So when a guy slaps his wife because she burned the pot roast, he's trying to instill terror in the general population? If you're going to continue to try and defend the murder of Americans and promote Islamofascism, you'll need to do better than that, Reverend.

"All due respect, gentlemen, but you are wrong. I think it was an act of terrorism, because the perpetrator used violence to make his point and instill terror in the general population. "

That broad definition would make every domestic act of violence a terrorist attack. That's just silly….with all due respect.

Please conservatives…..think. No one is "excusing" Hasan. Show me one statement "excusing" Hasan. What we are doing is pointing out the hysterical nature of ignorant knee jerkers quick to condemn Obama or Muslims…for virtually anything.

King, with his eagerness to pronounce a final terrorist verdict, is not helpful. What Americans should be reviewing is the completely phony "war on terrorism" meme. I mean, crikey….how shallow are American conservatives?

Is that better Walt?

This from Walt.."but you suck in the area of critical thinking skills. To most 2+2=4. To you 2+2 = anything King and his fellow republican Christianista rodeo ass clowns say it is"
2 things: I never bring up my religion in my thoughts and I never cut and paste other peoples articles and waste space on Kings page. I also never mentioned the rodeo and I am afraid of clowns especially ass clowns. One scared me so bad when I was little that I came home from the circus and shot out all of our neighbors barn windows with my bb gun. I tried to tell my dad as he was beating my ass that I was a victim of "clown scare syndrome" and I kept seeing the clowns in the window reflections so I had to shoot them. He explained that the relection was mine and that's why he was beating my ass. All that hell just for being a dumbass clown kid that shot out some windows just to find out it really was my fault. I had to replace the windows and paint the barn…for free. If only I would have had someone guide me and explain that shooting out other peoples windows was bad.

By the way do you think the guy that killed, raped and burried those girls in his basement was another victim of our society that made a mistake? I do! Probably the white man holding a brother down so he thought he would kill and bury some of the local girls that wouldn't show him any attention. I like this kind of thinking. If I make excuses for everyone and no one has to take responsibility for their actions………
King you oughta try this…it's freeing!

"No, no," we were told. "You're taking such statements out of context, that's not how Obama thinks. Pay no mind to the weird neo-Soviet style propaganda art or the unsettling cult of personality."

Fort Hood suspect warned of threats within the ranks
By Dana Priest, Washington Post, November 10, 2009

The Army psychiatrist believed to have killed 13 people at Fort Hood warned a roomful of senior Army physicians a year and a half ago that to avoid “adverse events,” the military should allow Muslim soldiers to be released as conscientious objectors instead of fighting in wars against other Muslims.

As a senior-year psychiatric resident at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Maj. Nidal M. Hasan was supposed to make a presentation on a medical topic of his choosing as a culminating exercise of the residency program.

Instead, in late June 2007, he stood before his supervisors and about 25 other mental health staff members and lectured on Islam, suicide bombers and threats the military could encounter from Muslims conflicted about fighting in the Muslim countries of Iraq and Afghanistan, according to a copy of the presentation obtained by The Washington Post.

doesn't sound like a jihadist to me……..sounds like someone who understood the conflict of Muslims killing Muslims (just as I would think Christian killing Christian would create conflict for Christians). Christian killing Christian might not be the best example.

He was conflicted, he was angry, he was frustrated………he went postal

joe, you might have a masters degree but you suck in the area of critical thinking skills. To most 2+2=4. To you 2+2 = anything King and his fellow republican Christianista rodeo ass clowns say it is

from the story…….."The Army psychiatrist believed to have killed 13 people at Fort Hood warned a roomful of senior Army physicians……"

Q: you know how to drive a roomful of senior Army physicians crazy?

A: put them in a round room and tell them there's a bucket of shit in the corner

this from CounterPunch…….

"For another clue, we might want to consider a soldier who was also a psychology major, fluent in Arabic, whose career ended in violence, Alyssa Peterson.

Peterson, a U.S. Army Specialist, received her Arabic language certification, and served with the 101st Airborne in Iraq. She was an enlistee, a career intelligence officer, whose concentration was interrogation techniques. She found herself part of black ops, expected to participate in a clandestine operation in what we now know to have been so-called "alternative enhanced interrogation techniques" which she refused to do.

While the Army has denied it, sources close to Peterson say she was so deeply despondent about what she witnessed at the detention camp in Iraq that, on September 15, 2003, she was found with a bullet wound to her head, a victim of what the Army euphemistically called "non-hostile weapon discharge."

