[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I bet you wouldn't bother with all this grasping at straws if the terrorist turned out to be the white male tea party anti-government type you were hoping for.[/quote]

I didn't hope it would be anyone. I did hope it wouldn't be a Muslim because I was afraid of the anti-Muslim feeding frenzy we are now seeing.

But, let's turn things around. If a white, male, tea party, anti-government type had been caught, would you readily accept it? Or, would you question it? Would you agree with accusations that the actions of the culprit had meaning with regard to other white, male, tea party, anti-government types? I am pretty sure you wouldn't just sit back and agree that this action meant that the tea party, anti-government ideology had provoked the bombing.

If things were turned around, I probably wouldn't agree with alternative theories that you might offer and I might enjoy the challenge of poking holes in them. But, I wouldn't immediately rule them out. I've seen the conventional wisdom be wrong far too many times to immediately accept it.
