CNN: Pressure Cooker Bomb 'Right-Wing' Signature
Breibart - Big Journalism ^ | 4-17-2013 | Lee Stranahan

Posted on 04/17/2013 5:47:18 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

An article published on CNN's website makes an unproven claim that pressure cooker bombs like the ones used at the Boston Marathon terror attack are a 'signature' of 'right-wing extremists.' The article was co-written by Jennifer Roland and Peter Bergen. Bergen is the CNN ananlyst made the claim that right-wing extremists could be behind the bombing less than two hours after it took place.

The article says (emphasis added) :

A senior U.S. counterterrorism investigator told CNN that pressure cooker bombs have also been a signature of extreme right-wing individuals in the United States who he said tend to revel in building homemade bombs.

This specific claim that "pressure cooker bombs have also been a signature of extreme right-wing individuals in the United States" appears to be completely unsubstantiated. Not a single example is given even in the CNN story itself of anyone other than al-Quadea using a pressure cooker bomb.

The article goes on to discuss the Olympic Park bombing by anti-abortion terrorist Erich Rudolph but those bombings were done with pipe bombs, not pressure cooker bombs. .......

Yep. The Saudi did it, Kerry met with the Sauds, they let him go. Now they can focus on spinning this to win an election, so they can ban guns, so they can enslave us.

They are presumably referring to folks who are occasionally arrested for illegal possession of homemade explosives, although I suspect you get all kinds of people being nabbed for this.

Or teenagers. We made some mighty big booms when I was a kid.

Considering that Muslims are the only ones on the planet blowing people up on a regular basis means that every kind of bomb is what they use.

Confusing at best. Let me look more.

CNN has been killing people for years. I don’t think obstruction of justice is going to phase anyone.

It makes one wonder why the media had their camera on the very spot where the first explosion occurred.

They were filming the finish line.

it does look like a 'White American'

It looks more like a white american converting to an Islamist. Note the beard.

Actually, looks have nothing to do with this. The public doesn't have enough information yet to even know 'the motive' of the bomber.

why are there no young Japanese men crashing airplanes into our aircraft carriers?

Because their government isn't sending them to do it anymore.

100% right. The news of the Saudi guy got out there before they could control the narrative. The MSM’s only reason for existing right now is so that Democrats can win elections and advance socialism.

Hmmm. Blue-jacket-guy has a beard. Black-jacket-guy does not.

Either two bombers, or some derp is just posting pics to muddy the water.

With CNN’s logic it’a a wonder they didn’t say it was the New Black Panther bunch because no black people was hurt.

I don’t think that’s correct. I thought I saw a picture where some black people were hurt.

To me, the first picture I showed in #91 (”Suspect #1?”) seemed to be two different guys, EXCEPT they both wear black (dark) jacket and khaki pants AND huge black backpacks.

Everyone seems to be overlooking the possibility that the motive of the attack was to blame the “right wingers” the same as the motive for the attempted car bombing in NYC was an attempt to blame the “right wingers”.

I have zero doubts the objective of the attack in Libya was an attempt to blame Romney and the repubs of collaborating with the terrorist.

This attack has all the earmarks of Weather Underground.

Me neither. I am definitely far right and have NEVER heard of a pressure cooker bomb!

Wars are won, or they are lost. Peter King aside, they do not go on forever.

The question is, do we choose victory or defeat?
