If I see another headline about "the tragedy" at Fort Hood, I will vomit. It was a massacre, a terrorist attack, an example of "going Muslim" on Christians and Jews and other non-Muslims by a religious-fanatic murderer. Not some put-upon, discriminated-against, sad sack we must now feel sorry for. Piss on you, Maj. Hasan, and all your fellow-travelers.
The sorrow of the loved ones of the dead and maimed is real. But the old media manipulates us with their canned sorrow, no less than the politicians who can turn it on and off like a faucet. They couldn’t care less. Most of them never served and never will. Their buddy Barry, who also never served, will come to Fort Hood today to give his version of canned sorrow. He should, instead, lead by undermining the political correctness and bureaucratic cowardice and inertia that caused this travesty. But he won’t. It got him elected, after all.
UPDATE: President Pantywaist came, he saw, and he coddled. Hasan may have cracked from "stress."
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Good for you! It was not a tragedy, it was an atrocity, perpetrated by a “religious fanatic murderer,” as you say. I go one step further in my post on this: he is a coward, to boot. Joined the Army of his own accord and got a ‘free ride’ for years until he had to pay it back by serving in a war zone, poor baby (he should rot in hell).
Atrocity, indeed. But I do not believe his deployment had anything to do with his murders. As a field-grade officer he could quite easily have refused to go and, at worst, been forced to get out of the service. Or, more likely, as a member of a “poor minority group,” given a desk job. He is a Jihadist, pure and simple, killing infidels for Allah.
In this regard: a stupid question on Fox today:
• YOU DECIDE: An Act of Terror, or a Horrific Crime?
Like it couldn’t be both…
Fox usually has more sense than the rest of the news media (which is why Barry hates it so much), but this Fort Hood denial disease is pretty powerful stuff.
