Beck fearmongers: "If you don't call [Hasan] a terrorist, it clears a path for ... an extremist terrorist plan"
He adds: "If we stay silent long enough, maybe they could come to your house and shoot your children in the head"

From the November 11 edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck:

Plus, I think with the fact that he was extremely religious combined with his diatribes about infadels and his rules about God and Muslims fighting in the army and his obvious opposition with going abroad based on some moral and religious dilemma it is fair to say this has all the makings of some sort of religious motivation. Im not saying that was the only reason for it but I think it is just ignorant to brush all this off as not contributing to the murders. He was also clearly mentally ill as well but if the act had any basis in religious ideology, it is likely to be considered a terrorist act. I dont want to say that is my ultimate conclusion but it is looking more and more like religion did play a role in all of this at some level.
As for Beck, somehow I don't think people will stop killing others in an attempt to promote, just because we call them terrorists. Hands down, one of the most illogical and idiotic premises that Beck has come up with.
And now FoxNews have "smeared" ALL Muslims so soon after the Ft. Hood Shooting without ANY facts what-so-ever ALL in the name of politics. Just horrific, horrific, horrific with what FoxNews do in the name of American Politics. So "sad" indeed.
Do you feel validated? Like all your fearmongering was justified?
I don't... all that I know is that the worst domestic tragedies since 9/11 have all come from Americans. Virginia Tech, Holocaust Museum, Pittsburgh Gym Shooting... et al
Why must we define him as a terroist? If we do, then is it a failure of our Armed Forces and Homeland Security? Why is the Dr. Tiller murderer a terrorist or the crazy guy at the Holocaust Museum? Would things be better if we called them terrorist?
Is there something I'm missing? How does name calling make us a safer nation? If I call him a terrorist, I don't feel safer or less safe... it's just a name
Like Bozo is a name
Beck was speaking out against political correctness, and was simply saying that in his opinion, people like McVeigh and Hasan are not "troubled" or some other PC term, but are terrorists.
If you disagree, fine, but Beck was not fear mongering.
Where is the evidence showing that this lunatic plotted to kill these soldiers for political reasons? How far in advance did he plan the attack?
You can show that he used terror, but not that he used it for political reasons.
You still need evidence this bastard was a terrorist? How about screaming "Allah Akbar" when he shot up the place. Last time I knew only certain people said that before killing someone. How about Hasan's comments praising the other terrorist who killed the young recruiter in Little Rock? How about his attempts to contact Al Qaeda? Although Chris Matthews doesn't see a problem with this, level headed people do. This scum need to be tried for teason and if convicted punished accordingly.
But according to the Left, this man was just stressed & confused & "snapped". The REAL terrorists are those people who show up to tell their congressman how they feel. The are the people how belived in Jesus & want to proudly proclaim it. They are the people who disagree with this current government & the direction it's heading. Yeah, they are the one's to watch.
Just because Pres BO says "not to rush to judgement" (don't mention the Cambridge incident to him) and Rachel Maddow purposely mispronounces his name evey night doesn't diminish the facts here.
Why are some many people refusing to see this for what it is? Who are we afraid of offending? Face it- if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck- yes, it is s duck!
The FBI and the CIA join the progressives in their opinion of the murderer. You want to call them out too?
We recently shot and arrested a domestic terrorist in Seattle. That is what the authorites are calling Mr. Monfort. Somehow his story just isn't getting the media airplay of Hasan's. And this guy had some bombs that he hadn't gotten arround to setting off. Thanks to ordinary police doing their jobs, and who cares how he greets his god.
Gee, wonder why that would be? Could it be the answer to the...White House? No one there is calling it that but the soldiers who lost a loved one sure are!
Did I miss something?
If that's not fear mongering I don't know what is.
Stay silent and someone will shoot your children in the head!
that is what the man said right?
He is equating calling Hassan a terrorist or we are all going to die.
Sometimes a smack in the face is what is needed to wake people up, and "your children will get shot" is a verbal smack in the face.
I'm less offended by his choice of words, and MORE concerned with us IGNORING the truth in favor of being PC.
I'm just a regular guy. That means I'm NOT that PC, so I don't mind calling someone who murdered his own soldiers for political reasons a terrorist.
Sorry, but I'd rather opt out.
I think partisan hacks such as yourself are the real problem, and you keep decent people like myself away from politics.
By the way, your politics are easy to label, stand up for being a repug.
when did, not calling a mass murderer a terrorist become a matter of our national security? When did our children's lives become in danger over what we label someone?
that is my point... I'm not ignoring the truth.. if the man was a terrorist, then I'll call him a terrorist... I don't know that he was.
Terrorism is a tactic, but I get the sinking suspicion that we are trying to redefine it to people who are Muslims and are murderers.
Let's be objective here. It doesn't take a "racist fear mongerer" to think that calling a spade a spade is the right thing to do, as opposed to sugar coating things in the name of political correctness.
Now I'll probably be called racist for the "spade a spade" idiom.
Btw, next time try looking beyond FoxNews' talking points, and you will see the 'wrong-doings' their hiding, LOL.
A guy commits a massacre, and people are more concerned about what we call him?! Our society is finished.
What we call people matters. In this case, the matter is a demonisation of a major religion and the population that belongs to it.
Our society is finished with fear-mongers like yourself. Do what repug cowards do best, go hide and let brave Americans alone.
There is no depth to which this subhuman, Beck, will not sink to build his cause up and to knock down those he disagrees with.
