Axelrod: Obama thinks Boston bombings could be related to tax day

Weekly Standard ^

[Windy City Conservative]

In explaining why President Obama didn't call the Boston bombings a "terrorist attack," former adviser David Axelrod said, "I'm sure what was going through the president's mind is -- we really don't know who did this -- it was tax day":

"The word has taken on a different meaning since 9/11," Axelrod said of the phrase "terrorist attack."

"You use those words and it means something very specific in people's mind. And I'm sure what was going through the president's mind is -- we really don't know who did this -- it was tax day. Was it someone who was pro--you know, you just don't know. And so I think his attitude is, let's not put any inference into this, let's just make clear that we're going to get the people responsible."

Wow; how about some evidence.

But not Israeli Independence day?

Of course it is. God knows it isn’t something he or the administration has done....(s)

[vet7279]

Has the redirection begun.....

America is under siege but only the enemy is aware of it.

Axelrod and the gang SO want the bomber to be a right winger who hates taxes, they Sooo want this. Wouldn’t surprise me if they plucked some right wing guy from the crowd and planted the evidence on him.

Why not an Occupy anarchist? Remember the most prominent name at the Finish Line is Corporate Sponsor John Hancock Financial.

Of COURSE!!!! It HAD to be one of those “white guys”.

What a racist bastard.

[onona]

Can anyone be comfortable just saying “I don’t know” anymore ?

[EEGator]

I’m still betting on an attack of opportunity. There are tons of people and cameras everywhere.

[lodi90]

Maybe just a little bit of project by this pinko suggesting “terrorism” = Muslims? Ha!

[BenLurkin]

What goes through Hussein’s “mind” is doubtless constantly warped. Warped indeed.

[verga]

I think Axlerod is a mindless zombie sycophant endlessly regurgitating whatever his masters tell him to.

[Sans-Culotte]

I’m starting to hope North Korea nukes us. I’d as soon die from an attack from without as one from within.

[illiac]

I think it was done by caddies who are tired of pulling around zero’s golf bag....

[a fool in paradise]

Remember when the Austin Barking Moonbat flew a plan into the IRS building there? The Left was quick to point fingers at the Right and slow to reflect on their own extremists.

[bmwcyle]

What happened to on going investigation?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I think they could be related to Ubama wanting an excuse to impose martial law.

[Incorrigible]

Obama LIHOP!
