Clown? Me? LOL

You are right that no one is allowed to call a Muslim murderer a Muslim. But there is a rush to judgment so to speak with any non-Muslim killer. When I made my original post, I was thinking about the guy in Arizona who shot Congresswoman Giffords and killed those other people. Right away, the media painted him as a right-wing conservative. Turned out later that the guy hadn’t voted in years; so his politics really were unknown. This fellow in Norway now is being portrayed as a conservative Christian; yet in his rantings, he doesn’t mention Jesus at all.

Trouble is that these labels persist. When people talk about the Tucson shooter, many still call him a right wing conservative. I have tried to correct them, but they will continue to insist that is what he is. Our media has a lot of influence on people’s thinking and at times like these, that is not a good thing.

I feel this way: if we can’t call a Muslim a Muslim, we shouldn’t be able to attach some label to anyone else. Let’s just assume that the killer went ‘round the bend. Most likely, except for Muslim extremists who are indoctrinated to kill, that is what happened. His politics or his religion have nothing to do with the crime.

Maybe I was out of line with "clown." Sorry for any offense.

Unfortunately, the presstitutes are pushing the "Christian Conservative" meme. We must counter it.

Talk about his online posts. Ask them if this sounds like a conservative.

Remember the DC Sniper? The eneMedia pushed the criminal profile of a white, male, middleaged, Christian, former military memeber. They were quiet when it was a black muslim. They played up his military service for sympathy.

We're in a war of words. We have to counter their lies.
