Chgo's Mayor Daley: Guns, Not Islam, Caused Fort Hood Massacre
Publius Forum ^ | 11/11/09 | Warner Todd Huston

On November 5 on CNN, Florida Governor Charlie Crist told Wolf Blitzer that he didn't back the $787 billion Obama stimulus bill. Crist has since said that it isn't a flip flop when he says he supported the stimulus "in concept" but didn't support the specific bill.

In essence he's trying to have it both ways. Claiming he wasn't a supporter of the actual bill, but hedging by saying he felt something was necessary. It seems to be Crist's way of straddling the line.

Unfortunately, the facts seem to belie Crist's delicately balanced tightrope act because in February of 2009 Crist was one of 18 U.S. governors (along with the governor of the Virgin Islands) that signed a letter informing President Obama that they supported the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)...

Wow is that one brazen. Crist signs a letter supporting the stimulus then months later bold-facedly claims he never supported the stimulus!

Actually it was bullets, not guns, that killed the people.

Let’s not miss the forest for the trees, though.

It was a hail of bullets that took DOWN the rampaging jihadist.

Amazing how guns just go off like that. Must be a serious design problem.

Just like an unprincipled, self-interested, tin-eared politician, Mayor Richard Daley decided to use the massacre at Fort Hood to flog his prosaic anti-gun message in Chicago.

When asked if Islam had anything at all to do with the Fort Hood massacre and if Muslims might expect some sort of backlash or anti-Islamic movement because of Nidal Hasan’s evil act of terror, Daley replied:

“Every day in society people are getting killed, unfortunately. America loves guns, we love guns to a point that we see the devastation on a daily basis. You don’t blame a group, you don’t blame a society… i,i,immigrant community because of actions of one group, uh one individual, you cannot say that.”

So, guns caused the Fort Hood massacre? Of course, this absurd claim does not square with the Major Hasan’s history of radical Islamism, but, hey, if you can use someone else’s “tragedy” to push your political message… what the heck, eh?So, not only was Daley his usually inarticulate self, but he found himself not above using this crime to push his own particular political message; his anti-gun zealotry.

The post has nothing to do with the Title of the Post.

That is why I posted the lead paragraphs.

No, you blame corrupt machine politicians and the corrupt legislature and courts that protect and coddle the individual terrorists and criminals at the expense of law abiding citizens.

That's who you blame!

Yo, Mayer Daley,

How does this account for your personal hero, Al Capone. And on the other Barry the first Pro-Chicago-Anti-Amrican president.

I believe it. Just the other day our SUV went on an Earth destroying rampage. Sure, it may have looked like an ordinary trip to the store for milk and bread - but its’ sinister plan surely resulted in a 3.452F degree increase at the North Pole.

So Chicago’s Mayor-for-Life, that paragon of crimefighting and good government, speaks on an issue that has nothing to do with him.

Yo, Richie, don’t you have some bribes to pay off today or something? STFU.

Daley thinks an Army officer on an army base couldn’t get his hands on a gun.

Hey Daley - cops in Chicago have guns. How many of them are Muslims? When will they go jihad against civilians? Get the point????

I had to add this:

Americans don't love guns, you fool. Americans love freedom; and American's cherish their right to own and to use firearms, if necessary, to defend those freedoms. This truth is so basic that even Daley should understand it: Guns don't kill people, people kill people. There's another little saying that I like more. "If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns." Actually, that's not quite correct. Only the government and the criminals will have guns. And another little reminder: Blaming guns is the easy way out. If you blame guns for violence in the inner city, you don't have to address the black culture of violence. If you blame guns for Ft. Hood, you don't have to address the Islamic culture of violence. You focus on objects, not people, and objects don't vote. You're safe in your demagoguery.
