An eternal pox on the despicable bastards in the White House and in the so-called “news” media who perpetrated the hoax that Fort Hood was “workplace violence”

But can they do this if the shootings are still officially considered to be workplace violence, as opposed to a terror attack? Will Ft. Hood finally be considered a terrorist attack after all???

This is a tacit admission that the attack was not “work place violence”.

One small step in the right direction.

Obama has never heard of an act of Islamic terrorism.

“Obama has never heard of an act of Islamic terrorism.”

Oh he knows it, he’ll never admit it though. Thereby giving a silent wink and a nod to them to keep doing what their doing IMO.

...but I thought it was merely an incident of “workplace violence”.
(I’m still disgusted at how that was handled.)

This comes first.

Bergdahl will get a POW medal. Bergdahl's momma and poppa will be there and Obama will have another shot at grabbing momma's butt.

From Purpleheart.org:

“The Purple Heart is awarded to members of the armed forces of the U.S. who are wounded by an instrument of war in the hands of the enemy and posthumously to the next of kin in the name of those who are killed in action or die of wounds received in action.”

This means this is not workplace violence. This is officially being recognized as a wounding with an instrument of war by the enemy.

Will that be before or after they roll out the muslim prayer rug?

After all the blank these people have had to put up with, they should respectfully decline it.
