Now to discuss a couple different issues one of which I'm sure you've heard about and it's it's pretty infuriating.

And and -- scene and it and that some BC host actually came out the eve before memorial today and came out said that he felt uncomfortable.

Were -- -- referring to -- war dead as heroes.

We'll talk more about that after right -- welcome TJ McCormick here host of Sunday night with TJ McCormick on.

Kelly talk radio dot com and on TJ McCormick -- on Twitter yeah see you.

Policy that took your iPod did David -- -- former deputy national finance director of Democratic National Committee.

At beltway is your Twitter handle thank you very much David for coming on.

Are you still are being -- doing you Hayes told his audience on Sunday may 27 he was uncomfortable with -- to war dead as heroes.

He and I and I wanna quote I feel comfortable.

I'm comfortable about the word because it seems to me that it is so rhetorically proximate to justifications for more war.

I mean.

Okay he's apologized for this but as far as I'm concerned this is an empty apology that -- no no no on air host whether you're you're -- liberal bias and or not should be slamming down our our American men and women heroes than exhibiting their lives on the -- -- grandiose left.

Just pseudo intellectual who sat there.

Trot with his other fat heads.

I'm not gonna -- a -- network that happens to share the same slogan.

As the president -- campaign.

And just sat there and and basically -- an absolute fool of himself and and and showed.

Showed the whole world what it wouldn't elitist intellectual is all about and you know he's and he's having a hard time running away from it as as well he should because of a conservative -- sentiment as offensive is that.

-- and run out of town but -- is there any excuse for us.

-- -- let me just say -- server an awful lot of red meat from very early in the morning -- I've got enough around -- here on I took my aerobatics I'm ready.

I'm in I would -- -- -- up to being thinking out loud alarm and sometimes.

You know individuals don't.

Think through what -- end up but what ends up rolling their lives he has apologized.

I'm and I take that apology at face value and I think you'll be a little more thoughtful arm as he.

Our tries to -- comfortable in his role as a host of -- show on another channel.

I think a lot of lot I had not to have a sensor 99% of the time but adults say really stupid stuff.

Hey just to basically -- You know slammed down.

That the men and women in and their families and while I don't I don't think -- -- loved what am -- good humor is discussed seeing.

Not regard to a marine or an army official or any any soldier who's who's fighting a war isn't as well here's the intellectual side.

I think I I don't think that's and it's nice to have I -- -- I don't think that was the debate.

Whether or deny the man in and women that are serving us in all branches of -- and I don't I.

They have served their country he recognizes that.

How he defines heroes -- stuttering getting into the semantics of it I think was.

More very intellectual exchange if you will.

Then I'm making any kind of statement.

And I think -- to put anymore significance -- and to continue calling one another names doesn't get us anywhere put it that way.

-- and he is also saying within the context this again this pseudo intellectual goof ball was talking about.

He was talking about how.

It's oh that's what it was about it was it to refer to these people as heroes would potentially perpetuate.

The notion of war as an option and and and and good glamorize.

The battlefield and and and the fall -- -- it was it would like you said -- was thinking out loud but.

-- boy man you don't.

I don't like -- son and you know you stop thinking out loud.

Well I am gonna talk more about this in our next segment as well that I really wanted to -- both figure takes on this side considering you know there there's a lot of political fallout on this as well and and the media is often criticized.

Four.

Being insensitive to one party or not depending on which network you work for India the mainstream -- tends to me -- tends to.

To fall on the lap isn't.

I'll go out well where is the -- political war -- -- fox and MSNBC -- as the Democrats Republicans I don't I don't I didn't see the war.

Coming out and I think if somebody.

-- become going to be made on fox for example but in the opposite way that we would be lambasted by the media matters out there and a lot of the conservative web sites would they would.

They they would terrorists apart I don't feel like anybody else is really that could be the Blogosphere -- -- -- -- and you're exposed to -- and what.

-- hopefully out ones aren't you and other rises above the name calling so wouldn't get real.

Discussion going on substantive issues like Doug was talking about earlier regarding the economy -- in the name -- got to stop.

We need to get.

You know moving -- how do we get solutions today into a permanent course of correction from.

What we experienced in 2008 all right so whatever the guy says he's truly sorry I think he's an idiot.