Like Hassan, Peterson was deeply religious. She was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day saints. Within days of taking her life, she was placed on suicide watch after refusing to participate in interrogation sessions at the airbase on the Syrian-Iraqi border, interrogations which she believed involved the torture of Iraqi prisoners."

a Christian outraged about torturing and murdering Muslims? Now that's straight up bullshit. But then the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints isn't a Christian Church.

you know what suicide watch in the Army is? They give you your sidearm but with only 1 bullet in it

From a previous post, why was this guy called a terrorist when it wasn't religion motivated, the guy was tired of the holocaust of American children. "Scott Roeder, the domestic terrorist, after years of domestic terrorist activity, pre-meditatively stalked, then assassinated Dr. Tiller in Kansas, all for political reasons". This was a one time killing not associated with our enemies that conspired and killed 4000 people on our own soil and have declared war against us. It makes no sense…does it?

if the report had said domestic violence I would agree with you but according to the story the report said serious crimes.

how many murders have there been?…..we can't even get a straight answer out of the Army how Pat Tillman died you think they are going to tell us about murders? For all we know Army Ranger Pat Tillman could have been fragged

how about the WSJ article about suicides……that doesn't raise any red flags for you?

if that's your definition then the U.S. Army would lead the pack in terrorism. So now we got terrorists killing terrorists.

joe…….I'm not defending him. I just agree with tory…..the guy went postal.

this from Antiwar.com……. "Where Will They Get the Troops?'……."At one point, despite a confidentiality protocol that should have prevented it, Wildman’s commanders went through his medical evaluations and found out that he had been involved in the accidental killing of two little girls in Iraq. They proceeded to needle him by threatening to write him up for war crimes. "

In the 6 years that he worked counseling soldiers with PTSD, I wonder how many stories he heard about "accidental" killings of women and children. Probably some of these soldiers even bragged about it. I would think that even a non-believer would feel outrage and anger. I couldn't do it.

let's say Hasan was al quada. Just as American soldiers are tasked with killing al quada so are al quada soldiers tasked with killing American soldiers. Certainly for those of you that are completely detached from the reality of war this must seem truly shocking.

As far as this being Obama'a war in Afghanistan, he is the president right? It is now his war and he is afraid to lead, beause he has no leadership experieince. He may be sending people to their deaths, imagine that pressure? However if he doesn't send in more troops the ones that are there are going to be annihilated. Now the war is on our own home soil and what is he doing? His people are explaining away the obvious so that no one has to take the blame for why this guy was even allowed to be in the military. Some of this could be Bushes fault also,this terrorist didn't recently join the army, he's been there for a while. The problem, terrorists may have infiltrated our military and the govt let them all for the sake of political correctness. During WWII did we let the japanese join our army? Some body dropped the ball and let this guy stay in his position even though they knew he had tried to contact Al'Kaida operatives. This is a leadership flaw, who is the commander in chief?

How do you know if Palin had character? You believed all of the lies they told you about her from the start. She had to have something to go from PTA president to Governor and VP candidate.

I'm reading The Rev's comments and Walter's comments saying that if anyone thinks the Ft. Hood shooting is an act of terrorism, the only possible reason anyone would think such a thing is because Nidal is a Muslim. All due respect, gentlemen, but you are wrong. I think it was an act of terrorism, because the perpetrator used violence to make his point and instill terror in the general population. Timothy McVeigh was a terrorist and he wasn't a Muslim. Would you call the Oklahoma City bombing an act of terrorism? Doesn't need to have a religious angle to fit the terrorist definition.

The nut who pulled the Fort Hood attack was never deployed in a war, and I've never seen any hard evidence that he was or was going to be. Only people making assumptions, and we all know that those are worthless.

I think it's absolutely stupid to regard every Muslim as a potential terrorist, but to turn a blind eye to obvious signals that someone is about to go postal is just as nuts. I think it should be investigated whether warning signs weren't investigated because of political correctness. Thirteen people are dead. We shouldn't let political correctness keep us from investigating ways we can prevent such an occurrence in the future.

Walt, when the muslim kills 20 people and injures 23 and shouts the gihadist war cry, after already being under investigation for acts related to attempted contact with a group that has declared war on the US, I think we should be a little concerned, don't you? Or do you need more proof even though it may "walk and quack like a duck," it may still be a chicken.

Keep defending him Walt.

these major crimes….are they the work of terrorists?"

or are they classified as terrorism ONLY when there is a Muslim involved?
