Politics are at the heart of this so it's impossible not to bring them into it. Just on the face of it this week is drenched with days that are of major significance to patriot/militia/anti-government groups in the US.

April 15 - Patriot's Day, commemorating the battles of Lexington and Concord
April 19 - 18th anniversay of the Oklahoma City bombing
April 19 - 20th anniversary of the bloody end to the Waco siege of the Branch Davidian compund
April 20 - Hitler's birthday

To not talk about this would be just sticking our heads in the sand.

Add me to the list. Very happy Lisa is home and safe and that you are not fretting like hell over a silent phone right now.

As well, there are victims to think about. One of the dead was an 8 yr old boy, I believe.

Doesn't make sense for anyone but remember the Atlanta bombing? Clearly, it seems to be amateur night regardless of who is involved, given the odd timing ( hours after most of the specatators and world-class competitors had left) and relatively low fatalities.

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.

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.

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.
