In case one went to sleep last night without perusing through the atmosphere, you would have missed the developing story out of Seattle, Washington. Surely, the MSM would not keep from the American public that which would be of grave concern, surely not….
To put it as simply as possible, there has been a terrorist attack on American soil.
Six women were shot - one fatally - this afternoon at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle by a man who told a witness he was upset about “what was going on in Israel.”
Police spokesman Rich Pruitt said there was one shooter, who was apprehended without incident outside the Jewish Federation building at the corner of Third Avenue and Virginia Street.
“We believe it’s a lone individual acting out his antagonism,” said David Gomez, who heads the FBI’s counterterrorism efforts in Seattle.
Authorities did not release many details, but the FBI said the alleged shooter was between 30 and 40 and agents were investigating the incident as a hate crime. When asked at a news conference if that meant the alleged shooter was Muslim, Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske said: “You could infer that.”
…
The gunman, armed with what police said was a large caliber, semi-automatic handgun, forced his way through the security door at the federation after an employee had punched in her security code, Marla Meislin-Dietrich, a database coordinator for the center, told The Associated Press. “He said ‘I am a Muslim American, angry at Israel,’ before opening fire on everyone,” Meislin-Dietrich said. “He was randomly shooting at everyone.”
Nevertheless, as noted by Ace, the lack of candor with the details of such occurrences and those like them illustrate the bias of those which are “objective” and forthright” when it comes to bringing us the news.
Take a moment and imagine if this would have been a bathhouse being the center of the storm, and a “fundamentalist christian” would have been the perpetrator, would the reporting of the event be different?
Unfortunately, I do not think this will be able to be ignored by the MSM since it will only be the first of many such acts taken by the “peaceful” followers of the “Religion of Peace.”

“…the lack of candor with the details of such occurrences…”
What evidence is there of a “lack of candor with the details”? What should have been in the referenced news report that was not, and why should it have been in the report?
There have been many terrorist attacks on American soil. There was one that occurred just a shade over ten years ago, on July 27, 1996. What was that attack, and what was the religious affiliation of the terrorist responsible for the attack?

I think I have already stated what I feel is not in the news, Meat. If one were not so blinded by their own ideology, one would not equate defense with terrorism.

“I think I have already stated what I feel is not in the news…”
I know what you have stated. I am challenging you to back up that claim with evidence.
Clearly, it is a challenge you do not feel you can meet. Thanks for clarifying that.
“If one were not so blinded by their own ideology, one would not equate defense with terrorism.”
And who, specifically, do you claim has “equate[d] defense with terrorism”?

Meatbrain,
Clearly, I love to have visitors and I love to engage in a healthy debate; however, I clearly find it irksome to take an extra step for those that cannot use their analytical prowess to come to certain conclusions.
Clearly, if you were to follow the above link pertaining to “Ace” at “Ace of Spades HQ” you would have clearly seen the point that I delved into. I found it somewhat responsible to paint a more thorough picture by presenting a story that did a much better job of filling in the pieces. Clearly, you would have picked up on that if you would have take the time to read instead of drawing your own partisan assumption.
Fact of the matter is, clearly, I consider this but another case in a long, long line of terrorists (dare I say hate-crimes as a conservative, but you may understand such rhetoric) attacks seen on American soil. For one who claims to be a blogger, thus, one who follows the news, clearly, you would remember the countless instances of Muslims not being able to rationally disagree with another race/religion and taking to violence, but, clearly, I underestimate your acumen.

“Clearly, if you were to follow the above link pertaining to “Ace” at “Ace of Spades HQ” you would have clearly seen the point that I delved into.”
Ace does not say what details he believed were missing. All he says is that “The lack of details about the gunman and the refusal to discuss possible motives tells us all the details about the gunman and all the possible motives.”
And that statement is ludicrous on its face. If we do not know the details, we do not know the details. Ace is, to be blunt, lying.
You do not tell us what details you believe are missing, either. Clearly, you’re not going to back up your accusation with any specifics. Clearly, this is not surprising to anyone.
And clearly, you cannot back up or clarify your vague accusation that someone has “equate[d] defense with terrorism”.
