The Left’s Top 6 Boston Bombing Lies
Posted By Mark Tapson On April 25, 2013 @ 12:50 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | 9 Comments
You have to admire how, when it comes to pushing their agendas, the American left stays relentlessly on point. Nothing stalls, much less derails, their locomotive, not even a terrorist act on our own shores. As Mad Men’s adman extraordinaire Don Draper tells his clients, “If you don’t like the conversation, change it.” The left doesn’t like the current Boston bombing conversation because it’s about Islam, their partner in an unholy alliance; so they quite simply do everything in their power to change it. How? Let us count the ways.
Blaming the right. Immediately after last week’s Boston Marathon terrorism, the mainstream news media began speculating that right-wingers were behind the blasts. And by speculating, I mean demonizing, because that was the left-leaning media’s fervent intent – to not let the crisis go to waste, to cast suspicion upon the overlapping segments of society they are hell-bent on “otherizing,” to use their own terminology: law-abiding Tea Partiers, patriots, veterans, Republicans, the NRA, white people, Christians. A CNN analyst, to name only one example, focused the discussion on “right-wing extremists.” More blatantly, Salon put its hateful bigotry on display in an article entitled, incredibly, “Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American.”
Blame the NRA. Once the ongoing investigation revealed it to be beyond dispute that the terrorists weren’t Tea Partiers, the left didn’t miss a beat. Even while the remaining fugitive was still at large, MSNBC’s attack dog Lawrence O’Donnell shamelessly blamed the National Rifle Association for hindering the investigation by having lobbied to block a taggant “that would enable tracing of the purchase of gunpowder”:
The NRA’s effort to guarantee that America’s mass murderers are the best equipped mass murderers in the world is not limited to those who use automatic weapons and high capacity magazines. The NRA is also in the business of helping bombers get away with their crimes.
O’Donnell conveniently neglected to mention that an independent scientific ruling years ago had recommended, for various reasons, against the use of taggants.
Blame Guns. Along that same line, the left kept the conversation focused on their current obsession, gun control, since the terrorists used firearms in their shootout with police. Turns out – surprise! – they weren’t licensed firearm owners. This would seem to be strong evidence that gun control laws do little if anything to hinder criminals and terrorists; but the left isn’t the party of logic, so even though the terrorists used bombs to wreak their havoc, the left made it about guns: “Why does America lose its head over ‘terror’ but ignore its daily gun deaths?” the left-wing Guardian asks (note the scare quotes around “terror”). “US gun law bigger threat than terrorists,” claimed another editorial. “Terror in Boston: It’s About Guns, Not Bombs,” blathered a leftist professor at University of North Carolina.
Islam is Innocent. Another tack the left used is to claim simply that Islam is an irrelevant factor. The Atlantic posed this defiantly moronic question: “The Boston Bombers Were Muslim: So?” Chris Matthews, MSNBC’s longest-running embarrassment, actually said “What difference does it make why they did it, if they did it?” Imagine the spit-flecked accusations this hypocrite would be hurling if the perpetrators had been Christian. Imagine the broad brush the multiculturalist left, in their all their non-judgmental tolerance, would be using to smear everyone on the right.
Melissa Harris-Perry, the race-obsessed MSNBC host who says your children don’t belong to you, took the “Islam is irrelevant” argument a step further by claiming that any attempt to point toward the terrorists’ Muslim nature is “otherizing” them: “Given that they’re Chechen, given that they are literally Caucasian, our very sense of connection to them is this framed up notion of, like, Islam making them into something that is non-white,” she said inarticulately. What she’s getting at is that white Americans want to distance themselves from the terrorists by labeling them – framing them, as she puts it – as “something that is non-white,” hence Islam. First of all, Islam is not a race. Second, the only Americans who give a damn what color terrorists are are the left, because they want them to be white. Third, denial that the terrorists were carrying out violent jihad is simply a lie.
The terrorists are the victims. These kids weren’t radicalized by Islam and al Qaeda, this theory goes. They placed bombs that killed women and children because they couldn’t fit in, because they felt alienated from our racist, Islamophobic society. “To understand the Boston bombers,” mused a self-hating coward at Slate, “we need also to understand and be honest about ourselves, the ways in which we both take in and don’t take in people from other countries, the trickier side of the American dream.” “Expecting hospitality,” sympathized an American University professor, “they felt alienated and disillusioned, even with all of the opportunities and privileges available to them as citizens of this country.” Those poor terrorists. If only eight-year-old Martin Richard had made these privileged immigrants from war-torn Chechnya feel more welcome, perhaps they wouldn’t have blown him and others to smithereens.
We are the real terrorists. The reprehensible filmmaker Michael Moore tweeted that, because the terrorists turned out to be American citizens, “the rest of the world is safe now,” steering the conversation away from jihad’s central responsibility in worldwide terrorism and toward the suggestion that America is the world’s true terrorist. This echoes the very accusation leveled at us by our most hateful enemies, so Moore has once again proudly shown where his allegiance lies.
Like 9/11, the Beltway Snipers, the Ft. Hood massacre, the Little Rock recruiting center murder, and the dozens and dozens of failed or thwarted plots on American soil, the Boston bombing (and subsequent murder of a police officer) is about Islam. It’s about two radicalized Muslim-Americans, instructed by al Qaeda online, and probably assisted by co-conspirators. But the left is making it about gun control, about NRA obstructionism, about America herself alienating immigrants, about whites “otherizing” Muslim innocents, about any message that furthers their nihilistic agendas, because the left knows how to never lose control of the narrative – a lesson the right would do well to absorb and emulate.

The lack of common sense and leadership in this country is astounding.
