What facts would those be? No new facts have been discovered.

He merely bowed to pressure.

Funny, really. Such a silly little man.
More blather from someone not interested in having a real conversation over the terrible events that happened today in Boston.

Just more insults and totally off topic. SS/DD

Maddow has been discussing topics such as the great outreaches done by people such as donating blood, opening their homes to people that need it, as well people offering rides and other support. She has been discussing many of the good that can be shown even in tragic events.

I guess that's looked at as a bad thing to those on the radical right,...

Yes, if only we had a real adult like W in the White House again, so he could bomb Portugal in retaliation for this.

You know this how? You believe because nothing has been made public yet that the White House hasn't been given information, how naive are you exactly?

Thank you for waiting for the facts and not jumping the gun in your statement earlier President Obama. Bill O'Reilly go to hell and take your adoring audience with you.
Coordinated acts? Yah a couple of goofs with home made pipe bombs who light the wicks at the same time and run for the hills...This was common hooliganism - I can't stand the fact that the White House ...... has allowed utterly manipulative mis-information to be seeded.....eg " A man who looked black or hand dark skin with and accent" THAT really makes me sick- people are severely injured a young child and adult are dead...and already they are trying to milk this thing for it's political juice.

I have this in the back of my mind every time I go to a sporting event or concert. Going to the Padres/Dodger game Tuesday and I wonder if they will have some special precautions.

Why not during some 4th of July event like what Boston holds at the Hatch Shell? A post Superbowl parade? Why not during today's Sox game? Why did the bombs go off at that time, vs. earlier in the day when runners were first crossing the finish line? Why that specific spot-why not take out the library or other institutions as well?

There are lots of smart students in Boston, wouldn't surprise me if one cooked up this scheme. Looks like an amateur job based on how many bombs were found vs. how many went off and the death toll is blessedly low.
It because the Boston Marathon is one of the most well known marathons around the world and draws a signficant number of runners from around the world and draws a huge crowd. Some people have speculated the bombs were designed to go off when they did becasue a large number of runners will be finjishing at that time and of course there will be many many spectators there to watch them finish. So it MAY have been designed to get a large number of casulties based on the time they went off.

Large events such as this are simply an opportunity to showcase that.
No one has taken "credit" for the bombings yet. Don't the political types usually announce that they've done it?
