But not sure what this has to do with "Fundies," unless you mean Islamic extremists.

That's certainly what terrorists seek to provoke.

But toward whom would you like me to be outraged? And why?

Many people are coming home from work, or still at work.

I don't understand this thread.

Still at a very early stage...

I'd say the only united response for most who aren't looking to exploit tragedy, is "damn--NOT AGAIN!"

The RW, on the other hand decided two seconds in that it was "Muslim Terrorists" and began their usual rage, followed almost simultaneously by blaming Obama, Liberals, Hillary and immigrants in general.

ahem: Obama already being blamed for the NYC attack
