Fox regular jokes about killing all the Muslims

oing beyond even Pamela Geller, Fox News regular Erik Rush responded to the Boston Marathon bombing today by suggesting that we round up Saudis and then kill them — but don’t worry, he was mostly joking.

Latching onto an thinly-sourced New York Post report that police have detained a Saudi national (the city’s police commissioner later said that they have no suspects in the bombing yet), Rush tweeted, “Everybody do the National Security Ankle Grab! Let’s bring more Saudis in without screening them! C’mon! #bostonmarathon.” The columnist, who boasts on his Twitter bio that he “was the first to break the story of Barack Obama’s ties to militant preacher Rev. Jeremiah Wright on a national level,” followed up with a response to someone asking if he was blaming Muslims: “Yes, they’re evil. Kill them all.”

who someone else tackled at the scene because he was running away from the bomb while being Arab. They said the guy is cooperating with police. So either they have a bomber or it's a guy who happened to be on the scene and a bystander tackled him because they figured an Arab must be a terrorist.

Especially given the "being cooperative" part. Terrorists are rarely cooperative.
