Leiberman Katrina and Fort Hood
Leiberman is doing his best to stir up anti Arab sentiment in the wake of the tragic Fort Hood Shooting. The incident where the shooter happened to be a Muslim and much to the deep joy of the Right Wing Nut Jobs and I suspect, Senator Leiberman, he had a really Arab sounding name.
The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs will seek to move forward on an investigation surrounding the mass shooting Thursday at Fort Hood Army base in Texas, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.), the comittee’s chairman, said today.
Lieberman mentioned that the shooter had “turned to Islamist extremism” on Fox News (his spiritual home). Strange how he and his fellow xenophobes see fit to focus on that when they have never zeroed in on the fact that many mass killers profess to be Christian. A well worn argument I know but one that needs constant repetition.
Interesting graf in the WaPo piece:
“Therefore, if that is true, the murder of these 13 people was a terrorist act and, in fact, it was the most destructive terrorist act to be committed on American soil since 9/11.” (Leiberman)
