Now that Wolf Blitzer, and the rest of his team at CNN have officially reported on the two new suspects in Monday’s horrendous bombing of the Patriot’s Day Marathon in that fine city, I wish to know exactly how those, “objective,” journalists are going to account for themselves, having accused me personally of committing this heinous act? So sure were they, that some 45 to 70 year old nut job, who still remembers being taught the basics of our Constitution in that ancient experience formerly known as a decent education pulled off this bombing of their fellow citizens, that they spent most of the day Monday pointing their fingers directly at us, the people who make up the Tea Party.
So now that the real culprits have been found, and as it turns out were as far removed from Conservatism, or conservative principles as would be considered possible, what will Wolf Blitzer have written for him on his teleprompter? Will CNN square themselves with those of us that they accused of murder? I only ask because this being-accused-of-murder each and every time one of these leftist loons actually commits one of these mass Killings, is getting a wee bit old.
At the very least, acknowledge live and with the very same emphasis, that the Tea Party in particular, and those of us on the right more generally, are indeed innocent of the charges with which you have impugned our good names. Let’s see some panel discussions on how the right has not actually ever carried out one of these heinous crimes, no matter how many times you have assured America that, “this time, I just know it’s them.”
Even more maddening than the whole, half the country is guilty of being dangerous loons thing, is that these same pious idiots seem to relish in spending the other half of their time admonishing us not to jump to the Islam-terrorist conclusion. Shockingly, that once again turned out to be the case. Granted, the whole Chechnya connection is new this time, but not because the Chechans are strangers to the whole committing acts of terror in order to get your way thing. It’s new because the Chechans usually pick the former Soviets or the current Russians as their favorite targets. Take comfort that once again, Jihad was their primary motivation.
Once again, I must ask if we’re in the Vanilla Sky Universe. These events, as tragic as they are, all have a sameness to how they are covered by our media. Everyone’s first thought is Islamic Terrorism, and the media immediately admonishes us to not equate this religion of peace with terrorism, that jihad means inner struggle. With their very next breath, they lay blame on the Tea Party, Rush Limbaugh, and for good measure, Sarah Palin. Democrat Politicians take to microphones and tell us that we should be patient to await the results of the investigations, which will be relentless, and simultaneously issue statements that the real threat of domestic terrorism is in fact the plethora of right wing lunatics who are, for no real reason at all, upset with unchecked government expansion.
About a day later, the authorities figure out that not only was it not a right wing lunatic, but that indeed it was a Muslim male extremist between the ages of 17 and 47, who read the Koran and came to a different conclusion about the definition of Jihad. (Judging by the actions of those who hold a more fundamental view on Islam, Jihad means mass murder of innocent people attending leisure time activities, hopefully including small children and wheel chair bound seniors.) Missing in all of this is the Emily Litella moment, where Gilda Radner sheepishly looks into the camera and utters the phrase, “Never Mind.”

Of course, in my usual list of scapegoats, I forgot to mention this one. You guessed it, according to Mario Cuomo(D) Mars, it wasn’t jihad after all that made these peace loving Muslims snap, it was Global Warming, This should be the point in time where Darth Vader turns to us all and says, “and now the stupid is complete.”
