I happened to see NBC’s coverage of the murder on the day it happened. There was a big sign in the background saying “Workplace Violence”.

Sure enough they never even hinted at Islam being involved.

I sure hope nobody on FR is listening to Greta Van Sustern tonight interviewing the beheading guys sister. I was so disgusted.

I am so pissed at Greta for giving this crumb bumb a forum. Greta should be ashamed.

Anytime I see a hyphenated last name, I automatically know that an idiot is spouting off.

These idiots at MSNBC are aiding and abetting the enemy by providing cover for them. This way, they can continue with their jihad and not be blamed.
