Times Square Military Recruiting Center Bombed

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.

    If you had done as asked you would see that not many people use the word as loosely as you are.

    as loosely as you do.

    That’s a typical attitude coming from a liberal. You guys don’t like the military so for you this bomb is not particularly serious.

    I actually served so don’t try this all liberals hate the military crap.

    The military is not the conservatives personal plaything.

  • Hannitized

    Yeah. Let’s forget about this little incident.

    Nobody is saying to forget about this hystericalpants. I am simply saying that right now, it looks like felony vandalism. No?

    The recreant crowd that you and hawk commune with would be more than happy to dismiss this as nothing more than a small matter.

    I would be careful about categorizing those you know nothing about.

    That someone could have died as a result is inconsequential.

    Who said that?

    Hell, I even think firecrackers are consequential. Youre just being dippy.

    Um, Socialist, “call of the dogs” means “call off your own dogs.” I have yet to hear of a GOP officeholder speaking to any of the groups you mention–they leave that to Senator Byrd, D-KKK-WV. (unless you call the NRA those “militant gun freaks,” and that case, you’ve STILL implicated the Democrats, who also seek NRA votes)

    However, I have heard of a number of Dem candidates interacting with anti-war demonstrators like Code Pink. See the difference?

    Moreover, the ugly reality is that the anti-war left DOES do things that are criminal and even violent. Pin it to Code Pink? Maybe not yet, but the movement as a whole is involved in this sort of thing.

    Hannitized. Your words are logical. Did you read the letter-link? It appears that the bomber was trying to make a point, and it involves an attack on the USA and the defense department.

    Just like the Republicans called off the dogs when Timothy McViegh, a rightwing radical, blew up the Federal Building in Oklahomo. They called off all the skinheads, the neo-Nazis, the militant gun freaks, the KKK, the abortion clinic bombers, and all the other rightwing hate groups who always vote Republican.

    This is probably a rightwing hit job, disguised as a leftwing hit job, intended to cause political problems for the Democrats. Probably ordered by Karl Rove.

  • robert108

    Demonstrations are meant to intimidate, and are thus violent, even if they don’t directly involve physical violence. Code Pink foments violence.
    The entire concept of “demonstration” is designed to force minority views on the majority.

    You’re welcome Chief.

    I think you understood my point: that the anti-war movement is not entirely homegrown and not entirely innocent.

    Assuming Leftists have not changed their colors much since the early days of the Paris Commune, it is their MO to infiltrate, suborn, finance and direct anti-war (e.g. anti-defense) movements in all target countries, if not starting them up ab initio via Front Groups, Agents of Influence or the like.

    Again, the rank and file of the smellyhippies will have no direct knowledge of overseas influence, but would not likely object if it were revealed to them.

    For instance, observe the ubiquitous posters of such figures as Marx, Lenin, Mao and Che on T-shirts, posters, buttons, album covers and the like. These are obviously foreign enemies who have commanded vast atrocities, yet enjoy the wide support of the domestic Left visible at MoveOn.org, CodePink, Obama election headquarters and very possibly in the majority of faculty lounges at US universities.

    Against this background of public exhortations for revolution and condemning the powers that be as war criminals, there will be some smaller subset who take such encouragement to heart and actually does something about it.

    As the statements of our resident Leftist trolls on this thread reflect, they see such violence as no big deal and most very likely support it.

    That’s the nature of the Leftist mind — hateful and skewed. Frankly I don’t understand why anyone bothers to address them directly.

    They are indeed, I believe, insane.

    To clarify for the retarded: While Code Pink and their violent “peace activist” compatriots have certainly advocated the destruction of recruiting centers, possibly leading to the bombing of the one in Times Square, no ACLU facilities have even been picketed, so the comparison is bunk. Get it?

    Chief, I also provided a definition that said there are over 100 definitions for terrorism. I believe the context I used is pretty reasonable.

    In my opinion, the bombing at the recruiting center today was an act of terror, and I believe than the US government will also.

    I think it has a great chance of being an act of terror. But in order for it to be termed terrorism, there should be some evidence that suggests someone was trying to coerce government or influence an outcome of a political dispute. There is nothing to suggest this, yet.

    Also, this was done at 3:00am in the morning. Hardly a time when people would be working or walking the streets. I believe based on the evidence now, this would be felony vandalism.

    But I think it was despicable and I condemn it because of the location that was targeted. I think I am being more honest than most.

