Did I just hear the President call the Fort Hood shooter a terrorist?

[Kilgore]

What happened to calling it workplace violence?

1. The right sticks with a lie

I don't get it

[SickOfTheOnePct]

2. Yep

About damned time. Calling it "workplace violence" was ludicrous from the start.

9. Way past time to be tiptoeing around

what is really going on

3. 9/11

4. He was morally correct about just about everything he said in that speech.

6. The President always has to consider who he is talking to

and tailor his talk to that audience. Those of us who love him understand this.

8. Tailoring his talk is one thing

Doing an about face on Ft. Hood goes way beyond simply tailoring his talk.

And I'm glad he did - long overdue.

10. Of course it was terrorism.

I think he shot up an office unrelated to his job as a psychiatrist. I doubt he knew anybody who worked there.

[Kilgore]

12. This kind of flip flop drives me nuts

After months of not using the "T" word, just dropping it with a thud is a bit perplexing.

11. He said "terrorism", did it bring the victims back to life? Did it undo the carnage?

No? Weird. You'd think that would be the result with how the terrorismers talk about it.

[Kilgore]

13. Then why use it?

Makes it look like he lost the courage of his convictions.

See my post 12 above.

14. I heard that too.

Caught me off guard.
