This "bomber" situation should teach us a lesson as a nation. For 48 hours, this board, my facebook feed and the fox news taking heads talked about how this had to be a democratic conspiracy because it was too obvious and the bombs didn't work. Considering the outcome, calling the left stupid, on this basis, turned out to be quite ironic.
Then the arrest. Now this board, the facebook feed and news are filled with this is a lone crazy and you cannot judge us all by his actions. That is true, it would be wrong to judge the collective by the insane acts of a lone nutjob. But I can judge you by the fact you were willingly and stupidly calling it a vast democratic conspiracy. Some still persist.
Now, I'm not singling out Republicans because the Democrats and the talking heads on the other news networks are now shrieking about how the media and Trump are to blame. This is not Trump's fault. It is not the media's fault. It is obvious that the liberals have learned not any lessons from the Republicans.
It is and always was a single nutty guy. We should learn to denounce such actions collectively and not always be looking to blame liberals or conservatives.
Right and wrong, people. Keep your eye on the ball.
But I've been told that it is just liberals who are crazy...

In your first post you put the blame on righties. The. You go one to say not to point the finger.Yup, it was my post. My point being that crazy isn't a right/left thing. It is a crazy thing. Sending "bombs" to folks doesn't represent liberal or conservative ideals. It is just wrong. Nobody supports it, but many are seeking to assign blame. A lot of the banter on here I assume is just that. We all like to stir the pot for fun. The talking heads on the news, shouldn't be pot stirring so I have to assume they are serious. Instead of talking about how to catch this guy we've engaged in a few days of trying to attribute his actions to a particular political party.
No kidding.... how much BS can the media spew? Everytime I watch the news it's anti-Trump rhetoric.... and most of it is pettyIf you are, it's because they have had a gutful of the protesters and the Senators at the Kavanaugh hearing, the treatment of Republican politcians while in public, the constant attacks on Trump by Hollywood, the tv talking heads, Dem politicians, etc. It is called pushback, and you all have been asking for just that. I hope you're happy. It was only a matter of time before some person fought back.
It is unprofessional. So are the questions to Trump asking him if he’s responsible.Lou Dobbs of Fox Business was pushing the "false flag" narrative hard on Twitter yesterday. It's very unprofessional and it shows what is really important to him is political partisanship - not journalism or getting the facts first.
Simply shows how polarized the country has become. It's unfortunate.Yup, it was my post. My point being that crazy isn't a right/left thing. It is a crazy thing.

I agree. he was making bomb threats as far back as 2002. Trump did not push this guy over the edge.Been out of the loop, sitting in meetings. This guy sure seems like a fringe lunatic. Both sides have them. Just takes a push. That said, can't see how Trump could be considered at all responsible. I think he should strongly condemn it, but apologize? No.
Don’t get me going on personal accountability. You are dead on man. I can’t stand it when people try to blame others for their own actions and I’m doing everything I can to teach my sons to accept responsibility for their actions. That’s the very reason our society has become so litigious.Well you know because of Trump he did a.l of this. There is no personal accountability in todays weak society. Everyone else is to blame. Like this situation. The guy is a so called Trump supporter, well that means its Trumps fault. Not the person who actually did it. Everything bad in the world is Trumps fault now.