I found this! — “In July 1958, the W.P.C. launched a renewed “peace” offensive at its World Congress for International Co-operation and Disarmament held in Stockholm. It got off to a shaky start, however, after the British philosopher and pacifist Bertrand Russell withdrew his sponsorship of the congress and denounced the W.P.C. for its refusal to condemn the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956 and the kidnapping and murder of Hungarian prime minister, Imre Nagy.” I did not know that about Bertrand Russel. At least he stood up to the communist front.

    But if you think it was terrorism. What is the change in government are they attempting influence? Why not vandalism?

    One 1988 study by the US Army found that over 100 definitions of the word “terrorism” have been used.[3] Acts of terrorism are not intended to merely victimize or eliminate those who are killed, injured or taken hostage but rather to intimidate and influence the societies to which they belong.

  • Hannitized

    Keeping things in context is important. Google Marine recruitment center bombing atroicty and see what comes up. Then Google nazi atrocity, My Lai Massacre atrocity and see what comes up.

    1The “My Lai massacre” doesn’t seem to be quite the monstrous atrocity that Americans were led to believe. An alternative to the standard ant-American story:

    And you are THE ONLY ONE who even went that far. I missed ONE comment of yours (after characterizing the rest of them accurately). My bad, I’m only 99% accurate, instead of 100%. I’m human and missed a post of yours.

    Hawk downplayed it. “No big deal.” You immediately jumped on “right wing attack dogs”. Only MUCH later, in a throw away fashion, you said it was bad…but were in the middle of being a left wing apologist (conveniently ignoring that Woof HAD condoned it, and that Anti- and Socialist had accused the military and right wingers). Gee, I was soooooooo off the mark.

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/entry/homosexuality_is_wrong_-_a_compendium move_zig

    When I discussed the true political landscape with Balint Vazsonyi, he agreed that instead of the Left Wing / Right Wing dichotomy (itself a product of Leftist terminology and mindset) resting on opposite ends of a single-dimensional Political Spectrum, it was really Americans versus Socialists.

    I have seen nothing since that discussion in the late 1990′s to prove this any different.

    The earmark of the Left in America (since the phrase American Leftist is a contradiction in terms) is their utter contempt and hatred for America and its traditional institutions.

    To that end they have worked with our enemies to undermine our defense, create and exploit divisions with our overseas allies and to destroy the moral fabric of America.

    Let’s be a little more specific:

    When Roger Baldwin founded the ACLU in 1920, Earl Browder, then General Secretary of the Communist Party, USA, referred to the ACLU as the “transmission belt” for Communist policy. Today Americans have lost sight of the fact that at one time the Communist Party was the world’s premier enemy of liberty.

    It’s not just the ACLU… There’s also the Institute for Policy Studies, a Left-wing front group posing as a think tank. According to the author, the IPS knowingly consorted with KGB officers during the Cold War and did such public service as disclosing the locations of allied nuclear warhead stockpiles.

    Powell also explores IPS involvement in the peace movement. He cites IPS fellow Fred Halliday’s admission that much of the organization’s work has been “concerned with opposing and demystifying [the] claim . . . that there has been a fundamental shift in the balance between the East and the West over the past decade. . . .” IPS and its overseas arm, the Transnational Institute, maintain regular contact with Eastern European and Latin American Communists.

    That Peace Movement, as it was euphamistically both here at home and overseas, was later exposed to be largely controlled and directed by the Central Committee of the Communist Party

    Ponomarev’s First Deputy Chief is Vadim Zagladin, a member of the CPSU Central Committee. Because of its responsibility for dealing with Communist parties in non-Communist states, the International Department funnels its covert propaganda requirements through both the Communist parties themselves and, utilizing its International Organizations Section the various pro-Soviet international front organizations

    While those who study covert Communist influence agree that the rank and file often have no direct knowledge of Soviet or Chi-Com direct contact, it is the very top (or cadre) of the Western leaderships who have the connections, while the mouth-breathing smellyhippy troops simply share the belief systems and are the willing stooges for violent demonstrations and terroristic acts.

    One fine example of how a well-educated but Marxistically-deranged American took Socialist thinking to dangerous extremes is Theodore Kaczynski, who oddly enough, had Berkeley, California connections. Even more coincidentally, when they inventoried his jam-packed cabin, they found a dog-earned, highlighted, underlined and handwritten-noted copy of Al Gore’s Earth in the Balance.

    Kaczynski, it seems, is a major fan of author Gore. A heavily underlined copy of Earth in the Balance was found in his remote cabin. However, according to the American Spectator magazine, the title somehow disappeared in future official references to Kaczynski’s library, apparently “suppressed to avoid embarrassing Gore and the administration.” Sources tell Insight that the Dole and Clinton campaigns negotiated an agreement that put the Kaczynski obsession with Gore’s ideas on ecology off limits.

