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

What leads you to believe Obama targets law enforcement in America? I have heard this from a few other people and when i ask them for evidence that is the case, they never provide anything valid. Can you buck that trend and enlighten me on Obama's targeting of law enforcement?

 

How do you know it was not a perfect choice of words for what she really believes?

His DOJ, his beer summit.

 

Yep. She needs to apologize to anyone who was offended and clarify how she feels about what this man did. Of course, it's up to CNN whether they want to suspend or fire her.

 

Could I ask you to be a little more specific? Show me clear evidence of Obama saying or acting in a way that shows he is targeting law enforcement and I'll acknowledge it.

 

You've obviously not been exposed to the news for the past 6 months.

Whitfield is a smart, moderate lady who is smarter than her statement.

Nice grasp at straws though.

 

Nice opinion piece.

 

No she needs to appologize period, no "if you were offended ". SHE needs to admit it was an offensive statement and disrepectful to the police he was trying to kill and then submit her resignation.

Has nothing to do with her intellegence it has to do with what she believes. You are in no position to speak for her and offer excuses.

I gave you two specifics.

 

Lol, i guess we'll ask the bubbleheads over at Fox to submit their resignation every time they say something offensive - intentional or not.

You tell me that i'm in no position to speak for her, and THEN pretend to know what she believes.

Comical

 

Exactly the post I would expect from an anti-America partisan like you Joe. Sadly, all your years of still not knowing the difference between brutal murdering tyranny like England posed on our forefathers, and some nut trying to kill innocent police just because he hates them speaks volumes from your ability to distinguish the difference. Like I said, liberal loons are the real enemy of America

 

But how "smart" is it to call a stone cold lunatic in his zombie van
(filled with an assortment of deadly shrapnel packed pipe bombs) brave and courageous?

Calling Dr. Freud...Ms. Whitfield's slip is showing. Don't forget who she broadcasts for.

 

I believe i already said three times in this thread that it was a dumb thing to say. Okay.. let's make it four: It was a dumb thing to say.

Smart people say dumb things from time to time. Even here in PF.

 

One group is killing people just for being different. The other group is protecting those people.

It doesn't say much about your intelligence that you can't see the difference.

 

But I haven't commented on this issue at all, until just now.

What I object to is calling her mistake "dumb" rather than calling it telling or insightful. She is from CNN, after all, so I guess you'd rather not properly characterize the mistake.

Someone else brought up the name of Timothy McVeigh and I'll bet an infinite number of CNN broadcasters, talking until the end of time, would never use the words "brave" and "courageous" to describe his actions at the Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City.

But Ms. Whitfield, it seems, just couldn't help letting those two telling words of admiration slip out. Taking on an entire station house of uniformed pigs, oppressors of the ghetto, overseers with cops badges...how courageous can you get?

 

I don't think you understand what the words mean.

 

Why does acknowledging the reality of someone's actions as being brave have anything to do with supporting them?

The Nazis were pretty brave at Stalingrad, acknowledging that doesn't mean I support Nazis.

 

Wow... so you think that a man in an armor plated van running up into a police headquarters and opening fire is even REMOTELY comparable to a group of people exercising their right to bear arms while peacefully demonstrating against a government gone awry?

Typical leftie

 

Nidal Hassan attacked unarmed people. Not really the same thing.

How exactly was the Oklahoma Federal Building a strong defensive force that could and did fight back?

- - - Updated - - -

Why are both sides not able to be brave and courageous?

 

Oh, i've seen countless RW-ers on these chat boards defend what McVeigh did as brave and courageous. He was after all a registered R and card carrying NRA member.

And you know, he wouldn't have done it if Janet Reno hadn't torched that nice young man in Waco.

Need more violent RW rhetoric?

Wonder how much that sort of nonsense contributes to RW domestic terrorism?

Is attacking a superior force singlehandedly when you have no chance of success an act of cowardice?

 

Had they said something this offensive I have no doubt you would. And I'm not pretending, I take her at her word I don't try to change them to suit me.

You assume she didn't mean it.

 

So what does any of this have to do with the CNN anchor lady that you tried to get off the hook?
Nothing.

 

Did it occur to you the "brave and courageous" imply honor and high duty?

 

And I'm guessing they'll do neither! That's simply how liberals see thugs and criminals, believing most are just poor and misguided, and it's all the fault of "society" because they can't get jobs and the "wealthy" hoard all the money! Once you have that kind of mentality as a base, they would be just as likely to call a suicide bomber who blows up a bus full of children "brave and courageous!
The real question is why any decent person with half a brain would continue to watch CNN! I find the best way to register our outrage over leftist commentators like her are to never turn on that network again! And I fervently hope everyone else does the same!

 

You're the one who brought up McVeigh. But if you insist, nothing --- so i'll say it fifth (sixth?) time: What she said was dumb.

And your politicians say dumb stuff (much of it likely inciting crazy right wingers to violence) all the time.
