Glenn Beck - When Is an Extremist Not an Extremist?



Glenn Beck on the Double Standard of the Extremism Label

Glenn Beck - Current Events & Politics - When Is an Extremist Not an Extremist?

I've been down for a couple of days, so I may have missed this, but, has anybody over at the White House labeled Nidal Malik Hasan — the terrorist who killed 13 and wounded 30 more at Fort Hood — an extremist?


I've heard him referred to as a "shooter" and a "gunman." He's been called "troubled" and "harassed." We know he didn't want to be deployed and his cousin called him a "good American." But extremist?

No, we can't say that; we wouldn't want offend anyone.

Are we that politically correct? I guess so. But there is no hesitation by Barack Obama's political arm, Organizing for America, to send out an e-mail calling tea party goers extremists:

"Across the country, members of Congress who support reform are being shouted down, physically assaulted, hung in effigy, and receiving death threats. We can't let extremists hijack this debate, or confuse Congress about where the people stand."

So, that's extremism, but killing 13 people isn't?

Obama says don't jump to conclusions on shooting




WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama said Friday the entire nation is grieving for those slain at Fort Hood, and he urged people not to jump to conclusions while law enforcement officers investigate the shootings.

"We don't know all the answers yet. And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts," Obama said in a Rose Garden statement otherwise devoted to the economy.

That's right, folks. The same guy, who just a short time ago, jumped right out there without any facts and accused Law Enforcement of "acting stupidly" and racial profiling. This same man now educates us all, and "cautions" us, that we should not jump to conclusions about the Ft. Hood incident.