    The military is not the conservatives personal plaything.

    No, indeed. But it is conservatives who value the military for its proper role, that of destroyer of our nation’s enemies and guardian of our freedoms and our culture by the implicit threat of violent, deadly force.

    “Meals on Wheels” was a Clintonian construct.

  • Hannitized

    I think it’s sad that no liberals here are condemning it. All of them immediately switch topics:

    The fact that you too lazy to find our quotes condemning the matter is not our fault.

    What is really sad is the fact that not one republican has thought that this might be a terrorist act, you immediately jumped to accuse your fellow Americans.

    Funny that.

  • http://magyartruth.blogspot.com/ Chief RZ

    Thanks, Sally. I did note the sarcasm from the “hanitized” tag, but I have encountered some who have been much more shall I say, illogical.

  • http://manoffireandlight.blog.co.uk/ ManofFireandLight

    I sit here on the other side of the pond, watching everyone squabbling. The righties say the lefties did it and the lefties say the righties did it and I chuckle to myself.

    It is not outside the realms of possibility that the perpetrator was a lone (unaffiliated) bomber, obviously mentally ill, who is disgruntled that he was rejected for military service.

    This does not bear much similarity with any previous Islamist attacks, so one must conclude some form of particularly amateurish home grown terrorism. Leaving the explosive device so early in the morning, means that the streets will have been relatively quiet, making the task of tracing his movements on CCTV footage a lot easier.
    I’m sure the authorities are on the case and I would not be surprised if they had a suspect ID’d or in custody before long.

  • laydownSally

    ManofFireandLight,

    I’m sure the authorities are on the case and I would not be surprised if they had a suspect ID’d or in custody before long.

    The reference to Islamic terrorist was made by hannatized, all other comments were satirical in response to that absurdity.

    No doubt this is someone trying to ingratiate themselves with the code-pink crowd or as you say a military reject, but it is serious none the less. Robs’ point about the democrats courting and accepting groups such as these is and give credence to their values, is valid.

  • http://insanereindeer.blogspot.com/ Kenny

    Never said it was, but then it’s equally fair to claim its the right pretending to be the stinky hippies.
    And thus, you have found yourselves wallowing in the same mud. Welcome.

    It’s not equally fair because your conclusion makes less sense. It’s like if some black dude woke up to find the word “nigger” spray painted across his garage. It’s possible that it was black kids trying to stir up racism (it’s happened before), but the more logical conclusion is that it was racist whites. ESPECIALLY if racists had been harassing him as of late (as anti-war protestors have been doing for…oh….4 years?). Occsum’s Razor says the simplest explaination makes the most sense.

    We have a pattern of this behavior from anti-war protestors, we have no logical reason to believe it’s a setup (as that’s unheard of in military/war issues), we have the Code Pink people celebrating it…I’d call that a more than logical reason to believe what Rob believes.

    Not true, so did RBB.

    RBB hasn’t commented in this thread according to my “find next” button.

    Didnt think I had to. I made the comment before your accusation and I am not guilty before I have to prove my innocence. It was your mistake, not mine.

    Shrug, I characterized the rest of your posts accurately. I make no apologies. It was a very small mistake. You originally moved the topic off of the actual attacks, talking about “right wing attack dogs” to divert the subject. Only when called on it repeatedly, did you issue that “they should be prosecuted” statement while trying to exonerate Woof. (Though in fairness, maybe you didn’t see his comment.)

    I think you compared me to 4 people? That would be 25%.
    Yawn.

    I got all of their arguments dead on, and I was accurate with yours too. That I missed a single condemnation gives me an accuracy rating of somewhere in the high 90s. Yawn indeed.

    You don’t know what sexism is, or you wouldnt have said that.

    She attacked me viciously, I responded with flirting. You would be surprised how many women respond to that.

    You dismissed her arguments and threw in some snide remarks about getting turned on. That’s what you liberals like to call sexual harassment, chuckles.

    Flirting is not an ad hominem sunshine. And you went for my jugular anyway. Personally, I think you were aiming somewhere else.

    Yea, that’d get you fired from just about any job.

  • Hannitized

    Hannitized. Your words are logical. Did you read the letter-link?

    I read through it a little bit, but I was still at work, so it was hard to do the due diligence. I will take another look.

    It appears that the bomber was trying to make a point, and it involves an attack on the USA and the defense department.

