      "protected species" who was "running around in his little Islamist play suit"

      That pretty much sums up the results of political correctness.

        The people who lie about "death panels" and question Obama's birth are the last people who should say anything at all about political correctness.

          There are those that have said that they have been afraid to come forward for fear of being sued for discrimination. A direct result of political correctness.

            What cowardly species do they belong to? Shouldn't they be investigated? What if they had seen an officer rape a non-com female? Would they be afraid to come forward? Run those cowards out of the service..they have no balls. They are cowards.

            Next stupid Con talking point please.

            Yeah, I didn't think so.

            He was being investigated by the government for over a year. BTW, religious freedom is guaranteed in this country and has NOTHING whatsoever to do with political correctness. I realize that is the current Fox/hate talk radio talking point, but if it's "political correctness" to allow first amendment rights, then I suppose it is.

        As "unprotected species," what kind of "play suits" were Sgt. Joseph Bozicevich, Sgt. John M. Russell, and Staff Sgt. Alberto B. Martinez running around in?

      Fox Snooze allows a man who says this on TV or other forms of media:

      In a 2009 article for The Journal of International Security Affairs titled "Wishful Thinking and Indecisive Wars" Peters' advocates the ruthless use of United States military power, declaring "If you cannot win clean, win dirty." Peters' also raises the controversial possibility of directing the United States military to attack journalists. Peters writes, "Although it seems unthinkable now, future wars may require censorship, news blackouts and, ultimately, military attacks on the partisan media."

      SMH! Fearmongering at is finest!

        I'm sure Glenn Beck will pounce on Colonel Peters' inflammatory claims.

        Oh wait, I just remembered that Glenn Beck is intellectually dishonest and would never attack one of his own. Never mind.

      Why is it if a Muslim goes off the deep end and kills someone, he's called a terrorist therefore all Muslims must be terrorists? Yet if a Christian goes off the deep end and kills people, he's just a crazy person, and there is not a word about the rest of the Christians.

      The other thing that needs to be addressed by the right wing crazies is, if Muslims are terrorist's, what exactly are you going to do, after all there are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world.

        Exactly. And usually, in both cases both scenarios are people gone crazy. Only when a person who worships Islam does something crazy is their religion mentioned, whereas if a Christian does something crazy, normally, their religion is not mentioned at all.

      Why not just say you hate Muslims? Calling someone of a religious belief you don't agree with a "species" is horrible. All regligions have hatreds, biases and horrible people.

      Yes, once again it's the 'broad-brushed' approach from FOX Propaganda. Somebody kills people and they're a muslim, it's automatically terrorism. Somebody kills people and they're christian, they must be mentally deranged. Very good. Very... predictable.

      Know what terrorism even is, Mr. Peters? It's the systematic use of terror, especially as coercion. To coerce someone is to get them to do something against their will. Do you know who used terrorism to coerce people? President Bush and Vice President Cheney, followed gleefully by many talking heads at FOX Propaganda, the network you just made a guest appearance on. Yeah, that's right! They claimed that voting for Democrats would convince al Qaeda that we were soft on defense, and result in dead Americans. They tortured prisoners to try to get phony evidence to support the war in Iraq when the WMD lie fell apart. They claimed we needed to give up our freedom in order to be protected from future terrorist attacks. So, really, the biggest group of terrorists in this country are... Republicans, not muslims. Just something for you to think about.

      Just a reminder: Peters encouraged the Taliban to murder one of our soldiers. He is a terrorist enabler and has no credibility on this issue.

      I ask again, if someone Hispanic goes a a spree like this guy, do we investigate the entire "species", the aholes new catch phrase and dig up the dead soldiers from Arlington until they are checked out.
      I am suprised this species of manhood wasn't fragged.

      Prince, if a Hispanic goes on some sort of tragic murdering spree, they normally blame it on illegal immigrants.

        But not the Catholic faith..just assuming that some Hispanics are Catholic.

        The Cons have no trouble watching non-American hispanics(not illegals) go off to war. Even some of those Americans with Muslim names. They die so these nutz can vilify them.

      Isn't this the second time in as many days that Muslims have referred to as a "species" by Peters? I hope this sick and twisted talking point goes no further. It is bad enough to label Muslims evil, but subhuman? Don't expect him to accept any responsibility when some Christian American "hero" seeks his revenge on Muslim Americans.

      It's so funny to hear one extremist blast another "extremist." The only people in Peters' world who are right or ever could be right are other people that beleive what he believes. I find it amazing that Fox "News" can find so many anrgy radicals and get them to string together a few sentences.

      Now I can understand why Peters is retired. However, what I can't believe that he is criticizing General Casey. I'm not sure what Peters wants Casey to do. Does Peters want Casey to purge the military of all soldiers who happen to be Muslim? Casey expressed a sincere concern (I watched the entire interview on Meet the Press and the clip from Stephano) that people like Peters would try to play up his Islamic ties. That is something that he feared would hurt enlistment of Muslim soldiers, which would ultimately hurt our military's potential in Iraq and Afghanistan.

        I thought we learned a couple years ago that if you criticize a general, Congress passes a resolution saying "You're mean". Oh, wait... IOKIYAR. Duh.

      And, as I've said before, Wingnut bigots like Peters are an ENDANGERED species.

      Plus, I wonder does Rowlf remember that he once wore the same "play suit" he smears the Ft. Hood shooter as "running around in"??

      Apparently, he had been under investigation for over a year prior to this incident.
