janet Nepalitano needs to add the "left wing extremist" category to their DHS report. There are left wing extremists in our country, and one of their most obvious traits in the conversion to Islam.

[SiberianRat]

What on earth does that even mean?

[Jazzman323]

Not sure if you are serious. Are you aware of the DHS report on right wing extremists that Nepalitano had to pull down from their website?

[notconfindtweenhatnboots]

No way Islamic terrorists are considered "Liberal".... Some people don't know their left from their right.

[Jazzman323]

It is the left that defends Islamic terrorists, not the right.

[Eykis]

Jax, you don't have a clue what you are talking about. The DHS report was done under W's Cabal. There is a left-wing list - left-wingers DO NOT GENERALLY EMPLOY VIOLENCE nor do they INCITE VIOLENCE by HATE SPEECH.

[jacw20]

Tell that to PETA.

[Jazzman323]

Except the guy who shot the Army recruiter.

[didntvote4thedude]

It's Bush's fault. Keep saying that, okay?

[Quaoar]

You seem to assume that DHS stopped caring about non right-wing terrorists after Bush left office. Nothing could be further from the truth.

[Jazzman323]

I think the DHS report was BS, and everyone knew it and tried to explain it away because it was embarrassing.

[didntvote4thedude]

Still waiting for a Janet news conference. Just to let us know that she's on this case and it was just an "isolated" incident.
I hope you can figure out that "kool" is being facetious or are some of you really that ignorant?

[Jazzman323]

The suspect is a recently converted Muslim. There has been an increase in attacks on military recruiting centers. Were is the outrage and denunciation from Obama?

[roncar]

An increase in attacks from leftist organizations. Let's put the blame where it belongs.

[SiberianRat]

How is this an attack from a "leftist organization?"

[kareemachan]

List these increasing attacks or it's bogus. Citation or null content.

[aramos]

Where's Obama's outrage at this racist senseless murder?

[SiberianRat]

Why racist?

[Jazzman323]

The murderer was black and Muslim, the victim was white.

[noudidnt]

Where is your outrage at the senseless murders of Oscar Grant and Sean Bell?????

[Jazzman323]

Don't know who they are.

[gino618]

Perhaps someone can explain why....

The first HP story on this yesterday afternoon was buried - nowhere to be found unless you did a site search of it?

The first time it appeared on the front page was late last night?

There won't be 1/10th as many stories and opinion articles written about this as there were / are to the death of Dr. Tiller?

Will talking heads or celebrities submit articles to HP condemning this? Calling out the killer's religious background? Claim that others of his faith contribute to the atmosphere of hatred? Condemn the talking heads who spew lies and exaggerations from the left side of the aisle and claim they are to blame?

If the answers to these questions are no..... maybe you need to ask why.

[SiberianRat]

That's not true--it was on the 1st page, 3rd story down with a pic as you yesterday morning (your time).

[lj9283]

Why should Right Wing posters have any truth in their posts when the can just vilify the left with their lies

[gino618]

No - it wasn't - I was on this site all day and made several comments about it on the thread which I had to search for ...

It was NOT on the front page at all well into the late afternoon

[NedroidPrime]

"Waaahhh, not everybody shares my opinion!!"

Seriously, you were whining on the story yesterday, and responded to your own whine, with more whining that it wasn't the top story WITHIN 7 MINUTES. You sad, sad tro||...

Lets see, no "left wing" people have EVER advocated for the violence that happened yesterday. Meanwhile the reich wing commentators have been calling for action against the doc for years.

THERE IS NO EQUIVOCATION!!!

[notconfindtweenhatnboots]

In the interest of protecting our troops, it's in the best interest to bury this, rather than create more "copycats" who think this is an effective way of getting attention for their "cause".

[jacw20]

"In the interest of protectioning abortionists, the Tillman case should be buried."

I would think more outrage would be over this kid getting killed in Little Rock then I've seen but I guess other things like the sale of Hummer by GM are more important.

[notconfindtweenhatnboots]

Many so-called "Good Americans" rejoiced in the Tiller tragedy. No one is rejoicing in this- except for our enemies. Focusing more attention on this story will only reinforce our this type of behavior on our soil. Just like focusing attention on Tiller will inevitably make more people try to repeat it (thats why the call for marshalls).

[Roxie74]

There's been a lot of throwing around of the term "anti-government" and "extremist" to lone, wacked-out individuals who have committed horrendous acts. These people are insane, nothing else. The media is shameless unleashing a spin war, possibly working in concert with the Pentagon to rationalize that heinous right-wing extremists report that the DHS put out a couple of months ago. I guarantee you this will result in the pulling of the second amendment. All criminal regimes throughout history have disarmed the people as the pretext to tyrannical rule. We are about to enter a police state by design, strip of all of our Constitutional liberties, mark my words....

[Mike949]

"There's been a lot of throwing around of the term "anti-government" and "extremist" to lone, wacked-out individuals who have committed horrendous acts. These people are insane, nothing else."

Would you apply this same perspective to the individual who murdered Tiller? People seem comfortable in generalizing his act to everyone who is anti-abortion.

