At least four people were shot just after 10 a.m. Sunday at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, and a police SWAT team entered the building before noon and brought uninjured people out of the building at 7512 S. Howell Ave.

Among those who were shot was the president of the temple.

People were in the temple as early as 6:30 a.m. Sunday and many more were arriving for a service that was to begin about 11:30 a.m.

There were reports that children were taken to the building's basement after shots were fired.

A lot of people still don’t know the Fort Hood shooter was Islamic terrorism.

You're right - but if THIS shooter is white everyone will know it tomorrow (unless he's gay or liberal)...In which case he'll be 'mentally ill'...

My feed is back up (but does go silent for commercial messages) - I’ll monitor it and report what I hear.

I never said I do, did I moron?

Yes, you really did. Are you drunk or just a liar? You sure never give a straight answer to a straight question.

You said this about your singular Fox coverage:

Who's smarter?

a) someone who pays money to watch commercials

b) someone who gets better news with no commercials and doesn't have to pay anything

That was your reply to me asking about your magical Fox feed. Call me a moron some more. Your posts are here for anyone to read. You twist almost as good as 0b0z0.

Remember this?:

FOX News Sunday was on early this morning.

Honestly, I don't have a dog in your Fox fight. But, I switched from Fox to CNN hours ago because Fox wasn't giving much coverage to this story. I just checked, and at this moment they ARE re-playing Chris Wallace's show, just as they always do at this time on Sunday. I'm not sure why your Fox TV is different from everyone else's Fox TV...but it is. Are you watching your local Fox affiliate? 367 posted on Sunday, August 05, 2012 4:46:16 PM by lonevoice (Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days lived) [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 361 | View Replies | Report Abuse] ---------------------------------------------------------

You are one dishonest SOB, and not a very good liar.

Call me a moron some more. It won't help you, liar.

This is going from bad to worse. The left finally has a better narrative than they were able to get out of, for instance, the Tucson shooting.

White - check
Military veteran - check
white supremacist views - check
9-11 tattoo - check
religious bigot - check
stupid, thought Sikhs were Muslims - check
Targeted members of a minority - check

I see an Oak Creek Memorial-slash-campaign rally in our near future. The campaign T-shirts are already being printed. Obozo is going to call for a more civil tone, reflecting religious and minority tolerance. He’s obliquely (or not so obliquely) going to blame Michele Bachmann and Scott Walker for this.

It’s about to get real ugly.

Does this seem like overkill to anybody else? Awful lot of firepower and manpower for a lone shooter that is dead. Military geared up fBI, hundreds of ambulances and fire trucks,telling people to flee and not talk to media, Obama the golf king meeting with FBI and brenner?

There was originally a rumor to the effect of a breakup with a girlfriend in the Colorado shooting, too.

I haven’t read too many details, but we can be absolutely certain of one point:

the shooter was not a female, was most likely a Caucasian, and was not an Islamonazi. Because if the shooter had been any of these, they would not be calling it domestic terrorism, just as the Fort Hood murders were not terrorism.

No, we can be darn sure the shooter was some nutcase white male, because that is the only “type” that can be pegged as a domestic terrorist.

With tinfoil firmly in place...Ponder this......do ya think Obammy is desperately looking for ANY reason to declare Martial Law, and call off the elections, because that self centered Marxist dictator will NOT go quietly into that good night, should he LOSE election??!

A bald headed man would have stuck out like a sore thumb.

That's for sure. House rules in the temple - cover your head. Also the disciples who guard the book (that's not an altar in the Sikh temple, that's a library!) are always armed.

Yes, it seems way overkill for a loner nutcase.

And I still don’t see how anyone can mistake Sikhs for Muzzies.

>>I thought Sikhs only carried knives.

They don’t *only* carry knives. Sikhs do have to carry a knife as part of their religion. That is mandated from way back when in order to defend the religion.

Sikhs were always the main source of warriors in India although they are excellent business men and traders as well. In this case it’s unlikely the shooter was a Sikh, but I wouldn’t be surprised to hear many have firearms at home.

Afraid you are right. You know damn well that some media folks know the perp’s name though already. They don’t want his name released where the new media can do any digging on him. Everything and anything linking him to th e left or away from the right will be erased off the Internet by tonight. Something stinks for sure.
