What Comes Around…..
Recently, potential 2016 Republican candidate Ben Carson is quoted as saying this:
“A bunch of rag tag militiamen defeated the most powerful and professional military force on the planet. Why? Because they believed in what they were doing. They were willing to die for what they believed in. Fast forward to today. What do we have? You’ve got ISIS. They’ve got the wrong philosophy, but they’re willing to die for it while we are busily giving away every belief and every value for the sake of political correctness. We have to change that.”
Personally, I don’t have a problem with this kind of comparison.
But not too long ago, a certain political party did have a BIG problem with it.
When both Michael Moore and Brian Williams made the same inference, that, in some ways, Islamic terrorists are comparable to our founding fathers, it set off a shit-storm among right wing talkers and bloggers. For example…
In some sort of twisted liberal politically correct logic, dumping tea into the Boston Harbor is the moral equivalent of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America.
This is according to a startling column by retired U.S. Navy Captain Jim Kinney.
Captain Kinney writes that in the new indoctrination course, the military, which is sworn to uphold and defend the constitution, is being taught that the authors of the document were terrorist extremists!
By this liberal logic, George Washington and Osama bin Laden are men of equal moral stature and equally to be honored…or equally to be branded as terrorists…depending upon your point of view.
Our ruling class defends the NSA spying authority…while a vast majority Americans holds the so-called “extremist” view that the scandal is a violation of our constitution.
Next:
Did you know that America’s Founding Fathers were terrorist “insurgents”? That’s not only the favorite line of the HAMAS co-conspirator CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations), but it’s now also the standard line from the AMC cable network.
AMC–the cable network known for the hit series “Mad Men”–has gone mad. Its new series, “Turn,” wants you to know that Islamic terrorists are no big deal because, hey, WE–yes, the Americans–were terrorists once, too. Like I said, this is HAMAS CAIR’s standard BS, and now it’s mainstream entertainment’s message, too.
Next, from 2005:
Brian Williams Spits on Founding Fathers
One of the best things about the Fourth of July season is that it reminds us how supremely lucky we are to inherit the gift left to us by our Founding Fathers — the gift of America itself. This is a time of year when all of us can tip our hats to those great men, whose sacrifices, risks and devotion to the concept of liberty led to the freedom and wealth that we enjoy today and should never take for granted. Unfortunately, there will always be some who do take them for granted, and lack not only gratitude, but basic respect — NBC’s Brian Williams, for example.
Williams was uninterested in the revelation that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president-elect of the brutally repressive theocratic dictatorship in Iran, is probably one of the terrorist thugs who held dozens of Americans hostage at our embassy in Tehran for 444 days, beginning in 1979 and not ending until the blessed day that Reagan was inaugurated. After all, Williams reasons, the Founding Fathers were terrorists too.
WorldNetDaily quotes Williams from his broadcast:
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.
The “someone” William mentions, as Michelle Malkin suggests, was apparently himself.
Here’s the complete list of the deeds of Washington, Jefferson, and the other heroes who bequeathed to us this great country that are in any way comparable to the terrorist activities of the Iranian regime:
There, I believe that list is exhaustive.
Williams can’t even claim originality for his obscene comparison of the Founding Fathers with Islamic terrorists. He borrowed it from the equally confused — though much less meticulously groomed — Michael Moore.
The term “mainstream media” gets to be more of a misnomer with every passing day. There is certainly nothing mainstream about the absurd liberal elite viewpoint expressed by network anchors.Brian Williams Spits on Founding Fathers

Brian Williams said what?
Tons of readers are e-mailing me about NBC News anchor Brian Williams’ comments tonight in which he apparently compared the Founding Fathers to modern-day terrorists.
I could go on, but you get the idea. Neither Hannity or Rush seem to archive their shows that far back, but I used to listen to both when I was more comfortable being in the Conservative camp.
I wonder if they’ll call out Carson, a guy they all really really like, for committing the same offense?
