    • Look at the Muslim shooter at Fort Hood and the claim it's workplace violence and not terrorism. I'm really surprised more of the MSM doesn't have whiplash. They flip flop like a salmon that just got landed in a boat.

      • Yeah, workplace violence. THat's the ticket/ Never mind the guy was a Muslim, to had his breakdown when he was assigned to go overseas and fight other Muslims, and that he shouted the rvrt populat Alehu Akbar ( or whatever it is they yell during their attacks.) He was just real upset with the military. Umhmmm.

Not once in the article was his politcal affiliation [DEMOCRAT, IL] mentioned. Similarly, a crazed shooter's politics are ignored just as mention of the criminal Congressman's politcal party was carefully omitted.

    All in a day's work for the MSM.
