Meanwhile, 60 miles from the miltary exercises in Bastrop, Fort Hood remains the largest military base in the US and one of the largest military installations on Earth.

And it is one of 31 bases in Texas.

Shorter Chuck: Help! Non-believers heard my dog whistle and know that I am an idiot and/or a grifter!

Shorter Chuck Norris: I never said the military was trying to take over Texas. Oh, sure, I implied it was trying to take over Texas, I made thinly veiled allusions to the fact that it was trying to take over Texas, I pandered to the feverish paranoid fantasies of others who say the military was trying to take over Texas, but I never actually said so.

Ever notice how these Right Wingers change direction on a whim? Come on man, have some backbone and actually admit that you pushed a theory that the government was trying to take over Texas.

Norris should focus more on his bad acting and his cheesy toupee.

I didn’t say what I said and no amount of tricky twisted replays of the tape are going to change that.

His agent obviously reached him a little too late and is trying to limit the damage to what little remains of his career.

It depends upon the meaning of just

It’s just a training exercise.’ But I’m not sure the term ‘just’ has any reference to reality when the government uses it

littlegirlblue · May 25, 2015, 2:37pm

And his exercise machine scam

Actor Chuck Norris become the equal of every other “walk-it-back” , “nuance & word parsing” distort for my own agenda - politician!

ajm · May 25, 2015, 2:38pm

Longer Chuck Norris: and etc.

FIFY

Personally, Chuck, I think God is trying to take over Texas with the weeks of floods, tornadoes and the like. Maybe he’s trying to rid the state of the crazies like you.

mantan · May 25, 2015, 2:44pm

I’m not sure

In spades, Chuck.

And the media covers what this old b rated has-been has to say…why?

bp · May 25, 2015, 2:59pm

There is no story here. Who really cares what Muck Borris has to say, except for the folks out in fringemarsh.

The bible thumpers use the gays for 9/11 in New York or earthquakes in California. In truth God is pissed off at Rick Perry and James Inhofe which explains the shit storms in Texas and Oklahoma.

Oh the humanity, someone get this small man some help fast, he is twisting in the wind so much he is about to hurt himself…
