A great headline that sums up the biased media speculation about the Times Square attempted car bomb.

New York (CNN)

egg on the msm’s face once again...they were so hoping this was a home grown white american male to pin the blame on....

You can bet the White Hut and Rahm Emanuel were hoping the same thing ... you know so they could take advantage of their perceived Angry White Tea Party crisis

We all knew that if we are a free thinking, freedom loving American, we will become targets by our leaders and the media. Soon, there will be billboards like this. TERRORIST 4

It just goes to show: Terms like “white” aren’t exactly scientific, although many people (including some people on this forum) seem to believe so. The definition changes with our culture. One of my family members - who is of European descent - is told that he looks Middle Eastern. Even Middle Easterners think he does.

Actually he is white, as are all Middle Easterners. Shave their beards and take the towel off their heads and they could be mistaken for a jew, Italian, Spaniard, or Greek just as well. Middle Eastern is considered in the causasian race. When the story broke that it was a white guy in his 40’s, that meant nothing to me.

I’m glad that they misidentified him at first. It allowed the administration to refer to him as a terrorist and his actions as terrorism. And now that language is out there. And they’re stuck with it.

It's fortunate that he isn't a Mohammedan. That might lead to religious bigotry.

Democratic Underground is VERY VERY QUIET over this whole thing. It is very instructive to visit.

This is what happens when the extreme liberal left is cornered like a rat.

Very few threads on this, and the ones they have now are very short. Previously they were also on this foolish *right wing nut case* theory; man these people have falafel, roti and tabouli all over their faces.

Had me wondering about the Kosnuts and not even one article or post on the Pak-Am terrorist at the home page.

"I tuned in the Today show this morning to see how they reported this. The lead story was that May 4 was the 40th anniversary of the Kent State shootings."

Hey, what can you say? It doesnt fit their narrative. It doesnt fit their agenda.

Oh I know their game. Those are libs behind those keyboards coming out of some of the most leftist J-schools in America. Think for a moment they are going to play it straight with the American People on this one?

MSM such as CNN/MSNBC/NPR etc. is purposely doing *downplay*. It's just too plain BIG to outright "spike".

But if the Times Square perp were a White, "gun nut" (their words) on the right type, why you would NEVER hear the end of this and Obama would be calling martial law and reporters would be combing every possible angle, flying to any state and staying in any Holiday Inn working 24/7 trying to connect it to something wider.

In the mean time, a few hours ago, PAKISTANI POLICE ARREST ISLAMOFASCIST CELL ACCOMPLICE(S) TO FAISAL BACK IN KARACHI, PAKISTAN.

Nary a peep on the US MSM for all that I can tell, with some exceptions.

After about the 5th person called me Muhommed, I shaved the beard.

Meanwhile Bloomberg seamlessly segues from blaming ObamaCare opponents to hectoring the general public against backlash against the Racket of Peace.
