Still tracking down that news but one thing is clear: he wasn't a Tea Partier!
There are reports that Faisal Shahzad, the failed Time Square bomber was a registered Democrat in Connecticut and may be a donor to Obama's campaign.
This comes after the Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg openly speculated that the bomber might be “somebody with a political agenda who doesn't like the health care bill or something." Coming on the heels of repeated warnings from Obama, Bill Clinton and others that Tea Parties might lead to violence it was only natural for libs to assume this attack may have been inspired by opposition to Obama. But like the other baseless charges in Obama's political repertoire, this one turned out to be false as well.
Homeland Security almost let terrorist slip away?
What's worse than the overt profiling of Tea Partiers is the sheer incompetence of the Obama Administration which nearly let Faisal Shahzad get away. While security at the JFK airport in New York City was busy patting down little old ladies, Shahzad boarded his flight to the Middle East, the plane had began to pull away from the gate and only at the last second was the suspect caught.

Can anyone verify the FACT? that the airline called in that a last minute passenger paid in cash and was suspicious to them?
Note, he was not stopped from boarding.
As a desperate man with a demonstrated willingness to kill, he could have taken a hostage. Then he could have demanded anything.
I maintain that it was a huge error if this man was knowingly allowed on the plane.
Perhaps, but he’d already proven himself incompetent...
Liberal media and then the Rat party of traitors.
