He wanted a holy war. We gave him two. We’ve compromised our values, rolled back civil liberties, and let our politicians generally scare the crap out of us whenever they want new powers. Oh, and we’ve let the bastard live to gloat about it all.
They’re gonna make a checklist. It’s all good now:

Chris Wage wants to make clear that there is very little daylight between xenophobia and racism:
The unfortunate reality for anti-immigration advocates is that they are literally xenophobic, and there’s a not a wide gulf between xenophobia and outright racism — either as a philosophical state or in the [...]
C.S. Burks tells how it felt:

http://www.answeringmuslims...Interview with Robert Spencer at the Rally for RifqaLiterally. She said it. Straight up.
I asked about Palin’s upcoming visit to Ft. Hood. “We had planned on that before the tragedy struck,” she said. She commented on the trail of evidence linking the alleged Ft. Hood shooter, Maj. Nidal Hasan, to militant Islam. “There were such clear, obvious, [...]

It is pouring in fast and furious on Twitter. There's a tweet just about every minute for the past hour. As of this posting, a vast amount of the tweets are simply linking to the news.
Naturally, it has hit the chat boards.
It doesn’t make sense to Nashville Jefferson:
