Media 'Cringe' That Mass Killer a Muslim Since It 'Inflames' Right Wing, 'That Makes It Much Worse'

Newsweek's Evan Thomas regretted the Fort Hood mass murderer, Major Nidal Hasan, is a Muslim because of how that reality will be abused by conservatives. On this weekend's Inside Washington, Thomas, now Editor at Large with Newsweek after stints as Assistant Managing Editor and Washington bureau chief, rued:
I cringe that he's a Muslim. I mean, because it inflames all the fears. I think he's probably just a nut case. But with that label attached to him, it will get the right wing going and it just -- I mean these things are tragic, but that makes it much worse.
NPR's Nina Totenberg soon chimed in with agreement: “It really is tragic that he was a Muslim.”

Audio: MP3 clip

The weekly Inside Washington is produced by Washington, DC's ABC affiliate, WJLA-DT which runs it on Sunday morning, but it's first aired Friday nights on the PBS station and is carried several times by the DC-area all-news cable channel, NewsChannel 8.

Liberals have little knowledge

Of basic human insticts do they.

How could you expect liberals to know how a culture of hatred and blood lust has so many of their members that just seem to cook-off. My mom would tell them, it's their upbringing.

Rehab for terrorist

These loons want us to believe that all that needs to be done to stop acts of terrorism is to send them to terrorist rehab.

The tragic part is

these idiots find any sympathy for this monster.

Sympathy, Yes

Without any regard as to how a Muslim is brought up to hate Infidels and to believe that exterminating them is religiously okay. Taunts? Teases? Whoopti freakin' do! If that will be his ''excuse'' then every child in the world is capable of mass murder.

Napolitano Warns Against Anti-Muslim Backlash

Now, the official administration reaction  

Homeland Security secretary reassures Arab world that U.S. authorities were taking measures to quell anti-Islam sentiments after Fort Hood rampage.

There's nothing in this story about taking measures against islamic terrorism in the U.S. Not that I would expect it with this administration. After all, didn't obama tell us "to not jump to conclusions"? I guess now we know why -- Napolitano has just now informed us of the official WH conclusion -- there are just too many damed anti-Islam sentiments in this country!

Only a liberal would think

Only a liberal would think that it's a great month when innocent people get killed by a "religious minority."  You seem frustrated that this killer wasn't a white male soldier or even a Christian to boot.  Someone that fits the liberal PC mold of a radical, when the radicals are more like you and your ilk.  You also have something in common with this killer; you both have a warped sense of "critical" thinking.

Also, you notice how this cowardly liberal, one of many, just drops some ridiculous comment and doesn't have the cahonies to defend it?  Hmmm, someone's emotions getting the best of them maybe?

i think that when tim

i think that when tim mcveigh blew up a building, he did not act on behalf of all conservatives.  i think when a muslim kills a bunch of innocent people he does not act on behalf of 1 billion muslims around the globe.  i could be wrong, but this is what i belief.  I think the killer's religion is irrelevant, and any discussion of his being a muslim only takes focus away from greiving for the dead

that was nice

The only note-worthy figure I've heard identify or praise McVeigh's politics was liberal icon Gore Vidal, who recently called his former pen-pal a "true patriot" and "a Constitution man."

'Irrelevant'? He shot 40 people while screaming 'Allahu Akbar'!

I wonder what you wrote when Edward Tiller shot an abortionist?

It's said that when a 'Christian' shoots someone a hundred thousand fingers are on the trigger, but when a Muslim murders people he acts alone.

Your liberal BS isn't going to work this time, punk.

The evidence is all over the place that Hasan was an Islamic jihadist who shot pregnant women in the back while screaming 'Allahu Akbar'.

This was, pure and simple, Islamic terrorism.

 ...Are you trying to say we should disarm the military?

I don't know how to break this to you, pal, but for the military, especially the Army, guns are kind of important.

Do you think 'gun control' laws are going to prevent a soldier from getting his hands on a Beretta M-9, an M-4, an M-249, or a hand grenade (remember Asan Akbar who 'fragged' his entire chain of command?)

  You are too stupid to breathe. The preferred method of Jihad is suicide bombing. Gunless. Guns did not bring down Pan Am 103. Did not blow a hole in the USS Cole. Did not play a factor in 9/11, the Riyadh bombings, the African embassy bombings. Bali, London, Madrid. The bombings in India, Pakistan, Iraq, or Afghanistan.

