Dr. Phil and the Fort Hood Killer

His terrorist motive is obvious to everyone but the press and the Army brass.

By DOROTHY RABINOWITZ

Snip: To those not terrorized by fear of offending Muslim sensitivities, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's motive was instantly clear: It was an act of terrorism by a man with a record of expressing virulent, anti-American, pro-jihadist sentiments. All were conspicuous signs of danger his Army superiors chose to ignore.

Snip: One of the first outbreaks of these fevers, the night of the shootings, featured television's star psychologist, Dr. Phil, who was outraged when fellow panelist and former JAG officer Tom Kenniff observed that he had been listening to a lot of psychobabble and evasions about Maj. Hasan's motives.

A shocked Dr. Phil, appalled that the guest had publicly mentioned Maj. Hasan's Islamic identity, went on to present what was, in essence, the case for Maj. Hasan as victim"............

Obama is ignoring this terrorist act because he does not want this to reported, ( with his willing accomplices in MSM), as the first of many terrorist attacks to come under his watch.

I don't agree with Dr Phil, but when you asked a member of a certain profession for his opinion on any given event, don't be surprised when he/she answers in a way that is greatly colored by their professional experience.

Ask a cobbler for his thoughts on Hasan and he will at least wonder if the problem isn't possibly related to ill-fitting shoes.

I saw a grocery store tabloid with a picture of the bald asshole (Dr. Fellatio) with a headline: Dr. Phil Dead in 3 Years!! Hell, maybe we can move up his execution date!

They should hire the same investigator they did for guy that executed Tiller. He was able to come to some conclusions really quickly. The mystery of this Hasan guy just lingers on!

Why does Dr. Phil have trouble calling this Muslim evil? A man who killed many many more than the nut who shot the abortion doctor? And even shot the wounded?

I suspect it's because Muslims are the new blacks. Puffed up liberals feel "oh so superior" standing with them and taking on the middle classs - the REAL people they hate... hate so much that even a murderer gets their support.

I suspect Dr.Phil is a politically correct, mean spirited idiot...

I’m wondering if we will ever see info again about the alleged gunman’s fatherhood or the children who used to live with hi, or if the memory hole is closed.

I’m thinking perhaps half the reason Hasan went postal was Antidepressants. Wondering if anyone has checked out his medicine cabinet.

All of the school shooters were on anti’d’s and as a psychiatrist he had access to the pills.

Drugs combined with islamo fascist ideology are a BAD combination...

Excellent point!

Not that he wasn't already a rabid jihadi, but add some fluoxetine or paroxetine and that would be some bad mojo!

I saw that too.

Probably BS.

But I wouldn’t be sad if he had to quit his stupid show to undergo cancer treatment.

Soooo what happened? This was almost 2 years ago. Was he charged? Fined? Publicly flogged? No. Like most other “practicing without a license” charges, it was probably handled administratively and vewy, vewy quietly.

My wife used to DVR Dr. Phil everyday, after overhearing it play back I soon detected the devout liberal in good ol' Dr. Phil.

One of his favorite sayings - and he should remember this where the Ft. Hood killer is involved, "The best indicator of current behavior is past behavior."

I don't know about all the tabloid stuff about him, as they will say anything, but I do know that we no longer watch him as he is obama material all the way.

When Oklahoma City was bombed or when have a murder of an abortion doctor, the left blames conservatives, talk radio, and everyone on the right that they can think of. But in this obvious case of Islamic terrorism, we are not supposed to blame Islamic terrorism.

I think it odd that no one (not even Dr. Phil himself) mentions his “compassion” as connected to his very public claim of being a Christian.
