Some din is being generated in other venues about my observation that the car bomb on Times Square was an attempt at right-wing domestic terrorism.
Guess what? Evidently it was.
The prime suspect is an American citizen. This bungled terrorism attempt is every bit as domestic as the Oklahoma City bombing or the Amtrak derailment in Arizona. Those acts had as much foreign links as the Times Square incident seems to have, because the culprits had supported politicians who backed trade with bad overseas regimes.
The Fox News/Facebook/Free Republic crowd keeps pointing out that the Times Square suspect is a Pakistani-American. But that's like if I had done something like this and the media blamed Germany or Ireland.
I absolutely believe this was homegrown right-wing terrorism. One hundred percent sure of it.

Domestic terrorism is still domestic terrorism

He came from Pakistan and became a citizen, therefore he is Pakistani-American (and Muslim). Your were born in America, you are American. This has nothing to do with the right or left.
ReplyDeleteI never denied that he was Pakistani-American.
ReplyDeleteIf the media won't recognize the threat from right-wing domestic terrorism, then it's a lost cause.
