CNN Anchor Refers to Dallas Gunman’s Actions as ‘Courageous and Brave’

Might it have occurred to you that implication isn't always valid.

 

Here is your first left wing-nut hint to support a stupid reporter on CNN. Imagine they would write the same thing about the Oklahoma City Federal building bombing, touched off by another idiot who thought he had a beef with legitimate authority. By saying the murderer was courageous and brave on CNN, a national news network, she gives him the cover of legitimacy, doesn't condemn him as the killer he is. Anchor newscaster's are not interviewing extemporaneously, everything they want to say in a broadcast is on cards held up, or a teleprompter. She wrote it, or a writer for CNN who decided to tell her what to say, or a behind-the-scenes editor whispered in her earplug what to say, so there is no misunderstanding the intent and her remarks. Television doesn't work in a void, there is no "dead air" during broadcast, and everything is run through BEFORE they go on the air........

Stupid and murderous were the appropriate words for this guy attacking the Dallas Police Headquarter's, and having a van standing by loaded with pipe bombs, which they blew up, just reinforces those adjectives regarding this nut case. Would she have called him courageous and brave if he attacked CNN headquarters instead of the Dallas Police Department? This Obama instigated war against the police in this country, going all the way back to the drunken Harvard professor in Cambridge, and the "Trayvon could be my son" remark is going to get a whole lot of police and civilians murdered, it gets worse everyday. Liberals need to step back, shut up, and understand that the media isn't running the country, we are run under the American Constitution, something liberals consider to be a mere "scrap of paper" to be ignored at their convenience................

 

What is invalid about it?

 

Nope, wrong choice of words for Whitfield, but normal folks would interpret what she said as "it took balls" which it did.

And another RW Outrage du Jour is born.

 

Where the Nazis brave at Stalingrad?

Brave and Courageous does not necessarily imply good.

- - - Updated - - -

"Balls" in this case is just a synonym for bravery or courage.

 

Agreed. She should have just used the word "bold" and perhaps the right would not be demanding her resignation?

This thread is becoming sillier by the second. ;~)

 

Agreed.

What he did was "brave and courageous" in the same way that attacking a polar bear with a fly swatter is brave and courageous.

 

The liberal's, of which Obama and Hillary Clinton are at the top of the tree in America, would applaud Al Quida's attack on the consulate in Benghazi as courageous and brave, taking out a United States ambassador and three aides, "all dead in Ohio." Whoops - wrong murder, National Guard isn't an arm of the hated police is it, and those brave Al Quida terrorists in Libya didn't have a gripe until a cheap video shown only in Egypt, brought their blood to a boil, and they decided to kill four American's, although they had the American consulate staked out for a couple of weeks.........

"What does it matter now - they are ALL DEAD." - Well - that's what matters, but lets make sure the murderer in Dallas gets a heroes funeral...........

 

Gotta be a great job. All of Obama's Press Secretaries and appointments sort of remind me of substitute teachers............

 

Another lame defense of The Welfare Cowboy?

 

Yes. I sure did...all in the context of Fredricka Whitfield's comments about a homicidal maniac. You're a smart, if dismally misguided, guy.
I'm sure you get it.

Say it 100 times, 1,000 times if you want. The problem is precisely that you've called her comment "dumb".
It's a bit more than that, but to just call her comment dumb (though it was dumb to call attention to her own exculpatory words) lets her off the hook for the dark insight into her views on a savage attack on Dallas police.

As I've said, I'm sure you understand.

Put it in a thread. I'm sure you haven't been shy about discussing it.
Except when it hurts your team...like this time.

 

Nope, McVeigh and Koresh were courageous and brave (or weak and cowardly depending).

I do not "admire" either of them.

You kids are playing a pathetic game of word salad.

 

Sending a racist like Holder to Sanford, Florida and Ferguson, Missouri to rile up the Black Community, in full destructive mode against the police, when all the evidence pointed to the police being correct, even getting a trial of one man defending himself - and being found Not Guilty by reason of self defense, and the other, a brutal thug stupid enough (not courageous) to attack a uniformed officer, on duty, in his police unit, with intent to kill. Justifiable homicide according to legitimate government institutions (things like the Grand Jury, and the American Constitution), things the liberal's toss aside routinely - and legitimate reasons for the citizenry to rise up and burn down the town.........

Having to eliminate contact with his closest adviser and life long mentor Rev. Wright, a racist, bigoted phony preacher at the start of his administration, but that only allowed him to replace him with another racist, bigoted idiot, in Rev. Al Sharpton. BTW - anybody actually know what particular church these so-called racist "reverends" preach from every Sunday? The lib media gives them the stage - they have no churches - the sound-bite is their church - the low information black community their congregation, and the liberal media their spokesmen. Obama's legacy regarding law enforcement and Civil Rights, will be that he set Civil Right's in America back to 1961 levels, and "00Bama - License To Burn.".............

"Travyon Martin could have been my son."

 

You should read this, which might shed a bit of light on my point.

Your link is a failure as it won't open but it also fails in it's intent. Whether someone thinks Timothy McVeigh got it right or not isn't the issue and never will be. But you seem absolutely incapable of dealing with the real issue.

Let me make it easy for you: What if a Fox air personality, during a breaking broadcast, called McVeigh "fearless" or "valiant" when he bombed the Murrah federal building? Would you call it merely dumb?

Or something more sinister than that? We both know the answer, don't we.

Above are the CNN contacts, let 'em know how you feel.

 

Hmmm.. worked 5 times in a row for me. Try again.

Ever heard of Guardians of the Free Republics? Well, like many in the extreme RW Sovereign Citizen movement .. they were big supporters of what McVeigh did.

Maybe you are subscribed to a Time article access service. I am not. And since you keep making the same pointless off topic arguments, it doesn't matter.

Okay. Which one of them got a job as a CNN anchor and went on the air calling McVeigh's bombing courageous?

 

`
It was a very stupid comment she made. Following such perverse logic, Lee Harvey Oswald would be courageous and brave. Damn, I'm glad I no longer watch any news on TV.

 

Because bravery is indicative of a noble cause, so anyone who thinks murdering pieces of (*)(*)(*)(*) are noble is beyond any form of sanity

 

Ain't that the truth, and good comparison with the liberal loon mindset of defining brave and courageous towards al qaeda

 

So this guy was a coward?

You do get that indication is not always correct yes?

 

I wonder, if gunfire had erupted out at the Bundy ranch last year from all the armed nutjobs standing around waiting for something to happen, would they have been painted as courageous and brave by some folks too? They were certainly being painted that way as it was.

I wouldn't have found those folks to be brave or courageous, just more of a nutjob piece of crap than I already thought they were. And I don't think the scrotum who shot up that police station in Dallas is courageous or brave either. He too is a degenerate nutjob.

I can forgive gaffes, no matter who they come from. It's the things that are said on the news that are MEANT to be said that matter. Whether this anchor meant what she said or just misspoke remains to be seen, but if she did mean it, well then hello yet another idiotic nutjob.

 

Suicide is a cowardly act, I'm surprised you didn't know that, and bravery is associated with a heroic deed, which again I'm surprised at your silly argument. I believe the point of your posts is only to disagree no matter if you are wrong

 

Nobility of purpose is a necessary element of bravery.
Without it, there is none.
