EXCLUSIVE: Claim that alleged bomber is a registered Democrat collapses

Right-wing media have falsely claimed -- citing no evidence -- that alleged Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad is a registered Democrat. Media Matters for America has contacted the offices of the registrar in Shahzad's hometowns and confirmed that he is in fact not a registered voter in those towns.

Shahzad's hometowns: Shahzad is not a registered voter

Media Matters confirmed registration status with Bridgeport, Shelton offices of the registrar. According to media reports, Shahzad -- who became a naturalized citizen in 2009 -- has lived in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Shelton, Connecticut, for the past several years. Media Matters contacted the office of the registrar in both locations, and each confirmed that Shahzad is not a registered voter.

4. What fuckwit was spouting that bulshit?

Seriously, what rightwing fuckwit would pull something so simple to debunk?

7. Probably the same fuckwits that would challenge

Obama's citizenship as phony over and over again; even with clear evidence to the contrary.

5. Doesn't really matter

Once the right wing hate mongers and liars say it, those morons who follow them will never think otherwise. Even "if" those who say it take it back, he idiots that listen them will simply think it's some "plot" and it was a "forced" apology, I have seen it to many times!

We have to face facts 20% of the country are idiots, and those are the same 20% who listen to Fox news, Rush and Beck!

6. RW needed to distract followers so they wouldn't notice that he graduated from Moonie University

This guy was a PATSY for Bush/Moon's fascist agenda...no different than all the other patsies they've used over the last 5 decades.

Looks to me like BushInc wants greater military presence in Pakistan (yes, BushInc still has hawks friendly to their agenda in DC), and have some Pakistani ops helping them, just like they did with BCCI. No surprise to me the guy was going to Dubai.

8. What a coinkydink.

This'll drive the coinkydink theorists crazy!

9. coincidence theorists are as willfully blind as freepers and teabaggers...
