"He has been described as an intelligent young man with strong family ties," Bogner said.

I'm very, very, very dubious. Counting the hours before the truth comes out, starting now.....

I am counting on that as well. Remember what was said about Ratboy, John Walker Lindh in the opening hours? He was a "Normal Kid", blah, blah, blah, and then we find out that his home life was extremely liberal and his parents did a lousy job raising him.

If the boy is conservative the media will have their usual feeding frenzy and we get to be lectured again about hate crimes and intolerance. If he is liberal, he will be portrayed as the proverbial "nice kid."

[KC_Conspirator]

I believe this kid is a leftist/anarachist, whether he knows it or not. From his quote from his letter that "1% of the nation controls 99% of the wealth" I deduce that he learned that nonsense from some ultra-leftist red-diaper doper baby professor.

[Enterprise]

The FBI has profiled the possible suspect as the usual suspect, a disgruntled middle aged white male. If it turns out to be true that he is a young leftist, I can't wait for the spin. I think you are a better profiler than the FBI.

The media portray anything they deem "bad" as right-wing conservative. If this kid is a conservative, so were Hitler's brown shirts. Hitler's BS targeted, beat, bombed,propagandized, against the govt. I agree with you that these are the acts of Commie or Fascist leftists who hate capitalism and our govt.

This guy is not much of a bomb maker in my opinion. He could have stitched together three or four M80s and got a better blast that those lame 'pipe bombs' he invented. Heck I asked my grandson if four M80s in series could wreck more havoc than this "pipette bomberette". "Absolutely" was the reply. HAS to be a liberal kid. At least the conservative kid would have an acetylene/oxigen mixbomb or a fertilizer/diesel fuel bomb. You know, like other mad bombers who really wanted to inflict some pain.

He looks like a nice normal kid, so sad, but I know looks are deceiving in cases like this. Eric Rudolph looks like a nice normal guy, too and I think he is the Atlanta bomber/abortion clinic bomber. Although I can't say which is worse, abortion clinics killing the innocents or terroristic bombers. Either way, murder is murder, death is death... Thou shalt NOT!

[buffyt]

If 1% own 99% of the wealth, they probably worked their butts off to get where they are! It is easy to be bitter if you are in the bottom 5 or 10% - it is hard to get up off your butt and get to work. My momma always told me that everyone has to pull himself up by his own bootstraps, and my momma is a democrat! But an honest one and fairly conservative - if she would be honest with herself!!!! I'm working on her, but she is 75, and if she admits the democrats are wrong, then should would have to admit she has been wrong all these years. I changed to Republican party in the 1960s. NEVER looked back. I saw the Students for a "Democratic" Society at Okla State - scary bunch! Anarchists!

The homeowner found the bomb in a plastic bag and "moved it into their residence" before calling authorities, he said.

Must have been excited about receiving his Darwin Award Application Kit.....geez....
