It was an example. Nothing more. It could have been anyone who did this attack. My position on that has been consistent.

This action was done by someone for some reasons that made sense to them, and it would help us all to try to understand what that might be.

Admitting you don’t know something isn’t the opposite of fighting ignorance. Making a guess based on your existing biases is the opposite of fighting ignorance though.

Why not? I’m simply pointing out that just like it could be a domestic right winger, it could also be an international terrorist group. It’s not that hard a concept to follow.

I already did once upthread, but here you go again:

I have never said it couldn’t have been a domestic, Tea Party type who is responsible for this. So of course you have no cite for me saying that.

I also haven’t said it was Al Qaeda. I’ve said it _could_ be them, but that’s it.

Reading for comprehension doesn’t seem to be your strong suit, does it?
