Bet That You Won't Hear Too Many People Calling This a "Terroristic Attempt"

Because the usual suspects for something like this are not Muslim:
An explosive device found inside a backpack along a downtown Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade route was a credible threat capable of causing multiple deaths, the FBI said Tuesday.
Indeed, you have to go six paragraphs into the story before the word "terrorism" is mentioned. It certainly isn't in the headline.

On the other hand, you can't even find the story on the WaPo's web site this afternoon. So at least the Times had something about it. It was on MSComcast MSNBC's web site. But it wasn't mentioned on Comcast NBC Nightly News.

Right-wing terrorists are the only ones who've attacked Americans in the past three decades, whether Muslim extremists, Christian extremists, or Nazi/KKK extremists. To say that terrorism is a right-wing phenomenon in America today is like saying water is wet, or the Nile is a river in Egypt. As vs. deNile, which is all you'll hear from the apologists for these terrorists....

Apparently it's only terrorism when a muslim or someone that looks a bit too brown does it.
