Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

False alarm.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

What silliness. Only a silly conspiracy nut would buy into that.


How many times have they tried to blame Clinton for 9/11?
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

CNN reports that the bomber is already in custody.

Article is here.

I am anti death penalty, but in this case, death by slow torture seems good.


I don't think it's smart announcing that they are closing in on the suspects.These people do watch the news and they could see "Arrest imminent" as code for get the **** out of Dodge.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

It's not wild speculation, it's just an observation on the political beliefs of the administration. Napolitano took a political hit for comments early in her tenure that right wing extremists are the biggest threat to national security. If this were a right wing extremist you'd better believe she'd be looking for a mic to say "I told ya so".

At no point in time did Napolitano say that right wing extremists are the biggest threat to national security. That is a flat out lie.

She released a report, that was commissioned under the Bush administration, about the current state of affairs, warning signs, and what we should be looking out for in terms of right wing extremism. Releasing a report on something does not equate to commenting "that right wing extremists are the biggest threat to national security."

If you want to criticize the report, fine. But do not lie about what was said as you are doing here.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

That's my first thought, I too hope they have the guy(s). One a side note, the reports keep changing, were there four devices? Early on we heard that two unexploded devices were found, but all yesterday they were saying that wasn't the case and there were no other devices found other than the two that exploded.

WSJ reported that there were at least 4 bombs 2 exploded and 2 others that had been found. Boston Police said they did two security sweeps before the race began. So that's why I was thinking there was more than one person involved.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

Sorry, I'm sick and tired of Fascist Liberals putting The Constitution in the cross hairs every time some lunatic goes on a killing spree

They never let a crisis go to waste in order to push their agenda. The first reaction of regressives is "what inalienable right can we take away"

We've been told for days now by the MSM that "this was probably carried out by some right wing extremist". They've been setting up the next Obama press conference with victims in the background as props as he tells us it's "time to act" as he shreds The Constitution. Bush isn't any less guilty of this nonsense either. The monstrosity that is DHS was HIS idea and look at it now.
Wow....can you be any more wrong? The media has not been running around telling everyone that this was "carried out by some right wing extremist"....is that what FauxNews and the right-wing propoganda machine that you listen to are telling you?

Also...you have to laugh at your statement that "Fascist Liberals" put the Constitition in cross hairs every time some lunatic goes on a killing spree.....wasn't it Bush and the right-wing that gave us the "Patriot Act" which was the largest usurp of Constitutional Liberty in the history of this country?
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

Honestly. Is there anything funnier than a righty waving the Constitution around like thay really care about it?

Works both ways. Obama is shredding the Constitution too, and I don't hear a peep from lefties. But that is another story, and I don't think these back and forth accusations deserve a place in this discussion. I respectfully ask you to stop participating in this flame fest.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case


Yeah, but Napolitano did give people some insight as to how DHS is proceeding.

Janet Napolitano said officials continue to investigate the bombing with the FBI as a solitary act of terror.....snip~
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

I disagree with you on this point, since the immigration reform is targeted at mainly Hispanic nationals (although there are other nationalities too) who have been here for many years. However, there could be a bit of truth in what you are saying, in that people are tending to misinterpret what this so-called immigration reform is about.

Well it is another discussion for another day, but I will just say that political symbolism plays a very big role in empowering those in opposition.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

Wow....can you be any more wrong. The media has not been running around teeling everyone that this was "carried out by some right wing extremist"....is that what FauxNews and the right-wing propoganda machine that you listen to are telling you?

Also...you have to laugh at your statement that "Fascist Liberals" put the Constitition in cross hairs every time some lunatic goes on a killing spree.....wasn't it Bush and the right-wing that gave us the "Patriot Act" which was the largest usurp of Constitutional Liberty in the history of this country?

Bill Clinton had multiple opportunities to take out OBL and he failed

9/11 was planned on his watch. Clinton shares the majority for the blame.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

I wont talk about the other networks, but on CNN, they pretty much threw up every group in existence for a potential suspect, including a Saudi foreign national (and was quickly not declared a suspect). Stop feeling special just because right-wingers were mentioned.

Oh and

Boston Marathon bombs similar to 'lone wolf' devices, experts say - CNN.com

In this case, the formula seems very similar to one that al Qaeda has recommended to its supporters around the world as both crudely effective and difficult to trace. But it is also a recipe that has been adopted by extreme right-wing individuals in the United States.

The only bomb plots reported lately were Left Wing Terrorists in OWS

Sting nets 5 FBI says plotted to bomb bridge near Cleveland

Obama's buddies Ayers and Doehrn were left wing bomb making terrorists. Ironic that Obama's political campaign was started in the home of someone just like the Boston Bomber :2wave:
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

Michael Moore was convinced that it was a second Boston Tea Party, timed with Tax Day and Patriots Day, and with Newtown people on hand to represent Obama's push for gun laws. That was his "2+2" tweets claimed.

That's about the same logic and research he does for his documentaries.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

Not once. But those that tried to say it was an inside job by the Bush administration are conspiracy nuts.
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

At no point in time did Napolitano say that right wing extremists are the biggest threat to national security. That is a flat out lie.

Read the report, especially in combination with the accompanying "left wing" report, and the absence of any similar report being created for, you know, that other form of radical that really does focus on killing Americans and is recruiting domestically. Right wing extremists are Napolitano's boogey men and those reports made that very clear.

I mean, if she was really focused on "right wing extremism" how did her report manage to miss religious extremism? No, she focused on anti-illegal immigration, and economics... apparently those are the most important radicals to Napolitano.


She released a report, that was commissioned under the Bush administration, about the current state of affairs, warning signs, and what we should be looking out for in terms of right wing extremism. Releasing a report on something does not equate to commenting "that right wing extremists are the biggest threat to national security."

And where is the evidence that this was commissioned by Bush? It's 9 pages, slapped together like a high school book report, and its the driving evidence behind the claim of increased radicalization was a series of police shootings in Pittsburgh that happened days before the report was released.


If you want to criticize the report, fine. But do not lie about what was said as you are doing here.


I will criticize it, and in light of the content of that report (and the content that is lacking) and the left wing report, it's clear where Napolitano's greatest fears lie.

There's no dodge to note. If you were unable to view the coverage of CNN (which seems to be the case), I am here to report that they were throwing everything at the wall, and made less mentions of a right-wing potential than they did when they got word about the Saudi national.

Don't get upset just because I am pointing out that your perception of CNN television coverage was wildly off the mark.

Reagan and the neo-con generation made OBL who he was... the majority of the blame is hence theirs.
 
It's really amusing to watch everyone waiting with baited breath to find out what color the man is and what nation he's from so that they can apply their race/nationalism/gender assumptions to him.

Isn't it enough to know that he's a disgusting excuse for a human being and that he doesn't represent most of humanity?
 
Re: Officials: Arrest 'imminent' in Boston bombing case

Why are you having this utterly worthless partisan debate, before we even know what the facts are? You are as bad as the mass media which has egg all over its face after announcing that an arrest had been made and then having to back off and admit they jumped the gun. (Primary culprits CNN and the AP)

The trollishness is strong in this thread, and the trolls have taken it over, turning it from the topic of "closing in on culprits" to "Liberals are evil vs. Conservatives are evil" . Let the trolls have the thread, and let them trash each other to their hearts' content. The trolls have won their silly-assed victory. I'm done with this thread. Instead, I am going to have an intelligent conversation about this topic with a 6 month old baby.
