Right-wing bloggers thrilled to learn terrorism suspect isn't white 
 The bloggers at National Review's The Corner can barely conceal their glee that the man arrested this morning for attempted terror is a proper foreign-born Muslim dude, and not a God-fearing white Christian. Jonah Goldberg admits as much:

When the Times Square story first broke there was a part of me that said, "Man, I hope it's not some white militia nutjob." When I saw the news this morning that it was a Pakistani, the same small part of me was relieved.

A normal human might be relieved that the person responsible for the attempted bombing is in custody. Jonah is just relieved that his prejudices against Muslims were reinforced.

Jonah excuses this response by linking to white race aficionado Robert Stacy McCain, who successfully found a liberal blogger who preemptively speculated that the attempted Times Square bombing was carried out by a "Beck Patriot." So, there you go: Definitive proof that the Liberals Started It.

Except people did not just leap to blame a white guy because they hate white guys so much. People were speculating about a white guy because New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told everyone that a white male in his 40s was the primary suspect. Mr. Kelly is not exactly Mr. Political Correctness! Just ask all the black males his NYPD keeps stopping and frisking (and arresting for marijuana possession).

So, to recap: Liberal blogger speculates on the motives of a white attacker, based on public statements by the NYPD. Muslim man is arrested. Jonah Goldberg writes a post about how liberals are not sufficiently frightened of or frightening about Muslims, and also they are "undemocratic" for pointing out that white Christians also commit crimes.

This is the single most Jonah Goldbergy part of the whole thing:

A lot of liberals seem very keen to minimize or dismiss the reality of Islamic terrorism while working devilishly hard to create a false reality that the real threat is from American citizens.

Of course, a reader had to point out to Jonah that Faisal Shahzad, the man in custody, is an American citizen. But he totally doesn't count! Because he's a Muslim American citizen who hates America.

2. Of course. their greatest fear was probably that it might have been some tea-bagger who 
 took all their hate rhetoric seriously, and decided to act on it.

That fear shows how dangerous their rhetoric is. Even THEY are afraid that someone might act on it.

4. Gotta admit
 DU sure seemed quiet and somewhat let down this morning.

Shahzad made the right-wing glad and the left-wing sad.

You aren`t supposed to say the truth at the DUmp.

6. Rethug sites are positivvely applauding this   
 as a way to attack Muslims.

The Rethugs really are not that far removed from being Nazis.

If it had been some sort of right wing person you all would have called for all political opposition to be banned or outlawed and you know it.

Oh horseshit. We read the threads. You assholes were positively giddy with anticipatory glee over it being some conservative white guy. You wrote about it like it was a done deal.

You can lie to yourselves inside the monkey cage all you want, but the zoo visitors can see you flinging shit.

Imagine that we were correct again and the DUchebags were wrong. I'm an engineer and always happy that my predictions through the use of logic, facts, and previous experience are proven correct.

It was one of their guys that blamed White males hating the HCR bill for trying this in the first place. That dumbass Bloomberg couldn't wait to blame it on us without so much as a tidbit of evidence and not one news agency calls him on it. If we had blamed ACORN for doing this to retaliate for those videos awhile back, they would still be bitching about it

On the bright side, folks are seeing through the bullshit.  I never thought that would happen in my lifetime.  The left is being laughed at and snort at in disgust.  It's quite a change.

Ironic.  Bloomberg let it slip that the left was hoping it was someone from the Tea Party.  When it was disclosed that the guy is from Pakistan, the left's disappointment was palpable every time they reported it.

During this incident I have felt my feelings for Bloomberg grow from mild annoyance to active contempt and disgust.  That big swagger on a tiny little body, what a Napolean.  That permasmirk.  He's the ultimate asshole that all of us have met at least once in our lives.  Who pulls the lever for such a jerk? 

The Weekly Standard did a priceless drawing of him.  Bloomie, shrunk down to 1/16 scale, sitting on top of a huge throne, with his legs sticking out in front of him, smirk on his face, and crown on his head.

Who's "thrilled"? Is anyone here "thrilled"? I assume you're all pretty much as I am--completely unsurprised. Unsurprised is the word.

The only thrill here, if we can call it that, is the good laugh we can have over the unbelievable idiocy of the DUers and their kind who actually believed that there was some greater--even highly likely possibility that this wasn't a jihadist.
