I admit to have speculated incorrectly. The bombers were not Glenn Beck, Alex Jones

followers. Though they're followers are still blithering idiots.

The Boston, Watertown police and FBI have done a fantastic job!

The right wing nut jobs have been saying things like, the Obama administration are trying to pin this bombing on white militia and that they let a Saudi get out of the country. That was said on Hannity.

Bravo to the Boston authorities!

Hope they catch the other murderer soon.

to hurt anyone. The militia movement is nothing now like it was in the 1990's (and it was full of morons then too).

Now you just have basement-dwelling losers and meth-head dumbasses who care more about shooting their AR-15 at pumpkins than hurting anyone else.

If it was the far-right doing this attack, they would have been too stupid to make a bomb and too cowardly to actually go through with the plan. Their 'operations' these days consist of posting racist messages on YouTube comment sections.

Why does the media insist on speculating that it's the far right when the far right hasn't actually done anything in over a decade? Their movement is dead (and skeletal at this point), and it's time for the media to stop giving these dumbasses the attention these losers crave.

although I was sorely tempted to blame the RW due to the fact that no one claimed responsibility in the immediate aftermath. Even now, after knowing their identities, I will withhold opinions related to their motive until more facts emerge.
