Who knows who is behind this yet, but Bart, the right-wing nutjobs so far have the monopoly on domestic terrorism: Atlanta Olympics, Oklahoma City, abortion clinics, etc. Not to mention various right-wing militias who like to talk the talk.

The Atlanta bombing and the abortion clinic bombings were committed by the same person.

Oklahoma City is supposed to have been done by Timothy McVeigh but I question that because 1) McVeigh didn't have a driver's license when he was arrested right after the event for driving without a driver's license and 2) the MO for the attack was identical to the 1993 WTC attack.

Item #1 matters because McVeigh supposedly rented the Ryder truck in his own name and with a driver's license that has never been produced. He did have a Michigan ID card that came up in the trial, but that was not a driver's license and it could not have been used to rent a vehicle.

Item #2 matters because the design and yield of the two devices were textbook in their similarities. If Al Qaeda didn't produce the OK City device then they certainly trained McVeigh to produce it.

Bear in mind that I'm not saying that he didn't do it, just that I have questions.

I see you one random single-issue radical anti-gay nutjob and raise you a man flying his plane into the Austin IRS building.

Making bombs and killing innocent bystanders though.....still not an even scorecard.

We aren't going to play a game of "Which Political Ideology Commits The Most Terrorist Attacks." Terrorists have absolutely nothing in common with anyone on this forum.

LOL no, it's just a question of whether it was an overtly partisan comment for a newscaster to state that it's not clear whether 'a foreign terrorist or right-wing domestic terrorist' was behind the bombing.

Given that an Aryan Nations type of psycho tried to blow up the MLK Day parade in Spokane, Wash. last year with a device that could have killed dozens had it worked, it is justifiable to speculate that a right-wing terrorist is just as likely to target a large crowd as a Muslim terrorist is. The more responsible thing is to block out all the media noise from idiots like Wolf Blitzer when they go on their hyperbolic worst during events like this and just wait a while for an official statement from the police and federal authorities.

$1:

The Atlanta bombing and the abortion clinic bombings were committed by the same person.

There have been numerous firebombings/bombings/shootings acid attacks against abortion clinics and abortion doctors in their own homes, its not like Eric Rudoplh was a pioneer on those targets.

That might not mean much. SWAT teams get called out to collect on student loans anymore.

Sad commentary on the hideousness of pop culture inserting itself into reality that even in moments like this an aimless void like Sarah Palin can end up as the centre of attention. What's next, Wolf Blitzer breathlessly repeating comments from a Lohan or Kardashian?

That'll be on Entertainment Tonight, no doubt.

Meh, you can't really use random tweets to prove any points. I have no doubt I could find a 100 tweets blaming iton Obama. Neither left nor right has a monopoly on stupid ignorant people.

Left wing assholes are just as bad as right wing assholes and anyone who tells you different is just trying to deflect the truth.

It's time they started making people responsible for the idiotic statements they make public and then we could put rabble rousers like Glenn Beck and Wolf Blitzer in a nice safe place where they could hold endless debates about which side of the political spectrum is batshit crazier.

How about we keep this on topic, off politics and no one will get hurt.
