Here's my assessment of the "Blame Game" in the next 24 hours

[brooklynite]

Some left-wingers are going to blame Tea Partiers because it's Patriots Day.

Some right-wingers are going to blame Obama/gun grabbers because the races was dedicated to the Newtown victims

Some neocons are going to blame Islamic terrorists because...well, just because.

None of this will be based on any actual evidence.

1. Already happening...

On both sides.

[Warpy]

2. It always does

However, in general, attacks by the left are crimes against property and attacks by the right are crimes against people.

13. Rightwingers don't attack property. Thanks. I'll make note of that.

IRS building, 2010

14. Nice strawman

I didn't say that and you know it.

Now take it out and play with it, it's all yours.

16. Did you read his words, "in general?"

Do you know what "in general" means?

3. Today

is also Israel independence day, and our Tax day. April 15 2013

[Fgiriun]

4. It doesn't matter what the intentions were

Whoever the piece of garbage that's responsible for this should be abhorred by everyone in the country and the world.

5. I'm going to blame RW domestic terrorists until proven otherwise.

I haven't forgotten the Atlanta Olympic Park bomb, no OK City, nor the many other attacks by RW terrorists in this country.

If RWers don't want folks assuming they are guilty because they have always done this sort of thing, they need to A) Stop making terrorist threats against liberals and B) Stop setting off bombs when they lose at the ballot box and in the courtroom.

7. The JFK Library bomb tends to make me agree

While it's tenuous at best, it makes me think this may be another McVeigh at work.

[Behind the Aegis]

8. The JFK Library was a mechanical issue. EDIT: that info has changed.

It seems they (Boston Police) are saying it is related.

[Floyd_Gondolli]

6. This just in

People talk about the news.

In other news, the sun rose today.

9. Pre-politicized for your convenicence!

P.S. You forgot that it's IRS day.

10. Don't forget the inevitable conspiracy theories

I'm sure they will be wide and varied and quite entertaining.

11. It's either tax day or near Hitler's birthday (April 20) is the reason.

Shit happens around Hitler's birthday now all the time. Columbine shooting, OKC bombing.

[octoberlib]

12. Fox News and the New York Post are already blaming Muslim terrorists. nt

[olddots]

15. who would Hearst have blamed ?

[question everything]

17. NY New Year's Eve; superbowl

I don't know whether anyone can be blamed. But if New York has managed to attract millions every Dec. 31st, if Superbowl games went without a hitch, then I have to question the security there.

If no one thought that this event can attract loonies, or terrorists, or others - then something is definitely wrong.

18. I hate Reccing this thread.

I don't want you to be right.
