    CS, you certainly get all excited when people catch you in a lie.

    You need to calm down.

    Liar. I specifically said the opposite and then you come in saying I said X. All I've done is point out possible motivations while specifically saying we can't draw any conclusions. Then you claim I'm jumping to conclusions.

    Just admit you're both a liar and a sack of dog shit and we can move on.

    Now now, people. ConfederateSon has 3 bright green rep pips. A substantial number of people agree with him so clearly his views have merit and his opinions command respect within the WF community. :marathon:

    Well, last I looked we still don't know who did it. It's appearing less likely the 20 y/o Saudi is responsible.

    Let's say some Timothy McVeigh type did it. Regardless of how much I happen to despise the typical country club republican, I don't think Timothy McVeigh represents the rank & file of the Republican party.

    Let's say some Tea Party radical who hates the Fed Gov and thinks there's no constitutional authority for collecting taxes did it. You know who would be jumping for joy? Karl Rove. He don't like those Tea Bagger nutters.

    Let's say it's al-queda. :shrug: I know it's horrible and all, and an 8 y/o died.....but if this is the best they can do, it's not much. And if it was the ragheads, I'd like to hear from all those flower children who are wetting their beds over our use of drones. I say drop silent death on all of them from the skies.

    No, the far right extremists aren't the typical Republican. That said, they're usually part of the Republican base; one which is pandered to with some regularity and talked up with all their talk of "if we lose at the ballot box we'll win at the bullet box!" The regular right and the far right aren't the same thing but they're fairly close together and it's just a matter of degrees. Just about always the militia nuts, the white supremacists, the birthers, and the rest of the extreme right consume the same far right media, they vote for the same people, and they share a lot of the same political ideology. They're just more radicalized than the country club types.

    For now who did it is an unsolved mystery & an unanswered question. Let's wait & see what evidence is discovered indicating anything first, before jumping to baseless conclusions.

    This is a tragedy but you liberal types don't take long to make it a political issue. That is what is sick.

    He wasn't at all responsible. Law enforcement has already publicly stated that he is not a suspect. People need to stop listening to the NY Post, especially considering they were one of the news media organization that contributed to the false reporting against Richard Jewell, for which they were sued in the amount of $15 million.

    God damn it, not again. Yet another poison letter has been mailed to a member of Congress. We never solved the case of the anthrax letters and now a letter with ricin powder has been mailed to the Senator from Mississippi.

    Does anyone know anything about Sen. Wicker (R-MS)? The only thing I know about him is he is one of the few Republicans to come out early for comprehensive immigration reform (what the far right claims is "amnesty").

    Back on topic, supposedly in the last six months jihadists released a new DIY terrorism handbook which did contain plans on how to construct a pipe bomb but I don't know if its design was the same as the ones used in the tax day bombing.

    You mean like the conservatives who instantly jumped to blame Obama or Muslims, compared the incident to Benghazi and began wailing about their guns being taken away?

    Like them?

    :lol:

    I guess it's possible that those particular set if words never publicly crossed Bush's lips, but there were several high ranking government officials, including Dick Cheney who put a lot of effort into making the public believe that Mohammed Ahta met with Iraqi generals just before 911.

    The attempt to rewrite history continues, but you've squandered all of your credibility trying to do so.

    Meaningless, as white supremacist groups have been linking to the same manuals, and they're all over the internet. The accounts I've heard say that the bombs were inside 6 quart pressure cookers and used a Seiko watch favored by AQ types, but the overall description of the bombs has been described as amateurish.

    Given that this took place in Boston, I'm surprised no one's mentioned the possibility of it being an IRA splinter group. IIRC, one of them did an attack in Ireland about a year ago that got nearly everyone pissed at them.

    If this turns out to be lefties or Jihadists you are going to really look more foolish CS.

    Come on kid.

    Why are you so invested in the idea of "domestic right wing terrorism" anyway?

    Look, moron, I have repeatedly said that we don't know who did it but that two groups seem to have the biggest likehood of having done it based upon a few facts which I have repeatedly listed. I have also said that until we learn more we don't know if those facts actually motivated the bomber or if they were just coincidence.

    You really are looking like a drooling idiot here trying to claim I said something I never actually said. You're right that one person is looking foolish here but, as usual, it is you because you are unable to comprehend simple written English. BTW those comments were specific to the tax day bombing not the ricin letter.

    You are repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly, dragging out your ideas of why it might be a domestic right wing terrorist.

    I don't see you speculating with equal fervor for the idea that it is a foreign Jihadist.

    Your disclaimers mean nothing. Promoting an "opinion" and then spending one line qualifying it mean nothing. It is similar to the moronic Obama Birthers and 9-11 Truthers engaging in discussion.

    You know who did this? Murderers did this.

    Their cause doesn't matter, it doesn't change the pain inflicted on people, or revive the dead.

    People who do things like this want attention to themselves or their causes, why rush to give them that?