How odd. I point out absolute truths:

  • Muslims kill any and all ways. ABSOLUTELY TRUE
  • Mulsims sword people's heads off in the 21st Century. ABSOLUTELY TRUE
  • Muslims pilot passenger jets loaded with people into buildings loaded with people. ABSOLUTELY TRUE
  • Muslims commit suicide to kill people, at an alarming rate all over the world, and in so many countless and inventive ways the list would be endless. ABSOLUTELY TRUE
  • Muslims kill in more homicidal/traditional ways as well, a lot. ABSOLUTELY TRUE
  • YOU NAME IT, they do it. ABSOLUTELY TRUE
  • With zest.... Indeed, they often can not wait for death, it seems, because it's all for their God and for 72 virgins, and they make sure we know by yelling out "Allah Ackbar" almost every time. ABSOLUTELY TRUE 

And the idiot calls me an idiot.

The actual idiot's a funny one.

How many?

 there are damn near one billion muslims in this country and you honestly think they are all blood thristy murderers.

Then, when you respond with the dumbest of dumb responses, yet again, you will force me to post a PopTech-esque list. And, believe me, you don't want that (nor does anyone here...)

And he/she/it/ZeroThoughtlessIslamLover ends with the smug "you must be ignorant cuz you have not encountered a Muslim". I live in NYC. Take a guess, moron.

"Oh, you're not a big fan of Christianity and pro-lifers? Hey, quick question, since you talk a lot about abortion clinics, you know, 'them': have you ever....." aaaaghhh.... yuck yuck.

Stop loving and defending glorious Islam so much. It makes no sense. But then, you and sense are complete strangers.

 

Now you've really stepped in it, punk.

 "...there are damn near one billion muslims in this country and you honestly think they are all blood thristy murderers."

That's absolute bullsh*t and you know it. No one here is saying that except you.

(Where in the hell did you pull that 'one billion' number from, pal?Probably out of your ass. Must have been quite a task, what with your head being in the way and all that. There's only about 200-300 million Americans in this country.)

No one is tarring Muslims with the same brush except you. Yes, you.

The problem with twerps like you is that you think we think like you think.

If that last sentence confuses you, well let me break it down.

The only one on this forum who's said anything remotely like that has been you. That's what you think.

The fact remains that there is a violent sect of Islamic extremists that unashamedly shout to the world that anyone who is not a member of this sect (and that includes other Muslims too) is an infidel and must be converted, subjugated or killed.

Major Hasan has proclaimed himself on many occasions in many different settings to be a member of this fanatical group. His Islamic terrorist jihadic mass shootings confirm this to all but the most deliberately blind.

And yes, I've met a few Muslims. Several hundred thousand, as a matter of fact.

You see, I spent thirteen months in a small patch of Arabian desert called Bahrain as part of the Naval Security Force during Operation Desert Storm.

I got to know quite a few Muslims...and Sikhs, and Pakistanis, and Gurkhas, and Sri Lankans, and Filipinos among others.

So you might want to think before you appoint yourself an authority on what a Muslim 'is'.

How does a mindless lemming come up with a name like criticalthinking? You have no political philosophy other than talking points from DailyKos and MediaMatters...Just another commie..Go away before you really embarrass yourself, you have no knowledge of how or why this country was founded....

two things 1. i would

two things

1. i would never read the drivell written on liberal blogs.  I have too much respect for my eyes.

2. I actually have a honors degree in American history so i would have to argue that if i have any knowledge about anything, it would be about this country and how it was founded.

Lesson one for you might be a reminder that the government the founding fathers created was astonishingly liberal considering the times.  

Your education has failed

Your education has failed you. Our founding fathers created a representational form of government, in direct refutation of the alternatives at the time -- aristocracies and monarchies. In so doing, they emphasized certain principles such as personal responsibility, limited government, and states rights. They also created the Bill of Rights to ensure that we, as citizens, kept a rein on Government.

So yes, when compared to aristocracies and monarchies, our Government was "liberal".

You, unfortunately, are trying to tell us that our founding fathers wanted the type of government modern-day liberals want -- big, bloated, expensive, punitive, and in control of every aspect of our lives. This is patently false. Our founding fathers wanted no such thing. And you are either the most uneducated student of American history there ever was, or you are delibertly trying to distort the facts. I believe it's the former, having paid attention to your past posts. I don't think you're capable of distorting the facts -- you're only capable of repeating talking points.

