Why did Bloomberg and Couric try to blame the attempted bombing in NYC on a "home grown" terrorist?
Here is an exchanger between Katie Couric and NYC Mayor Bloomberg on the attempted car bombing in NYC which aired yesterday.
KATIE COURIC: Law enforcement officials don't know who left the Nissan Pathfinder behind, but, at this point, the mayor believes the suspect acted alone.
MAYOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG: If I had to guess -- 25 cents -- this would be exactly that, somebody-
COURIC TO BLOOMBERG: A home-grown?
BLOOMBERG: Home-grown, maybe a mentally deranged person or somebody with a political agenda that doesn't like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.
So, Bloomberg referred to the bomber as someone who could be "mentally deranged", "home grown" or someone with a political agenda who "doesn't like the health care bill".
Why did Bloomberg try to pin the blame on someone other than a terrorist, especially trying to pin the blame on someone who does not support Obama's agenda?
Wow, "Michael Savage" how have Muslims and Hispanics been subjected to racial profiling? So nice to make a stated with no facts to back it up.

Left wing nuts need to convince themselves that the right and Republicans are dangerous so they can push their agenda through.
Remember that guy who flew his plane into a building in Texas? That guy was a Marxist, but everyone was painting him as a conservative.

I don't understand why it is a crime to make wild speculations about the identity of some vague figure, with few clues to go by, they made wild guesses based on very little information-that is how newscasters fill up dead air
Michael Bloomberg is probably trained to spot possible terrorist types by the Terrorist Task Force-he does happen to be the Mayor of their favorite target city... he can only say what he already knows, and that is all anyone did before the man was captured and identified for us

Because he cant be charged as a terrorist, no matter who the guy is. He`s home grown because he`s a US citizen.

Is Mayor Bloomberg guilty of political profiling? Funny how when the profiling shoe is on the other foot.... Republicans don't like it. Yet profiling hispanics, muslims or any other group is quite okay with you.

Because the media is full of anti - Conservative douche bags who are hoping a Tea Partier or something similar does this kind of thing so they can label such movements and the people who are a part of them as deranged and crazy.

that person has only been a US citizen for one YEAR
they have caught him this morning

Because the terrorist is a US citizen. That's pretty much the definition of homegrown.

They were trying to blame it on the Tea party people and Republicans. They are both worthless people any how.
