Actually you are not, not even remotely. The topic is a bomb that went off outside the office of the NAACP and a barbershop. Did you know that? Do we know who did it? No. Do we know why they did it? No. Trying to use this to blame any one, right or left, in the absence of any evidence is pure over the top partisan hackery.

"Improvised explosive device" set off near Colorado Springs NAACP office

An improvised explosive device was detonated against the exterior wall of a building housing the Colorado Springs chapter of the NAACP on Tuesday, officials said.

The explosion knocked items off the office walls but no one was injured.

Agents from the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives went to the scene after the blast to gather evidence and place markers.

The FBI said that a gasoline can was placed next to the device but the contents did not ignite.

Luckily for the NAACP office, the bomb turned out to be somewhat of a dud, and nobody was injured.

Can we at least wait until we know who did it before we start blaming the right? It could have just as easily been a left winger hoping that the right would be blamed for this. Anyone remember Ashley Todd? She carved a damn B on her face hoping people would blame Obama supporters for it. Some people are insane and political affiliation is impossible to determine at this point.

The suspect was described as an older balding white guy driving an old beat up pickup truck. Just saying.... :mrgreen:

Racial progress is turning into racial regression. I hope the bomber is caught and, if he truly did intend to hit the NAACP, charged with a hate crime. Although, given he current climate, I wouldn't be surprised if the court went back to 1950s legislation and let him off.

That would be hate against buildings?

Probably the beauty shop next door amirite? Jealous boyfriend decides to bomb strip mall....how often have we heard that in the news!

Your sarcasm doesn't change the fact that nobody knows who the target was.

I guess if an office that has a connection to blacks is in the vicinity, well then that has to be the target, amirite?
 
Regardless of the target, whoever did this needs to go to jail for a very long time.

Amazing how you will grasp for straws when linking Obama to the IRS or any other conspiracy of the month but man...saying that a bomb was most likely intended for a political organization rather than a beauty salon...not on your watch!

I agree it's toward the organization and not the structure, but I'm curious about one thing... What work does the NAACP actually do? Or more specifically, what productive work do they actually do? Seems to me they have joined with the left in a never ending campaign to perpetuate racial division.

Compared to the Oklahoma City bombing, they don't even show up on the radar.

Obama blames Fox = Nimby blames Fox.

I don't see how you can say using the IRS to stop a group the President disagrees with is aceptable in your book.

If Fox disappeared tomorrow, do you think the issue would disappear with them?

Deferring to Bush on this subject seems like you are Ok with what the Obama administration did here.

Are you outraged over this?

Yes the President benefitted from what the IRS did. I never said the President ordered it or even had to know about it, he is still responsible.
 
Re: FBI investigating explosion outside NAACP office in Colorado

MSNBC appears to be playing up the bombing.

local news picture of the extent of the bomb damage:

Unrelated photo used by MSNBC:

On the other side there are stories saying the bombing is fake because there is a black spot on that wall from a Google Street View picture in September, but the small black soot spot in the top picture does appear fresh while the rest of the spot looks like water damage.

Yes, they all exist in your head.

Like this one. What proof do you have that this was a right wing terror attack ?

Since when do we need proof to label things terror attacks?

But lets see.. NAACP is a political organisation and their direct opposite and opponents are all on the right wing. Hence any terror attack, which it automatically is when it is political according to the right.. then this must be a right wing terror attack.
