But if you come across a site that reinforces your existing beliefs, you swallow everything it says -- hook, line, and sinker.

If it had been two crazy white guys with guns shooting up the finish line... would you still be saying that now is a time to come together? I highly doubt it.

The left didn't claim it a time to come together after Sandy Hook. It certainly wasn't ever suggested that it wasn't a left or right thing. It certainly was used as an excuse to perpetuate a freedom taking agenda.

I'll lay odds this will become a freedom taking event as well.

The first two letters in the word "Boston" are BO, same as in the word "Bomb", same as the initials of "Barack Obama". Coincidence? COINCIDENCE?

Apparently reading comprehension is not one of your strong points.
Go to twitter and read the tweets for #ericrush. It is all over the internet.

The liberals want so much for it to be that. So many were coming up with the domestic terrorists -- and of course mentioning only white males. The liberals are more dismayed that the suspect apparently isn't a white Tea Party type than they are about the deaths and injuries.
