The shooting at Fort Hood was a random act of violence perpetrated by a crazed individual. It was a tragedy that should be met with silent reticence, but instead of mourning the loss, almost everybody in the country seems to have taken this as permission to talk the starkest nonsense. First, it's common knowledge that Hasan is Muslim and that he is crazy. So now that you've pointed out something that's clear to anyone with the intelligence of a gnat, what's next? Should we now profile all Muslim American soldiers in the armed forces? Should we impose religious restrictions on the people who volunteer to join the armed forces? What are you right wing nutters really trying to say? Be CLEAR. Spewing stupid talking points about political correctness or militant Islam, or making knee-jerk associations where they don't exist, doesn't help us get to the heart of any issue. To me this seems like just another opportunity to bash Muslims and the president. Yes, the president is right. Idiots exist and more often than not, they happen to be bigoted right wingers who are more than eager to vent their frustrations on people who even remotely "look" "muslim" like Indians and Sikhs. Where was all this outrage when the DHS report on right wing extremism came out? It's not Kosher when the report says that the nutters are on your side but it's perfectly OK to scream and shout and label everyone with a broad brush when the perpetrators are the "other" eh..Stupid f'ing nonsense....
