CBS’s Bob Schieffer – The Christian religion has its full, you know, full helping of nuts too

cbsOn Sunday’s Face the Nation on CBS, Bob Schieffer tried to defend the fact that the Fort Hood mass shooter was a muslim. Saying:

“It’s looking more and more like he was just, sort of, a religious nut. And you know Islam doesn’t have a majority”

Then he stops and says the following about Christians

” the Christian religion has its full, you know, full helping of nuts too.”



Newsbusters has the rest of the conversation with Lindsey Graham (Speaking of nuts):

Schieffer made the comments while speaking to Senator Lindsey Graham, who agreed that Muslims do not have “a corner” on extremism. Schieffer went on to wonder what role political correctness played in the shooter, Major Nidal Hasan, not being held accountable for radical comments he made prior to the attack: “Do you think the fact that he was a Muslim may have caused the military to kind of step back and be reluctant to challenge him on some of this stuff for fear that they’d be accused of discrimination or something like that?”

Graham replied: “I hope not. I hope – I hope that’s not the case….his actions do not reflect on the Islamic – Muslim faith” Schieffer added: “Well, I’m not suggesting that they do.” Promoting the very political correctness that Schieffer asked about, Graham argued: “But some people are. Some people are, and I want to say, as a United States Senator, that I reject that….Let’s don’t accuse people of basically giving him a pass because he’s a Muslim. Because I don’t think there’s any evidence of that.”

    Did Bob Schieffer ever say who the Christian nuts where that flew planes into buildings and murdered American soldiers in the name of Jesus. Just who are these nuts this liberal, poor excuse for a journalist is talking about and why didn’t Senator
    Graham challenge him on this idiotic statement?
