The Art of Ignoring the 800lb Gorilla

This past week, I have seen these boards and the mainstream news, constantly trying to downplay the incident at Ft. Hood. We were told, almost immediately, this was not an act of terrorism. We have been lectured for a week about how this doesn't reflect on the Islamic religion or all Muslims. TV journalists were initially hesitant to even mention Maj. Hussan's name, because "it could be problematic", one anchor said.

It seems we are now walking around on eggshells, trying to ignore the 800 lb gorilla in the room. Pretending Hussan's religious background and ties to radical Islamic beliefs, had nothing to do with what he did, and persecuting anyone who dares to acknowledge the 800 lb gorilla. The man was screaming "allah akbar" as he murdered US soldiers in cold blood. If that isn't terrorism, we need to sit down and have a fundamental debate over what constitutes terrorism, because apparently, some people just don't get it.

Now, if Maj. Hussan were listening to Rush, and looked like Tim McVeigh, I am certain the left would already have him convicted of domestic terrorism, and would be pushing to have right-wing talk radio banned, to protect us from future terror attacks like this. If Bush had waffled around on his war strategy in either Iraq or Afghanistan, and something like this happened on his watch, the left would certainly blame him, and immediately debunk the claims of how Bush had kept us safe for 8 years.

It must take a lot of effort to continue to ignore the gorilla.

Actually, he's off target as usual. Dixie doesn't listen to alternative news media unless it's capsulized by the denizens of ABC Talk Radio or in the WND. Had he done such, he would would have noticed that they were one step ahead of the MSM in getting the details. Hasan was conflicted about his faith to the point were he was being reported on by his fellow officers in 2007. Essentially, the system that should have tagged and removed this guy from active duty failed. Hasan had made numerous statements regarding his reluctance to go to Iraq, and had even had legal representation on that issue. All the evidence indicates that this guy had more personal issues than allegiance to a cause.

So explain this to me...The President's first reaction to the Henry Gates' arrest was, "I don't know all the facts." and then, "the Cambridge police acted stupidly..."

His first reaction to the shooting at Ft. Hood was, "We don't yet know all the details at this moment." and then "We don't know all the answers yet and I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we know all the facts,"

In both instances, the President readily admits that all of the facts are not known. In the case of his friend, Professor Gates, he afforded himself the luxury of jumping to a conclusion, but in the case of our friends at Ft. Hood, we are not to be allowed the same luxury. Why?

Just curious...

Dixie's right many times. It's just that he says the things you don't want to hear right now, but unfortunately you will, and likely it will be too late.

Well, in lieu of this thread becoming a referendum on your ass worship of Dixie, I'll just agree with the opening post of this thread.
 
yup dixie, good job. I agree.

Lets just get it out in the open, muslims are backwards thinking inferiors.

But its what he meant.

No it isn't. He specifically tied "radical islamic beliefs" to what he said. He also indicated that the trouble with the story of Ft Hood is the ridiculous commentary that ignores this fact.

The trouble you and others have with much of what Dixie posts is that you project all kinds of BS into what he actually says. Disagree with what he actually says not with what you project he says.
 
Normally I would expect some flak for the "muslims are inferior comment." But whenever I do my "christians are retards" speech I get a bunch of pats on the back and "lol go grind!"

I think all religious people are backwards inferiors, a detriment to our society, and that we would all be better off without such wastes of sperm and eggs.

and for the record, no one has to project anything regarding what dixie says. Dixie usually makes a fool of himself easily on his own.

Ice dancer, he doesn't believe 1/3rd exists. No, we are not taking anything out of context. You can ask him yourself.

No, that's what you claimed he said...two different things Grind. You can play kindergarden semantics all you like since harrassing Dixie is one of your favorite games, that and changing your screen name....must suck to be so uncreative:cool:


You used to be a lot more funny....now, well, <shrug>
 
ice dancer, I am sorry I called you a dipshit. You didn't get personal with me so I wont get personal with you. I take it back

And then she can see him destroy his own context alone. "YOU CAN'T HAVE EQUAL THIRDS OF 1!!!1!" followed up with "I NEVER SAID YOU CANT HAVE EQUAL THIRDS OF 1!!!"