Check The Label

Muslim is not a "label," it's objective and specific information about an individual. But Evan Thomas cringes because Hasan has "that label attached to him."

The left has always scolded about "labelling" people because it stereotypes them or is "hateful." Thomas revealed that he thinks Muslim is a label, so he was stereotyping Hasan when he said it was attached to him.   

The Label . . .

That just so happens to fit a murderous cult that seem to do this kind of stuff - over 14,000 times since 9/11 as a matter of fact.

Since 9/11 over 14,342 muslim terrorist acts have occurred around the world.

I'm on your side, bro. I was just trying to point out another example of liberal hypocrisy. In other words, if a "label" stigmatizes people, then this bleeding heart liberal was implying that "Muslim" is a stigma. 

Personally, I wouldn't trust any Muslim as far as I could throw them. Why take the chance? I'm quite aware of the history of Muslim attacks against our country and citizens going way back to the 70's. I especially remember how horrified I was when the Greek cruise ship Achille Lauro was attacked, and Americans were taken hostage. A Jewish man named Leon Klinghoffer was shot and dumped overboard........in his wheelchair.

My user name "miss911ninja" means that I'm still pissed, I will never forget, and that I'm a warrior in spirit. After 9/11 I would have joined the armed services if it was possible, but I was past the age limit.

Was not addressing you but the folks in the article (''But with that label attached to him, it will get the right wing going...'') - sort of a contiuation of your comment, an expansion. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

No need to apologize! I thought maybe your post was a continuation of mine but I wasn't sure, so my reply was just a precaution. And thanks for the great link in your expansion to my comments. That site is loaded! I bookmarked it.

By the way, I heard on Fox News this morning that Homeland Security Chairman Senator Joe Lieberman intends to initiate an investigation into the motivation behind Hasan's attack. Lieberman said he showed signs of being a "self radicalized home grown terrorist." Good for Joe! 

"Newsweek's Evan Thomas

"Newsweek's Evan Thomas regretted the Fort Hood mass murderer, Major Nidal Hasan, is a Muslim"

No regrets that the troops were murdered and many more wounded. Just regrets that poor, little, misunderstood Hasan is a Muslim. Has anyone in the media even mentioned the names of the murdered and wounded troops, much less given any background about them? I have`nt heard it. It`s all about poor, abused, Hasan. The media is slobbering all over him. The media in this country STINKS! 

Liberal morons...

“It really is tragic that he was a Muslim.” 

No, you idiots...What is tragic is that this Muslim nutcase murdered 13 and wounded almost 40 of his fellow Americans and soldiers...Thomas "cringes" that Hasan is a Muslim?? Is he also "cringing" because Hasan slaughtered 13 people???

And as for Thomas' contention that the fact that Hasan is a Muslim "inflames" the right-wing? What should inflame everybody is Hasan's crime...not merely that he is a Muslim...Hasan's faith becomes an issue if it is determined that is was a driving force behind the attack (which it appears to have been)...Do Thomas and Totenberg not understand this??

Idiots.

The problem here is the 9/10 mentality that has pervaded the left for years, but more prevalently since Obama was sworn in.  Here we have a soldier of Arab ethnicity, chanting "Allahu ackbar!" as he guns down his band of brothers -- and the MSM warns us to not jump to any conclusions that his faith (the "religion of peace") is in any way a factor in his crimes.

Sorry, MSM.  I'm calling bull***t.

It appears that there were a number of red flags about Hasan, and he was being watched...Unfortunately, if there was any action that was being contemplated concerning him, it wasn't taken soon enough.

It would be interesting to see the comparisons here with the shoe on the other foot. How did Newsweek and/or Even Thomas feel ("regret") the murder of late-term abortionist George Tiller? Were they concerned that the left would use the murder against conservatives and Christians?

Jus curious?

What's worse....?

Poor Muslims who may get dirty looks at the supermarket or being gunned down simply for serving your country by an angry Muslim who is supposed to be on your side?   As hard as the left tries to warn us about the "backlash" against those poor Muslims it has never happened.     If no one shot up a mosque over 9-11 then it ain't gonna' happen.   We have 13 dead soldiers shot dead by a Muslim.   That's a fact.    When have Muslim Americans ever been gunned down by right-wing conservatives...?