[AnnfromCA]

I agree, but these organizations do nothing to discourage mentally unstable people from joining or promoting whatever cause.

[ModernTimes1]

The process of brainwash, radicalization and recruitment has been well establshed in thousands of places of praying around the world.
The Islamicist recruiters are especially interested in people who do not look Middle Eastern.

[burt2009]

Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, who killed one soldier and wounded another at a a Little Rock military recruiting center today, and who faces charges of terrorism as well as first-degree murder, has recently returned from Yemen, where he studied jihad with an Islamic scholar there.

[ModernTimes1]

Ahhh yeah, burt2009. That;'s pretty much what I said.

[notconfindtweenhatnboots]

Interesting thought... that means they will increasingly go after AA's. We must increasingly depend on the AA community to get into the heads of these potential targets before they are taken by the Is/amicist recruiters.

[ModernTimes1]

By AA's you mean angry Arabs?

[burt2009]

A lot of press has been given the Tiller shooter as an “extremist” and condemned by Obama but where is the comdemnation by Obama and the MSM of the muslim shooter as an “extremist” for killing a military recruiter?

[NedroidPrime]

Uhh, cause most people can see the obvious...

Now if only tro||s could evolve to that point...

[ModernTimes1]

A person brainwashed by the "faith of peace" and sent off to commit atrocities. What a giant surprise...NOT.

[ProudlyConservative42]

I'm still waiting for the President to express o.ut.ra.gee" at this incident, like he did for the Tiller k.il.lin.g.

[gino618]

Never happen - his Tiller statement was made to garner points with his base. But if his rhetoric of hope and change and less adversarialness were based in truth, he'd give just as strongly a worded statement about this.

I'm not holding my breath for it, though.

[Kelly Laraia]

Well, since the pro-life groups are being blamed for the murder of Mr. Tiller, should anti-war groups be blamed for the murder of Mr. Long? Have any anti-way groups condemned this murder?

[ProudlyConservative42]

No, they haven't. Too busy politicizing the Tiller k.il.l.ing.

[AnnfromCA]

Yes

[jacw20]

In fairness, as a resident of Little Rock, the local muslim community was quick to condemn their brother's actions.

[smacc1]

I wonder, when/if this is reported in Europe, whether the shooter will be ID'd as a muslim convert. That wouldn't be the pattern.

[StuManChu]

Too bad he didn't have a pro life, nra, or veteran sticker on his bumper. HMS may have caught him then.

[militarymomforobama]

All veterans are not right-wing extremists.

[steamboat]

This killer was NOT a veteran.......Also, he shot TWO people. Victims were William Long (died) and Quinton Ezengwula (stable condition)

Only reported on page 15 of my local liberal paper (Chicago Sun-Times)

[NedroidPrime]

Don't worry ma'am, this person is just an example of a right-wing tro// who is trying to be as offensive as possible.

They do it all the time, as you have likely seen. They act like they are for Obama, and then say some of the most hateful and ignorant things. If you can't tell them from that, there is always the smell...

[NedroidPrime]

HMS?

Pinafore?

Nice try tro//...

[1dogs2]

The FBI must have its hands full trying to keep an eye on all the identified nut jobs loose in this country espousing violence in the name of various religions. Add to that the violence-promoting purely political nut jobs and the task must be overwhelming.

[FRobert]

We in the United States spend more than the rest of the world combined on the military and then we are shocked when we see acts of violence. There might be a connection to acceptance of violent solutions to perceived problems.

[militarymomforobama]

With leaders like President Obama, we eventually won't need to have such a large military. When we stop using the military for such ridiculous purposes i.e. democratizing collectivist cultures, we can have a leaner, department of DEFENSE.

Right now, we are in a situation that has been building for a long time. I appreciate a President who is using diplomatic channels to deal with the rest of the world.

[NedroidPrime]

Very nicely put!

It's funny how the right always complains about "throwing money" at education for people, yet have no problem doing the same thing for weapons....

So much for the "culture of life"...

[JulieSA]

So what explains the Islamist te r r orism we see in European countries?

[militarymomforobama]

Geographical proximity.

[JulieSA]

I guess that's why radical muslims blew up Bali, and ki l led schoolgirls in Thailand.

[JulieSA]

It's a global problem. You shouldn't be so US-centric in your views. The primary victims of the de a th cult have been moderate Muslims around the world, who are considered infidels by the radicals.

[steamboat]

SEVEN shot yesterday in my city, Chicago......Which has the toughest gun-control laws in America....So whats your take on that?

[SiberianRat]

Chicago has a completely inept police force and corrupt mayor/city government. That's a big part of why I left after living there for 22 years.

[militarymomforobama]

Religious extremism is the problem here. As soon as someone shows me that they are controlled by religious ideology, I go the other way.

[gino618]

Controlled by religious ideology.....

Would that include the Pope? Mother Teresa? The Dhali Lama?

[militarymomforobama]

Ok--you called me on it. And I should have said "extremist" religious philosophy. My bad.

The point I was making was that there are people who use religion to soothe their fe@rs that are the direct result of ignorance about anyone who is the slightest bit different.

[SiberianRat]

The Pope is an iffy example--point well made with the other 2 though.
