I'm simply stating what the DC Chief said
DC Chief is taking the official line. The press is reporting based on leaks. But I would think a large news organization like the AP or NBC is going to have multiple confirmation before passing on the leaked information.

So if I present something that doesn't tout the same line as the NYT, CNN, or the others I am to be seen as a right wing extremist.

The DHS painted with to broad a brush. The apology was appropriate.
This shooter was, indeed, a veteran.

And Janet Napolitano had to FREAKING APOLOGIZE for saying that the greatest threat to our national security is right wing extremists ... Scott Roeder, the whacky muslim convert in Arkansas and now this neo-nazi freak???? SHE HAD TO APOLOGIZE????
The guy in Arkansas who murdered that U.S soldier is a Black Muslim. Since when are Black Muslims part of the demographic of rightwing Americans who are overwhelmingly White and Christian. I doubt very much that the Nation Of Islam believe they have alot in common with The Saddleback Church when it comes to political ideology.

Yep, 2 shootings in a month. Only a couple thousand or so more to go and they will be around the number killed on 9/11.

Black Muslims aren't generally part of the demographic.

However religious extremists who embrace conservative theology and who use that theology to defend their violent actions also don't fall into the left-wing demographic.

Please stay on topic... "Museum Shooter's Background..." - the topic is NOT "black muslims".
Thank you.

Unlike hussein obama that dropped all charges against the New Black Panthers that even the left wing has labeled a hate group?

I doubt very much that Black Muslims agree with anything that Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, or Michael Savage have to say epecially since those guys are all very pro-Israel and very pro-U.S military. So no they are not part of the conservative movement.
