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. .......

And in other news Walmart is suspending sales of pressure cookers and a popular fried chicken chain that uses a similar method of cooking is going back to open fire pits and wood fires.
The paranoia after effects of terrorism.
Why do we have a news media, if it’s going to function like this? We need journalists, not propagandists. Blaming people with no reason to do so is dangerous.
This isn’t even speculation. It is fiction born of a sick hatred of conservatives and all they stand for.
Name the specific event please, with legitimate source link, in which a supposed "right wing" terrorist has ever used such a bomb?
When the hell has any ‘right wing’ group ever used these type of devices? They have been the trademark of AQ in Afghanistan and the Times Square Bomber.
Right . . . the the whole history of Pressure Cooker bombs by Right Wingers is what? . . . C’mon . . . List them . . . where’s the list? . . . still waiting . . .
The communist media is completely out of control...they want to destroy conservatives at all costs, and will do whatever it takes to meet that goal.
If their narratives are so far off base and cause witnesses to NOT come forward for fear of being harassed or intimidated by the media itself...?
So if somebody knows something and yet won't come forward because of the media scrutiny they will receive because of ‘who’ they point out...isn't that a form of obstruction?
I have a crazy question.
Has the MSM relabeled Islamic Terrorists “right wing extremists,” in an effort to make statistics show most attacks are from “right wing extremists”? I saw a government chart somewhere on this site which showed the vast majority of these attacks were by “right wing extremists,” but there was no category for “Islamic or Mideast terrorists.”
..and if they want to look for a similarity, Bill Ayers used shrapnel bombs.
In this new frame, nearly all extremists could be placed on the right if any of their views diverge from the one-world, secular, anti-capitalist view.
Two more names to add to everyone's "Koko's list."
It is fiction born of a sick hatred of conservatives and all they stand for.
Actually, this is a sytematic attempt to demonize conservatives. The lie is brought forth and once it has been debunked, the truth is not brought forth.
This is called brain washing the masses. They are never told the truth.
So how many black backpacks were being carried by folks at the marathon?
The current version of the article says that the explosive mixture has also been used by domestic do-it-yourselfers. Of course, previous versions of the article may say something different.
The MSM is trying so damn hard to turn this into a right wing plot based on pure speculation.
It’s not even speculation, it’s untrue liberal propaganda!
Oooo, you beat me to it by 60 seconds. I shouldn’t have stopped to proofread!
Peter Bergen, another socialist Brit. If I was trying to infiltrate the American media with socialists I would definitely use Europe as a staging ground.
it was the saudi devils
