Obama's Homeland Security: Blame Guns for Fort Hood, Not Islamic Extremism

November 19, 2009
Obama's Homeland Security: Blame Guns for Fort Hood, Not Islamic Extremism - 8

Jim Kouri in a Nov. 11 column in Mens News Daily examines how anti-Second Amendment Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's comments following the murder of 13 people at Fort Hood by an American-born Muslim, serving as U.S. Army psychiatrist, has inspired a great deal of angst from wide range of sources -- and spurred calls for her to step down.

Kouri notes that one of those groups is a non-profit organization devoted to national security -- MoveAmericaForward.org. "Napolitano noticeably demonstrates that she is incapable of protecting America from the threat of Islamic terrorism and illegal aliens, therefore she must be fired immediately if our country is going to be safe in the coming years," according to officials at MoveForwardAmerica.org, an organization that supports the U.S. military as well as law enforcement officials.

"MoveForwardAmerica.org notes Napolitano’s statements and actions are examples of her incompetence to serve as the top person at Homeland Security when she wrongly claimed that the 9/11 terrorists came through Canada to launch the attack, even though not one of the radical Muslims traveled through our northern border," Kouri writes.

Meanwhile, he adds, Congresswoman Mary Fallin (R-OK) said in a statement that Napolitano is "out of touch with mainstream America" if she believes that returning war veterans and people who believe in the Second Amendment pose a terrorism threat to the nation.

"Like most Oklahomans I was amazed at her statements and actions," Fallin said. "First she approved a report that implied members of the armed forces returning from combat would follow in the footsteps of Timothy McVeigh. Then she insulted our friends in Canada by falsely claiming the 9/11 terrorists came from there. Is this really a person that should be speaking on behalf of our nation?"

The linked article talks about quotes and comments by the Homeland Security Secretary, but I didn't see any quotes other than the, “This was an individual who does not, obviously, represent the Muslim faith.” Did I miss something? What quotes are the authors basing their conclusions on?

What did this article really say other than just paraphrasing another article? I didn't see the part where someone was quoted as saying "Blame guns for Fort Hood, not islamic extremism?" like the title claims. Isn't that a bit of a stretch? What was the point of this article? Would this qualify as Journalistic Extremism?

Let's see. Which member of the Kenyan's administration is the stupidest? Biden, Napolitano, Gibbs, or Geithner? Write-ins are accepted. Delusional thinkers, all.

We should all be calling for the dismissal or resignation of Napolitano.
That is distasteful, uncalled for, biased and disrespectful to Service members and all law abiding citizens

These people who say returning war veterans and those who believe in the 2nd Amendment pose a terrorism threat to the nation; shouldn't the people who say that be regarded as posing a terrorism threat to the U.S.A.? They are the ones who pose a terrorist threat, they are against the 2nd Amendment and war veterans, the war veterans who protect their sorry behinds so they can bad mouth the U.S.A. and the U.S. Constitution.
