Obama - Tea party protestors "extremists" - Muslim shooting people "not extremist "

Does it make sense that Obamacall people protesting his healyth care and government spending by using words as extremists, but cant bring himself to call the muslim terrorist that killed 14 and injured 30 one.

Does it make sense that you would laughably try and imply that he doesn't think Hasan is an extremist?

well he said no religion calls for that sort of activity leaving the muslim to have done this for the hell of it as opposed to for religious reasons so he didn't get tagged for allowing another successful muslim attack on American soil.

so yes, that would seem to make sense.

That's kind of a wacky interpretation, in my opinion.

"Tea party protestors "extremists" - Muslim shooting people "not extremist"

Evan Thomas of Newsweek Agrees with that... the US right wing are the ones to fear... not the Muslims that want to kill us or convert us.

Back up a second, Obama said:

But this much we do know - no faith justifies these murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with favor.
The murders were completely and utterly unjustified, in my opinion, so I would say that Obama's statements were correct.

but they are justified in muslim scripture and that same scripture has been justification for many many murders.

now you and I can find these partcular murders unjustified to us personally but I know I'm not a muslim and I dont think you are either so thats not really the issue.

it may be crazy but thats islam for you.

To you, me and the vast majority of America, nothing justifies these murders. Obama was addressing you, me and the vast majority of America.

Wouldn't you find it even more concerning if Obama said that these murders were justified in any sort of way?

there is no question in my mind that Hasan felt justified in doing this based on his "reiigion" much as a whole lot of other muslims feel justified in blowing up markets, flying planes into buildings and otherwise causing harm to people.

most of the time the point is made that what jihadis do is not representative of islam sometimes invoking the 'religion of peace' line. BHO took it a different way and I believe he did so, as is always the case for him, for effect.

that effect being to NOT have this seen as an act of terrorism.

which it surely was.

Actually, the FBI just concluded that this is not classified as an act of terrorism and Hasan will be charged with 13 counts of murder.

No...

Has he called peopel protesting healthcare extremists?

But, you think we should now assume he thinks he is a extremist?

Re: Obama - Tea party protestors "extremists" - Muslim shooting people "not extremist

So, what if Obama did call Hasan an extremist? Then people would be bitching that he put the tea party protesters on par with a mass murderer. When he doesn't call Hasan an extremist, everyone gets pissed at the implication that the tea party protesters are worse than Hasan.

Wouldn't it just be more straight forward to say "I'm pissed that Obama called the tea party protesters 'extremists'"?
