CNN Calls Fort Hood Killer Hasan a "Conservative"
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, November 13, 2009, 10:14 PM
Now that the whole world knows that Fort Hood killer Nidal Hasan is an Islamist terrorist and nobody’s buying that he’s a victim, the state-run media’s moved on to a new tactic and are calling this Islamic radical a “conservative.”
Rush Limbaugh reported on this today:
RUSH: The media is twisting itself into pretzels — pretzels! — doing everything they can to deny the obvious reality of Fort Hood. Last night, CNN, Anderson Cooper 360, Special Investigations Correspondent Drew Griffin reported this about the Fort Hood gunman Nidal Malik Hasan.
GRIFFIN: Hasan made NO attempt to hide his religion or his conservative Muslim ideology, which is exactly why some experts are convinced Nidal Hasan is NOT a terrorist.
RUSH: Outrageous on two counts! There is nothing “conservative” about Islamofascism. These people in the media continue to refer to anything they think is evil as “conservative.”
That’s pretty sick stuff by CNN but not surprising.
It’s right up their with their conservative teabagger jokes.
By the way Hasan was known to frequent strip clubs, was against the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and said that Muslims should stand up and fight against the aggressor America.
This hardly sounds like your typical American conservative.

Is it just me or do the majority of the jihadists spend their free time watching porn and going into whore houses? All of which is frowned upon by Islam.
As for the conservative ‘label’….I wonder what took CNN a week…heck I wonder why MSNBC didn’t use that the day of the shootings.

Expecting CNN, or any of the MSM, to be objective, honest or accurate in their treatment of conservatives is asking an awful lot!

So does that mean bin laden isn’t a terrorist because he doesn’t hide his religion or his conservative Muslim ideology???? I am certain liberals are brain damaged.

Freddy commented:
Do not worry about cnn. Rush told many times more people about their reporting today than they reached while doing it.
All a matter of scale there!
Meanwhile, there is a growing desperation by the liberal media to move their ‘slam every time in every way’ attacks from republicans to conservatives.
If Hoffman does come back to win NY-23, the liberal media will all be sounding like Olberman within 2 days.
W. Keller commented:
If memory serves it was Anderson Cooper who first used “teabagger” in one of his pieces. Now I find out he’s gay. I am wondering if he is getting this phrase from a personal (and obviously intimate) act with a lover? I’d ask the same about Barney Franks but the visual image of Barney hanging out over someone is a bit hard to stomach.
Which finally brings us to the President himself and his use of the phrase. Is there a side to our new president that we are unaquainted with??

Iowahawk does a superb job of reporting what the LSM was really reporting between the lines.

The libs are scared that somebody will notice that Obama’s pu$$y policies are making us LESS safe. Peace through weakness and apology? Nope. The world doesn’t work that way.
jonyjoe101 commented:
I seriously doubt Hasan voted for McCain (a decorated warmonger) or Palin (a woman). A fellow Muslim will vote for another muslim every time, that’s a proven fact.
Anderson Cooper did coined the “teabagger” phrase first, now all the lefties use it as a sign of disgust to those that disagree with them.
Pastor Manning has already proven that the Long legged macdaddy goes both ways.

someguy commented:
I’m not a usual defender of CNN and I consider myself a “right-wing conservative”, but looking at the quote, I don’t think they meant “conservative” in the political sense that we would normally use. I’ve seen the word used when describing Muslims before and it’s context is meant to imply a very strict, observant Muslim. Judge what you will about how that applies to Hasan, but I think that’s the angle they meant here with the term “conservative Muslim ideology”.
Eric commented:
Hmm, He’s a victim…he’s a conservative…Conservatives are victims of radical fascist propaganda. Sounds about right actually.
Steele commented:
Fine, the don’t want to call him a terrorist, no biggie. Doesn’t change the simple fact that he was a devout Muslim, who made a free will choice to not be deployed possibly killing radical terroristic Muslims, but instead, cowardly killing his own fellow soldiers on base in the United States.
How can you call him a “conservative” Muslim, when he wore the clothing, talked the talk, gave speeches about beheading infadels, had prayer rugs in his home, attended Muslim mosques, and yelled “Allah Akbar” when he started shooting….. conservative? If he’s a conservative Muslim, I’d had to see what their definition of a radical Muslim is……. Meanwhile, those who choose to stand up for the US Constitution, show respect to this nation’s flag, and speak out against socialism, are called terrorists.
Funny ole nation, ain’t it?

