov't may make you a rebel. Taking up arms against said gov't could make one a REBEL-
Terrorists is a totally different word. TOTALLY!
Pay attention folks. Use words that mean what you say and say what you mean. The people wanting freedom in IRAN are rebels- liberals, even- but not TERRORISTS~!
In fact- they are LIBERALS that I LOVE!
Our forefathers were NOT TERRORISTS~! ( they were liberals of their time.) PERIOD!
Really! People of today that agree with our forefathers are CONSERVATIVES.
PAY ATTENTION FOLKS!
On top of that- media would call people TERRORISTS- but only for one reason- they like to be inflammatory. IT SELLS. It makes for better fodder.
I feel our own gov't has twisted and recked this country. Am I terrorist now?
Good greif.
As for emotional-- LOL!
Ahhhhh- CALL ME WOMAN~!
BWaahaaahaaahaaahaaa!
If you really want to use the correct term- It is not that I am "emotional"- I am PASSIONATE!
VERY PASSIONATE.
I honestly do not sit behind the keyboard in tears, pounding on the keys, etc.- LOL!
Besides- any decent writer DOES convey emotion- so thank you for the compliment! Levi and RWNJ do complete SUWS and make it much more well rounded. It would never be the same without them!!!!
It is not political viewpoints that makes one a TERRORIST- it is the action. Killing innocents makes one a terrorist. Terrorozing and threatening innocents makes one a terrorist. Not wanting to overthrow any given gov't.

Opinions about Williams are not as interesting as opinions about our founding fathers. Have any?

Before even commenting on what Williams said, I would also like to give mention to the purpose of the media and ask everybody here if they are familiar with the role the media plays in our society?
Are we given the absolute truth when it comes down to foreign affairs? Or does everything we receive has a bias slant that tips the scale in favor of a person no matter what evidence you have on the person?
The average American is far from having the proper skills to filter out what is real and what is fake.
You would be surprised to the level of ignorance even with the "educated" to the point that when another person attempts to enlighten someone else with the truth, they are considered crazy or an outcast, even if that person has several references and crucial evidence.
People are "brainwashed" into thinking all is well if it's NOT on the NEWS....
(sigh)....
Well, I guess that is mission acomplished when it comes to providing a smoke screen that Americans can't see through...
And when it comes to William's comment, did it really have sway your attention from the matter at hand? If it did, my hat goes off to him!
