Boston Marathon Bombing

[bobabode]

Too soon to speculate. Three dead and over one hundred injured. Tragic.

My heart and thoughts go out to the dead and their families and the injured.

I hope the bastards pay heavily for this.

I've already seen some far out theories from whacko friends and family, but it's too early to know.

Pure speculation, but that's what I'm wondering at the moment. I would think any Islamist extremists, etc., would have taken credit at this point, if they were behind it. The FBI searched the apartment of a Saudi man in Boston, but that doesn't necessarily mean sh*t, plus they didn't even need a warrant apparently, the guy let them in.

And this is totally intuition, or maybe I am wrong or just full of shit (or both!), but it doesn't feel like an Al-Qaeda, etc. operation. My guess is home grown, far right whackos. More of an Oklahoma City, rather than 9/11, feel to it.

The winner of today's prize for logical fallacies is the one and only Wasillaguy. This prestigious award follows from the WG's insistent use of the false equivalency.

If you're not sure how you qualified for this honor, in the words of the immortal Casey Stengel, "You can look it up."

My bad, you're right, no equivalence between the two. I was thinking Obama and the rest of the administration would be throwing some bogus story out today about the motivations of the attackers, but apparently not, so not really the same at all.

There may well be fingerprints on or in the one they got that did not explode. Was the third death the young man who had a leg blown off?

Traditionally, Islamist terrorists will claim "credit" for their deeds within hours of the act. So far, nothing.

The media reports what sells and, of course they try to turn a profit from it.

After all, they are a business. And, the point of any business is to make money..........................

(Gee, where have I heard THAT before?)

Speaking of profit, I wonder if Fox and the GOP are going to try again to get one over on the American public by trying to fault our President for something/anything. Again.

Worked great against Bush, why not?

Normally American terrorists don't target innocent civilians although Rudolph
did in Atlanta? Madmen are Madmen so there's just no reasoning behind it.
