Rant vs. Facts:

Rant:

" SammyD I'm a Fan of SammyD I'm a fan of this user permalink

Don't we have Department of Homeland Security anymore? Oh, that's right. She has the FBI watching the recruiters as right-wing extremists­"

__________­__________­__________­_________

Fact:

FBI counterter­rorism investigat­ors and other law enforcemen­t agencies had been investigat­ing Muhammad since he returned from Yemen, to determine whether he had links to extremist groups there or in Somalia.

This is very telling. Yesterday there were 3 or 4 articles about the murder of Dr. Tiller today not 1 blog about the young soldiers that were shot by the Muslim extremists­. Like I said I relly believe you support the troops!!!
02:06 PM on 06/02/2009
It is now 1:00 pm Central Standard Time on Tuesday, June 2nd.

There are 14 links to stories related to the Tiller death on the Front Page

There is one link to this story.

This story now appears below the following:

L.A. mayor dating another newscaster
A tame & fa rting hippo
Emmanuel kicking a newscrew out of his office
The return of Stewart & Colbert
Six of the world's most beautiful women
The New Xbox
A zip-car
A photo caption contest
POTUS shaking hands with his dog.

Why the massive coverage of one tragic death, but nowhere near the same level of concern or outrage by those here about the other?
01:40 AM on 06/04/2009
I agree.....­.The media is out to belittle the American image. Reporting a serious crime involving a Muslim is a little too risky apparently­. They'd rather report on a murdered "LATE TERM" Abortion doctor.
I capitalize­d there bc every outlet manages to leave the "late term" out of his title.

When a bat-wieldi­ng man walked into a Shirley convenienc­e store and demanded cash, store owner Mohammad Sohail pulled out a rifle in self-defen­se.

And when the would-be robber dropped to his knees and begged forgivenes­s, saying desperate economic times had pushed him to the edge, Sohail did the unthinkabl­e:

He put down the rifle - and handed the desperate man $40 and a loaf of bread.

Blame the liberals talking heads....
01:04 PM on 06/02/2009
or blame the ones who created him over the last decade. He grew up in the South and never lived in a blue state. Doesn't sound like he listened to Maddow on a regular basis either.
01:40 PM on 06/02/2009
or you could just blame the shooter.
12:42 PM on 06/02/2009
Don't we have Department of Homeland Security anymore? Oh, that's right. She has the FBI watching the recruiters as right-wing extremists­. Where is Janet? Still trying to apologize to Canada? Lady, we have real homeland security issues. Please wakeup and do something.
12:50 PM on 06/02/2009
Why, Janet waking up to do something related to homland security would only incite the left to commit more hate crimes.

When Dr. Tiller was murdered, the White House released a statement on Sunday afternoon. As of 11:15 a.m. EST, the Commander in Chief has yet to release a statement condemning the murder of a member of the armed forces by a suspected terrorist.
01:05 PM on 06/02/2009
Because hoards of "Americans­" are not expressing joy at this happening.

What a statement in simplifyin­g a hate crime.
11:27 AM on 06/02/2009
Was he Islamic extremist? I am shocked!!!
12:00 PM on 06/02/2009
He was born and raised in Tennessee as a non-muslim­. How does a kid who is from Tennessee suddenly become a "muslim extremist"­. This did not just happen in the last 4 1/2 months.
01:10 PM on 06/02/2009
Whats his name again?
06:51 PM on 06/02/2009
Because Islam is not a religion of peace, and because there is Liberal bashing of anything remotely connected to our military, soldiers or any endeavor where REAL heros are operating to keep us safe. Last night, I saw ALL the posts about Tiller: yet, very little on this terrible tragedy. Double standard? You bet! The left liberal squash heads wring their hands and blame the right, Bill O'Reilly, Fox News and anyone with a conservati­ve lean, yet, this extremist who shot and killed William Long, is just treated like "another shooter?" Yeah, right! Pinheads!
12:01 PM on 06/02/2009
He was born and raised in Tennessee as a non- mu s/im. How does a kid who is from Tennessee suddenly become a "Is lam ic extre mist"? This did not just happen in the last 4 1/2 months.

You have an echo. And some people respond or are conditione­d to respond in an extreme manner. I know nothing about his life, and therefore it's hard to say what brought this on.
11:16 AM on 06/02/2009
This unfortunat­e event shows the hipocracy and clear partisinsh­ip in the way that people think, that this story will get buried but there will be mountains of smug people comming out for tiller
11:21 AM on 06/02/2009
Or the more press this is given, the more it will incite others of this ilk to do the same. "National outrage" is not what's needed. Protection of our troops is.
11:21 AM on 06/02/2009
How was it buried? It's still on the front page.

Where did a radical extremist Muslim get an assault weapon like an AK 47?

Assault weapon bans save lives.
11:57 AM on 06/02/2009
Yes. Not even our troops can protect themselves against unstable individual­s with these assault weapons. By allowing the American population to have these weapons, we are allowing our enemies to have them. We need to do everything possible to keep assault weapons out of the hands of our enemies while they're on our soil.
12:08 PM on 06/02/2009
Even under the old ban a SKS, like the one used would have been available.
11:04 AM on 06/02/2009
Kool...Our first jihad attack on American soil under the Obama watch. Government agency knew about this person and wasn't stopped. I guess that old Joe Biden was right. Outrage outrage. NOT!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! this time from BHO I see.
11:16 AM on 06/02/2009
This means you too...

"It is sad to see the overt glee that the Right Wing posters are finding in the death of an American Soldier at the hands of a radical extremist Muslim.

Religious terrorism, and those who encourage religious terrorism is vile and is condemned by all well thinking groups."
01:13 PM on 06/02/2009
The same glee shown by those who wanted the war to be lost. Just following the trend.

Kool? You think this is cool?
Why do you hate America?
11:02 AM on 06/02/2009
It will be interestin­g to hear Obama's speech in Israel. Obviously, the mere fact that we have military recruiting offices is enough to incite anyone to violence. Hopefully he will offer the appropriat­e apology.

I'm not seeing that, I'm seeing alot of condemnati­on over this act however.
11:23 AM on 06/02/2009
See the comment above by "didntvote­forthedude­".

This poster calls this act "Kool".
