Various politicians and members of the media blamed the "right-wing" for the failed New York car bomb terrorist attack, now they are afraid of "racism" against Muslims.

Monday, May 3, 2010:

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY): "Whether the guy who did this, or the people who did this were with some Islamic terrorist group or whether they were some right-wing nut group or whether they were by themselves, in one sense it doesn't matter."

CNN Terrorism analyst Peter Bergen says its probable the Times Square car bomb attempt was by a "right-wing" terrorist.

MSNBC's Chris Matthews and NBC News Terrorist Analyst Roger Cressey discuss the theory of someone with a "right-wing" agenda.

Tuesday, May 4, 2010

MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan: "How do you deal with these types of crimes without resulting in racism, effectively, towards people of Pakistani or Middle Eastern descent?"

MSNBC CIA Analyst: "You're gonna see the Tea Party being, you know, being strengthened. You're going to see people blaming the White House for a situation it didn't create."

NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg: "I want to make clear that we will not tolerate any bias or backlash against Pakistani or Muslim New Yorkers."

"Backlash against those damn Tea Partiers, of course, will always be tolerated" . . . . Is probably what he thought but didn't say.

“You’re going to see people blaming the White House for a situation it didn’t create.”

Obama may not have created the situation, but he’s doing everything he can to help the muslims win their jihad against this country.

Listen in on the not-so-secret musings of the MSM:

“Oh no! It's not the tea partiers? Does that mean I have to change the script?

Thank goodness, no. I can still blame the “right-wing!”

Stupid dhimmis. Someday we will all be like the Dutch. Weak, cowed and ready to accept sharia because of a liberal death wish called multiculturalism.

They have a clear anti-American agenda and will say whatever it takes to foment dislike and distrust in core American values.

That same game of pre-accusing backlash and racism after 9-11 was absolutely infuriating and disgusting.

They're simply following the Alinsky playbook - “
Rules for Radicals” - as Rahm quotes :Never let a good crisis go to waste.” ergo:

Bomb scare - they knew from the get go that it had nothing to do with Tea Party folk - but ‘ use it.

Then after it was undeniable who did it - well, it's still usable -

Oh, and why is anyone wondering how he got on the plane without a nod - when paying cash and one way, two things that would have landed you or I in the back room, - He LOOKS Islamic, His name is Islamic - FREE PASS. wonder they didn't upgrade him to first class and serve him champagne