‘Is it just me or do the majority of the jihadists spend their free time watching porn and going into whore houses? All of which is frowned upon by Islam.’
Stephen- if I recall rightly (as it is difficult to recall leftly), the jihadists who carried out 9-11 were encouraged to do such things, to ‘fit in’ with the society they came to destroy.
Alexander Münch commented:
Half truth is worse than a lie !
The traitor Hasan is not just an a “Conservative”.
He is an “Conservative Zionist traitor”!…
Aitch748 commented:
This sounds like an attempt to whittle away at the people who can be called “terrorists.” Maybe our would-be overlords in the media want to reduce the word to nothing, to make the very word “terrorist” as applicable to the real world as “superhero” — that is, you can’t really point to anyone in the real world and identify him as a “superhero” in real life.
mike191 commented:
Mr. Cooper is not rational.The problem of a mass murder can not be explained away by applying the term,CONSERVATIVE,to any person and/ or group.Moreover, I would suggest that Mr. Cooper read Edmund Burke for an application of the word,CONSERVATIVE.
Cynic commented:
There are very few real journalists anymore. We call those who spout their opinions all day “Jinos”. These are journalists in name only. The basics of journalism are the where, what, when and how. I couldn’t care less about their opinion. Tell me the facts and I will make up my own mind.
William commented:
Really, strip club patronage doesn’t sound conservative? Diaper Dave Vitter would likely beg to differ, as would the coke-whore strippers in Minneapolis.
But, whatever.
The conservative media never fails, it can only be failed.
aprilnovember811 commented:
Do these people have a death wish? Why do they continue to side with terrorists? These people are so twisted, I’m at a loss for words anymore. That is the first time, I’ve ever heard of a radical jihadist described as conservative.
bill-tb commented:
CNN Still thinks it was Abe Lincoln, and not the Democrats who formed up the KKK.
The KKK was the Democrats terror and intimidation wing for a hundred years. Now that is evil.
Lynn commented:
“It happened on Obama’s watch”. Keep saying it over and over. Calling Hasan a conservative is the distraction. The first terrorist attack on American soil since 911 happened during Obama’s watch.
Joanne commented:
Obama dropped the ball, and America experienced a major terrorist attack on American soil. Biden said Obama would be tested, and sure enough he was tested, and of course, failed miserably. Instead of admitting his failure to keep the American people safe, Obama is trying to deflect blame anywhere else but onto him. Hasan’s terrorist attack is just the tip of the iceberg of terrorism being planned to be executed on American soil. So is Obama just going to continue to deflect blame forever?
Joanne commented:
Lynn – I hadn’t read your comment yet, and you are exactly right. People should be stating that over and over again.
Joanne commented:

Believe me, these Muslims do not just frequent strip clubs to fit in – these are the same people who force women to cover themselves from head to toe or else they believe they are justified in raping them. Hasan wasn’t trying to fit in – he is just a pervert.
Joanne commented:
someguy – there is no such thing as Conservative Muslim ideology. There is no doubt that CNN used the word ‘conservative’ to cause people to link a ‘terrorist’ to the right-wing extremism they continue to promote as the enemies of America.

of course they do, they’re racist Democrats..
they also preach the US is solely responsible for slavery,

You might check out Larry Sinclair’s blog for the definitive word on that.
There seems to be a “history” between Sinclair and obama.

So, you’re saying that hasan is a “secret Jew”?
I suppose that someone could make a more idiotic, asinine statement — but I really don’t know what it would be.
