Diane Sawyer: Major Nidal Hasan "just another worker with a gun and a grudge."

Opening Tuesday's World News with the workplace shooting in Manchester, Connecticut, anchor Diane Sawyer saw it as one in a long line of incidents involving a “worker with a gun and grudge” as she described the nine killed as “the worst rampage since 13 were killed last November at Fort Hood, Texas.”

Army Major Nidal Hasan's business cards identified him as a “Soldier of Allah” and his actions at Fort Hood, clearly motivated by Islamic jihadism, hardly fits in the same category as an aggrieved worker with a gun who has gone on a rampage. Nonetheless, Sawyer's led the August 3 newscast:

Good evening. Another American tragedy tonight, another worker with a gun and a grudge. This time, nine people are dead, the worst rampage since 13 were killed last November at Fort Hood, Texas. In the normally quiet down of Manchester, Connecticut, this morning one shift was letting off, another was starting the day at a beer distribution center.

Back in November of 2009 I posted an article "Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil, See No Evil" where in I wrote that...It boggles the mind to consider the extent to which some of our liberal progressive fellow citizens will travel to keep from accepting the reality that our nation has been at war with facist Islam terrorists to ensure their idea of “cultural diversity”, “political correctness" and "religious sensitivity."

Apparently, at least as far as ABC and Diane Sawyer are concerned, nothing much has changed!
