Conservative Says Hasan Acted On Orders Of Muslim Brotherhood: What Do We Know?

[RamboLiberal]

One conservative writer is already declaring -- without citing any evidence -- that Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the alleged shooter who killed 13 at Fort Hood yesterday, was acting at the behest of the Muslim Brotherhood. So it's a good time to lay out what we do and don't know about the Fort Hood shooting case and the Army psychiatrist at the center of it.

In an interview with Frontpagemag, author Dave Gaubatz blames the Fort Hood killings on, among other Muslim groups, the Council on American-Islamic Relations. He says that Hasan was carrying out "the orders of the Muslim Brotherhood." And he suggests that Hasan was sent out by radical Muslim leaders:

Malik Nabal Hasan is a terrorist supporting the ideology of Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, and yes, CAIR. In Palestine, the leaders send out the young and vulnerable to carry out the murders in the name of Islam. The same is happening in America.In fact, CAIR released a statement denouncing the shootings almost immediately after reports of the incident:

Gaubatz is the author of a book we've been following at TPMmuckraker -- which has been endorsed by four House Republicans -- called Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that's Conspiring to Islamize America. He has labeled President Obama "Muslim" and openly questioned the loyalty of the two Muslim members of Congress.

1. Dave Gaubatz - the man who claims to have found Saddam's stash of WMD.

According to TPM:

He has claimed that he personally found sites with Iraqi weapons of mass destruction when he was an agent with the Air Force's Office of Special Investigations in 2003. But the Syrians beat us to the punch on excavating the sites, Gaubatz claims, and the U.S. government suppressed the information to avoid the "explosive revelation of their own lethal incompetence."

2. I am sure others will pick this up before long!

It is sad how easily conservative radio listeners will then be swayed.

3. Gee it is a wonder

he didn't say Obama ordered it to clash with Bachmann's anti-American demonstration. They are good at spewing hate like that.

4. Such charges require proof, or

to be clearly labelled as speculation.

So somebody will read this, repeat it, and the next thing you know some RWers will be running around quoting this as gospel.

Eh. Why should they be any different?

6. I think that is the intention.

To spin this event before the facts come out.

5. We know he's an ass.

"The same is happening in America." NO, IT BLOODY WELL ISN'T. That moran isn't afraid to get on a bus. He is absolutely sure he can finish a meal in a restaurant without being blown to bits. And if a child walks up to him, he doesn't wonder if he'll explode.

As my sister said to me when the media was screaming about terrorist cells all over the country after 9/11: "Uh huh. Where are the car bombs?" Only on TV.

7. Some will say that cannot be asserted at this point; others will say the connection is plain...

What I see as equally likely is found in the space up the middle where armed forces depts meet FBI agents, and others, sifting through *all* of his info. It presents a tremendous opportunity for interpretation and even insertion of data that would make it thus and so bang an already pounding war drum that much harder

Whether God is Great, or whether he is the innocent by-standing personification of plausible deniability - there are too many substitutes for the truth already

8. We don't much of anything about Maj. Hasan yet...

...so we should chalk up anything a conservative pundit says about the Ft. Hood murders as being the xenophobic, self-serving garbage it is, and wait until either Hasan talks or the official investigation finds something that they're willing to share with us.
