But the black panther party doesn't have a history of violence, they are left wing extremist. How about the weather underground, they used bombs to kill people and they are left wing extremists. What about May 19th Communist Organization. How about the United Freedom Front who are another left wing extremist organization responsible for over 20 bombings. Why don't you believe any of these groups with a history of bombings commited the crime? Instead you imply it is some member of the tea party.

Where are you listened to Michael Savage? Is he on satellite radio or internet? I haven't heard him on west coast since before the election......

Logic would have an anti tax terrorist target a governmental building and not target fellow citizens. Seriously? Where does Chris get his ideas? Only a mouth breather that parrots left wing media will think it is the far right loons and not the anti American terrorists....after all they never bomb anyone or anything.

Does anyone else think this might be an attempt to manipulate the gold market, foreseeing heading into a gold back currency soon?

Even worse Chris Matthews is a very watched "news" personality and many people believe everything he puts out there.

Yep, and isn't it funny that the usual cast of characters are hurling insults for even speculating?

We'll all know the truth eventually (I hope), but all the braying here is by folks afraid someone might actually get at the truth.

I think your hypothesis (that is all it is, settle down folks) is reasonable. I came to precisely the same one yesterday. The primary weak point is that it was not a federal building bombing, to my knowledge.

One fact about Malcolm X that is often ignored is that when he made his hajj to Mecca he realized that he was praying with blond, blue-eyed Muslims. That was a life-changing experience; he overcame his hatred, and that likely caused his death. Things are far less frightening when you inform yourself instead of concocting bizarre conspiracy theories, which seems to be your main goal in life.
What does your arse kissing post to moooslims have to do with anything in this thread? I said terrorists use pressure cooker bombs. They are taught in terrorist camps. Are you saying all muslims are terrorists? That is all I'm getting out of your post. Are you some sort of islamaphobe.

Yes commonly used by terrorists. Why can't you folks admit reality??
