| #10 Thank you, Mitch. The key, I think, is a large crowd gathered that could be easily mown down. The bomb found at the Atlanta Olympics was neither a race nor a parade, but there were lots of innocent people available for explosion-fodder nonetheless. |

| #9 That was the MLK Day march. The bomb methods don't sound particularly similar, that guy was lifting from the Palestinian playbook, not the Afghani playbook. Also, not a race. |

| #8 they found a bomb in a back pack in Spokane,WA a while back, it was in place for another running race held there; Bloomsday. Do you have a link for that, 746? The information would be useful for understanding what's happening in this country. Especially if your bomb turned out to be TATP (Mother of Satan) on of the Al Qaeda favourites, as has been suggested for the Boston Marathon bombs -- yours could be another datum pointing to a connection between white racists and jihadis, as has been documented elsewhere. Thanking you in advance, trailing wife |

| #6 Chris Matthews is a terrorist. Terrorists use violence to achieve their political goals. That is exactly what Matthews is doing. The twist is that he doesn't make his own violence, but that doesn't change what he is. Minutes after the explosions, before anyone knew anything, he was blaming the right. It was a calculated move to score political points by exploiting violence. We have a word for people who do that--terrorists. |

| #5 Initial blame on racist whites has been SOP since at least the Duke Lacrosse deal. I still remember the airplane suicide, wisconsin labor union occupy, the cheering on of the cop killer, the spiking of trees by enviro groups. Perhaps this would be more palatable if Kermit the Prog had attacked the runners with a pair of snippits. 105% of his targets died. |

| #4 Whew that was a close one Chris. You and your overlords almost had to start covering the Philly abortion trial. |

| #2 You mean like the occupy riots? Or the now ultra-religious aurora shooter? Because a culture which respects compitition and achievement would destroy something which epitimizes those values. You know, I think the only difference between the phelps' and this grief monger is that the phelps jerks at least have the balls to go face to face with the greiving instead of hiding behind a camera and a spatula of make-up. |

| #1 Chris Mathews should be afraid of the right. If the left continues to promote policies that allow murderers foreign and domestic, to kill and maim defenseless innocent people sooner or later Chris Mathews and the left will not escape accountability from the right for the carnage they are responsible for. |
