TYLER — Neal Barton offers his "Point of View" about the alleged shooter at Fort Hood.

I am absolutely appalled at Mr. Barton's Muslim statement. Can we say Oklahoma City bombing? Muslim does not equal terrorist. I cannot imagine being Muslim in this town when people like this are so racist!!

Shouldn't we be promoting racial (yes race can be a type of religion) tolerance instead of intolerance?

I am so turned off by this racist comment that I will not watch this newcast anymore. Go and get educated about race, religion, and politics. It is call CRITICAL THINKING!

Don't try and judge Muslims or any one because of one persons actions. that's like trying to judge all whites for slavery, and that was right her in AMERICA!!!, After the law passed to abolish, it continue,and to this day some still think in that mentaltiy, so let God do the judging . That man will pay for what he did, he is paying now. Just my opinion, we are still trying to recover from all this mess!! slavery, etc. The Oklahoma bombing etc. Home grown terorists.
Some of still cannot accept the fact that we have a black president, and we want to blame everything on him. Go ahead if it makes you feel better, but we all know better, don't we.i

It's not the fact that we have a black president, but that he's musslem as well. Anyone that voted for him after knowing what was known about him deserves anything that his term will brig to our Country. By the way, he's not black..... I'd rather have a Purple President!!!

This slab of ham even has an opinion on a huge tragedy and gets "top story" billing.

Let me guess - he was against it, right? Ooooh, edgy.

And pluses for throwing in some anti-Obama stuff in Republican territory. You're getting outright courageous now.

Mr. Neal Barton,

Thank you for saying what my family was thinking! Obama says "don't jump to conclusions". Why not? Because he is a muslim? Because it may hurt his family's feelings? Because it's not politically correct? Is Obama on the shooters side or the people who lost their lives?? What's next?? Obama will push for a new policy that will protect Muslims from fighting in the war against the Middle East?! So this man didn't want to be deployed?...Did he think he was above all the other soldiers who have fought and died for this country in which he has lived comfortably? DID HE THINK HE SHOULD BE EXEMPT BECAUSE OF HIS RELIGION AND BELIEFS? WAS IT NOT EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT JOINING THE MILITARY MAY REQUIRE YOU TO ACTUALLY FIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY?? It seems to me that even if he was American by birth he might not have been in his heart...it seems that he may have been a sleeping cell. I don't blame the shooters family nor do I expect them to pay for what he has done...but enough is enough!!!! Immigrants from all countries and beliefs should adapt to our way of life. We "America" needs to stop catering to Muslims and terrorists because it might offend someone. We need to WAKE UP and realize that the "leader of OUR country" is not looking after the country instead he is too busy kissing other countries behind trying to be diplomatic and making us look like whimps!!! Our counrty is doomed! I am praying that we are able to recover from all this mess someday.
