They even sent messages to Democrats in Congress so that they get the hint that they aren't doing enough to lose the war, so vigilantes have to take direct action.

Best part is that the bombing occurred on the anniversary of a failed plot by radical Leftist terrorist group The Weathermen to kill Army officers with a bomb.

Members of that failed plot are today professors, directors of the ACLU, and acquaintances of Barack Obama.

It doesn't bother you that your candidate had no qualms associating with these people?

We are very lucky no one got hurt. Although bombing an empty recruiting station at 5am seems more like a grab for attention then a genuine attempt to hurt anyone

and don't forget about William Ayers who told people to kill their parents and was involved in the bomb making is now a Professor of Education at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Odd how 3 out of the 7 main members of that radical terrorist groups are now teachers...

You said:

They even sent messages to Democrats in Congress


Your link said:

It was unclear which lawmakers received the letters or their party affiliation



Also:

Aides to Democratic Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Charles Schumer said they were not aware of any such letters being received by their offices, but under mail-screening procedures put in place for Congress following the October 2001 anthrax attacks, it may take several weeks before such a letter actually gets to a member or senator's office. Five people died in that still unsolved attack.


Yawn.

Dr. Young described Obama and Ayers as "friends," but there's no evidence their relationship is more than the casual friendship of two men who occupy overlapping Chicago political circles and who served together on the board of a Chicago foundation.


Yawn.

In summary: There's no indication that anyone in Congress knew anything about any of this. There's no indication about which member of Congress may have received the letters (let alone their party affiliation). There is no tie-in to the Weathermen, except that this bombing happened on the anniversary of one of their bombings. There is no substantial association between Obama and the Weathermen (and, by the way, Obama was about 13 years old when the Weathermen ceased their activities).

Yes, whoever is responsible for the bombing this morning are reprehensible, vile people and deserve whatever punishment awaits them upon their arrest. But none of this has anything to do with Democrats, the Weathermen, or Obama. Your mention of them is a clear attempt at trolling, and you fail, sir.

If you want to start another thread discussing the bombing, and resist any temptation to troll by mentioning Democrats or Obama, go ahead. This thread is done.

The FBI and the NYPD are sifting through a mountain of clues, trying to determine who is responsible for Thursday's Times Square bombing.

Those clues included letters to Congress that at first read seemed to be claiming responsibility, but turned out to be "an incredibly unbelievable coincidence" according to a law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Authorities say there was in fact no connection between the letters to dozens of Congress members bearing the words, "We Did It," and the bombing of the Army recruiting station in New York.

Law officers have questioned the letter writer in the Los Angeles area and don't expect to bring any charges against him, three law enforcement officials told The Associated Press. The writer is an anti-war activist who sent as many as 100 letters%u2014including a photograph of a man standing in front of the Times Square office%u2014to Congress members.
