Oh now the bullshit is getting deep

[Sebastian Doyle]

Asshole on MSNBC "suggesting" that shooter might have been motivated by some tape released by teenage "Al Qaeda" wannabe Adam Pearlman. :eyes:

Let's see how quick this becomes the official spin.

[spanone]

1. this 'news' pattern is disturbing...'event' then hours of pure speculation with few, if any facts

[itsrobert]

3. The real truth won't come out until an investigation

Which will not end until 2013.

[polichick]

2. They want to blame anything but our INSANE WARS, nt

[spirit of wine]

And yet those stories about 9/11 seemed so implausible

and were sent to the dungeon? Pleeeeease!

[tridim]

4. My hunch is that he was haunted by what he saw in his PTSD patients every day..

and didn't want to see any more kids coming home like that.

Everything is speculation at this point.

[nonconformist]

15. So he decided that being gunned down by their trusted counselor while unarmed would be better?

True, it's all spec at this point, but I don't buy that it was a "mercy" killing spree.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

5. Speculation City - without any facts

with statements like "it's possible", "could it be?", "he may have". I think they could at least wait for the facts surrounding this guy before embarking on theories about a personal Jihad.

6. In days it will be the fault of

President Obama.....and, of course, ACORN.

[Mari333]

7. Ill give CNN credit..they are talking to professionals about PTSD

and the constant redeployment that is causing soldiers to lose their minds.

[YOY]

8. Funny how this is happening just before the Patriot act is coming back for renewal.

Just sayin'...

[Sebastian Doyle]

9. Considering this all took place on a military base

I don't know how the fuck they could use it to justify extending fascist restrictions against the civilian population.

[YOY]

11. The general population won't even take that into consideration in the same way you did.

If anything they will think "Of it happened there with all those soldiers and security...why not at the local Piggly Wiggly!"

[The_Casual_Observer]

10. 3 hours ago it was reported as a coordinated attack by a group of muslims wearing

army uniforms.

[Odin2005]

12. This shit is disgusting.

The MSM really sucks.

[Sinti]

13. "Al Qaeda wannabe Adam Pearlman"

There is an AlQ wannabe named Adam "Pearlman????" It's a bad joke, yes? Maybe something inspired by Sacha Cohen? Someone laughs heartily over this, I'm sure.

The 24 hour news is the death of honesty and journalism - they've just got to get he blood out on the wire any way they can, even if they have to make it up.

14. War at any cost.. That is Our Goal... your children die.. We Profit...

16. He was also "happy" over a soldier getting killed at a recruitment center in Arkansas

URL: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/6511591/Fort-Hood-shooting-Nidal-Malik-Hasan-said-Muslims-should-rise-up.html

"He was making outlandish comments condemning our foreign policy and claimed Muslims had the right to rise up and attack Americans," Col Lee told Fox News.

"He said Muslims should stand up and fight the aggressor and that we should not be in the war in the first place." He said that Maj Hasan said he was "happy" when a US soldier was killed in an attack on a military recruitment centre in Arkansas in June. An American convert to Islam was accused of the shootings.

Col Lee said that other officers had told him that Maj Hasan had said "maybe people should strap bombs on themselves and go to Time Square" in New York.

He said he was aware that the major had been subject to "name calling" during heated arguments with other officers.

I don't care if he was being picked on or PTSD he should have not been allowed to be a soldier. Retired Col Terry Lee said he reported this guy to superiors but it fell on deaf ears.

17. Telegraph quoting FAUX Noize?

Can I get those quotes from a news source? :shrug:

[951-Riverside]

18. They're quoting the Retired Col. who called fox news. n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

19. Retired Col? So he wasn't there either?

That makes it hearsay.

BTW.... just breaking on the news.... Hasan isn't even fucking dead! Maybe he'll speak for himself?

Unless somebody takes him out first.

[951-Riverside]

21. Of course he wasnt there if you actually read the story he was talking about past incidents n/t

[Sebastian Doyle]

22. My point is, you have third degree hearsay being reported as "news" here

By these right wing turd Murdoch companies. And, as I just said, they don't even have the central fucking fact of the story right, as the shooter, reported dead for the last 6 hours, is very much alive.

[951-Riverside]

24. The Army falsely reported him dead and every station included MSNBC thought he was dead

http://www.wtnh.com/dpp/news/military_news/news_ap_attacks_at_fort_hood_connecticut_units200911051555

Lt. Gen Bob Cone said at a news conference that one shooter has been killed and two suspects were apprehended on Thursday. He says they are all U.S. soldiers.

[deaniac21]

20. MSNBC is nothing but a far right mouthpiece!

[Sebastian Doyle]

23. I wouldn't say that.

But the guy who suggested that particular talking point to Tweety was definitely shilling for some shithead neocon group.

[tomm2thumbs]

25. Balloon Boy is somehow involved - believe it
