With tension between left-wing groups and recruiters rising it’s not hard to imagine who might be responsible for this:

An explosive device damaged a military recruiting station in Times Square early Thursday, and police blocked off the area to investigate.

The explosive device caused minor damage, and no one was injured, police said. The explosion shattered a glass entryway. …

Witnesses staying at a hotel in the area said they heard a “big bang” and could feel the building shake. A large plume of smoke was also visible after the explosion, they said.

If this does turn out to be the action of left-wing extremists I’m blaming the Democrats.  Not because I think any mainstream Democrat politician condones bombing recruiting centers, but because they’ve condoned groups like Code Pink (remember Howard Dean and Jack Murtha posing for pictures with them?  remember the Democrats giving Code Pink tickets to Bush’s inauguration so they could heckle him?) who instigate this sort of nonsense.  It’s groups like Code Pink that have been trying to run the Marines out of Berkeley.  How much of a leap is it from their accusations of “baby killer” to vandalism and bombings?

Attacks on recruiters have been escalating all over the country.  If the Democrats supported the troops as much as they claim too, they’d call off the dogs by disavowing groups like Code Pink and people who spout their kind of hateful rhetoric.
