The lack of anyone taking credit at this point in time, plus the fact that the target was not a left-wing fave (i.e. an industrial site, condos, ect.) nor a racist/supremist fave (i.e. an MLK or gay-rights parade), nor a right-wing target such as a government building, it would point to anarchists as the primary culprit(s). Anarchists have no central leadership nor associations, and they hate everyone.

Just like Oklahoma City and Atlanta? No one claimed responsibility in those incidents. And the motives were not known until the perps were caught.

Actually the intelligence community has said that the Al Qaeda leadership has been unusually quiet since the bombing. The old saying "their silence is deafening" comes to mind.
Note to retards: The Boston Marathon is not held on April 15 every year. It is held on the third Monday in April, i.e., Patriots' Day.
No one knows anything. Why get into left / right squabbles? What is the point?
Who knows if the type is Al Qaeda, Rudolph, McVeigh, Malvo, a deranged guy like the Aurora shooter?
In any event, you all condemn the act. So what are you fighting about?
Why is the focal point on what day it is? And why do all liberals have such a hard time admitting that the primary people that do these kinds of acts worldwide are Islamic radicals. If it was because of tax day someone would have blown up a federal building, probably the IRS, duh!
Why do you liberals love Muslims that hate America, love to bomb innocent people, and are 99% responsible for all of these types or acts? Why are you liberals so hell bent on blaming this country and the citizens of it? Are you really that stupid and really that evil?

Really? You don't say. Yeah, liberals are entirely unaware that Muslims account for a huge percentage of global acts of terror. Until I just looked it up on Wikipedia, I had thought that 9/11 was the product of Mormomism.

You got the "duh" part right. Everything else is just boilerplate right-wingnut bullshit. Please crawl back under your rock now.

don't worry, agip is just a delusional nut job.
violence?? his Lord and Savior Obama has killed more more people the last 5 years overseas than were killed under the Bush administration. Obama (the Messiah) has more blood on his hands than any right wing terrorist.
but drone strikes and any death via the obama administration doesn't count as terrorism for some reason.
and what's even sadder--all this blood is on Obama and his supporters--and you can tell it DOESN'T bother them. now that's f***ed up!
The turbodouche didn't have a single argument. I'm not surprised.

In order to properly round out your wingnuttery, you need to refer to the president as Barack HUSSEIN Obama (and use all cals, like I just did, as this adds necessary emphasis). Right-wing turdballs really do see this as a knock-down argument.

The intelligent guy you answered raised two questions.
1) When liberals speculate about the perpetrators, why don't they account for the fact that the bulk of such attacks come from radical muslims?
2) Why would a right wing nut attack runners on Tax Day and not a federal building like IRS?

Your number 1 is a blatant straw man. Who are these liberals who fail to acknowledge Islam's role in terrorism? What mentally compromised folks like you lack is any sense of nuance. The fact that Muslims are notorious for terrorism doesn't automatically make them responsible for all acts of terror. This is hopelessly basic.
Your number 2 is meaningless. You might as well ask me why whoever was responsible didn't attack an airport, or a major bridge, or your Aunt Sophie in Trenton. You obviously have no grasp of why terrorists do what they do and the entire underlying psychology.

When you compare non-islamist mass killings on American soil to islamist mass killings around the world, you will certainly get a skewed picture.
Why not compare islamist mass killings in the United States to non-islamist mass killings in the United States?
Not implying that any is more or less evil than the other. But if you are trying to determine the likelihood that a particular attack in the United States was islamist, compare like with like.

Because you have 300-plus million non-muslim here versus very few (in comparision) muslim. Most muslims here are peace-abiding. The radicials are doing their work worldwide.
It's more likely that you, and the media sources you've referenced, want to point fingers at Al Qaeda.
Give it a few days champ.
Let's not pretend otherwise wrote:
McVeigh did not target civilians. He targeted a federal building and no doubt viewed the people inside as collateral damage. As evil as he was he is still a half step above muslims, who deliberately target civilians. In Boston there was no target other than civilians, which is the real finger that points to a group of people completely devoid of morals - a half step below McVeigh and a half step away from baboons: muslims.
Your hatred for Muslims has you typing out a rationalization as to why McVeigh killing children wasn't quite as bad as 9/11. I can't help but think part of Al-Qaeda's plan is to get people to think like this.
Score one more for the terrorists. Congrats.
