Brokaw: U.S. partly to blame for Boston terror Veteran NBC anchor attempts moral equivalency
wnd ^ | 9/22/10 | staff

Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw strongly suggested Sunday that America is partly to blame for the gruesome terrorists attacks in Boston, because the young, Muslim men involved may have felt “alienated” and angry over U.S. drone strikes on “innocent civilians” in Muslim countries abroad.

Brokaw, who has been playing the role of media elder statesman since retiring, went on NBC’s “Meet the Press” with host David Gregory to discuss last week’s Boston bombings, which killed three and injured 183.

“There are a couple of things to remember here, David, I think for all of us,” Brokaw intoned. “With the death of Osama bin Laden, Islamic rage did not go away. In fact, in some ways it’s more dangerous. This is a perfect example.”

He said Americans need to take a hard look at “the roots” of why so many Muslims, including Americanized terrorists like the Tsarnaev brothers in Boston, want to kill them.

Brokaw and his friends should be shouldering a great deal of blame, America... not so much

OK, where’s the “Aw geez, not this s**t again” pic?? This stuff gets so old. Aren’t people sick of hearing the broken record of liberal guilt?

He should be tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail. Haven’t Americans had enough of this BS from the liberal elites?

Oh, more sophistry from intellectual hacks.

In the onehand we are being told not to conflate their Moslem Religion with their murdureous rampage and on the other we are told they are Moslem sympathizers who wanted to get in their little bit of retibution for all the atrocities we supposedly visit on Moslem peeps.

Boo Hoo!!!!

Would he have felt the same way if the bombers were white Christian males?

If anyone but these terrorists are to blame it's Brokaw and his comrades in the enemedia siding with the enemy. Bastards all!

Oh yes. America would still be to blame, only more so.

Little Tommy "Blame America First" Brokaw speaks!

He said Americans need to take a hard look at “the roots” of why so many Muslims, including Americanized terrorists like the Tsarnaev brothers in Boston, want to kill them.

Americans need to do no such thing. The Muzzies need to crawl back into the hole they crawled out of. This is OUR country, NOT THEIRS.

Somebody needs to tell little Tommy the old adage, "You messes with the bull, you gets the horn", might tell tell the muzzies that also.
Got a few other adages which would apply, but don't want to get a post deleted or worse.

Nuff said......I guess :)

So it’s our fault that an 8-year old boy is now dead?

According to Tommy, we need to stop hurting their feelings so they won’t kill us.

Sadly it’s fools like this in positions of power that will get many more people maimed and killed.

I wonder how the people who were at the Boston Marathon feel about Tommy right now. I’d be willing to be that a few of them would like to kick his ass.
