The seven stages of freeper-grief.

[howard112211]

1. Denial ("American christians would never do such a thing").
2. Playing the victim ("This all an attempt by the liberal media to smear honest christians. The Hitler liberals are coming for us").
3. Blaming the victim ("Ok, maybe it did happen. But only because the liberal establishment uses stalinist tactics against honest
christians")
4. Trying to pin it on muslims ("Ok, maybe these guys are terrorists. But didn't they talk to a muslim priest at a gas station 17 years ago? Probably they are covert muslims").
5. Talk about other bad stuff muslims did ("Did you hear about that attack in Russia? Why isn't the liberal media spending more time on that instead of smearing christians").
6. Talk some more about bad stuff muslims did and extend to talking about communism and conspiracy theories in general ("Why
isn't the liberal media spending more time on Obamao's muslim kenyan communist fake birth certificate?").
7. Stop all talks about the initial event and return to the usual fabricated non-issues a.k.a sweep under the rug ("If we are not careful we will soon have mandated gay marriages forced upon us by aborted fetuses that are armed with our own guns that were taken away from us").


If necessary, repeat steps 1 through 7 several times.

4. You missed "Hair on Fire" completely.

And I guess "Screaming incoherently, pounding the floor, and becoming even more hysterical when asked to listen to reason" was a bit wordy, but it fits with nearly all the above.
