    All examples of angry conservative old white men eager to blame the "other", instead of considering that their own angry hateful rants might have something to do with it.

    I was watching Fox News last night and Geraldo Rivera was speaking to some dude about who could have done it, and they ran down the list of all the foreigners. Finally, at the expert said something like it could have been domestic terrorists, like illegal immigrants making a statement about immigration reform.

    Of course, given the history of conservative terrorism in the USA, the fact that "illegal aliens" would be his first alternate culprit made me almost fall out of my chair.

    But then, something happened that almost tore the fabric of time and space. Geraldo was piqued at that suggestion and said something to the effect of "we need to make sure we don't blame Hispanics without proof." My head almost exploded.

    Your glee and eagerness at blaming ay-rabs and moving it to the D&D.

    You are the very epitome of the conservative angry white guy that he described in his post. BTW, for not understanding that, you're thick too.

    where have i blamed ay-rabs for this? indeed, where have i blamed anyone?

    btw, you also seem to be somewhat geographically/ethnically confused, or perhaps you're just showing your own unconscious racism.

    Given your "post the article with one sentence and disappear" posting style, basso interpretation is an art form for which I've had plenty of practice.

    You know as well as I do that for you and your teaparty friends, everybody who worships that heathen god is an ay-rab.

    You know, you are the one who holds the power to fix that. If you didn't do the silly drive-by "article+1 sentence and disappear" postings we wouldn't have to do that. Either that, or get a blog and stop posting here.

    Basso interpretation, unfortunately, is a simple requirement of existence in the D&D. I would love it if that were not the case.

    Yeah... see if I really thought they were Arabs I would have typed Arab. The only people who pronounce it ay-rab are redneck conservative jingoists like you seem to want to emulate. The phonetic redneck spelling should have given it away to anybody with the most minimal reading comprehension skills.

    But I wouldn't want to accuse you of being intentionally obtuse in the service of being an ass. God knows that's never happened. :rolleyes:

    so, this entire dialog has been based on your projections of what you thought i meant in other threads?

    brilliant.

    basso, you don't engage in debate or discussion, so everyone is free and reasonable to project any meaning they want on anything you post.

    You don't engage in any discussion, and rarely provide any clarification.

    What he said.

    If you blurt out cryptic proclamations followed by links to hateful racist rants, and then refuse to respond when people ask you about them, it is perfectly reasonable to attempt to extrapolate whatever your twisted intentions were. The situation is of your making.

    This could very well end up being an operation carried out by some Pakistanis, it seems like most of the terrorism these days and around the world is being outsourced straight out of Pakistan, not much coming from the Arab world these days, except inside of Iraq of course which is still a war zone.

    And yes, some Pakistanis can look White so the generic description provided by LE officials does not exclude Middle Easterners or Central Asians.

    at the risk of being called a racist, i'm posting a link to a WaPo story that notes "officials" see an international link to the TS bomb.

    additional potentially racist details :

    Sources tell CBS News the last registered owner of the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder - found in Times Square Saturday night - told authorities he recently sold the vehicle to a "Middle Eastern" or "Hispanic" looking man for $1,300 cash in $100 bills on Craigslist.

    I. just. did. Any one of those works. Any of the "obama the magic negro" stuff available through the link I provided would work fine.
