      A Major is just about the rank that Generals have as their aides, the guys who carry the briefcase and move the furniture. Major Hasan wouldn't have been doing much "advising" even if it were true.

      The right is obsessed with Islam. They're so fixated on this man's religion, and the desire to blame liberals for this tragic story.

        Major Muslim Hasan ? The only name scarier than that would be Major Muslim Hussein Hasan.

        Of course. We have to have the whole battle of Armageddon so that the Prince of Peace can return. Or something.

        It's the religious christian right. This is all based around that. Remember it is like a virus and want to consume. They hate anybody against them and their movement. Believe it or not. That's the NWO people be spreading around throwing it on the left. PROJECTION never quits.

      Of course he has connections to Obama. How can you not see it? He also helped Hitler back in the 30s, was right beside Stalin during the purges, and he was the mastermind behind Mao's Cultural Revolution.

      On a slightly more serious note, Crazy Pammy's performance is neither unprecedented nor unexpected.

      But as Glenn Greenwald points out, the corporate MSM has been irresponsible once again.

      And that's a problem.

      What I find funny (strange not humorous) is how fast this spreads. It wasn't hours after the crime and "news" reports were circulating like this one. How do you go from "horrible crime committed" to "Obama connection" in the same day?
