Time for Less Yeldin

Yesterday NBC News correspondent Ayman Mohyeldin was on Morning Joe on MSNBC and had this to say about the late Chris Kyle who is the subject of the current film "American Sniper".

 A lot of his stories when he was back home in Texas, a lot of his own personal opinions about what he was doing in Iraq, how he viewed Iraqis. Some of what people have described as his racist tendencies towards Iraqis and Muslims when he was going on some of these, you know, killing sprees in Iraq on assignment.

It's really hard to imagine that a news correspondent for an American news organization would call the mission of a US marine sniper a "killing spree" or that derogatory comments about the terrorists that sniper was fighting make him "racist".  In fact, it is only in a fantasy world where political left wing ideology rules that a soldier following proper military orders and protecting other Americans from attack that such terminology would be even considered.

The truth is that Ayman Mohyeldin needs to go.  NBC may not dump him, but Comcast (which owns NBC) ought to do so right now.  the disgusting anti-American thoughts of this so-called reporter ought not be broadcast anymore.

Just to be clear, Mohyeldin has the right to have these views as well as the right to state them on the air.  We have the right not to buy products from companies that advertise on NBC and MSNBC.
