CNN anchor claims she ‘misspoke’ when she called the Dallas Police Department shooter ‘courageous and brave’
Yesterday CNN anchor Fredricka Whitfield took to the air and stated that while he might be crazy the man who planted bombs and shot up a Dallas Police Department was also “courageous and brave.” Needless to say, she felt quite a bit of backlash from the American people as well as from the police unions and today she claimed she misspoke. Here is what she had to say:
You probably noticed that she did not apologize in any way shape or form, she simply said she misspoke and that she really did not feel that way. I am sorry but I am not buying what she is selling: she did not simply misspeak because those are not words which would simply come into a person’s head unless he or she really felt that way. It was not an off-the-cuff remark.
She said what she said, in my opinion, because she meant it; she just did not see the backlash coming because she assumed her listening audience all felt the same way. It has been said in the past that a gaffe is when a politician accidentally tells the truth and I think the same can be said for media personnel as well…

Isn’t it queer how often the left “misspeaks” or flat out denies what they are recorded as saying? And how rare it is to hear an actual apology? Baltimore mayor, Baltimore states attorney, Oblabla, Hill-a-beans, Pelosi and on and on. And on the rare occation that they come close to an apology, it is one of those teenage “Sor reeee” or even worse, “sorry if I offended anyone’, which of course means tough shit.
Since they no nothing of guns, they practice the “ready, fire, aim” method.

Exactly Bruce; I always laugh when someone “apologizes” by saying they are sorry if they offended somebody. That is not an apology for what was said and it means the person is not sorry about what he or she said, they are just sorry you didn’t like it but they stand by the comment.

There are only 7 possible reasons for a person on the right to ever say anything less than perfect. Prager calls it “sixherb”, “Sexist, intolerant, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, racist, bigoted. That’s it, no other possibility.

Sorry is such an easy word to say, isn’t it? I am sorry she felt the need to say she was sorry. I am sorry she did not get the response she was looking for. I am sorry that TV station even has her in the public limelight. I am SORRY! See how easy that was for me?
The problem is, they say it, people listen, then they take it back….yah,,,NO, I do not buy it for one second that she did not mean it. The is always partial truth to what someone says…so which is it? She did not mean it at ALL or she meant it just a “little bit”….hmmmm!

Lou, I really do think she is sorry. She is sorry she has to put up with all this blow-back, She is sorry she is being called to task. But it is possible she did misspeak. She may have meant to say SHE is courageous and brave for putting up with “white privilege” oppression every day.

That’s right Lou, we see this all the time when the left makes an baseless claim and then take it back. The people always remember the original story and forget they admitted it was not true.

OT, I have Rush on right now…he is talking about women that say “you guys” to other women are actually offending them and it is racist or sexist or whatever….I have said that since early in my life, I have all brothers and boy cousins and that is just how it was. When I started school, my Granddad took me on the first day and when I got out of the car, that is what I said as I was running up to a group of girls,,,he had to remind me they were “girls”….BUT, I still have not changed. So, I guess I am going to offend someone today at some point. They will just have to suck it up and get over it…..if I offend them, oh well, I am certainly not sorry if they are that thin skinned that something so silly as that would offend them.

Aren’t you just a bit tired of everybody being offended by something? What happened to people just ignoring it if it upsets them? Now we have to make a major ordeal out of this crap. I am NOT a politically or socially correct person, I guess. Get over this pity party when something happens to you or is said about you, that you do not like.

In my mother’s lifetime, America went from the greatest generation, to the most delicate generation. I want to know, who raised this generation of whimps?

Well, Bruce, my parents didn’t raise whimps….we were survivors growing up in East St. Louis. There are alot of 20 and 30 somethings that see the light, but an equal amount that are “soft”. Is it the books on raising children that had something to do with it or that the teachers could no longer give swats? Maybe it was the fact that the neighbors no longer are watching the kids as closely as the parents and were given the ok to wack us if we were doing something wrong. I might not have feared my neighbors as much as my Pop, but all they needed to do was say they were going to tell our parents what we were doing and we switched gears. On top of that, my Mom only had to say “wait until your Father gets home” to send the fear of GOD thru us….now, you cannot touch the kids for fear of the government stepping in…maybe THAT is the real problem….kids no longer fear the the consequences of their actions. BUT, parents do have that fear of the GOVERNMENT! This is my take on it.
