The kind of people I’m talking about “knew” they were Muslims before they saw any pictures. When they saw the pictures, they thought “Yeah, I was right, totally Muslim looking!” That this is confirmed only solidifies the stupid. My kindest memory of GeeDubya…and they are few…was his speaking out against anti-Muslim backlash after 9/11. I have little doubt that Obama will step up to that, but, well, we all know the problems with that. Today is a good day for rectal tube-worms like Pam Geller and Eric Rush. ---

Their purported motivations aren’t necessarily at the core, their psychoses are, but there is value in trying to understand those psychoses instead of simply dismissing them. Claro? ---

The pivot from speculating about non-existant Teaparty bombers to non-existant Teaparty random muslim-beater-uppers is amazing. What’s the next move when that doesn’t happen either? Oh, wait - McVeigh! :rolleyes: ---

Don’t go looking for any sort of logical consistency from **ElvisL1ves**. You’re not going to find it. His opinion pivots around whatever cheap shot he’s trying to score at whichever of the handful of remaining board conservatives he’s attacking. ---

I’m pissed the first one died. Would’ve loved to hear his douchenozzle excuses/reasons. I’m thinking the younger brother is wearing explosives or gets the suicide by cop wish granted. I hope they get him alive. ---

I would just like to say that my initial guess was some sort of right-wing domestic terrorism. I was wrong. While I still might be right on the domestic part of it, I never would have suspected brothers of Chechan ancestry who had been in the US for a decade. But I would like to say it’s now my turn as a white guy to be racially profiled and I’m just going to have to accept it. So have at it, people of color. ---

But that’s about all the thought I want to give to a couple of pustules with legs for one day. Mental hygiene, you understand. Or maybe you don’t. I was more referring to your earlier comment about Muslims across America being in danger, and others echoing those sentiments, rather than your specific reference to Geller and Rush - I agree with your assessment of them in particular, but I don’t think that Muslims need to lock themselves away in fear of pitchfork wielding Tea Party members. ---

And it may be that I’m totally wrong, that no such reaction will occur. I’m something of a pessimist, so I really like being wrong. And if I am wrong, then the only thing they will suffer is fear. Goody. ---

> [@elucidator](#): > > And it may be that I’m totally wrong, that no such reaction will occur. I’m something of a pessimist, so I really like being wrong. And if I am wrong, then the only thing they will suffer is fear. Goody. I sincerely hope you are wrong, too. But realistically, depending on how things play out, there might well be some backlash; a standard suspicion, amongst the ignorant, of anybody different at least for awhile. Maybe even a lone nutjob or two will add this to a list of real and imagined grievances that one day sends him over the edge resulting in isolated violence. But even a pessimist can take some small consolation in the absence of mob violence, mass incarcerations or executions that such an event (or even less) can precipitate elsewhere in the world. If that’s not too low a bar. Fear is unpleasant, unfortunate and unfair. But at the same time, I do know some people who are pretty adamant that the fears they experience here in the U.S. are of an entirely different nature and magnitude than those those they lived with in their respective home countries. That’s one of the reasons they appreciate living here. When I hear a Rwandan or a Bosnian talk about fear I get a different perspective. ---
