Well … yes, that’s true, if you think anything short of Hasan sitting up in his hospital bed and declaring “why, indeed, religion was a factor at Fort Hood” amounts to irresponsible speculation.
But here’s what we’ve got so far, according to eyewitnesses, colleagues, and friends.
He considered the war on terror a “war on Islam” and himself a Muslim first and an American second; he thought Muslims had the right to stand up to the “aggressor” in the Middle East and is suspected of posting things online about the selfless heroism of jihadist suicide bombers; he was placed on probation for proselytizing about Islam to patients and colleagues and was sufficiently devout that he refused to have his picture taken with women; he once used a lecture at a medical conference as an opportunity to discuss how the Koran orders decapitation for infidels; and, oh yes, he yelled “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire.
Now, per the media’s favored Narrative, could a guy with that background have somehow compartmentalized that in his mind and been driven to kill entirely by pre-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD by proxy or whatever?
I guess. Anything’s possible. But would the same benefit of the doubt be given to a nut trending towards fanaticism of a different ideological hue?
Like I said yesterday on Twitter: You’ll know it’s okay to start speculating about Hasan’s motives when cops find a Glenn Beck book on his bookshelf.

yea OK
he only shouted allah akbar while doing it
he was known for his radical Islamic views, his writings on websites etc
I can’t believe anyone is dumb enough to think this was not a terrorist action done in the name if Islam
Chrissy may never figure out how to wipe his butt
You will if you drink enough Kool Aid.
Looks like we’ll just have to do what we always do, blame conservative talk radio. Right Chrissy?
Pea brain idiot, insults peas.
C’mon, Chris.... enough BS!
Yeah, it would be a total horse of a different color, if he had been reading Glen Beck’s book, but because he is Islamic, it’s off limits to even comment on it. Americans need to do some serious PROFILING.
And we may never know if Chris Matthews has a brain.
It's hard to believe how some people will whore themselves to toe the PC line. Chrissie Boy just keeps outdoing himself since he was struck by the incurable restless leg tingling syndrome.
my mother came over form the UK and she is 78 and got stopped searched etc.
Right past her was 3 pakistani young lads who just walked right by with not a care in the world
seems my 78 mother is more of a threat .
....chrimisdumbbump
We don’t know if both engines falling off the plane caused it to crash, we may never know! Chrissy you are such a moron
This guy is such an idiot.
I can’t believe anyone is dumb enough to think this was not a terrorist action done in the name if Islam
************
I’d like to see the results of a Rasmussen poll on this one.
Last year i was disappointed with how stupid so many Americans were on election day- I think they might do a little bit better this time.
So let me get this straight Chrissy Matthews, a guy wearing muslim garb from head to to, give away all his belongings and passes out the Quron to neighbors, goes on Islamic extremist web sites and talks about muslims fighting the aggressors and how heroic suicide bombers are, goes into an army base, screams Allah Akbar before shooting a bunch of people, you don’t know if religion had anything to do with it LOL LOL..Ok man..now I understand how you were able to get a job in the Carter Administration..did you wear matching “I’m with stupid” T-shirts
Chrissy is about ready for a padded room.
Totally delusional.
Sounds like it was an interesting conference call from the WH this morning??
Pray for America and Ft Hood
Why do we waste precious FR bandwidth with Tinkerbell Matthews’ crap? You don’t need to read anything about him at all...just find the truth, and juxtapose it by 180%, and you have.....Cris “tinkerbell” Matthews.
yea OK
he only shouted allah akbar while doing it
he was known for his radical Islamic views, his writings on websites etc
I can’t believe anyone is dumb enough to think this was not a terrorist action done in the name if Islam
saved me the effort well said
Leftists are IDIOTS!
The Left is in the Pilots seat of this big ol’ airplane.
That means IDIOTS are piloting the plane.
WE DON’T have any parachutes.
Pray for a soft landing.
That was liberal speak for “we will never say anything bad about an islamic terrorist”.
Can’t wait to get the Obama take on this. It really throws a wrinkle in that religion of peace thingy.
“Chrissy may never figure out how to wipe his butt”
He should consult his copy of the Koran. They have instructions.
I just want to Scream "Bulls#!+" at the top of my lungs when these people speak.
Was talking to my sister on the phone tonight about this story and the facts, yes facts, she was unaware of because of the news she watches was just incredible.
and extra pages
Spittle might seem insane but really it all makes sense if you understand that he is a Stalinist to the core. He’d gut his own mother for the State.
LOL!
When will the obfuscation be made to right wing religious conservative?, and not what it appears to be.
I am so tired of the stupidity of these people.
1) Looks like a duck? Yes.
2) Walks like a duck? Yes.
3) Quacks like a duck? Yes.
Therefore, you’ve got a duck on your hands.
Somewhere Tipp O’Neil is rolling over in his grave.
When Chrissy was his legislative aide, Tipp must have tried to teach him how to be devious, partisan and heavy-handed.
But stupid beyond belief was never on the syllabus.
quick eh? :)
Beat me by 4 minutes
Chris is exactly right. If Obama and the Left have any say in it, we may never know if religion was a factor.
This is code speak for MSM to make sure they move along.
Ya see... Chris’s head is really in his pant seat and his a## is sitting on his shoulders.
Hey Chris. I have a great idea. Why don’t we ask him?
I don't believe these apologists are dumb. I believe they are on the take. I believe they will say anything if the money is right and Islam has a lot of cash to toss around.
They lower level lefties, the KOS kids, and DU yeah...they are like the strawberries the NKVD cultivated. But the real powerbrokers and the media flacks the chekists hired back then were in it for the money and I believe the same holds true today.
Interesting dilema developing for these liberal/marxist reporters now...Hasan is in a coma but expected to live. Are they gonna pull the plug on him or insist that he be kept alive in a vegetative state paid for with our tax dollars?
Decisions..Decisions.....lol. Sounds like one for the Pelosi/Obama Death Panels...(eye roll)
I try to listen to all points of view on all the network news and commentary programs just to get a perspective on how everyone is presenting the events of the day. However, I can’t watch Matthews, Maddow or Olbermann, I just can’t. I would rather, get ready; listen to Obama (gag, barf, gag).
MSNBC ratings are Way way down because Dufuses like this Chris Matthead Insult the Viewers Intelligence.
Its a Hate Crime you $+@#:*in IDIOT !
YOU LIE......saying “we may never know”.....we know and you can’t change a diaper let alone change anyones mind that it was a Jihadist.
Hey, Chris ....yeah, You.... Spin This !
Jack Bauer would find out.
WE KNOW.
