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

Posted on 04/16/2013 7:24:03 AM PDT by 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."

While the left can try to make this out to be some right wing wacko the target seems all wrong. Why not go after the government on tax day if that's your thing? McVeigh went after a federal building not a group of innocents. At least not innocent in his eyes. Wouldn't some federal facility or office in Boston make more sense for some "tea-bagger?"

I don't give a rats ass if the bomb or bombs were placed as an Eagle Scout project it is a terrorist act.

You pack a bomb in a pressure cooker fill empty space with shrapnel and set it off with the intention of doing as much damage to property and people as you can, you have committed a terrorist act! It is not a debatable issue.

This is nothing more than more evidence of the failure of the current administration. It started as a failure and it is rapidly sliding into the history books as the least competent President that has ever held office.

extremely subtle way to try to focus blame on the T.E.A. party, IMHO.

“They’re all liberals! That’s why they’re in Boston and that’s why I hate them! This was a real Boston “tea party”! Kick Massachussetts out of the Union and make it form its own couuuuuuntrreeeeee! NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hyperventilate. Froth at mouth. Grimace ‘til I bust a vein.”

That’s how they’ll profile him. But I suspect they’ll be dragged kicking and screaming to the realization that it was the Amish again.

Of course its related to tax day This is a result of all of his miss-directed tax dollars going to hut down Obama’s political enemies rather than the very real international enemies of America.

When Obama has the DHS label & watch the TEA party as if they are terrorist, that same DHS resources are not being used to watch Islamic Terrorist the proven and believable threat.

Twits who tweet on twitter. One guy tweeted “I can’t help but think Sarah Palin had something to do with the Boston bombings.”

HEY Steny here is a 2010 article from CNN on Jihadi tactics now ask your boy Barack why big sis wasn’t on the look out for PRessure cookers?????

http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/10/12/mideast.jihadi.magazine/index.html

From the article:

An idea in the first edition, “Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom,” is touched on again.

“The pressurized cooker should be placed in crowded areas and left to blow up. More than one of these could be planted to explode at the same time. However, keep in mind that the range of the shrapnel in this operation is short range so the pressurized cooker or pipe should be placed close to the intended targets and should not be concealed from them by barriers such as walls.”

OBAMA TO MSM: Quick lets talk about guns and gays...

First off right wing militias would most likely target government buildings or government property not civilians... A lone wolf like the Olympics bomber or Ted Kuzinski type mabye ... but this has all the markings of Al-Qaeda inspired terror attack, so count on Obama and the Rats to continue to deflect and distract and direct their minions in the MSM to return attention to Guns and Gays....

I think the only safe thing to do is for Bammy and his axelface to arrest everyone in America who does not want to pay more taxes. They can arrest a white Christian Vet who loves babies and who does not like to pay taxes and who is pro constitution six times! It’s the only way we will be secure.

There are two possibilities here: Obama is a fool, or Axelrod is a liar. However, the two are not mutually exclusive.

It is an amazing situation. Americans are hated by their own government. Hated more than the people who want to kill all of us.

Never in my life did I think I would see a day like this.

I have been flying the American flag on the front of my house for 10 years. I took it down last month and it’s not going back up. Disgusting. Our government is fit for a sewage pipe.

Your flag symbolizes your country, not the government.

I beseech thee, please return it to its rightful place of honor.

I just can’t stomach it. My house is nearly 85 years old. People saw the depression and WWII while living in this house.

But they never saw Scum like this running our country and people into the dirt, pissing on them. This is no longer the United States.

Then you have more faith in the American people than I do. We are becoming a society of people who want the government to take care of their every need. Sure, there are those of us who just want to be left alone but as evidenced by the last election, we are becoming outnumbered.

This is an embarrassing failure by all accounts. I’m sickened by the back patting going on talking about how great they system is Boston. Obviously, not. The first responders get credit but a town run by liberals can’t handle situations like this just like the current administration can’t handle domestic or foreign affairs.

Half the country wants the government in their lives taking care of them and they don’t realize what a failure it is. As long as they get free stuff. They think the government and more specifically Obama, is doing everything they can to help them. Sheep.
