Backpedal-palooza: Left no longer wants to speculate about bombers’ motives
Twitchy ^

Posted on 04/20/2013 5:31:06 AM PDT by chessplayer

It feels like only yesterday when lefties were falling all over themselves to determine the motivations of those responsible for the Boston Marathon bombing.

Oh, wait. It was only yesterday. Strange, then, how the tides have turned. Since learning that the suspected bombers are Chechen Muslims and not white Tea Partyers (sorry, Michael Moore), suddenly the Left is no longer interested in focusing on motive:

David Sirota @davidsirota

Our reaction to terrorism shouldnt be predicated on the demography of the terrorists. Sad that bigotry apparently obscures this simple truth

And once Diane Sawyer KNEW they were Muslims

Is she still alive? I've basically quit watching tv since the news readers are nothing but 0 bummer cheerleaders.

In a just world, Islamist apologists such as Sawyer would be forced into wearing a burka on set.

She'd also be subject to the body modification favored by Islamists.

And once Diane Sawyer KNEW they were Muslims, she interrupted a guest expert to insert that, well, yeah, but we have no way to know that their religion had anything to do with this, do we?


Once again demonstrating that most of the “talking heads” in the media are on the side of the enemies of this country. It’s no wonder that so many call them the Enemedia.

In one of Travis McGee’s pieces he has a scene where a media personality was killed. The blurb that was attached to the scope photo said “The Media Lies, The Media Dies.” I sometimes think he’s being prophetic and I hope it never comes to pass that it becomes reality. But... He could very well be correct.

The narrative of the leftists is that the war on terror is actually just a war of non-white i.e. brown people, simply because white Americans like to kill brown people. Islamo-fascist terrorism has nothing to do with it. Yes, these nitwits seriously believe that's the whole reason.

That's why you had dopes like Michael Moron exult that the terrorists were "white" therefore proving his point. Or he thought he proved some point. He didn't prove anything other than he's still a moron. The truth is the war on terror has been almost totally a war on islamo-fascists of whatever color. Like the savages who murdered the people in Boston, most Islamo-fascists have been white. Who cares? During WWII we killed a lot of white Nazis (Germans) and non-white fascists (Japanese). We don't care about the color of their skin...if they try to murder Americans, we want them dead.

I remmeber that dopey reporter asking about vililanteism, as if that would be a bad thing considering there was a terrorist on the loose. Has a citizen shot and killed the terrorist before the cops got to him, the person would be a nationaL HERO!

“My liberal friends....”

You have liberal friends? You need to start running with a better crowd.

I will admit I have a brother who is a lib. Luckily he lives about 200 miles away and I only see him for family get togethers and such. It is kinda fascinating to sit back and watch him pontificate on anything and everything. Currently doing a study on race relations in the South. But please, don't let me ask any questions. Or anybody else for that matter. Libs prefer to go on and on and not be asked for any clarification. It screws up their whole train of thought apparently. It's kinda like watching rats in a maze. Or watching weeds grow. Liberalism is most definitely a mental disease.

Well said, and, sadly, quite accurate.

This morning, the husband has been watching his daily dose of the DVR’d FAUX NEWS morning show. Our usual drill is that he watches that while I catch up on news at my computer in the next room. So I catch bits and pieces sometimes.

Seems they were all over what could have radicalized these young men who were enjoying such a good life here. I wanted to scream at them, “They are/were mohammedans, morons! No need to look for any other info.”

What amazes me is how they can be wrong about this again and again without being cautious next time.

No need to be amazed. There are so few of us who really are paying attention that they feel emboldened to keep spewing the same lies.

Since Obama publicly said that this chapter is over, everyone is encouraged to go back to the important stuff like “American Idol” and which celeb slutard is pregnant and by whom, and how great she looks in her latest trollop gown.

Very true. Chris Matthews can sit right there and lie that most terrorist attacks are carried out by right wing extremists, and no one is there to ask him for proof.

The left and the MSM have tried to sell bigger lies-this will be blamed on gun laws, talk radio and Republicans. Don’t think for an instant that the truth will deter them.

Sometimes I wonder myself why I keep them. Apart for their politically diseased minds, they are very good people.
