Boston Marathon bombing survivor Adrianne Haslet-Davis allegedly walked out of the set of Meet the Press with David Gregory.

A survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing stormed off the set of NBC’s Meet the Press in tears on Friday after being asked to comment on Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev — after she was allegedly promised their names would not be mentioned.

Adrianne Haslet-Davis, a dancer who lost part of one leg during the attack, tweeted after the taping:

I feel so disrespected @meetthepress I asked politely yesterday and you said yes. Now you choose to use the name instead.

You would trust a law-breaking drunk?

Probably because she’d been through a traumatic life changing event and didn’t want to deal with those emotions on national TV.

Just a guess.

Among the pigs in “news entertainment”, Gregory is one of the biggest.

“Or you can go back to stone tablets.”

Or lose elections. Many believe that it was Obama’s use of huge amounts of data and electronic media that enabled them to get out the vote and win. Probably used to get out the vote more than once.

#vote4me: “Bus no.8, leaves Deerborn to Detroit at 8am. Free cigs.”

#vote4me: “Vanpools from Detroit to North Heights at 10am, free soda. Don’t forget, no ‘Che Guevara’ t-shirts”.

That is what WE need to be doing - but legally.

#rightvote: “District 16 exit polls are close - who needs a ride?”

Well, she’s going to hear their names many times over in her lifetime. I’m no fan of David Gregory, but neither am I a fan of whining victims who can’t bear to hear names said.

Let’s see if I have this straight. NBC lied? I can’t believe it.

It would make sense, but lefties would have an apoplexy.

Here’s how I hope I would have answered:

“They were wicked. They needed the Lord. They apparently refused. I don’t envy their fate.”

So you’d show the lack of respect he did? She lost a leg but you consider that whining.

Have you killed any puppies today?

Sure, and she might have been mentally prepared had they not promised her.

Yes she was naive, I don’t see that worthy of insults.

Gregory is like a bad case of Syphyllis. You want to stay far away from him, and get shots just because his name was mentioned within 100 miles of you.

And yes that is being mean to her. I hope she answers them with class.

Why did she go on national TV if the bombing mentally "affected" her that much? Sympathy and hugs? World peace?

Her fault for putting herself in that position and MSNBCLSD for bringing her on. She can get mad and huffy at the two monsters that blew her leg off...Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev....

Never gonna happen SC I’m pretty sure they have to have permission from the person to run the interview which they will never get.
Besides nbc is paranoid about lawsuits and this one would be a whopper.
Standard issue for the drivebys. They lie incessantly as they already know they are above the law.
I may not be there Sunday sit in for me if you can.
Gotta go to N.Fort Myers on business.