Sometimes you make your point in strange ways but I always seem to agree with you. You said it very well. The fringe idiots all seem to suffer the same illness, memory of 11 seconds. Not only are the media idiots making excuses for terrorist attacks but think back and many of those attacks that killed American civilians and soldiers went unanswered. No justice even today. Now that makes me cry.

He cringes that he was a muslim.

  As though it was some fluke that could not be helped like he had (gasp) a third nipple. I was just looking for some words of my own.

 Yea. The guy was doing the work of allah just like all the other muslims I and others listed. 

 I like the 2nd cajun too. That first cajun. Nah, not so much. cajun2. My new friend. ;-)

He's not "just a muslim".

He's not "just a muslim". He's a muslim that shouted "Allahu akbar! -- Arabic for "God is great!" when he opened fire. He equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades. He got into frequent arguments with others in the military who supported the wars. He received a poor performance evaluation. And while he was an intern, Hasan had some "difficulties" that required counseling and extra supervision.

I think he was radicalized by an extremist ideology -- islamic jihadism -- which fuels acts of terror. So yes -- being a muslim is heart and center of this case, not "an accidental fact".

BTW, I've heard also that "he didn't want to go fight other muslims" which is why he didn't want to deploy. And the MSM is going to sympathize with that. Before they do, though, they need to answer this question: What about all the Christians who have had to go to war to fight other "Chrisitians"? What's the difference? The difference is the religion. Being a muslim, according to the Koran, means you kill anyone who isn't a muslim. Again -- the radicalization of a religion.

It will be illuminating to measure the column inches in newspapers and the air time on TV these creeps devote to "explaining" the killer's motives (coming dangerously close to making the major the victim), and compare that to the space and time devoted to telling the stories and trauma of the victims and their families.

I think we already know the results of the comparison.

I'm sure a movie will be made about his life. Growing up in the intolerant US of A. Trying to do good by joining the military that he loves. Being betrayed by an out-of-control cowboy president. Seeing his homeland destroyed by said president. Trying to make amends by comforting returning soldiers -- and getting harrassed for his troubles...

Are the tears flowing yet? If not, then read on.

And the last scene is of him laying on the ground, being heroically revived by the medical team.....

But as luck would have it, Major Hasan is a Muslim, and this little inconvenient, untimely fact puts several annoying, embarrassing little wrenches into their multicultural-diversity fantasies and dilusions.  Why, how long did it take them to regard Major Hasan as the true victim here? And what of the 13 soldiers who were murdered by this lunatic? I hear crickets for them! Obozo took his time to express his condolences as well, not that I'm surprised.

Mr S -- the UK Daily

Mr S -- the UK Daily Telegraph is reporting that Hasan attended the same mosk as TWO of the 9/11 hijackers in 2001. AT THE SAME TIME.

Meanwhile, authorities and liberal media still have NO IDEA why he did what he did,  but are 100% sure it had nothing to do with the religion of submission.

Fort Hood shooting: Texas army killer linked to September 11 terrorists
Major Nidal Malik Hasan worshipped at a mosque led by a radical imam said to be a "spiritual adviser" to three of the hijackers who attacked America on Sept 11, 2001.

By Philip Sherwell and Alex Spillius
Published: 8:17PM GMT 07 Nov 2009

Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt. His mother's funeral was held there in May that year.

The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organizations.

But seriously folks, here's what I'd like someone to ask the top brass in the US army.  Maybe in the state controlled PC media...

Is there a POLICY to ignore evidence that a Muslim recruit may, in fact, be an unstable influence -- to put it at its most PC.

And further, is it policy to PROMOTE Muslims to achieve some sort of  secret "quota".

Think that's going to happen? Err, not very likely. Maybe someone in Congress may ask? 

The state controlled leftist media are just a bunch of DOUCHE BAGGERS (D-BAGGERS)

The government has ADVISORS who share similar views.

 And Hasan was apparently one of them...with a 'Homeland Security' advisory team.

Federal law enforcement has also invited CAIR 'sensitivity trainers' who support 'jihad'.

