Of course, the MSM and DemLeft politicians bent over backwards to avoid the “muslim” term, even though it’s clearly another act of terrorism on the part of a practitioner of Islam.
CNN’s Kiran Chetry and Jim Acosta empathized with the mutherfucker because his ‘house had been foreclosed’: http://townhall.com/blog/g/9323ae73-57c5-49dd-ae20-be8afaa3c15f
Millions of folks have lost their homes due to foreclosure, but none of them decided to drive a 4 ton bomb into Times Square and blow people up because of it. But that won’t stop assclowns like Acosta from making excuses, especially when the perpetrator is a jihad water boy.
Michael Bloomberg opens his piehole and more crap comes out:
“If I had to guess 25 cents, this would be exactly that. Homegrown, or maybe a mentally deranged person, or somebody with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”

Crissy Matthews and his guests were on a tear.
Chris Matthews, on Tuesday’s Hardball, brought on two former CIA officials to discuss the latest terror attack, and the MSNBC host agreed with Tyler Drumheller that the most recent attacker was motivated by his house being foreclosed on and also agreed with Robert Baer who feared another attack could lead to “the Tea Party being strengthened,”

As was MSNBC’s Contessa Brewer, who vented her spleen at the fact it was *GASP* yet another muslim terrorist, instead of the white, male Tea Party patriot the Left so desperately wanted.
I mean the thing is that — and I get frustrated and there was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country because there are a lot of people who want to use this terrorist intent to justify writing off people who believe in a certain way or come from certain countries or whose skin color is a certain way. I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry.

Yeah, let’s not focus on the fact that we’re at war with a whole culture of Islamic terrorists who declared war on Western civilization and want us all dead.
And then there’s the idiots who want to downplay it, since it didn’t fit the ‘tea bagger’ narrative:
On MSNBC late Monday night, “terrorism expert” Evan Kohlman repeatedly dismissed the SUV as hardly a bomb at all claiming it only had gasoline and propane tanks and lacked explosives. Amateur hour of a failed wanna-be terrorist.

Andre Carson (D-Indiana), proclaimed that although “terrorism has an Islamic face….it really comes from racial supremacist groups” who are “the largest threats to our internal security”.

Coulda fooled me, Andre. Last I checked, the prominent terrorist groups were Hamas, Al Qaeda, Taliban, CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, Arab-American Action Network, and Jamaat ul-Fuqra. Those last four operate carte blanche within U.S. borders. Far as I know, there’s no Bubba from West Virginia in the rosters. When A.N.S.W.E.R., Code Pink, La Raza, and various other leftwing extremist groups took to the streets during George W. Bush’s tenure, calling for bloodshed and death to America, Andre’s indignation was non-existent.
They hate the Tea Party patriot movement so much they are willing to dismiss this latest terrorist attempt as ‘amatuerish’ or worse, serve as a Dhimmi sock puppet. The only thing that prevented the killing of more innocent people was an observant t-shirt vendor who alerted a police officer to the smoking vehicle. I’m glad that mechanical failure also played a part. Otherwise, dozens of people would have been killed. The leftwing media and political douchebags are salivating for some kind of violent atrocity sponsored by the opponents of Obama’s socialist regime. To their dismay, all they get is loud but peaceful protests, and election defeats which throw them out of office.
As November gets closer, expect more frothing insanity from the Left.
