Probably many muslims feel the same way.
I'm conservative so I'm part of this I guess. Half of the country leans to the right and we were all in on this.

Yeah, either Al Qaeda or someone with a link to the Internet.
Guessing does no good, just let the investigation take place.

Not at all. We're willing to do anything that we can do to catch them or kill them.
That's quite a contrast to the muslims who dance in the streets when civilians are killed. And who won't lift a finger to help us bring the perpetrators to justice.

huh? are you not aware that the governments of Saudi, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan and others are working with the US to break islamic terrorism?
Granted, half the Pakistani gov't is working against the US, but I don't think you are giving muslims credit for trying to clean their own house.

But my point is that April has resonance among violent right wingers, and apparently right wing violence is on the rise.
It is still tiny and barely material, agreed.
You have no point at all. April has had some resonance with ONE right winger who is now dead, and NO there is no "right wing violence on the rise."
Every time you post you prove yourself an idiot.

Some aspects sound like al quaeda, but according to the top Republican on Senate Intelligence...
"While investigators don’t know the origin of the attack, initial evidence suggests a homegrown terrorist may be behind it, Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss, the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee told reporters after the panel was briefed by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
“There are a lot of things that are surrounding this that would give an indication it may have been a domestic terrorist,” Chambliss said. Still, he said officials can’t say for certain whether the attack originated in the U.S. or was the result of a plot overseas.
“We don’t have hard information,” Senator Dianne Feinstein, the committee chairman, said."

The explosive devices at Boston come right out of an Al Quada cookbook.
It is a stretch to believe that US preppers and other gun-nut whack jobs can read, but in this case I will give them the benefit of the doubt.
The worst case scenario is a US resident alien or citizen with sympathies to Al Qaeda acting alone. The reason it is the worst case scenario is because the guy is still out there and may attack again. It will also be incredibly difficult to catch him if he is not contacting anyone abroad or working with anyone else. If the perpetrator is just doing this in his garage and no one else knows, it will take a big mistake on his part for him to get caught.
A right wing nut is certainly possible, but you would think that such an attack would be accompanied or followed by some manifesto. A right wing nut would certainly not want people to think it was an attack in the name of Islam.
I am afraid it is probably the former. There is no claim of responsibility because the guy is acting alone.
Get over yourself, Bill Ayers. Nothing written on this thread or any other is outside of the possibilities that are currently being investigated, vetted, etc. by local and federal law enforcement, as well as other Black Op agencies monitoring international chatter. They have experts looking at every detail, tactic, and characteristic trait of the operation. That is their job.

Maybe "this time of year" is linked to a favorite of the left wing - April 20th"? Go smoke pot and blow shite up.
Yes, that's right, that big old mean Federal Government were big bad bullies for investigating that harmless little practice of the rape of girls by eminently righteous and holy 'religious' leaders. Definitely the child rapists and mass murdering Davidian leaders were the victims there. Absolutely.

I don't say you're way off but I don't get it. Why would a right wing nut attack Boston marathon? The Tax Day motivation or Abe Lincoln's death on April 14. eons ago are ludicrous.
So what do you base your estimations on?
There have been theories of the location of the Newtown guests, but that can be muddled by the fact that the finish is also just a crowded and visible target, so who knows.
al qaeda and would have been on youtube taking credit of this. this smells home grown.
Well, now that you mention it wrote:

Yeah, but then the government killed the kids sooooo...

agip, you're no idiot, but seriously? What you implied is disappointing, especially the manner in which you went about it. I think Precious Roy may be on to something. Why does it have to be a right-wing or left-wing "nut?" Even if either one turns out to be the case, it's a morally compromised individual all the same and a horrific act. I'll one up you and imply it was an atheist since National Atheist day also falls in April. Sounds kind of dumb.