And of course Obama has deliberately chosen his own appointees and advisors for their complete unwillingness to confront the truth of an ongoing domestic Islamic 'jihad':

(excerpt below)

----

"The (Muslim) sensitivity training program, denounced by some active and former agents, was mandated after the 9/11 attacks by FBI Director Robert Mueller.

FBI headquarters defends the program as a way to reach out to the Muslim community in America.

"I hate the word 'sensitivity' training," said FBI spokesman Ed Cogswell. "I would call it an awareness training relative to cultural issues."

Mueller has met several times with Arab and Muslim groups since 9/11. He even agreed to be the keynote speaker at the American Muslim Council conference in Washington – a move that drew fire from AMC critics, who note the group has sung the praises of Islamic terrorist groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah, and was headed by al-Qaida fundraiser Abdurahman Alamoudi, now serving time in federal prison on terror charges.

"Mueller should lead the FBI in this war, and leave the sensitivity sessions to the human resources department or CNN," complained retired FBI special agent Don Lavey, who served 20 years in the bureau's counterterrorism unit.

"Let's just hope the director is leading the charge in this war against terrorism with an equal amount of zeal that he shows for cultural sensitivities," added Lavey, who claims Mueller is so politically correct he refuses to use "Islamic" and "terrorism" in the same sentence."

Anyone still wondering why federal law enforcement didn't aggressively investigate Hasan's increasingly radical beliefs and dangerous statements?

'Doubling down on stupid is not a particularly good idea'~Breitbart

I remember the Reagan years,

I remember the Reagan years, when many "Thomas-like" liberals would not believe that the Soviet Union posed a threat to the United States unless they saw with their own eyes a missile headed our way. By that time it would be too late to do anything about it. Fast forward 30 years and the same liberals will not see jihadism as a threat to the United States until they see a bullet flying directly at their head. By that time it will be too late to do anything about it.

Personally

I think liberals are worse than the muslim jihadists. Why wasn't this Hasan guy flagged for his obvious extremism. From what I have heard he was obviously headed for some kind of showdown, breakdown or whatever. I have to blame PC on this one either that or authorities et al were incredibly stupid not to pick this up (The other kind of stupid is being afraid of the PC police).

These tragedies always happen because the shooter knows that his targets are unarmed.  These anti-second amendment laws are allowing people to be murdered, robbed and raped.  These thugs will not put themselves in a position where they can be gunned down by their would-be victims before they can get the first round off thus robbing them of the infamy they dream of.

It is fundamentally the Communists and their panty waist Liberal sycophants in our own government that have put the American people at risk by pulling our teeth with these social engineering gun laws that do nothing to keep monsters from being armed. 

Of course one can say the responsibility is that of the murderer, but I maintain that those that put you in that position are at least complicit.

NCOs and officers at least should be armed at all times.  When we we were in convoys we had M-16s and M-60s with us, but no ammo.  We would have been sitting ducks for anyone wanting them...and that's lame to be in the Army and not even able to protect weapons, other government property and ourselves.

*** A MUST-READ, PEOPLE ***

Here's the blow-by-blow of this Muslim scum, which will be hard to find on all of the appeasing news sites:

The shooting rampage began shortly after 1:20 p.m. Thursday, as scores of soldiers from the 36th engineer brigade, which has the motto "Stay Rugged," waited for medical exams at the Soldier Readiness Processing Center, a gymnasium-sized building at Fort Hood where troops are prepped for deployment. The process is long and as the soldiers milled about, they texted friends, called parents, watched ESPN.

Then, chaos.

Authorities say several witnesses heard Maj. Hasan open fire with two weapons, neither of them Army-issued. One person with knowledge of the weapons said one was a revolver, the other a FN Herstal "Five-seveN"tactical pistol, which one firearms Web site describes as capable of defeating "most body armor in military service around the world today."

The FN carries 20 rounds per magazine. One witness said he saw Maj. Hasan reload at least once. A medic who treated the major's injuries said his camouflage cargo pant pockets were full of magazines.

The shots came so rapidly that Pvt. First Class Marquest Smith, who was going over some paperwork in a cubicle in the building, says he first thought he was hearing microwave popcorn.

Someone shouted: "Gun!"

Pvt. Smith dived under a desk. He says he waited several long minutes, listening to the terror unfold, until he thought he should make a dash for safety.

