Project much? People think of right-wing extremists when they think of right-wing extremists. But don't let me interrupt you trying to make this about how people are being unfair to Republicans. Because what this tragedy really needs is a hot injection of stupid politics.

While I agree with this statement, that's best left to politicians, who are far more capable of this then we are.


Anyway, i would give anything to know what's going on with that investigation right now.

I'm not a Tea Partyist (Tea Partian? Tea Partanian?), but blaming extremists on a mainstream party is one of my pet peeves, regardless of political party. But you're right, I am projecting.

Actually, when people think of right-wing extremists, they don't generally think of the tea-party types, but the militia types, conspiracy nutters, or the anti-abortion murderers.

I'm a registered Republican. Right wing =/= Republican, no matter how hard types like you try to make us into it. Only helps feed into the disinformation when these types of assumptions on your part are made.

Never said it was. You can have left-leaning Republicans and right-leaning Democrats. The police officer at my school is clear to everyone that he is right wing and not Republican.

Yeah, keep this in mind foreigners. We have a LOT of militias. And to quote,MSH:
You've clearly never met an American militia group. There's a reason the FBI and HomeSec keep an eye on them.
I mean seriously. They are nutters.


I'm sorry, is this the american politics thread? No? Then go there.

anti-abortion murderers.
Well that's just counter productive. I mean, if the whole point of abortion is to save lives then why the hell are you ending them via murder?

Because babies are pure and innocent and pregnant women ("whores")/abortion doctors ("murderers") are sinners.

Geez, haven't you been reviewing your catechism recently?  Get on your knees and give me 20 :I

I don't think they ever actually murdered any pregnant woman, just the doctors.

No, I didn't mean it like that--just to tack on the rationale of "this is why women should not have life-saving or other kinds of abortion."

Aaaaaanyway

Bombs don't tend to be that discriminate.

I am now imagining a bomb which thinks it is better than some groups of people, and thus does not kill them.
This amuses me greatly, for some reason.

So, for some good news, this happened during the singing of The Star-Spangled Banner at the Boston Bruins game today.

On the topic of explosions: http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/18/us/texas-explosion/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
A Texas fertilizer plant exploded. There's video of the explosion, and damn. That's one hell of a boom.

Hundreds injured, 2 confirmed deaths, expected to rise dramatically. Dozens of homes damaged/leveled, and a nearby nursing home collapsed.

NBC reported cited it as a '5 block blast radius.' And apparently it could be heard up to 45 miles away.
