Just a nut

Islam Remains Innocent

A conservative media watchdog organization says for the most part, the mainstream media networks have downplayed the Muslim connections with terrorism in the Fort Hood massacre.

The Media Research Center (MRC) says that when authorities first announced the Fort Hood shooter was Major Nidal Malik Hasan, CBS and NBC purposefully avoided mentioning his name for fear of offending Muslims.

The Center points out that ABC's Charles Gibson suggested Hasan was a "Muslim convert," which was not a correct statement, but adds at least Gibson was not trying to play "hide and seek" with the facts.

The MRC also points out that during an interview with Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), CBS anchor Bob Schieffer attempted to downplay the Islamic terrorist aspect of the massacre. "It's looking more and more like he was just sort of a religious nut," stated Schieffer. "And you know, Islam doesn't have a majority; the Christian religion has its full helping of nuts, too."

Newsweek's Evan Thomas made a swipe at conservatives during an appearance on Inside Washington, according to the MRC. "I cringe that [Hasan is] a Muslim. I mean, because it just inflames all the fears," said Thomas. "I think he's probably just a nut case.

Maj. Nidal M. Hasan, the “Moderate Muslim” Army psychiatrist who, in the name of Allah, slaughtered 13 people at Fort Hood, was supposed to discuss a medical topic during a presentation to senior Army doctors in June 2007. Instead, he lectured on Islam, suicide bombers and threats the military could encounter from Muslims conflicted about fighting wars in Muslim countries. Pages from Major Hasan's PowerPoint presentation are reproduced below:

It is pretty hard to do. The media would have to follow the popcorn trail from the Mosque in NY.

"The only way America will ever be defeated by death-worshipping theocrats who've crawled out from under a Dark Ages rock is with the help of the mullahs' fifth column - academia, the media, the judiciary, public education, Hollywood and the Democratic Party.

Of the two suicide cults America confronts, liberalism is by far the more lethal."

-- Don Feder, In The War On Terror, Liberals Are More Dangerous Than Muslims -- A 9/11 meditation, September 19, 2006

The Weak Stream Media knows that if there were to be an AlQaeda attack on American soil on Zer0's watch...that would be the end of his Residency. So, what happened at Fort Hood wasn't an AlQaeda attack on American soil...it was something else... And even Chrissy Matthews asks, "emailing" AlQaeda...That's not a crime, is it?"
So move along, nothing to see here. These are't the AlQaeda droids you were looking for...

Life’s full of surprises. Here’s one from Time contributor and White House correspondent Nina Burleigh on the eminent myscoginst Bill Clinton:

“I would be happy to give him a blowjob just to thank him for keeping abortion legal. I think American women should be lining up with their presidential kneepads on to show their gratitude for keeping the theocracy off our backs.”

So what’s the big deal about feminists scurrying around in a burka ?