The left has come a long way (in the wrong direction) since 9/11. That was the last time everyone in this country, left or right, seemed to be bonded together against a common enemy. Now, even an event as visually stunning and horrific as the Boston Marathon bombing has only served to drive the two camps even further apart. The irony that Barack Obama ran as the”Great Uniter,” (”no red states, no blue states, only purple states”) is lost on the liberal establishment.
All discussions of liberalism are frustrating because all of liberalism is contradictory. A good liberal can hold many contradictory thoughts in its ‘mind’ at the same time. Normal people can’t think that way.
We have caught the authorities in another string of lies, but that's not a first in this investigation. Listening carefully to yesterday's overly detailed accounts of precision SWAT team tactics, intense firefights and the shameful lockdown of Boston in a virtual state of martial law. It would make any Bolshevik proud; the American people have smelled an enormous rat. It wasn't until still images of a naked man being taken into custody two nights ago were confirmed by this very high quality video that we understood why.
Look at the video. Beyond a reasonable doubt, his jihadi parents and a lucid Uncle all identify this person as Tamerlan.
To ignore the possibility of a conspiracy would be condoning a series of lies. If you watched news reports all last week and observed the behavior of the Police Chief, the FBI and the official spokesperson;it was apparent these folks were not offering candid information to the public. They only spoke to the nation to mislead.
When they finally did ask the public for assistance, they begged the American people to ignore other suspects and only focus on one set of suspicious men. We just discovered that the FBI had files on both men. Obviously, the Regime knew who these people were and the FBI didn't need anyone to finger them. The truth of the matter shows they were desperate to shift the focus away from an army of interlopers the public had identified as para-military operators.
This circus was conducted as a confusing three ring affair. The FBI cancelled press conferences four separate times, because they were forced to respond to everyday American's that were discovering the unsettling truth. Examination of cellphone pictures and published photographs from the internet supported allegations of a far flung conspiracy. The FBI had to adapt and amend their story line to take into account the discovery of several sets of conspirators lurking on, or about the finish line.
The people of this country forced leadership to explain away the presence of several groups of men wearing military fatigues, wearing identical black backpacks and talking into hidden microphones. We soon discovered that the Mass. Army Guard Bomb Disposal Unit was running an 'mock' operation during the Marathon. Of course, now that citizens discovered this exercise, the Regime admitted sheepishly that this expert bomb unit was indeed on the scene. We're supposed to buy their story that these bomb experts were only conducting an exercise with mock explosives. It gets worse.
Mock explosives sound real familiar to anyone following the dozens of FBI sting operations that the Regime has conducted to weed out domestic 'lone wolf' moslem terrorists which, turn out to be radicalized moslems BTW. Reports that phony amputees were also present on the scene to create more horrific carnage have also been confirmed by the professional amputee actors themselves. They're used by the Army to make training exercises appear more realistic. I don't think it would be hard to convince the 30-40 citizen's that actually lost a limb in this 'exercise' that their experience was unrealistic?
The incestuous relationship that exists between the media and our elected officials is nothing short of parasitism. The un-official, off the record tips given to the media were leaked in order to distract the public from continuing the search for the truth behind the bombing. Three times media lapdogs faithfully trotted out the most recent official claim of the bomber's capture.
Film was suddenly shown of police vehicles delivering a 'suspect' to the Boston Courthouse. A press conference was called and the supportive media pimps primed their audiences for an announcement that a 'white male' was in custody. CNN & MSNBC was all fired up in a self righteous lather.
However, it was soon apparent the FBI was caught in a web of lies. They had to clear out the courthouse and hide themselves away from the public and thousands prying eyes. Of course, they turned to their tried and true favorite deploying a 'Weapon of Mass Deception' and utilized the ensuing panic created by a bomb threat to cordon off and remove reporters, photographers and the general public from the courthouse.
The whole Boston charade reached critical mass with the on the record reports of the final manhunt for the Brothers Tsarnaev. Clearly, a healthy Tamerlan was taken into custody. It couldn't be anyone else. He's actually smiling for the cameras, because he thinks he's a hero. His name might soon be cleared by his Boston FBI handlers. Whatever else happened in Watertown, this man was walking upright and was breathing. I also think the American people will demand yet another explanation. Do pigs fly, Mr. President?
It’s time to turn up the heat on the state of Massachusetts for financing these two through its welfare system.

They had an unarmed, scared, wounded teenage boy totally surrounded by the top crack paramilitary police.
The FBI, DHS, ATF, Local Police, State Troopers and even University Police had their weapons trained on the punk.
They were equipped with state-of-the art military assault rifles, armored vehicles, urban tanks, Blackhawk helicopters equipped with FLIR technology.
(These numerous shock troops are some of the highest paid people in the nation with lifelong pensions after remarkably short careers. No expense is spared on these people - to the point where they bankrupt communities.)
Then the inept, wounded, stupid pothead boy just got into a car and drove away and they could not find him...
That's when the comedy turned into a tragedy.
The trigger-happy, incompetent lawmen and professional donut-munchers force marched innocent citizens from their homes at the point of a gun.
This nonsense finally stopped when: A CITIZEN found him. Outside of the perimeter established by the idiot police forces.
But it still wasn't over.
The trigger-happy lawmen shot up half the neighborhood - with high powered assault rifles. In a neighborhood of WOODEN homes, where an AR-15 round could go through several houses. The scared little soldiers thought that they had been shot at by the mean terrorists, so shot up private property unnecessarily when all they had to do was grab the punk they let get away in the first place.
The boy did not even have a gun.
(The US press is not revealing this little fact.)
Hundreds, if not thousands of heavily armed paramilitary police chasing one stupid unarmed boy and this is what they have to show us?
Disgraceful.
"Which way did he go, which way did he go?"
Phony amputee actors? Seek help, dude, please.
Why stop counting. They’ll keep coming up with new ones.
