Look Who Liberal Media Blame For Blasts
Commentators speculate about ‘domestic’ component in bombing
Call up the FBI. Whistle down Boston police. The commentators across the television airwaves have pinpointed if not an individual, the part of society from which the Boston bomber descended.
The right wing.
It started yesterday even as the smoke from the terror attack still was wafting over the skies of Boston, where three were killed and more than 100 wounded in two bomb blasts set off at the close of the Boston Marathon.
It was when CNN national-security analyst Peter Bergen was questioned by reporter Jake Tapper about the explosions, and Bergen said it reminded him of the Oklahoma City bombing, for which Timothy McVeigh was arrested, convicted and executed.
Further, he said, it brought to mind other “right-wing” activities.
“Right-wing groups trying to attacking, for instance – trying to attack the Martin Luther King parade in Oregon in 2010,” he said. “So, if it is a device of some kind, you know, we shouldn’t leap to conclusion about where it’s coming from.”
The identification of a specific, suspect section of society recalls the multiple times the Obama administration has identified conservatives, returning veterans or those with pro-life views as being a potential enemy.
In Boston, two explosions were heard near the finish line of the Boston Marathon and authorities said three died, so far. Another 17 were in critical condition.
The New York Post said a short time later investigators identified – and took into custody – a suspect. Described as a Saudi Arabian national, officials said the 20-year-old suspect was under guard at an undisclosed Boston hospital.
