It’s one thing to avoid the “terrorist” label when reporting on Ft. Hood suspect Major Nidal Hasan. It’s quite another to say that those who do use it are making a political calculation to “paint the Democrats as soft terror.” Yet that’s what MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow insisted on her Nov. 11 broadcast.
Maddow launched into a minute-and-a-half soliloquy on why it is bad for the Democratic Party when commentators label Hasan a “terrorist.” She even attempted to make the case on Hasan’s behalf against a terrorism label. Who needs a legal team when you have friends like Maddow and Chris Matthews, who fretted over the legality of Hasan’s al Qaeda communications?
“Remember this one? Yes, it is the old ‘paint the Democrats as soft on terror’ routine,” Maddow said. “But in order to play that politicizing terrorism, anti-Democratic greatest hits, the Fort Hood case has to be terrorism. Now, regardless of how you feel about the political issue of politicizing terrorism, it’s worth asking was Fort Hood, technically speaking, terrorism? It’s not just a political question. It’s not just a judgment call. It’s not just a matter of taste. It’s a question to which there is an answer, a legal answer.”

Has anyone seen Captain Obvious?
obambi? He's in China.
The odd thing is.....Rachel Madcow would be one of the first people Islamic Terrorists like Dr Hasan would be-head....she may like muzzies...but muzzies do not like women with jobs, wearing pants, having sex with other women.....
It’s hardly surprising. And I guarantee you Maddow would not recognize this as a case of bias. Fish don’t notice water.
It’s a question to which there is an answer, a legal answer.”
And the answer is YES.
Who listens to that dude anyway?
Hasan was looking for a wife. The two would’ve made such a handsome couple.
Aw, do the democrats feel bad because we know they’re soft on terrorists?
If the shoe fits. . . .
When Democrats push to close Gitmo, prosecute CIA agents, cripple the war on terror, and change terms to “Overseas Contingency Operations” and “Man Made Disasters” they are indeed painting themselves “Soft On Terror”. The unfortunate Hasan incident is just one more case of Reality messing up the Democrat’s version of Reality and it is in conflict with their own rhetoric.
ROFL! Nail on the head post.
‘Maddow Complains Labeling Hasan Terrorist Would ‘Paint the Democrats as Soft on Terror’
So what’s her point?
They in fact are using them to take out their hated enemy...America as the Constitution desscribes and enables it....so as to be able to form their Utopia...
See Horowitz's book...
Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left (Paperback)
...some will say...that is being said by Captain Obvious...
But most of the country doesn't understand that at all...and the Leftists are doing everything they can to keep things confused...
I think that article by WSJ's J.R. Dunn says in closing:
The terror conflict is a two-front war. It always has been, as reluctant as we have been to admit it. The time to open the second front is coming.
That article on FR is:
Well, DUH!
I actually laughed out loud- Maddow is delusional.
Sounds good go me E. That is exactly what the are. Leftistjihadalliance. Surely more mainstream Americans are finally getting a clue as how these folks operate.
