Honestly was wondering when this was going to eventually happen given that Hasan is more or less the lefts version of Kirk as a popular online influence among the youth and they still want an eye for an eye and then some.

    The Rick Scott thing is totally taken out of context, he can simply provide the context and there’s nothing else to say.

    I would actually love to see him defend the “America deserved 9/11” comment, and I think he actually might (even if he couches it some). That could actually be a watershed as I think there are a very, very large number of Americans (especially younger ones) who at least don’t give a shit about 9/11 and are tired of hearing of it, and even would agree with Hasan that we did deserve it. I could definitely see it as being a Luigi type moment where the population agrees with Hasan while the media and politicians clutch their pearls.

    But if he is called before Congress, and he sticks to his guns and is brave, then I think he could reach heights of popularity heretofore we cannot conceive of.
