Righteous Indignation…

Brian Williams is a dope.  AllahPunditIan at HotAir posted a video grab sound bite of Brian Williams on Chris Matthew’s show.  Watch it, and read his soundbite. 

The money shot:

always tell people there are guys on our team like that, too. They’re called Army Rangers and Navy Seals and the Special Forces folks and the first responders on 9/11 who went into those buildings knowing, by the way, they weren’t going to come out. So we have players like that on our team.

Which is why I don’t watch NBC Nightly News, and have sworn off MSNBC.

The guys on our team, for Mr. Williams benefit, don’t grab a c-4 belt, strap it to their waist and walk into a disco and boogie.  The guys on our team, go into a combat situation fully trained and expecting to come home to their familes, and should they die, they expect their comrades to bring them back with them.  To our team, the motto is no one left behind.

Their team is more than willing to mold explosives to the bottom of a sport’s drink, and blow up planes in a manner to invoke fear and terror in normal citizen’s lives.  Our team takes strides to limit the amount of civilian casualities.  Their team fires indiscriminate rockets, or unreliable IEDs into crowds and civilian population centers.  Our team will sacrifice themselves to preserve life.  Their team sacrifices their lives to take more lives. 

There isn’t a line.  There isn’t any moral equivalence between their team and our team.  Mr. Williams isn’t helping us in spouting this blather… and who the hell gave him the right to ‘always tell people’.  Please NBC, don’t let this guy out in public.

  I did not listen, watch, or read this article.  I believe I would spontaniously combust if I did.  There are way to many people out there (mainly the news type folks) who do not have a clue of what the real news is.  It is all sensationalized (sp?) just for the stories sake.  There are just too many computer problems out there.  It is usually a problem with the interface between the keyboard and chair.

  Okay, in the first place, “they” are not a TEAM.  Look at any “TEAM” concept and when one member goes off by themselves to accomplish their own glory, that flies in the face of the very fundamental concept of “TEAM.” So if Brainless Williams wants to call “them” a “TEAM”, I’d say he’d better check the dictionary one more time.

  And, B, since when are “WE” a “TEAM”?  I mean, look at Cindy Sheehan and Camryn Manheim and Susan Sarandon and .....  Since when does 1) the media, 2) the “influential” types in Hollywood and 3) the general public believe in what we’re doing and SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT in his “War on Terror.” Seems to me the only “TEAM” is the troops that are actually out there doing what needs to be done.  Our flighty liberal right is still sitting around the campfire singing “Kum Ba Yah” and wondering why we can’t “give peace a chance.” Why?  ‘cuz then we’d all be DEAD.  Like all those innocent people died in 9/11.  Go visit the OKC Memorial and tell me that terrorists will listen to diplomacy.  Look at the way one of OUR OWN tore people’s lives apart - and I"m not just talking about the families of those who died, but those who SURVIVED and have to live each day with the memory of what they experienced - and then talk to me about “giving peace a chance.”