    And that is why I view it as something more offensive. And I believe you are seeing this correctly. If the intent is there (that they were making a political point or opposing the American military) they should be punished as something greater than simple criminals convicted of class B felonies.

    I do have a problem with certain people and courts attempting to circumvent justice and not allowing The Truth to be told, but that is another matter.

    It’s not another matter, you are right. I take issue with that as well, and I am not a lawyer, but I do try to look at things from a legal perspective at times. If it is pertinent. You are coming across as very reasonable on this issue Chief. Cheers!

    I take your words at face value and then suggest that we await further facts.

    Agreed. If this bombing is a result of some organization attempting to make a political statement, they deserve the scorn and ridicule that they brought onto themselves. Additionally they should be treated more harshly in the eyes of law and the American justice system. Absolutely.

  • laydownSally

    You really are the anti-conservative. You’re not above lying about them.

  • pparets

    AntioConservative: Maybe I am missing something here, but your thread would seem to suggest two things:

    1. Only a ‘right-wing’conservative would – or should – get upset at the bombing of a recruiting office. Why would that be? Are you suggesting that all other shades of the political spectrum regard this as no big deal? I hope not.

    2. The military unit operating the recruiting station might have staged the bombing for some nefarious purpose. And that would be?

    Why do folks like you always denounce stereotypes and then immediately indulge in them by lumping all conservatives into some imaginary paramilitary, brainless mob of right-wing freaks?

    Why do folks like you always resort to sarcasm: “boo hoo”, “a WHOLE pane of glass” and “real news”, instead of an intelligent discussion of why you believe this incident lacks relevance?

    Atrocity? Isn’t this a little hyperbole. Sure it is illegal, even a felony, but nobody was hurt. The bomb was set to go off when nobody was there. A strip mall got damaged. That is not an atrocity.

    We are once again privy to the logic of the jack-in-the-box that calls itself Hawk.

    You see it’s proper in the delusional minds of these cowards, to burn down homes that don’t fit into their panoramic view of the environment. It is customary for them to scramble the brains of yet to be born infant due to own infantile reasoning and because it’s just darn inconvenient.

    So certainly they see no dilemma in placing a little bomb in an office that houses those who are the bravest in our country. What’s the big deal? Atrocity?

    We can only hope that one day soon the a size eleven boot scrapes away the pebbles of their formicary and forces them to find another suitable habitat. A cave in Mesopotamia perhaps?

    t’s not equally fair because your conclusion makes less sense. It’s like if some black dude woke up to find the word “nigger” spray painted across his garage.

    Well, I think you are basing your decision based on your bias. Your comparison isn’t an accurate example either.

    I think you summation is silly. They are equally likely and further both of those options aren’t even that likely. The most likely evidence is some lone whack-job.

    I hardly suspect a group of mothers and Granny’s are responsible for this, especially when they advocate for the troops to come home safely.

    Let it play out Kenny. Stop the propaganda and hateful speech.

    We have a pattern of this behavior from anti-war protestors,

    That is an irresponsible statement. What other locations have been bombed by anti-war protesters. Don’t be silly.

    we have the Code Pink people celebrating it…I’d call that a more than logical reason to believe what Rob believes.

    Can you link to some evidence of this? I couldnt find anything, but I didn’t look that hard because I just find that hard to believe.

    RBB hasn’t commented in this thread according to my “find next” button.

    It wasn’t this thread it was the same story in another location. It doesn’t change the reality that he responded to this incident and post in contrast to your accusation. I have no idea why this was posted twice.

    You originally moved the topic off of the actual attacks, talking about “right wing attack dogs” to divert the subject. Only when called on it repeatedly, did you issue that “they should be prosecuted” statement while trying to exonerate Woof.

    I did make that argument, because I just thought Robs request was incredibly ridiculous. I didn’t feel the need to condemn a bombing. Who in their right mind supports that.

    Really Kenny, you are stretching here. This is totally up-surd. And your math really stinks.

    You dismissed her arguments and threw in some snide remarks about getting turned on. That’s what you liberals like to call sexual harassment, chuckles.

    Yes Kenny, I dismissed her vicious and unwarranted attacks on me. Do you see any reason why I shouldn’t?

    I responded to her attack by flirting. Any unwanted flirting can be termed sexual harassment, if you want to go to that length. That is a far stretch from sexism.

    Sometimes you just take your arguments to the silliest points. Why don’t you just grow up and admit this is nothing more than a blog, where people insult each other all the time, and quit pretending that my silly flirting jokes are serious.

    If you want to focus on these things…i will entertain you, but it’s sort of pointless.
