Why not the Dems... 
they all hate anyone that serves in America's Armed Services, so they should be the ones praising this fresh act of a newly protected free speech!

Eight House Democrats were mailed a letter and photo of a Times Square recruiting station in Manhattan before it was bombed this morning, according to House insiders.
The letter did not contain any specific threats against the lawmakers or the site, but the U.S. Capitol Police and the FBI are now investigating the matter.
It was unclear which lawmakers received the letters or when, but House aides confirmed they were all Democrats.
The New York Times is reporting that the "improvised explosive device" used in the attack "was 'roughly similar”' to the devices used in two earlier bombings at foreign consulates in Manhattan in 2005 and 2007.
UPDATE: The letters and pictures went to Democrats representing New York City-based congressional districts, according to House sources. It's unclear whether Democratic Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Charles Schumer received similar letters
“Wow!” is right!
This is going to be interesting...
How about this?
A manifesto...
Guess it was to get their final OK or something eh?!
My first reaction was...why all Dems? Then I thought- how many Republicans House members are there in that area?
I wonder how many of them did anything about it.
Have authorities assured us that “This is not terrorist related.”?
Apprently- NONE OF THEM. Pre Shep on FOX- none of the NY delegates are admitting to even getting these letters.
Pretty interesting.

“two earlier bombings at foreign consulates”
Which foreign consulates?
Code Pink and/or muslims
Mexico and the UK- one was in 2005...not sure when the other one was.
Will go check for other info
Vito Fossella
Only one Congress member from NYC districts is a Republican, Vito Fassella from Staten Island. The rest are commies (no hyperbole).
Why not the Dems... they all hate anyone that serves in America's Armed Services, so they should be the ones praising this fresh act of a newly protected free speech!
This is merely a letter to Democratic lawmakers from one of their constituent groups, the angry and bitter leftist “peace” lobby.
Latest Update, 6:40 p.m. | The police said the explosive device involved in the Times Square blast this morning was “roughly similar” to the devices used in two earlier bombings at foreign consulates in Manhattan, in 2005 and 2007, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said at an afternoon news conference [video]. The device had been placed in an ammunition box like the kind that can be bought at a military supply store. Officials said that in today’s attack, a man bundled in a gray hooded jacket or sweatshirt and wearing a backpack was seen riding a bicycle around the recruiting station and acting suspiciously moments before the explosion. Video footage from a surveillance camera showed a bicyclist dismounting, approaching the recruitment center, then returning to the bike and riding away before the explosion occurs. (See related slide show.)

The authorities were looking into whether the explosion was connected to two earlier blasts that were similar in method and timing, the official said. At about 3:40 a.m. on Oct. 26, 2007, two dummy hand grenades that had been fashioned into crude bombs exploded outside the Mexican Consulate at 27 East 39th Street in Murray Hill, shattering windows. The building was not occupied and no one was hurt. At 3:55 a.m. on May 5, 2005, two crude but powerful explosive devices detonated outside the British Consulate at 845 Third Avenue in East Midtown, shattering windows and damaging a planter.

The terrorist wanted to make their leaders proud.
“Mexico and the UK”
Let me guess...some reprobate American kicked out of both of those countries, and kicked out of the Army to..or denied enlistment.
