When the Boston Marathon terror bombs ripped through the flesh of innocent victims, killing three and maiming more than one-hundred and eighty, the American Pravda Press was quick and eager to assign blame. Scarely had the flow of blood been stemmed, and barely had the shrapnel stopped moving, when these propagandists -- acting on utterly no information whatsoever -- attempted to pin blame on the political right:

• On April 15, the New York Times Nicholas Kristof tweeted:
  
  He subsequently walked the comments back, but not before revealing his bias and predilection.

• CNN was very quick to assign a false blame. Immediately after the bombing, and during live coverage thereafter, Peter Bergen (national security analyst at CNN) blamed the attack on Domestic Right Wing operatives, without any evidence whatsoever.

• On April 16th, the Giant Spittle Fountain known as Chris Matthews spewed forth this right-of-center-blaming gem: "I was just thinking, again, it's early; it's an early situation, but going after the Kennedy Library, not something at Bunker Hill, not something from the freedom trail or anything that kind of historic, but a modern political figure of the Democratic Party," he said "Does that tell you anything?" He went on: ""Let me ask you about domestic terrorism as a category. Normally, domestic terrorists, people tend to be on the far right, well that's not a good category, just extremists, let's call them that."

• Obama Administration officials got into the act. Forest Service representative Stephanie Johnson tweeted: "I fear nutty logic goes like this … Patriots Day. April 15. Tax Day. Bad government. Boston. Tea Party. Let’s show ‘em,".

• On April 17, NPR's Dina Temple-Raston opined: "Well, officials told us that they have some promising leads though no actual smoking gun. They expect this case will take weeks, not months to solve. The thinking, as we’ve been reporting, is that this is a domestic, extremist attack. And officials are leaning that way, largely because of the timing of the attack. April is a big month for anti-government and right-wing individuals."

• One April 18, MCNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell shamefully opined that 'the NRA is in the Business of Helping Bombers Get Away With Their Crimes'

Something these quick-draw gunslingers seem to forget is that the truth will out. And it has. The truth of the matter is that the two bombers, brothers, were Chechyan Islamic Extremists. They had utterly no connection to anything politically right-of-center. One, however, did profess his love of Islam on a social media page:

And while we are on the topic of analyzing the motivations of terrorists, we have some indications of the motivations of another terrorist this week. Paul Kevin Curtis, accused of sending letters containing the deadly poisin 'ricin', posed by his bumper sticker, which states he is a Christian and a Democrat:

So, we can successfully deduce that -- for the largest two incidents of terrorism in this week, and in the case of the Boston Marathon Bombing, the first open-air bomb that is similar to what Israel must endure -- the perpetrators are not only not on the right, but in one case, appears to actually be on the left.

The American Pravda Media, who has slipped so thoroughly into a Soviet-style propaganda role, will never offer an apology to those of us on the right.

Therefore, I will forcefully wrest one out of them, using pliers if necessary, and by physical strength alone.

I accept your unoffered apology, American Pravda Press.

So the bombing wasn’t the work of conservatives out to celebrate Hitler’s birthday, after all.

Well stated, but unfortunately, in less than 10 seconds the typical liberal will think,”No, thats YOU!”

Surprisingly, no.

However, I guaren-damn-tee you that by this time next week, they will try to recast these Chechyan Islamic extremists as Tea Party NRA enthusiasts.
