At the top of the hour news just a few minutes ago (10 p.m. EDT), the CNN anchor said that CNN has learned the U.S. is on alert for car bombs at East Coast airports, then moved on to general reporting about the failed car bombing of Times Square.

Nothing more.

Here is a link about this attempted bombing. It was two alert street vendors who pointed out the car to the police. One suggestion was that it was near the station to shows South Park which is accused of insulting Islam by showing Mohammed in a bear costume:

If you were a terrorist those malls and stadiums and airports must look mighty tempting. Interstate overpasses?
Schools? Prisons? Courthouses? Police Stations?

People don’t realize that “afghans” are actually members of various ethnicity.

and if you believe MSNBC and Bill Maher, the intelligence regarding airports and car bombs must be coming from RightWingChatSites...

There’s an oil spill the size of Puerto Rico floating around in the gulf which Obama took 10 days to respond to and now all of a sudden, there are all these bomb threats. We’re being manipulated.

What is WRONG with him?

The only thing 'wrong' is all the people who refused before the election to believe what was in front of their eyes - that he is an American hating, bred, born and raised muzzie, narcissistic POS -

Other than that, he's a stella guy...

I can get pissed at my neighbor and threaten to beat his ass and the law will show up and charge me with terrorist threats, but if I leave my SUV in Times Square with a bomb, nobody (Napolitano, etc.) can bring themselves to call it an act of terror.

Obama: “Don't worry folks, these aren't Muslims. Let me be clear, these are Amish Tea Partiers. We will bring them to justice.”

Can’t be the tea party people, DumBO didn’t leave them with enough money to finance such a scheme.

Brief story up at CNN:

The Transportation Security Administration on Sunday ramped up security screening at airports along the East Coast after an attempted car bombing a day earlier in New York's Times Square, a Department of Homeland Security official said.

The official told CNN the TSA has begun operations to counter potential car bombs, or "vehicle-born improvised explosive devices," as well as taking measures to prevent other kinds of terrorist acts that might occur in crowded public spaces.

That’s one thing about FNC. They don’t like working nights and weekends. Must be union.

[gasp] You mean... right wing bear hunters?

...Seriously, yes, I read that report earlier (here on FR of course). The vehicle was parked right outside Viacom's head office, Viacom being the media conglomerate which owns Comedy Central.

Owning an SUV is an act of terror, doncha know.
