Back ground checks for cell phones. However, it is a bit early to start politicizing this, let the uncouth left do that by trying to blame it on "Yet another Patriot Day attack from a rightwinger"...

It is way too early to know who did this, why, and to use that to make political points.

Many types of fertalizer are difficult to buy in any signifigant quantities due to Oklahoma City.

The right-wing extremist theory was strengthened by fact April 15 is tax day, an event that in recent years has been used as a rallying date for members of the Tea Party group.

The Tea Party movement is, of course, named after the famous Boston Tea Party political protest of 1773 and, with President Obama’s taxation policies widely criticised by many conservative groups – both moderate and extreme - the date is increasingly seen as a focal point for right-wing protest.

Within hours of the bombings in Boston that left at least three dead and more than 100 injured, left-leaning analysts in the media started the speculation that the bomber was “right-wing.”

It follows years of warnings already from the Obama administration that those who oppose abortion are potential terrorists and the military needs to beware of evangelical Christians.

Less than two hours after the horrific bombing at the Boston Marathon, CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen was already speculating that "right-wing extremists" could be behind the attack. He told CNN anchor Jake Tapper:
I'm reminded of Oklahoma City, which was a bombing, which was initially treated as a gas explosion. First reports are often erroneous.

Before any information was available that might indicate who is responsible for the horrific Boston Marathon bombings, Esquire’s Charles P. Pierce cautioned readers against “jumping to conclusions” and blaming the attack on “foreign terrorism.”

However, he was compelled to remind people that Monday is the “official Patriots Day holiday” in Massachusetts, celebrating the Battles at Lexington and Concord. He also pointed out that April 19, the actual date of the battles, is connected to Oklahoma City bomber Tim McVeigh, who apparently considered himself a “waterer of the tree of liberty and the like,” according to Pierce.

“I’ll bet good money it’s a right-wing nutjob. Today is April 15, Boston Harbor was where the original Tea Party took place and the on-going gun-safety legislation makes it the mostly likely culprit,” commenter Linda Ginsburg wrote.

BAD TASTE?

Where is your evidence that any of these people are "liberals"?

So, you saw it too, but then dismiss it because it wasn't enough of them to make you think that some people on the left are asses?

You got Wolf Blitzer stressing how Patriots' Day "may be a factor"... You got Charles Pierce of Esquire pointing out that because of tax day, etc. that they shouldn't blame foreign terrorism because Tim McVeigh thought he was watering the tree of liberty.

But hey, when you were watching the news you didn't "see" it so it can't exist.

Did I miss some mention of the Tea Party in your post Damocles?

Don't forget the right has vilified first responders for at least three years now. Just the other day STY was bitching they made too much money.


Next time try legitimate sources.



Huh. We've been watching MSNBC nonstop. Still no mention of teabaggers, just the Saudi kid.

Thak God Bush still isn't president or he'd allow him to leave the country.

And we would be invading Yemmen tomorrow, and spend 5 years trying to win harts and minds.

Wolf Blitzer didn't "blame the Tea Party." He was speculating on possibilities - as everyone did yesterday. CNN also reported that the synchronized bombing could have been a sign of Al Qaeda - that doesn't mean they were "blaming Al Qaeda."

And I can guarantee that you didn't see one of those links yesterday - you just dug them up when you felt embarassed about what you posted.

No one has "blamed" anyone yet. The Boston PD tried to blame a Saudi student who was seen running away from an explosion, but then they realized he was just a Saudi student running like everyone else, and not a terrorist bomber. They are breaking in every 15-minutes to tell us they still don't know anything, so no... there hasn't really been any "blame" placed for this, just speculation.... and the speculation continues to devolve into this wild guess this might have been a right-wing nut. Yeah.. it was in Boston on Tax Day and Patriot Day... must have been those crazy Tea Party people!

And for the record, what difference does it make who did this? What IF it's a Sarah Palin-loving right winger making a political statement? Does that mean Liberalism defeats Conservatism in the debate over the budget or gay marriage, gun control or abortion? Does it change the dynamic of politics in any way? Or is it just some "red meat" you can throw out whenever you're denigrating and attacking conservatives? Is THAT why you all want this to be the work of a "rightie?"

Just shut the fuck up if you don't want to have a discussion. This is your typical retreat from ANY criticism, EVER!

Kind of like the epidemic of Black Panthers intimidating voters?

I actually agree with you, that no one is "blaming anyone" at this point... but don't think that "red meat" is a tool that's only used by "the left".

I love the brillant ellequence and suppelness of his argument... they way the neuance illistrates the well thought out points and how all the positions he takes build to a solid argument... You know... he really is an expert at rhetoric.
