So you have nothing to say... like "I was wrong"? Remember, you chimed in with
the usual nutty left-wing claim that it was a "teabager." You even made noise
about how it could have been some teens on a prank.

Now, all you can do is post the opinion of someone else as if it was truth.

Yet, you and mayor Bloomberg made the leap of logic that it was probably
someone form the tea party angry at Obamacare. You were shown to be idiots and
yet all you can do is run away.

 RS> That was yesterday. Today, as in the aftermath of the failed underwear

Obama tried to ignore the attack, only mentioning it once during his photo op
down in LA.

 RS> Senator John McCain, appearing on the Imus show, warned the

 RS> rights:

They didn't until he started talking and gave them a bunch of info leading to
the round up of co-conspirators in Pakistan.

 RS> "Obviously that would be a serious mistake until all the information is

 RS> when asked whether the suspect, 30-year-old Faisal Shahzad, a

The Justice Department did just what McCain advised.

 RS> Not content to be merely opposed to due process for foreigners accused

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

Like I said, reality trumps the loons on the left.
