And I'm a "liberal", and I have never blamed a single terrorist attack on the Tea Party.

Yes the right has the Tea Party, completely non-violent with peaceful protests. Something you will never see from the left.

He was mad at a cartoon( South Park), the corporate headquarters of Comedy Central was there. Jon Stewart probably thought Glenn Beck was behind it.

To be fair, there hasn't been alot of violence coming from the Tea Party.

However, to say that there aren't right extremists who aren't violent is foolhardy.

If you get anyone in a high-tension enviornment, the likely hood for violence is high.

Don't blame an entire side for a fight breaking out between extremists. I don't categorize the entire Right by the idiots, and people shouldn't categorize the entire Left by their idiots.

Idiots come in all flavours, no matter what the political affiliation. It's that little thing called "human nature". TO say anything otherwise is pretty much wrong, and would require proof.

Absolutely. Considering the crime took place on Sunday, and now it's Tuesday and the guy is already custody, so yes, I think they deserve a heck of a lot more than comments like "he almost got away".

I never saw headlines saying "Saints almost lost the Super Bowl". I only saw the ones which stated that they had won the game.

The guy is only a member of the republican party so he could be elected mayor in NYC.
Again, please post me links that show how he is a "Lib", becuase he most certainly is not. He leans slightly left on social issues and that's it.

Stop blaming everything on The Tea Party, old tired worn out excuses, come up with something new will ya!!!!!!!!!!!! This one happens to be looking like a whacko demquack. In case you do not know, Demquacks are not immuned to being SAINTS.

Details emerge on NYC car bomb suspect
