That's just sad.

This whole thread (at least up to the post that I'm quoting) is sad.
People so paranoid about everything and so heartless. Nah, I don't think BookLover really believes it, she probably just saw the chance to rile some people up in the face of a tragedy and decided to take it.
You know there are better ways to get off on the internet.

And so much for Homeland Security -- what a joke that is.

Well if we can blame Obama for this and Benghazi we can blame Dubya for 9/11. Obviously if Obama was president in 2001 he would of gotten the blame as well.

Do hardline Muslim groups usually not claim responsibility for attacks?

Does the absence of a announcement point more to a domestic group? That and the date?

Right now, my thoughts are out to Boston, and I hope we can all feel at least American today, and share the pain of our countrymen.

May justice be swift and appropriate

Being a native Bostonian with friends and family living there, I totally agree!

I guess time will tell. . .

I find it VERY unlikely
1) North Korea
2) Iran

Things that are stupid:
1) Obama did it (or CIA or whatever)

Bolded: Anything is possible under the sun imo.

My prayers go out to the victims.

There is no one in custody and no one of interest. Please do not pass along misinformation.

The only confirmed facts are 2 people are dead, up to 90 are injured; one of the dead is an 8 year old girl.

Nothing more.

A "home grown" anti government clown wouldn't go blow up the finish line at the Boston Marathon they'd go blow up the IRS office or some government building or what have you. This is going to be a tough spin for Obama and co to let the terrorists off the hook here. No workplace violence to insert. They already are backtracking on the story a saudi guy in custody. Probably already have him on a plane flying him back over.
