Chechnyans. So, the potential for this being another Radical Islamist terror attack just became very likely.

OWS? Are you serious? Give me an effin' break. WTF?

And, of course it wasn't rightwingers. Who's have ever heard of an anti-big government freedom loving patriot.............Oh, isn't that how McVeigh described himself?

Just sayin'................

Is their anything that isn't corporate anymore? The Fed Ex Orang Bowl; the Tostiito's Fiesta Bowl; The Edward Jones Dome, Bank One Ballpark. Are we sure that it wasn't the Apple Boston Marathon.

your indignation about Americans assuming it was either foreign jihadists or domestic right-wing terrorism is rather indicative of your inability to grasp that the worst terrorists attacks in recent memory were by people perceived to be tied to these groups or actually belonging to them.

Think about it. And what do you mean by left? Most American news groups in the mainstream media were assuming an individual upset with the government or overseas terrorists. There is a reason people knee jerk this way: 9-11 and Oklahoma.

Then why bomb Boston? It doesn't make any sense. A Chechnyan separatist would bomb something associated with Moscow.

Unless he was pissed at the US for helping them. That's possible I suppose. Pride can manifest in strange ways.
