Salon: Let's Hope the Boston Marthon Bomber Is a White American

Sorry, I hadn't realized I was swimming so much upstream. Terrorist actions aren't associated with party affiliation, but they ARE associated with certain minority out-groups. Seriously, are you suggesting that some voter registered as a Republican or a Democrat was trying to make a political statement by setting off bombs in crowds?

Now, IF it should turn out that the bomber was motivated primarily or entirely by, say, the desire to cut taxes, and thought this bombing would help his cause, then maybe political party affiliation might get more attention in future terrorist acts, but I doubt it. Do you really think this?

 

The following has to be one of the most ridiculous statements I have ever read: "NOT ALL CONSERVATIVES ARE RACIST, but all racists are conservative." AND...
"Liberalminority" is definitely an oxymoron!

 

lol dude I don't care . My feelings and hopes aren't fueled by the loud fringe and their responses to atrocity.

 

If that were true, the Tea Party wouldn't be slung through the mud anytime something happens, without tether to reality. Same goes for OWS.

This country is a powder keg. Between race (left and right based thanks to one of them), spending/revenue, gun control, class warfare, Bush/Obama hate... bad economy, both sides blaming the other...

It is hard not to make a pressure cooker reference. Things can go bad... I don't want more to divide left/right... that is all I am saying.

Thank God this is all about you.

 

That is an impartial post, I could agree with it.

 

Democrats: Freedom For Poor. Republicans: Freedom For Rich. Libertarians: Freedom For All.

 

If things are that bad, I admit I hadn't appreciated it. I do know that certain groups, usually racial and religious, tend to get blamed for this kind of behavior. Sure, everyone is a member of many minority "groups", but few of them are so explosive.

I still have difficulty imagining that anyone upset by spending/revenue, or gun control, or class warfare, or political party affiliation, would find setting off bombs in crowds to be an effective way to achieve any of their goals. As far as I can tell, such terrorism has resulted EITHER from batnuts insanity, or blinding fanaticism. I think the Salon article is saying that IF the bomber(s) are not members of some group suspected of such fanaticism, then the presumption will be insanity. And alas, someone else's religion is always suspect, because we all believe in the One True Religion, which means those who sincerely believe in another are both crazy AND fanatics!

too late. lol

Waco was just a coincidence. It was the government that initiated the hostility that particular day.

The Oklahoma City bombing was purposefully done because of Waco, not Patriots Day (which was actually 3 days earlier). To go further, Columbine was done to out do Oklahoma, though they missed the date by a day....can't depend on kids these days.

 

You can easily spot those shills who are Right Wing trolls who's primary purpose is to give fellow Righties the quotable quotes for their Fox Faux outrage that the REAL Left does not say or believe.

 

I love all the theories popping up about how it was tax day and how it was Patriots Day etc. etc. Yet, the fact that it was the freaking Boston Marathon with tens of thousands of people attending and standing in close proximity to each other couldn't possibly be a juicy target for a terrorist. No, it takes a special kind of willful ignorance to completely ignore that aspect and start blaming it on tax day.

When an evil white "Christian" terrorist ala Nichols commits his acts there is universal condemnation from all churches and all denominations across the country. If a Muslim blows up something, at best you get a tepid response from some mullahs but mostly you hear crickets chirping from the deafening silence of the Muslim community. Google it and you will find plenty of Muslims that have also pointed this out and are working for change. The problem is that clearly they are the minority as of now. In time perhaps Islam will mature as Christianity did since the Middle Ages but right now most of them are stuck in the 7th century.

the left just wishes it to be a white god fearing republican so they finally have something to truly scream about when it comes to violence from the right. they couldnt pin loughner,lanza or holmes on the tea party or conservatives so they desperately needed this for political agenda. they have been screaming about how the "christian right" is so psychotic and dangerous yet they dont have the recent examples of what they try to claim the right wing is today. They cant use McVeigh, he didnt do Oklahoma bombing for political reasons and the man denounced his religion.

thing is for all agendas sake the left needs it to be a white christian male doing this as an attack towards the government, so desperately do they need that righ wing gun nut to go on a deadly rampage over his 2nd Amendment rights or because he hates Obama. 1 is all they need to use and create a hyperbole of what every right wing male is.

 

Well said. They use McVeigh all the time, though. It's amazing... that attack occurred so long ago, but they use it whenever one of their pet minority groups does something bad. It's a time-tested, old-standby of a card, and they use it to create a moral equivalency argument whenever they need one. It wouldn't matter if there was an Islamic terror attack every day in this country, the left would just say "oh yeah well Tim McVeigh *blah blah* white *blah blah*" and that would be the end of it.

The truth is, the left is STARVING for white perpetrators, and any and all examples they can use, they will use. They are aware of the ridiculous amounts of violent crime coming from blacks and Hispanics, so they apply a handicap to try and balance it. For every 1 white crime committed by whites, 100 crimes committed by minorities are balanced out. There is a similar handicap placed on terror attacks, although it is far more off-balance. The dozen or so abortion clinic bombings over the last several decades seems to balance out the tens of thousands of Islamic terror attacks that have occurred since 9/11.

The McVeigh card is getting kind of dusty... they need a new white villain to plaster up every time one of their groups misbehaves. They are hoping that this is the one.

 

all this talk, and watch it be some black dude lol

 

What kind of racist garbage is this? Tim Wise was dropped on his head as a baby. Probably on purpose and probably repeatedly.

 

White American bombs WTC's - gets put in prison
Foreign Arabs bomb WTC's:

- Invade Afganistan, huge American casualty rate, country destabilised, Nth Pakistan destabilised, huge civilan death and injury count, war still ongoing 10 years later.

- Invade Iraq, huge American casualty rate (now higher than the deaths of the WTC's), country destabilised, civil war , huge civilan death and injury count, war still ongoing 7 years later.

Which of these two options is more palatable to you?

 

I think the beta liberal white males are 100% correct. And they should lead by example, and all kill themselves in a mass suicide.

 

For the record: I am neither a "winger", right or left, nor a "troll". Can you say "ad hominem"?

 

Democrats sure hate white people......

 

I was thinking that too lol

 

So because you are only concerned about the aftermath fallout, it's okay to actually wish the perp to be from a specific group. That is an amazing admission.

 

It all boils down to the "victim / oppressor" dichotomy....exploiting it is foundational to the left's politics.

Between a Muslim and a white male, I'll let you guess which they consider the "oppressor"

 

democrats hate white people

 

If the white male is also a Democrat, I've made my pick.

 

Yep, that pretty much sums it up, doesn't it? *nods*
