Boston Marathon Bombs Have Hallmarks Of "Lone Wolf" Devices, Experts Say
http://www.cnn.com/ ^ | April 17, 2013 | Tim Lister And Paul Cruickshank, CNN

(CNN) -- The devices used in the Boston Marathon attack Monday are typical of the "lone wolf:" the solo terrorist who builds a bomb on his own by following a widely available formula. In this case, the formula seems very similar to one that al Qaeda has recommended to its supporters around the world as both crudely effective and difficult to trace. But it is also a recipe that has been adopted by extreme right-wing individuals in the United States. The threat of the "lone wolf" alarms the intelligence community.

“Lone Wolf” = Muslim terrorist but we don’t want to say that.

I find it interesting that there is an assumption that if the terrorists are domestic they must therefore be right-wing.

Except for the “two of them” thing. Getting one bomb in by yourself is hard enough.

I bet the hotline been buzzing non stop between the FBI and the whitehut.

Find a white guy, doesn’t matter if its real, CGI, drawn by Disney or Japanese anime, just get the MSM hooked on right wing terrorists.

I suspect these are the same ex-spurts that told us the attack in Bengazi was caused by a video.

This guy managed to 'set us up the bomb' TWO TIMES.

He had he'p or maybe a van, and did it several hours ~ to even days ~ earlier.

It’s going to get worse than that. Remember Rush Limbaugh was blamed for OKC bombing, and Sarah Palin’s “crosshairs” on Tuscon.

Message fm CNN - Al Qaeda = domestic terrorist.

Not a left wing domestic terrorist, a right wing terrorist.

In spite of all the evidence of the left's fondness for bombs. Including the president's political benefactor.

Sheeeyit. If they had even an iota of evidence that this outrage was committed by a right-winger, we'd know every single detail about that person by now.

It is similar to Lanza and the guy who shot Gifford and the anti-war bomb in NYC and Eric Rudolph and Tim McVeigh except none of them were right-wing.

But a bunch of right wingers wanted to do it in their heart because Rush Limbaugh told them to do it.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they never find who did it because they are probably aware that the culprit would embarrass the White House.

When you have an agenda the facts matter little. CNN/MSNBC and the like will continue to pound everything into a ‘right wing’ hole.

They blamed a video maker for Benghazi. I wonder if they’ll blame Emeril or Wolfgang for this one.

It was done after the bomb-sniffing dogs were used in the morning.

Roger that.
A pressure cooker in a backpack without looking suspicious.... maybe.

A backpack big enough for two pressure cookers... nope.

Maybe multiple trips...

I didn't click on the CNN link. I don't want to start getting all manner of homo-erotic spam and pop-up ads.

Do the bass turds offer any evidence to support this claim?
