Brian Williams--Potential Al Jazeera Anchor

I purposely don't watch the NBC Nightly News to spare myself nonsensical garbage. So, I missed this disgusting exchange between Brian Williams and Andrea Mitchell on last night's broadcast.

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."

Do Williams and Mitchell consider George Washinton, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson terrorists?

Did they kidnap people and torture them?

Did our first presidents blow up innocent men, women, and children in the name of their cause, independence?

Did Washington, Adams, and Jefferson don hoods and cut off the heads of innocent civilians as they begged for mercy?

Really--what is wrong with these people? Were they products of the American public school system? Have they no sense of history, and decency, whatsoever?

If the British crown had called our founding fathers "terrorists," they would not have been using the term in its modern sense. For Williams to make any connection between our first presidents and terrorists is absolutely sickening.

This reminds me of the Michael Moore "freedom fighter" label for the Iraqi insurgents. Of course, everyone knows Moore is an opportunistic, egomaniacal, bloated buffoon. You have to dismiss anything he says.

The anchor of a network news broadcast should have some credibility to be effective. It appears that Brian Williams, anchor of NBC Nightly News, is willing to trade in his credibility to cement his place among the loons of the left.
