The biggest losers in the Boston bombing story...


 
One suspect dead, the other in custody, and hurting.
(Hey, he was shot and wounded.)

But the biggest losers from this entire week?

The right-wing media noise machine.

Glenn Beck and Alex Jones making up wild accusations that make them look just plain stupid.

The NY Post looking like the not-fit-for-a-birdcage-liner it is.

Nothing from Rush the Fathead yet, since he was off this week.

No idiot the biggest losers this week are the dead and the wounded, and as usual you DUmmies are just plain losers on any give day.
The way you idiots have politicized this is beyond disgusting. All week you were praying to your spirit guides or your toasters that the bombers would be tea baggers. When you found it they were Muslims you didn't have the decency to admit you were wrong.

Ohh and another thing moron, Rush was there most of the week, and he said that Bill Ayers got his start doing similar things.

25. Exactly. The parents who lost their children. The people who lost their limbs. I think they're ..

hurting a little more than any right wingers.

The only way us right wingers are hurting over this, is the grief over what happened to the victims.

18. As if no DUers had their own wildly false speculations...

Someone who "knew" it wasn't a muslim, or were willing to bet the farm it was a RW teabagger. All the obsessive speculation over what race, ethnicity, or skin color the bomber(s) were.

This OP is a little bit hypocritical.

I'd say stupid not hypocritical, but that's just me.

The DUmpmonkeys are busier than a dozen kittens in a sandbox.

The Quantess primitive hit one out of the ballpark.

I'd say we, the average citizen, are the biggest losers.  There is now a precedent to shut down all commerce and activity, and basically hide in your home until mommy makes the bad man go away. 

This was two people shutting down an entire city, imagine the chaos when coordinated attacks occur in multiple cities.  The fact that Bostonians  are celebrating like it's VE day makes it all the more humiliating.

You know, I'm kind of having difficulty understanding why we're not seeing any;

LIHOP!!!!!11!!

MIHOP!!!!1!!

Over at the DUmp?  Can anyone explain that to me??

You make an excellent point, I often say something is hypocritical when it is just downright stupid.  It is a habit I need to break.

Uh huh.

We should be angry, not celebratory.

It's discouraging this country's fallen to such depths, but I remain confident it'll change.

Hold on a minute.  The city was locked down for one day.  ONE DAY. 

Everyone worked together to bring these bastards to the surface.   That is one hell of a message to send the SOBs who are planning the next attack.

When Sweet Caroline is played at Yankee Stadium?  Dude, your attempt at divide and conquer is dead on arrival.

Celebratory that they are caught.  Anger? Perhaps you never heard of Irish Alzheimer's - we forget everything but a grudge.

I'm not attempting to divide and conquer anything, just expressing my thoughts.  I may be wrong, as I frequently am, but I just don't see this as a victory.  I see it as a an entire city brought to it's knees by the actions of two half-assed jihadis.  The message to the SOBs who are planning the next attack is that we are sheep.

  I don't think so.  Not with both caught so rapidly, and no hesitation in killing the first one.

You was directed to terrorists.

Really?  What should have been done when a MIT cop killed, another cop down (cause the cops werent in Watertown people at that time), bombs thrown out window, dead suspect with suicide belt on, other suspect disappears with God know what?

Boston stayed put and 23 hrs later its over.  

Yeah how embarrassing for us.  Meanwhile over in shithole anywhere else, citizens embrace terrorism as a way of life.  Not here, I'll keep baaaahing thanks just the same.

[formerlurker]

15 cops were taken to hospital injured from the bombs tossed at them by the way.

Rambo here only needed two shots to take them out though... Truly unbelievable.

[Dori]

  I see it as a an entire city brought to it's knees by the actions of two half-assed jihadis. 

Your not the only one who feels that way.  The talking heads on the news last night were discussing just that.  Even jihadi experts were bringing this up as a possible new front on terrorism here. 

I'm not in the camp of letting the officials off the hook.  I see this massacre in Boston as being preventable.  The FBI was warned about this guy in 2011 by another country worried about his radical ties. We have thrown billions of dollars at the war on terrorism and supposedly we have all these great ways of cross checking which didn't work because of PC garbage.  There is going to be a lot more to this story as time goes on.  We still don't know if there are others involved in actively plotting similar events.

I'm sorry...Were you describing Glen Beck or Democratic Underground? 

Because from what I saw, there were endless threads by your fellow Dolts making wild accusations that it was right wing extremists, and lamenting the fact that it might turn out to be a non-white guy who did it.

All of the fictional spirit-guides that have to work with the Dummies have a saying. It goes like this…

You can lead a horse to water, but DUmmies are the most idiotic, clueless, politicizing, uncaring, indecent, vile pieces of parasitic shit to ever exist on this planet.

[Zathras]

Hey DUmbasses, the biggest losers in all this are you. In fact anytime anything happens you DUmbasses will always be the biggest losers because that's what you are, the biggest losers on planet Earth.

What more could be done though? Im just wondering. Our FBI is limited by the law and rightly so. Beyond a certain point they can't do anything to someone who has not done anything yet. As much as these bastards disgust us, it is truly a gray area legally, until they killed. If this were changed then we can bet it would be used against any number of us for our views before it would be used on them. So no, I don't hold the FBI at fault here unless I am missing something. Did they commit some crime that was not followed up on? At any rate I agree with you that more info will come out.

I was quite shocked people actually listened to the police and stayed indoors under their blankies too.  I highly doubt our company would have closed its doors because of two people on the loose.  Really just one, because didn't the older brother die the night before?  If we had to stay locked up because ONE bad guy was on the loose, our city would be on "lock down" almost every single day.  Are we suppose to stay in our homes when an armed robber gets away and just stay holed up until the police find him?

[Ballygrl]

The biggest losers in the Boston bombing story...

Obama and Democrats for not taking the terrorism threat seriously?

Leftist ideology, who are so afraid of the tea party, that everytime an incident happens they blame it on the right then it turns out to be 1 of their own?

The American people who through their vote, stupidity and overall ignorance made these events possible by enabling the top 2 I listed?

Did CalPig's fictional spirit-guide come up with that saying?

They dropped IEDs all over multiple cities.   This isn't an armed thug of the projects, this was a terrorist and they had no idea what he strapped to his body and what he had on him to toss (grenades being one of the items).

I am more than sure you would have stayed home also and if your employer opened then they would be assholes.

My thoughts on this are, this event has shown just how far we have sunk as a civilization. We have a government that is doing everything they can do to disarm us and make it so that we need to hide in our dark houses anytime there is a bad guy out there. Maybe if they spent more time looking at what immigrants from terrorist hotbeds are doing, instead of worrying how many rounds we have in a single magazine this shit wouldn't happen as much. Maybe instead of frisking granny and autistic 8 year olds at the airport, we should focus on people who fit the description of your "typical terrorist" at the airport. I know the left will howl about racial profiling and their normal nonsense, but we need to stand up to those freaks of nature and actually allow the TSA, the FBI, CIA, and so forth to focus on actual terrorists. You know what we used to call common sense back when our country had at least a little bit of sense.
