Former senior Obama administration advisor David Axelrod has been silent since the Boston Marathon Bombing suspects were positively identified Friday as Muslim immigrants from Chechnya. This reticence is a stark contrast to Axelrod’s speculation earlier this week that President Obama has avoided saying the Boston Marathon bombing might be related to “Tax Day.”

Axelrod said, in conversation with MSNBC host Chuck Todd, that the words “terrorist attack” have taken on a different meaning since 9/11 when the U.S. was attacked on its own soil by Islamic extremist terrorists.

“You use those words and it means something very specific in people’s minds,” said Axelrod. “And I’m sure what was going through the president’s mind is — we really don’t know who did this.”

Wassamatter David? Cat got your tongue? Can't think of a way to blame someone else? No smart remark? This happened on your watch. You own it. Let me help you here... you did make this.

Axelgrease can find comfort in the fact that they are WHITE.

I suspect they will be portrayed at conservative muslims

Well spoken !

He’s waiting to explain how these guys are “real” muslims, being from Chechnya and having lived in the US for so long. They were ostracized, misunderstood, traumatized by the American atrocities in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq. The liberal media spin machine is just warming up.

“You use those words and it means something very specific in people’s minds,” said Axelrod. “And I’m sure what was going through the president’s mind is — we really don’t know what was going though his mind.”

he already proved to people he was a fool by opening his mouth. maybe it’s to mitigate any more proof.

[GOPJ]

Too bad we don’t have a press in this country - if we did some reporter could just friggin call him up and ask him how he feels now that he knows the killer was radical Muslim.

He’s busy lisping and muttering profanities under his thin Snidely Whiplash mustache, I’ll murder those Bible thumping, church people in their beds! Guns, without their guns. I’ve got to seize their guns away.