As he broke for the door, he saw Maj. Hasan in combat fatigues, moving around the room. His handgun was pointed downward, he said, as though he were methodically shooting the soldiers who had fallen or were crouching, seeking cover.

A bullet hit Pvt. Smith's boot as he fled, sticking in the sole. His mom called, too, on Thursday, and he told her he was fine.

The first 911 calls to the police station on base came in at 1:23 p.m. Officers across the sprawling base sprang into action.

Kimberly Munley, a 35-year-old police officer, happened to be nearby, waiting for her squad car to get a tune-up, when she heard the commotion. She raced to the scene, according to her boss, Chuck Medley, director of emergency services on base.

As she rounded a corner, she saw Maj. Hasan chasing a wounded soldier through an open courtyard. He looked as though he was trying to "finish off" the wounded soldier, Mr. Medley said."

He looked extremely focused," said Francisco De La Serna, a 23-year-old medic who had fled the building and was watching the same scene unfold from a hiding spot across the street.

Ms. Munley's first shot missed Maj. Hasan. He spun to face her and began charging, Mr. Medley said.

The time was 1:27 p.m., just four minutes after the initial 911 call.

Authorities haven't said precisely how many shots were fired during the running gun battle between Maj. Hasan and Ms. Munley. But one of her shots hit Mr. Hasan in the torso, knocking him to the ground. With that, officials say, she quite likely prevented more injuries or deaths on the base.

Ms. Munley took two bullets to her legs. Both entered her left thigh, ripped through the flesh and lodged in her right thigh. She also received a minor wound to the right wrist.

Specialist De La Serna, the medic hiding across the street, sprinted to the scene as the shooting stopped and put a tourniquet on Ms. Munley, who was fading in and out of consciousness, he said. Then he moved to Maj. Hasan, who had a gunshot wound through the chest. Mr. De La Serna described the wounded major as calm and quiet, conscious but weak, a handgun at his side.

 

Re Blow by Blow

Thanks for that. I'd been wondering about his weapon(s), and not heard a proper identification. I'm not that familiar with Herstal's stuff, here's a link to that handgun for others not familiar- http://www.fnherstal.com

It's a handgun that basically fires a small-caliber but rifle-style cartridge, and can be 'armor-penetrating' with the proper round, which you can take to mean it would penetrate typical woven body armor. There was a hoo-hah from the gun control lobby when the gun first became available. Those cartridges are hard to get though. 20-cartridge magazine.

Wouldn't the critique of this handgun be like that of the M-16; lack of stopping power?

Your writeup infers Munley shot Hasan only once; other accounts say four times. 

It will be interesting to see how the Bamster treats Munley; I assume that they will meet at some point. He might wet his pants meeting her.

Who The Hell Cares What Gun Was Used!?

If he used a bomb instead would you be talking about how C-4 was made??

The relevant point is why aren't more soldiers armed on base! THAT is how you stop murdering psychopaths.

Clearly, CO's are just as stupid as hyprocrit elected officials and must be held fully accountable for the deaths they directly assisted in with their assinine policies.

Muslims used to inflame me

Muslims used to inflame me but decided Libs were easier to get ahold of..

Could they be any more

Could they be any more transparent?

Liberal loons, hearing that this nut case was Muslim, are now in a screaming panic.  They aren't saying it out loud, but you know what they're thinking.  They're thinking, 'You fool!  Why couldn't you just keep it bottled in for a little longer?  We're in the process of destroying the country that both you Muslims, and we liberals hate!  Just sit back, shut up and let us do the work for you!  When you go on your murdering rampages, you make it harder for us to destroy the country because you make the American people aware of the danger you and your terrorist buddies represent!  So just cool it - let us distract them, and our boy Obama will give you everything you want!'

I swear the liberal loons

I swear the liberal loons won't be happy till the Muslims are in charge, the gays are being beheaded, the women are all confined to home unless they are wearing burkahs, and the middle class is destroyed.

IT WAS AN ACT OF ISLAMIC TERROR!!!

I'm not going to let anyone call it anything else.

As GUN CONTROL has nothing to do with GUNS, so HEALTH CONTROL has nothing to do with HEALTH.

More In-depth reporting please...!

“It really is tragic that he was a Muslim.”

It sure is, because if he wasn't, this probably wouldn't have happened...

Happily, the Uniform Code of Military Justice will be there to hang or shoot the bastard. (And I really can't wait to see which.)

