When, exactly, has a pressure cooker bomb with ball bearings been used by "extreme right-wing individuals" in the United States? Do most US households even own pressure cookers or have any idea of what to do with one?
AFAIK, the first reported use of this device in the US was in the 1976 Grand Central Station bomb which involved Croatian terrorists -- not exactly "extreme right-wing individuals in the United States". It sounds to me like they're tying themselves into logical pretzels to avoid stating the obvious -- that this is the work of Islamic terrorists. As IMO, the only thing missing here is a tape claiming responsibility for the bombing -- and that's presuming that news organizations haven't received a tape.
Also, this type of bomb is used pretty often in Central Asia. Certainly doesn’t indicate Tea Partiers to me...

If you can at home, you have a pressure cooker. So, if you’re conservative, you probably have one. I’ve got 2, in fact. They’re wonderful for preparing soups, stews and tough cuts of meat.
Sigh, now idiots will equate pressure cookers with extremism.
