Glenn Beck has spent lots of time in recent days alleging that the Boston Marathon bombing was carried out by a conspiracy that revolved around a shadowy Saudi national questioned by police in a Boston hospital in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy.

He says he does, unsurprisingly. On his show Wednesday morning Mr. Beck produced a document that he claimed is an official US “event report” showing that the Saudi in question is a bad, bad man who was on a no-fly list and already subject to visa revocation.

Hey, what’s the difference between Barack and Michelle’s friends Ayers and Dohrn, and the Boston terrorists. NOTHING! It is clear that Barack is comfortable with Islamic terror. Bob
Shouldn't that be:
FWOTUS?
MO visited the hospitals on Thursday, April 18. The bomb threats occurred on Wednesday, April 17.
The point of posting the dual bomb threats is to archive the info so it doesn't get lost. Thank you for compiling the timeline.
I hope Glenn kicks the brick over and exposes the disgusting wriggling politicians that are doing their “best” to bring America down!
Oh conspiracy theories, why must your breeding ground be here? Why?
