Fox Attacks Obama Administration For Suggesting That
Both Tucson And Germany Shootings May Constitute Terrorism

'Sarah Palin and other Fox News personalities attacked State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley for saying that the Obama administration had not yet determined if the Germany shooting was a terrorist attack and for speculating that the Tuscon shooting may constitute terrorism as well. Palin attacked Crowley for "essentially equat a crazed maniac to a terrorist" who yelled "Allahu Akbar."'

1. Fox should never be taken with anything but a grain of salt.
They don't count, their 15 minutes was up in 2000.

2. That's being charitable.
If we were to add up the grains of salt we have needed to listen to Fox, it would fill the Grand Canyon.

3. Terrorist = Muslim = Brown People
It's a simple belief system.

4. You are so right.
It does give me a little hope to know that some may be considering the Tucson shooter a terrorist - because that is what he is. The Palins of the world don't seem to know what terrorist actually means.

7. That's what hit me. I'm sure Palin gets that attitude from reading "all the newspapers"
Or maybe NewsMax.

5. Duh! The rules
Jared Loughner is white. So he can't be a terrorist. Unless he's an eco-terrorist, but that's different. Just because he allegedly shot up a parking lot full of people is no reason to brand poor, misunderstood Mr. Loughner a terrorist. Due process and all that, doncha know?

11. well if Obama declared him not a terrorist
Obama would be attack for not considering him a terrorist. There is not right answer accept Obama is wrong, because it's fox tv and they know Obama is wrong. They just need to think up the reason.
