77 innocent people are dead, most of them teenagers. Several hundreds survived, but have been through events that are hard to comprehend. If I was a Christian I would spend my time praying.

Surely you're aware he called himself an atheist, right?

I read it.

I see you don't have a link to a NYT headline referring to the gunman as a "Christian".

Not even to bring up Glen Beck, who just seemed outraged that Norwegian youths shot were allowed to meet and discuss politics at a summer camp in the first place.

And yes I know the inevitable response--the Fort Hood shooter wasn't called Muslim enough times by the media. But it's just interesing how many pundits(and wannabe pundits) are just focusing their anger on the nature of the media coverage or even the victims(or even Muslims) rather than the fact that this sick lunatic committed an act of mass murder against innocent people.
It sounds to me like you failed to read the link. Maybe you should in order to know what the story was according to the author. Many more are like you and trying to argue against her without knowing what she said.

Some people read links and then attack the messenger but it seems that some really are stuck on the practices taught by the old teacher of community organizers.

I would have thought you would like those two stories and use them for your own good. Keep up the attack of the messenger as I told you to do in the OP.

How much of that link did you read? I'll bet old Saul would really be proud of you method of attacking the messenger without knowing word one of the message. Whoops, I forgot I did quote a bit of the message in the OP.

I knew most of those who are showing their lack of knowledge about the article would use the old Alinsky method of attacking the messenger without even knowing the message would let fly on this one. Of course, they haven't seen the article and have no idea what it is about other than the little bit I posted from it.

So you have to analyze everything you read? That tells me more than anything you have said lately.
