SPOKANE, Wash. — A man with extensive ties to white supremacists pleaded guilty Wednesday to federal charges he planted a bomb that was intended to hurl poison-laced shrapnel into the multicultural crowd marching in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade last January.

Kevin Harpham, 37, reached a deal with federal prosecutors for a recommended sentencing range of 27 to 32 years in prison just days before his trial was to begin in U.S. District Court.

The pipe bomb was loaded with lead fishing weights coated in rat poison, which can inhibit blood clotting in wounds, officials have said.

5. And the Associated Press STILL can't say the word "TERRORIST"

It's like it vanished from their dictionary or something...

6. Hardly a peep about this. Imagine if this white supremecist was a muslim? This story would be

on a constant non-stop loop, around the clock and every Republican would know every single detail about this case.

It's pretty pathetic that stories about right wing extremism is practically overlooked by the media.
