The shootings at Ft. Hood were called "terrorist shootings" but I have yet to see the word terrorist
act of Loughner's invoked as such.

2. Because Loughner is white
The Fort Hood shooter is not.

4. Ya think?
White and male and American by birth, therefore he can be called a lone wolf, mentally ill, or anything but a terrorist.

5. "Terrorist" when it helps the RW politically, "shooter" or "gunman"
or "disgruntled fed-up citizen" when it doesn't.

6. It's part of the MSM script: Never call a white guy a terrorist.

8. Ft. Hood was an attack on the military, that's why. They are SPECIAL.
We little people don't warrant such consideration.
