feel the same way as Chris Hayes, their idea of Service to one's country comprises<br>
the attendance at some law school or political donation to correct the ills of<br>
their country and to scold the unwashed masses!

      <![CDATA[Up with Chris Hayes is a great show, I’ve probably seen all but 5 of both the weekly Sat and Sun editions since I found it last September. One media critic recently said he watches it because something different is going on with it, and that’s the attraction to me.<br>
I watched the “heroes” discussion last Sunday.

      <![CDATA[Curious that one man can strip supposed false honor from others while others will defend him from having the same thing. A man who truly believed in the honor of what he was saying would have found somewhere more legitimate than MSNBC so he could peer down on the whole world of intellectual peons.<br>
<br>
Now will he man up to criticism and debate or will hide in the pseudo free world of alternative metro news publishers and their minority "intellectual" readership.

I agree wholeheartedly with Hayes' assessment. There is a difference between heroic actions and heroic occupations/jobs.

      <![CDATA[It should also be noted, I think, that Hayes comments did not come as an attempt to shock viewers or create some firestorm. At least, I don't think any reasonable viewer of the segment could interpret it that way.

I suppose 'retort' can carry that connotation. Even so, a confrontation is welcome, in my book.
