"Acted Alone" Really?

The people directly responsible for the bombings in Boston are either dead, in the case of the older bomber, or shot all to hell and in custody, in the case of the younger bomber.  (I don’t particularly like giving these people the publicity they want by naming them).  So, is it over?  With the death of one, and the arrest of the other brother, is this case pretty much closed?  If they acted alone and absent outside coaching or influence, yes.  If not … no.  It is most certainly not over.
So there we have the Mayor of Boston yesterday telling America that these two bombers acted alone.  That’s it.  It’s over.  We killed on, the other is in custody.  Case closed.  Nobody else was involved  We have them, and there’s nothing  more to see here.
Here’s an oddity for you to consider.  When there is a violent incident; a mass shooting, a bombing, a political assassination; the media seems to be instantly posed to blame it on right wingers.  This happened all the way back with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I lived in Texas at the time, and immediately the national media was blaming right wing elements for Kennedy’s death.  In some areas of the country offices of right wing organizations such as The John Birch Society were being vandalized.  In California cars with Texas license plates were being vandalized as well.  Then … well what do you know? … the assassin turned out to be a communist?  Don’t you just hate it when that happens?

• The man show shot Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and killed several people?  That was Sarah Palin’s fault, you know.   In no time at all DailyKos and Think Progress, left wing websites, were blaming this on Palin because she posted a map “targeting” certain congressmen for defeat in the upcoming election.  It was shown that the “targets” she used on that map were really surveyors marks obtained from the Internet – marks used to indicate geographic locations, like congressional districts – but to the left they were telescopic sights – Palin’s message that these people needed to be shot.  The shooter turned out to be a complete lunatic with no discernable political leanings.
• The man who killed those folks in the Aurora, Colorado theater?  In no time at all he was identified as a Tea Party member because Brian Ross at ABC, operating under an assumption that the shooter simply must be a conservative, found a Colorado Tea Party member with the same (quite common) name.

            This is common behavior for the left and the 0bamaMedia.  There’s been an act of violence.  Blame the right.  After the Boston bombings CNN’s Wolf Blitzer was saying that due to the fact it was Patriot’s Day, and Tax Day, perhaps anti-government right wing groups are to blame.  Looney old Chris Matthews was also blaming the right, saying that normally domestic terrorism comes from the right.  We had a Salon Magazine columnist begging for the bombes to be white males.   CNN had a so-called counter-terrorism expert on the air who said that pressure cooker bombs were a signature of the right wing, though there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever for that statement.  MSNBC puts a Harvard Professor on the air to suggest that the “far right” might be responsible.  An NPR “journalist” said that the attack could have been right-wingers celebrating Columbine or Hitler’s birthday.  Can you believe this stuff?  Well, believe it.  It’s the normal course of conduct after an incident such as this … right up until the time when it’s discovered that the perps aren’t right-wingers, as is normally the case.
So then did you see the Mayor of Boston yesterday?  After the identity and political and religious leanings fo the bombers became known the whole incident suddenly morphed from being caused by some evil right-wing political movement to two men out on their own..Sure enough the Boston mayor, a Democrat (of course) was telling America that the bombers acted alone.  It was just them.  Case pretty much closed.
The needs of political correctness dictate the “acted alone” conclusion.  If government, particularly the Feds and Homeland Security, do not use the “acted alone” approach then the follow-up question will naturally be: “Well, what are you doing to find out who was involved with the bombers?  Who influenced them?  What happened on that trip to Russia?  What about the Mosques the brothers attended?  Are there other known radicals involved with that Mosque?  Have known radicals who could have had influence on the members visited Mosque?   You cannot address these questions without focusing on Muslims – on the wonderful, serene, peaceful, loving religion of Islam.  And of course as soon as you start focusing on Muslims, on Mosques, and on the associates of the two bombing brothers --- you’re then engaging in the hideous, horrible practice of profiling!  OMG!  It might even be racial profiling!  After all, the vast majority of Muslim radicals are from the Middle East!
Of course as long as you think that right wing militias committed some heinous act, or the Tea (Taxed Enough Already) Party or white supremacists – you can blame groups and movements and investigate to your heart’s content.  After all … these people are perceived as predominantly white, and to make things worse, they’re largely believed to be white (ugh) males!  But if a protected religious or racial minority might have been involved … be careful!  You don’t want to profile!
