Time Square Bomber a Democrat and Obama Donor?
Flopping Aces ^ | 05-04-10 | Mike's America

Posted on 05/04/2010 10:17:41 AM PDT by Starman417

Still tracking down that news but one thing is clear: he wasn't a Tea Partier!

There are reports that Faisal Shahzad, the failed Time Square bomber was a registered Democrat in Connecticut and may be a donor to Obama's campaign.

This comes after the Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg openly speculated that the bomber might be “somebody with a political agenda who doesn't like the health care bill or something." Coming on the heels of repeated warnings from Obama, Bill Clinton and others that Tea Parties might lead to violence it was only natural for libs to assume this attack may have been inspired by opposition to Obama. But like the other baseless charges in Obama's political repertoire, this one turned out to be false as well.

Homeland Security almost let terrorist slip away?

What's worse than the overt profiling of Tea Partiers is the sheer incompetence of the Obama Administration which nearly let Faisal Shahzad get away. While security at the JFK airport in New York City was busy patting down little old ladies, Shahzad boarded his flight to the Middle East, the plane had began to pull away from the gate and only at the last second was the suspect caught.

Sure.
He’s a hero.
Do you expect the FBI and HS to be everywhere?

Who conducted the investigation?
Who caught the guy at the airport?
Who caught his associates?

The system may have failed.
Immigration may have failed.
I’m sure that the administration has failed us at some point.

But I can’t see where any of the cops or agents failed.

Yep.
Neither of those were controlled by the cops or the FBI.

Our administration, our “system” and our policies have surely failed us.

Contessa Miller is the quintessential liberal airhead. From the following statement she made on the Stephanie Miller show, you can see on one hand that she doesn't want to jump to conclusions until she's heard all the evidence when it concerns terrorists. In the very next sentence, she passes judgement on the Michigan Militia, even though she knows nothing about them, nor any of the evidence against them.

I mean he’s accused he’s arrested you know I don’t want to convict him before it’s time to do so. He’s the guy authorities say is involved. But that being said I mean we know even in recent history you have the Haitari militia from Michigan who have plans to let’s face it create terror.

Wrapped up in one neat paragraph: the liberal agenda against this country. The media are our (the nation's) enemy.

I pulled the quote from the Flopping Aces website.

"Is there a credible cite to the reference that he was a dem and a BHO contributor?"

Not that I've found, and I've looked around. It's all "may have been" or "possible."

Our side does itself no favors by pushing unfounded rumors around. We're all delighted that the likes of MSNBC and Bloomberg have egg on their face from conjecturing Tea-Party involvement, then we go and do the same damn thing. Let's get a grip, people!

I agree. Party ID and contributions should be easy to check with the state’s Sec of State.

Donations in Federal elections are readily accessible via several online databases, such as newsmeat.com. I’ve checked— nothing obvious from this guy.

Besides, other reports say he’s in foreclosure on his home. I rather doubt he’d be spraying money around at politicians under those circumstances.

Given that this person is a Dem, donated to Obama, and tried to set off a bomb in NYC, I'd say it's somebody with a political agenda who doesn't like freedom or the United States of America.

It won’t matter what the Democrat donation files say. Bernie Madoff was a HUGE Democrat fund raiser and contributor. Hear anything about it?

You were giving the FBI and HS the credit and they weren't even on the scene until called in by NYPD.

FBI did a good job apparently.

What specifically did HS do?...he even went thru security at JFK!!!

our FBI and Homeland Security CAUGHT THIS GUY.

My understanding was that this guy was already on a plane that had pulled away from the gate.

Clearly, Homeland security failed. This guy was NOT on a no-fly list, got through security without any special screening and got past government agents staked out at the airport.

Meanwhile, 6 year old girls and feeble old ladies were being pulled aside for random screenings.

The practice of no-profiling for PC-sakes allowed a domestic terrorist to get on a plane.

Homeland security practices were a DISMAL failure in this case and should be thoroughly criticized.

I gave them credit for being part of the investigation and, at the time, I thought it was the FBI that arrested the suspect at the airport.

At the time he went through security at JFK, was there a bulletin out on this guy? Was the TSA even alerted to this guy? Every indication is NO.

In fact, they cops let the guy go as far as they could before arresting him. So they either didn’t tell the TSA or told the TSA to let him pass.

Nothing here even hints at incompetence by these agencies, but time may tell.

I'm sure they will excercise the same competence when Iran gets a nuclear weapon into the hands of terrorists.

Really?
As with the last guy, HS doesn’t always get the information it needs. Yep, they often fail but in this case, I don’t see that they had the information before or after the failed attack.

Why should this guy have received a special screening? Are you aware that they PURPOSELY let this guy get as far as he could while they monitored his phone? They LET this guy get on the plane in order to get as much information as possible.

Blame our government for these lapses, but not the cops and agents.

As in most ravings, there is no credible reference.

Put yourself in the shoes of the other passengers on this plane. The very guy who wanted thousands of Americans to die was ALLOWED on the plane with you and your children???? Then the door was closed and pulled away from the gate??

If he was indeed (as you say) allowed on the plane, then heads should roll for risking a hostage situation.

Why?
He was screened like any other passenger.
Could he have crashed a plane that was still taxi-ing (sp?) with the cockpit doors locked?

The possible gain may have been deemed to be worth the increased risk.

Look if the left could via propaganda change 911 from Islamic terrorist to evil white men (aka Bush did it)... then give it a few days and the left will change this back into being by a white male Tea Party member