Being libertard reporters and against any kind of violence being used against a muslim in the pursuit of his jihad, I'd suggest you stand in front of him just before he's shot, just to get his 'take' on being killed, would you please?  Inquiring minds want to know.

And by the way...

I agree with tailgunner. 

This was a terrorist attack, straight up.

All of our bloggers should reference it as "the terrorist attack at fort Hood", or "the terrorist Hasan".

I think I will absolutely insist on it myself. 

What else?

What else could one possibly call it?  I dont guess it would be a hate crime - naaahhh, couldnt be.

what's really tragic

Is that a soldier, an officer no less who is supposed to look out for the well being of his soldiers, would take up arms against his fellow soldiers who were unarmed.  That's the thing.

Idiots

These idiots don't even consider it a possiblilty that this dirtbag was a jihadist.  I don't know if their heads are buried in the sand, or shoved up their a$$es!  

Wait I GOT IT!!!!!!!!

Evan Thomas can go to his God, Barack Obama, and get him to resurrect all of the dead.  Then God Obama can roll back time and we can start Thursday all over again.

I cringe that he's a Muslim.

Yeah, she'd be much happier if he were a Southern Baptist extremist, or a Presbyterian organist that went off the deep end over election and predestination.

Well, sugar, bless your heart, we dont always get what we want.  This time I guess you'll just have to settle for a deranged Muslim.  I'm sure you can find a way to blame "right-wing" talk radio for it.

Maybe you'll get lucky next time and an Episcopalian will go off someplace. These types of thing are so common, you know.

"It really is tragic that he was a Muslim..."

"It really is tragic that he was a Muslim." Nina is so insightful. If his religion had been anything else, the attack would never have happened. That likelihood seems to be lost on this mental giant. Baptist and Methodist terrorists have been in short supply of late. Yes, I've heard all of the nonsense about McVeigh and Nichols, too. Any thinking person knows that Muslims were all over the Oklahoma City bombing as well. That it's always a minority who perpetrate such assaults is irrelevant. If the minority were just 7%, that would be 93 million Muslims-over 1/3 of the population of the United States. 

Agree with Thal and Nina

Agree with Thal and Nina that it is tragic that anyone is a muslim. Would have the same opinion about satanists. However I doubt that is what Nina meant. I also doubt that with the murder of abortionist Tiller that Nina said that it was tragic that his murderer was a Christian because that would empower leftwingers. In fact I bet you could find quotes of Nina and her leftwing panelists calling Tiller's killer a terrorist, but could you find one of her's calling that Major a terrorist? I doubt it.

Evan, Nina, Americans aren't afraid, but we are keeping track.

The question is, what are the local Imams doing to identify potential shooters and bombers in our mosques?

The point is, after awhile we are going to grow tired of Cleric's shock and suprise when one of their flock does something terrible.

My advice to all Muslim leaders in our country is that they send out that secret decoder ring email ordering their flock to cool off.

Simple solution right?

 We'll see...

 

Psychotic Sniveling Brats.

That's alll they are.

The Liberal Mind: Psychological Causes of Political Madness by Dr. Lyle Rossiter

"Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded,”

“Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.”

“A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity – as liberals do,”

"A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population – as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation’s citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state – as liberals do.”

“The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind,” 

“When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious.”

 

Nina Totenberg is an odious fool

NPR's Nina Totenberg soon chimed in with agreement: “It really is tragic that he was a Muslim.”  Yes, Nina it would have been so much less tragic if he had not been a Muslim.  Gosh, if only those thirteen people had been killed by a non-Muslim we would all feel so much better about their slaughter.

Gee, maybe if it had been a

Gee, maybe if it had been a Christian who opened fire they may have cared more about the victims and their families instead of what conservatives or anyone else thought about the suspect or his beliefs. Just think, if this monster had just been a Christian, they could have spared some concern for the morale of the troops who still have to ship out and their families, who now have just one more thing to worry about their loved one's deployment.

No, the true tragedy is that someone might infer from the suspect's comments that he was acting in a manner befitting the same people who are so cowardly and devoid of honor they can only attack civilians who can't fight back and in situations in which they know they have the advantage over real men and women of courage, if only for a few moments.  

 

Too bad Evan Thomas and his fellow-traveling Obamagandists...
