It Would Be Irresponsible Not To Speculate. Was Bomber A Fan Of The Beckster?

[meegbear]

You know, I don't want to jump to conclusions here, because that would make me too much like Matt Drudge. But if the car bomber was indeed a white guy in his 40s who didn't know the difference between ammonium nitrate and plain old fertilizer, I'm thinking it's gotta be a Beck Patriot who was trying to water the tree of liberty with... the blood of random Times Square tourists.

I mean, it's just their kind of logic:

Law enforcement officials offered a more detailed description of the makeup of the failed car bomb found in Times Square on Saturday night, and said they were reviewing surveillance footage that showed a white man who appeared to be in his 40s walking away from the area as he looked over his shoulder and removed a layer of clothing.

Raymond W. Kelly, the police commissioner, said the materials found in the Nissan Pathfinder — gasoline, propane, firecrackers and simple alarm clocks — also included eight bags of a granular substance, later determined to be nonexplosive grade of fertilizer, inside a 55-inch-tall metal gun locker.

The bomb, Mr. Kelly said, "would have caused casualties, a significant fireball." He added, "I don’t think we can label it at this time crude or not."

Let's see: wrong kind of fertilizer. Shut-off propane tanks. Someone who's not all that bright, or good with details? Someone who apparently modeled his bomb on those of infamous bombmaker Wile E. Coyote?

Ah, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's a Limbaugh listener.

Nachum at Free Republic thinks otherwise:

To me, it sounds like a liberal charade to take the heat off Barack and put it on the tea partiers.

Brilliant thinks someone's being framed:

They are going to hang this failed bomb on some fat, white guy who was allegedly seen at a Tea Party rally. The construction of the device was so botched it seems almost like a set up and some sad nutter was talked into driving it to Times Square. I know, you think I wear a tin foil hat to bed, but I really don’t trust our present government.

Yes, the rest of the freepers are insisting the perpetrator must be a white man who's a convert to Islam.

I swear to God, I do not Make. This. Stuff. Up. I don't have to.

1. If the license plate

was not misspelled, that would surely prove it was a liberal.

2. It almost looks like

it was someone who knew some vague details of what went into the car bomb in London and tried to duplicate it without really knowing diddly squat about how to put it all together.

Someone wanted people to think it ws an Al Qaeda attack. Who that was I have no idea.

Or it could have been someone who flunked terrorist training camp.

3. The more you read about the device the more one starts to think right wing terrorist

large gun cabinets, too stupid to use the right type of fertilizer, fire works... sure sound more like someone that watches Glen Beck than a person that reads the Koran

4. Get me a whiteboard and I can draw a direct line from shirt guy to Beck! n/t

5. Since they know full well

he was a right wing nutso, they are posting these type of messages to try to convince people otherwise. If this was supposed to be a failed attempt in the first place why in the hell would a person take the chance of having all those explosive type of material together. Even if they were just pretending, it could have went off and caused a lot of civilian deaths and causalities.

They are so damn scared that they will find out it was one of beck or Limbaugh's followers they have to start the lying and spewing early. And when they find this person I will bet he is a BECK follower and one who listens to Fox all the time. One of those vocal tea bags. If you notice he is muscular. Which means he is probably connected to a militia.
