These kinds of publications are a great way to identify the insane in our midst.

You wanna talk about a military on the brink? If this terrorist does not get the death penalty, I guarantee you thousands of US soldiers will quit.

This malik Hassan guy got a free education, lots of benefits, cushy job and never performed any actual service. He is way “overstreched”.

The knee jerk (and I mean jerk) reaction of these liberals never ceases to amaze me. I briefly channel surfed over Hannity last night, just long enough to see Geraldine Ferraro already blaming this guy’s actions on “harrassment” for being a Muslim. Based on reports, this guy was harrassing his patients, trying to convert them to Islam. Gee, I would think that would be a blatent misuse of an Army paychiatric’s position, but what do I know?

The bad thing is that there are a lot of people who read Time and Newsweek who think that this makes them sophisticated. As for this particular event, if it were a Christian who had done the killings, the media “take” would be very different. The focus would be on dangerous right-wing fundamentalists, not the stresses on an over-taxed military.

They want to use this mass murder and mayhem to promote their propaganda. It’s sickening.

Shouldn't Newsweak be blaming Obamah for this tragedy?

If only Obamah had brought the troops home, this soldier wouldn't have been 'distraught' about being dispatched back to Iraq/Pakistan?

Anyone want to take bets on how long before the fed up American public starts burning down these companies?

What are these guys nuts or what?

Every step these liberals take to destroy our country just moves us forward to riots...but that is probably what they want.

1. The shooter is a shrink.
2. He would never see the battlefield even if he was deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan. He’s medical staff.
3. Six months ago he should have been dealt with (medical discharge or dishonorable discharge) by the Pentagon. He was clearly off his rocker posting hate speech on radical websites.
4. Would like it if the folks at the pentagon would review how a war was conducted in the past. It’s doubtful that a radical or wacko would have been allowed to run amock.

And I don’t think he had ever been deployed.

In the interim I hope they ship him to the Texas State Prison and put him in general population, I’m sure Bubba looks forward to meeting him.

This writer’s approach is a roundabout version of “it’s Bush’s fault” - the overstretched military on two fronts, multiple deployments, etc. The gunman’s personality, beliefs, and motives fade into the background

The shooter just carried out the hatred the left has for the US, the Military, and the war.

Remember how the left blamed Rush and Beck for the death of that abortion doc? Just using their logic.

He’d never been deployed, and, as a psychiatrist, how likely is it he would ever have been in combat?

This is a common response from the MSM and liberals

9-11: Moveon.org wanted people to “cool down” and think about having “discussions with the enemy” to “understand muslim’s anger”.

Israeli airlines (LAX) shooting: Arab man with “mental problems” and “family/job” issues.

DC Sniper: “Protester”....misguided youth side-kick....mental instability.

Synagogue shootings (Seattle, LA): Just disgruntal youths or a man with “mental issues”.

Fort Hood: PTS

They ignore the warning signs, they ignore the perp’s prior actions, and they can’t get past the PC filters.

They won’t change until the gunman visits their live studios, pulls out a gun/bomb, shouts “God is great” and starts killing. Even then, the MSM will make up excuses.
