Oops! Leftwing Blogosphere Forced Into Embarrassing Backtrack on Times Square Bomber ID

It appears that it wasn't only media types such as MSNBC's Contessa Brewer who were disappointed that the Times Square bombing suspect turned out to be a Muslim. They were joined by virtually the entire leftwing blogosphere in their frustration that the suspect wasn't a tea party activist or a member of a "rightwing" militia group. Before the identity of the bombing suspect was made known, Kossack "waterboard sean" conducted a poll on who the perpetrator could be. And here are the hilarious results of that poll (I am using Kossack terminology here):

An al Qaeda terrorist ---4%

An American sympathetic to al Qaeda ---5%

A militia wackjob ---30%

A teapartier ---32%

A religious wackjob ---9%

Sad faces in the MSM when the suspect was announced. It would have been jubilation if it had been a tea partier despite the impossibility of that.

FYI. Your DUFU in this story.

a**holes!!!!!

[roaddog727]

Evidence and facts are meaningless to the left.

bump

I cannot believe that Mayor Bloomy is now warning against bigoted backlashes after trying to blame white anti-Obamacare activists for the bomb attempt.

These lunatics are desperately hoping for right wing violence. It is their ONLY chance at playing and possibly winning the peaceful “civil rights” game. Without it, the game is ours.

Don’t question their patriotism!

If you wish to make a conservative angry, tell him a lie.

If you wish to make a liberal angry, tell him the truth.

Fortunately "most" Christian conservatives possess a lot of self control. Additionally, many are familiar with firearms and a large number of us have military training.

We are unlikely to lose control and go on a rampage reminiscent of the 67 riots. That means they'll have to try for a "Kristal Nacht."

Stop the presses - the leftwing loonies were wrong.

From the article... comments by the idiot named waterboard sean, one of the Kos kiddies.

"Given events, I think the outcome was interesting. Only 24 people (I can't do math, so I don't know the percentage, but it's low) said that this fellow was an American sympathetic to al Qaeda. On the other hand, more than half -- 288 -- said that the would-be bomber was a militia or tea partier guy."

Why am I not surprised that this guy can't do a simple 5th grade math problem? And perhaps that fact alone explains why he's a left wing Kool Aid drinker. A Public School graduate who had his logic functions lobotomized by the NEA propaganda machine.

So far what we know: He's a white guy. He stole someone's car...

[TexasCajun]

Not one article or post on The Daily Kos when I looked a couple of hours ago.

Not interested in Jihadis.

Jodie was great as usual.

[Soothesayer]

What if they succeed with their “Kristal Nacht” and then use it as an excuse to take away all our rights?

[Spok]

Why don’t they just say he was a tea bagger? Since when can’t they just make stuff up?

"You know, Faisal, you are a really crappy bomb maker, and your
"40 Year Old White Guy" costume only fooled real idiots..."

[ThePatriotsFlag]

... and he was a registered Democrat. Oh my.

[Grizzled Bear]

What if they succeed with their “Kristal Nacht” and then use it as an excuse to take away all our rights?

The "Kristal Nacht," or "Night of Broken Glass" would be a situation where they get their thugs all fired up to go after Christian conservatives (think Rwanda in the early nineties, Hutus slautering Tutsis, "cut the tall trees").

If they were to succeed, we would be dead.
