Here is an interesting fact the internet has pulled up. On December 28, 2009, President Obama made his first public comments about the attempted bombing on Christmas day – 3 days after the incident. On December 28, 2001, President Bush made his first public comments about Richard Reid’s failed bombing attempt. That was 7 days […]
We saw it after Ft. Hood and now we are seeing it again – a Republican Party that cares nothing about actual terrorism, but rather playing politics with it. A perfect example of this is Mary Matalin, who said on CNN yesterday that Bush “inherited” the 9/11 attacks. Inherited to the point that Bush ignored […]
I am speechless: While they are calling Ft. Hood a terrorist attack, Dana Perino, George Bush’s press secretary, says “we didn’t have a terrorist attack on our country under the Bush term” and Sean Hannity just lets it go. We had the biggest terrorist attack in history on Bush’s watch. How could Perino and Hannity […]
In an absolute display of disrespect to the soldiers who were injured and died at the Ft. Hood massacre a Tea Party supporter uses the tragedy to make a threat: A woman who allegedly threatened the Times Herald of Port Huron, Mich., saying she would take a gun to the newspaper and “do what they […]
Given the Ft. Hood tragedy, a bill authored by Richard Burr (R-NC) is coming into light: Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) says his “Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act” will protect veterans’ gun rights. But the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence calls it a “dangerous” proposal that could allow “over 100,000 mentally incapacitated or incompetent persons” […]
Wow it didn’t even take a week for this to happen: The ranking Republican on the House intelligence committee on Tuesday night accused the White House of withholding information on the Fort Hood attack. Rep. Pete Hoekstra (Mich.) said administration officials delayed briefing members of Congress about the alleged gunman, raising “red flags” about what […]
And they came out already, starting with Hannity, who is claiming that President Obama knew about Maj. Hasan. As Cesca reminds us: After 9/11, everyone — everyone — supported President Bush. But it’s clear that the wingnuts and Republicans will never give our current president the same deference. But what about George Bush – did […]
Not 24 hours after the massacre at Ft. Hood, wingnuts have found a way to turn it into something political. In this instance, Maj. Hasan was an adviser to Obama, brought to you by birther in chief – Jerome Corsi. What a great way to honor the memory of those who perished yesterday – NOT.
Watching Tweety talk about the carnage that happened today at Ft. Hood is seriously raising my blood pressure. In a conversation between him and Cliff Van Zandt I have heard 9/11 brought up a few times and reference the main shooters last name, Hasan, as being a key to what has happened. Of course then […]
