It's not for nothing that General George Casey warned against an anti-Muslim backlash in the wake of the Fort Hood massacre. But a whole slew of childlike nimrods, spurred to action by Casey vowing that it would be "a shame if our diversity became a casualty," have taken the stage to decry such concerns as "political correctness." Michelle Malkin complained that this was worshiping "the false god of diversity." Pat Robertson demanded that Muslims be treated as "members of some fascist group." So much good sense, being made! And so, naturally, the backlash Casey warned of has now expanded to include Greek Orthodox priests.

Via Think Progress:

Alexios Marakis, a Greek Orthodox priest visiting the U.S., got lost in Tampa and tried to stop and ask directions from Marine reservist Jasen D. Bruce. But instead of offering help, "Bruce struck the priest on the head with a tire iron." The reservist believed Marakis, who spoke limited English, was an Arab terrorist. Bruce chased the priest for three blocks, "and even called 911 to say that an Arabic man tried to rob him."
And that's the wages of hysteria, right there.

Whoops, guess we can't prevent a lunatic from buying a cop killer from
GUNS GALORE in Kileen, TX, even if we know he's going off the deep

In other fun gun news...

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. — The family of an 8-year-old boy who fatally shot
himself at a gun show in western Massachusetts say the Uzi submachine
gun jammed twice before he lost control of the weapon and fired into
his head.

The family of Christopher Bizilj (bah-SEEL') of Ashford, Conn., says
in a civil lawsuit filed Friday that a 15-year-old instructor who
cleared the gun and handed it back to the victim failed to provide
proper guidance.

The lawsuit names the owners of a gun club where the fair was held,
promoters of the event and those who supplied the weapon and
ammunition. None of those named in the lawsuit could be reached for
comment after business hours Monday.

Bizilj shot himself at the Westfield Sportsman's Club in October 2008.

The boy's family claims the gun was defective and unreasonably
dangerous, and they blame the failure to properly service it.

It doesn't always work that way. I nearly always carry. I value your
life. I will protect you, should you be attacked..... Give your
values, who else could offer that assistance?

So, I if Obama'a appointee Napolitano knew about this guy, why did she
not stop him. Was she too busy thinking returning vets are
terrorists. This is clearly a case of dangerous incompetence on the
part of the Obama admin. Everybody was trying to cover their asses
pandering to Obama's ideas that there is no such thing as terrorism.
Ignoring reality does not make it go away in spite of the liberal Kool
aid.


This was investigated last year, apparently. Thus it would have been Bush's
appointee who did nothing. The whole thing is under investigation, so it's
foolish to jump to conclusions. The Army is claiming it never received the
information and one person made the decision not to forward the intel to
them.


NDM, careful with the Katie Ohara.

She oftentimes acts like an old loonytune wingnut.
