Chris Matthews states that the attacks could have been motivated by "anti tax, anti big government" feelings. Also mentioned "Taxachusetts."

Perhaps Chris should have listened to the President he admires so much and recognize this is not a time for speculation.

But if that were to happen, than Chris couldn't yell over something, and that's just not a part of his agenda.

It is a time for speculation, but not that type of speculation. We should be wondering if this was "The Covenant, the Sword, or the Arm of the Lord" (they are no longer active, just an example) or "Al Qaida" right now, or was it a group or individual in general, and not if they were Republican or Democrat. Do we expect any better from Matthews or Hannity however?

Is that really out of the realm of possibility?



I personally don't think the Boston Marathon would be targeted by someone with "anti tax" motives but right now, none of us have a good idea exactly what motivated someone to do this aside from wanting the kill people. I find speculation about the bomber's political leanings to be inappropriate.  You know, kind of like what I said earlier before someone threw a fit simply because I said it.

we'll see what kind of ground law enforcement will pick up after this, if there is indeed any more ground to be picked up.

Pretty sure that graphic pictures (ah, language) are deemed 'not o.k' for the same reason that swearing is.

I think I have support when I say that those images are important.

Apologies. Just trying to keep everyone not paying as close attention as I am in on what's going on.

Only important updates from now on.

Nobody gives a sh**t what you deem to be ok and not ok.  Go ahead, start infracting people for posting links to images of this tragedy.  It'll make you really super popular.  You're pathetic.  Infract me up to 11.  I'd welcome the points over this issue.

And when the day ends I'm sure she feels sorrow
The lonely guy I am, I like to watch her change
I've been here two days, I'll sure be here tomorrow
I'd eat her out if she were on my dinner plate
