   This makes you sick to think about the abject poverty of a soul that would do this. I’m curious about her waiting to open it? Women usually tear the packing to shreds (sorry) opening something unexpected. Should be a lesson to us all.

   Sources tell me that New York Mayor Bloomberg called Texas Governor Perry and advised him, based on Bloomberg’s own past experience, that the prime suspect is probably a white male in his 40′s who is unhappy with the health care bill.

   In all seriousness, Liberals have an unblemished record of sending bombs through the mail in attempts to kill those with whom they disagree.

   I am reminded of this everytime I drive past the Graduate School of Business classrooms at Yale University.

   I’m curious about her opening it at all. No one “leaves” a package on your doorstep anymore. Seems a bit naieve.

   Hope she’s going to be ok. Reminds me of…

   “Special delivery, a bermb. Were you expecting one?”

   Hopefully, the lady recovers from her injuries and the authorities are able to pin this on the perp.

   IF the perpetrator is a colored person, an NBP member, or illegal, would AG Eric Holder’s blanket covering these “protected species” shield him, too?

   Both the USPS and UPS leave packages on my doorstep on a regular basis.

   Of course, we are expecting the packages and read the labels because soemtimes they get addresses wrong around here.

    Now if this bomb showed up on some Greenies front door, it would be a major front page story that would put the Obamacrat police into a full let’s round up the tea partier’s mode.

    Here is a followup to the story.

    The bomb was apparently disguised as a box of chocolates in a gift bag with a thank you note attached. The woman is apparently known in her neighborhood for performing random acts of kindness and may have assumed it was a thank you gift from one of her neighbors for something she had done.

    That is 100% correct.

    The rule of thumb is … if it is negative, then blame George W. Bush.

    If it is positive, credit Barack Hussein Obama.

    Did Obama sign a multi-trillion dollar fiscal catastrophe, leading to the collapse of the USA, turning our nation into a land of squalor, with everyone homeless and starving to death?

    Then blame it on George W. Bush.

    Did you win the Powerball Lottery?

    Did you have a baby after failing for years?

    Did you earn your PhD on you orn, hard work?]

    Did you child graduate with honors?

    Did your cancer treatments work?

    Then Credit Barack Hussein Obama.

    This is a very in teresting trend as of late: First, We have the SEIU 500 person protest tresspassing on the lawn of a Bank of America Executive, and then we have this bombing detonation attempt on an oil executive (injuring a loved one). Perhaps some evil people are testing law enforcement and the DOJ to see what they can get away with?

    And just who in the DOJ do you believe would actually invistigate, pursue, and arrest the bombers at this point?

    The people who plant bombs like these probably attend the same SEIU sponsored parties with the DOJ leadership.

    If you are conservative or white this DOJ is not going to do one thing to protect your rights or you physically. The inmates control the warden’s office and the guns.

    Great info – thanks. This graphic description is also important, just so we understand that this was no 4th of July firecracker:

    The lady’s friends say her face was instantly pelted with nails and tacks. Shrapnel blew so high, it landed on her rooftop.

    On July 11th, 2010 at 2:11 am, love2rumba said:

    This is a very interesting trend as of late:

    Neither of these are new tactics, but they also are not analogous. What the SEIU did is to use the ACORN/Project Vote/Saul Alinsky intimidation tactics of a “community organizer” and has been going on for decades. This bomb is different category a la eco-terrorism/anarchists. While it’s true that the police acted like cowards in the SEIU case, I doubt that they’re “testing law enforcement”; they’re defying it, and clearly in the case of the bomb, unless a warning was left, there was nothing to “test” in advance of the explosion.

    We need to re-circulate the PSA to NEVER open a package that you are not expecting. Call the police.

    Just because it has a UPS or Fedex label on it means absolutely nothing, (and no I won’t elaborate on why that’s true).

    Call the police.

    Wait wait hold up! I have been led to understand (via the current adminstration, the media and public education sources) and anyone affliated with “big oil” was an evil no good dirty low life. How is it that this lady could not expect to be punished for her connection with big oil? She was probably doing her random acts of kindness as a penance of sort.

    Without sarcasm, I can’t wait to find out the perp was her libtard neighbor that can’t stand knowing her yard looks prettier than his.

    The person went outside, basically opened the packaged

    The reason for this bombing surely can’t be as a result of black hate speech coming from the “radical” left, can it?

    Maybe…maybe it was really a “brotha” who was just tryin’ to “kill a cracker and his nasty white ‘ho….”

    And, has not Brother Wright said that the white man cannot truly be a friend of the black man…

    How come none of our friends on the left have made this leap of faith?

    One reason why I have a metal box for deliveries outside of my six foot high gate and a long driveway. Nobody gets to my front door unless I (and my two big German Shepherds) let them through.

    Mr. Happpy is not an oil exec, just a hard working Dad who feels better when our happy teenage daughter is safe in her tower.

    You might all want to take a look at the article on Snopes.com about bottle bombs: http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/bottlebomb.asp
    I don’t see anything to suggest that this explosion was of the type described on Snopes, but the ease of constructing the bottle bombs and the hazardous nature of the contents, as well as the violence of the explosion, make them something to be alert for.

    If we used the same template the MSM is using for this story and applied it to something like rain, the story would read:
    Water Falls From the Sky in Denver, Co!
    Scientists are still trying to determine where the water came from. Some Guy, lead scientist at the Colorado NOAA office has stated that they believe the water may be from children playing with sprinklers, but they have to do more testing to be sure.

    At my favorite website for viewing left wing insanity, I did not see Tea Partiers (and not the name they would use for them) blamed. But I did read one particular series of comments placing the blame on “right wing operatives”, and eventually of course, Carl Rove, LoL. It went as follows:

    1. “THEY WILL CALL IT CLASS WARFARE. WATCH THE MEDIA RUN WITH THIS ONE”
    2. “BINGO!”
    3. “That is probably why right wing operatives sent it in the first place.”
    4. “Precisely- environmentalists will now be called “terrists”…”
    5. “That’s the plan. Whether or not an environmentalist had anything to do with it. Smells like Rove.”

    But the majority of the comments were that while the “certainly do not condone the act” (oh sure), they can “understand the motivation”.

    Those who remember the story of the DC snipers should recall that the initial FBI profile was one of a white man in his 30s to 40s. I never once believed that and told an FBI friend that this was Islamic inspired terrorism, probably by a lone wolf. I turned out to be right.

    I suspect that this bomb attack has the fingerprints of the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) all over it. I also think that this has some disturbing aspects to it. Hezbollah is on our southern border and certainly has planted terrorists within our borders. It may be that ELF is now working with Hezbollah or members of the drug cartels who clearly understand explosives. I expect more such random bombings as the election approaches.
