"The explanation could be that easy."
It could be even easier. Addressing the anthrax to the Democrats makes it more plausible that a "right-wing crazy" was responsible for the attack. Thus providing a degree of cover and serving one major objective of terrorism: to divide the target against itself.
Addressing the anthrax to the Democrats makes it more plausible that a "right-wing crazy" was responsible To think of that requires a degree of sophistication about American politics that I think is negated by the attack on American Media. Like Jim Noble (see Post #10) I think that attack points to a guy who is 'lost in space' as far as understanding American culture is concerned. That's a guy who saw that sign, and thought he was attacking the American Media, or at least some big power in it. That's a clueless foreigner at work. Somebody like that would not understand our politics well enough to know right-wing from Shinola. Besides, didn't Fox News get one of those envelopes? The New York Post did as well. In fact the selection of the Post (as opposed to the Times) is another indicator that the guy didn't know what he was doing. He just saw a row of newsstands and picked one. |
