    Actually, I argued with numerous conservatives who thought exactly as you do, that Cliven Bundy was somehow a "bum" who was "mooching" off the land, as if someone could actually "mooch" off something that nature provided.

    But I'm not sure the situations are comparable, since Bundy didn't go out looking for trouble, it came to him.

    Since courageous and brave are terms of admiration, I guess we know who she supports. And CNN if they support this instigative reporter.

    I think she was searching for the right word, and "courageous" came out, and then "brave" (a synonym of courageous - almost there but not quite...), when the word she was looking for is "bold".

    I bet you think in war that the other side isn't brave.

    I already knew that, but you posting "6char" didn't comprehend . I though maybe the political left resorted to cultural-Marxism again and created a new definition for "6char" to further a political agenda.

    It was so much simpler back when a "dude" was a pantywaist and were fighting words, "awesome" was something you feared but respected and an "assault rifle" had to be chamber for an intermediate rifle cartridge and capable of full automatic fire instead of being black and scary looking.

    Quite true...imagine if a FOX news caster had issued this comment. The liberal MSM would be up in arms...it would be a news story in itself, but...total silence.

    Oh yes, saving the life of a baby while risking your own life is so stupid to a person like you

    Liberal speak, "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" (*)(*)(*)(*)ing liberals and their lunacy

    Here, I would imagine you support these terrorists as brave also, since you seem to have no problem with brave men attacking a police station with automatic weapons

    Maybe not all, but the percentage is higher than you think. Liberals have been supporting out of control violence since "occupy loser fest" was happening

    Yes...unless you are a terrorist and consider successfully killing innocent people "courageous and brave".

    Did you think Nidal Hassan was "courageous and brave"?

    There's a difference between having courage and being a lunatic! :roll:

    Look, just accept what right wingers tell us.

    A bunch of goat herders armed with AK47s launches an attack on an American base. What a bunch of cowards.

    An American pilot, flying at 45k feet, drops a laser guided bomb on a bunch of goat herders armed with AK47s. He's the most heroic man in the universe.

    We right wingers say the U.S. Army and Marine Corps grunts are the most heroic, not the fighter jocks dropping some bomb or Navy SEALS or special forces or one of Obama's PC Air Force drag queens who's sitting 10,000 miles away with a joy stick and a pizza sitting next to him while controlling a UAV. (drone)

    I bet it's more fun shooting goat herders than it was shooting Charley.

    She should still be fired. The first words to come out should have been either insanely or fanatical and that would have made her point and took her off the hook at the same time. People hired to use words effectively should know how.

    I think the guy with the joystick can be every bit as courageous as the grunt, and often a lot more effective. It's a fetish of armchair generals that heroism is hand-to-hand.

    Indeed. It is the bootlicking sycophant who excuses rogue law enforcement because, after all, they're keeping the (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s down, who are the real anti-Americans.

    By your metric, American colonists were stupid, cowardly outlaws for resisting the brutality of the British.
    They should have learned to whimper and meekly bend over whenever the Brits told them to do so.

    They have gone rogue and they need to be confronted, reformed, and all of the thugs and criminals with a badge weeded out.

    So would you characterize Timothy McVeigh as brave and courageous also?

    It was a stupid thing to say.. so she's essentially saying that it took balls to do what he did?

    She's correct ... bad choice of words.

    The brave and courageous people were inside the building and on the street today protecting your arsenal from people like this guy everyday.

    She is supposed to be a professional journalist with an above average command of the English language. As such, she said what she meant, nothing came out incorrectly. But thank you for once again coming to the aid of yet another liberal who stuck their foot in their mouth. Your loyalty to the party is BOLD. You have the makings of an Obama Press Secretary. How fun is that?

    Thanks for admitting your ignorance, the rest of your post further displayed it.

    - - - Updated - - -

    She probably feels "brave and courageous ", hopefully she will be doing do so sitting at home without a job in CNN proves itself brave and courteous.
