I heard Hasan screamed “Waka Waka”.

I guess he IS a puppet of AQ.

Blaming the guns for this terrorist’s killings is like blaming the printing presses at the mint for printing too much money as our debt goes out of control.

So this guy’s exploits spanned the terms of both of the parties…who are you all going to blame?

The “communicating with Al-Qaeda” point is also one being debunked. He sent emails to a guy he knew who might have some peripheral connection to Al-Qaeda. WAPO says, “The FBI determined that the e-mails did not warrant an investigation, according to the law enforcement official. Investigators said Hasan’s e-mails were consistent with the topic of his academic research and involved some social chatter and religious discourse.” Of course we all know that those uber-patriotic conservatives would love nothing more than for there to be some sort of terrorist attack that they can blame Obama for. I second the douche-nozzle motion.

The transition team talking point is one that was made and debunked last week. It was made by swiftliar Jerome Corsi, who is also a birther. I think Hasan attended some meetings for an organization that said something about transition but it had nothing to do with Obama.

Oh and the more I think of it, Jason O’Neill is a douche-nozzle. To try to put this guy on Obama’s transition team is one of the most disgusting accusations made on this site. You have learned well from your master.

Good point Mis. He may have just been trying the gangbanger trick of “suicide by cop”

“And the gun culture and all who enable it are to blame.”

Wow! A “gun culture” existing in our own military… Imagine that. It sounds very dangerous.

Terrorist? Perhaps not. Martyr wannabe? Definitely.

“…I’d argue that a terrorist is one engaging in acts of violence as a part of a concerted effort to instill terror…”

Why does it have to be a concerted effort to be classified as terrorism? Eric Rudolph (anti-abortion) was a lone wolf, but you’d have to say he was a terrorist, right? I was only blocks away from Centennial Park in 1996 when that bomb went off, and I sure felt terrorized, especially since I’d been there the night before to see Carlos Santana. And let’s not forget the Unabomber.

Technically a “Terrorist” must seek to instill fear, terror in a person, group or country. The goal is to render them ineffective. Typically it is a weapon of the weak to strike at the strong. While Hassan is a Muslim surrounded by fundamentalist Christians( it’s Texas)his actions had little if any poltical intent, just to say he was a Muslim means nothing. I see him as a deranged, mentally ill man who commited a hienous act, but not terrorism.

“The gun culture is what saved the people at the assembly he was targeting. He could have used a bomb or a car but he was indeed a terrorist who hated the U S and its institutions.”

Not the gun culture; the police presence. Even warm, fuzzy, Sesame-Street like countries have armed police. (and please don’t tell me about all the places that have unarmed forces; even those have armed domestic forces as well).

Jason O – Now you have to read my links that point out that MANY of the initial reports have turned out to be incorrect. EVERY one of your links that was supposed to prove something was based on information from “unnamed sources” early in the situation.

Come back when you have actual statements from real people that support your so-called “facts.”

And saying that Hasan was on the transition team by pointing out that he attended a series of meeting that were laid out in April 2008 (see your link, page 1),before Obama was even the nominee) is about 180 degrees off, since it is likely that he was asked to be involved by the Bush Administration if by any administration at all.

You know, the warning signs signaling that Protack is a loon are evident. Harmless, one might even say… impotent, but still a loon.
