Home grown terrorist indeed, Zooey Deschanel on a rampage!
Auto correction at its finest. What kinda name is Zooey anyway?
Franny and Zooey by JD Salinger.
Coincidence her show is on Fox? I THINK NOT!
THEREFORE YOU AREN’T.
Is that the closed captioning? I’ve never seen text like that on Fox or any other channel.
For the deaf. We need them just as ill informed as everyone else.
It’s not just for the deaf!
Many use CC if the accent or sound quality is hard to understand or you don’t want to listen while doing something else.
And lets not forget about bars.
Obama has released pictures of him in the situation room taking care of Osama raid, and now the marathon bombing, but nothing of him during the Benghazi massacre.
Please share your pictures of yourself during the Benghazi massacre? Inquiring minds want to know!
His home pics would involve a limber Eskimo, a Matador costume, one bicycle pump and four packages of lime jello. All used in a Biblically correct way of course.
haha. The Teabaggers broken record — “Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi… [as nauseum]”
With all the valid problems with Obama, you guys a fixated on that one, non-issue.
It’s time to give thanks that Pres Obama oversaw the capture of the terrorists and once again our safety is secured.
Dallas, what the hell are you talking about. Obama didn’t oversee anything in Boston.
He’s a terrorist nabbing, pirate killing black ninja. You bet he was directly involved .
fishing for Pedros again?
Faux News, accurate as ever.
Thanks for the updates there news media morons!
Now, can someone (in journalism perhaps) please tell me how this whole mess affects the rest of the country where we need to be tuned in to it 24/7?!
I’m glad they caught the asshole bombers but isn’t that what NEWS stations are for? For reporting the NEWS?! Or how about those Amber alerts?! Do we all really need 24/7 coverage of police walking around and searching various Boston neighborhoods while there are other LOCAL NEWS concerns in other parts of the country like, oh I don’t know, say DALLAS or WEST TEXAS?!
Is it just possible that we all had to be subject to the events in Boston because that’s basically “ground zero” for leftist liberals?! Could it be that we all had to watch this travesty of rights ensue on live television just because we might be graced with another appearance from Butthead OBummer telling us that everything is OK when it really isn’t?!
Don’t get me wrong! Imposing martial law over 2 criminals – TWO CRIMINALS – for all of Boston is news! I just question the importance since it’s obvious to me that coverage of this event (let alone any technically illegal moves like suspension of civil rights) may have more to do with government public relations than the actual event. And the media played right into it. But then, I suppose I should have expected that. We all should have.
…And when the media gets their facts wrong, does that really surprise anyone either? After all, they can’t even spell names correctly even when they’re told!
Why you ask? Really you have to ask??
“Now, can someone (in journalism perhaps) please tell me how this whole mess affects the rest of the country where we need to be tuned in to it 24/7?!”
Because of the last time we had a “terrorist” attack, we had a bunch of Right Wing Friends & Cowards of Fox News chicken-hawk whacks, George W. Bush and company declare and start a crusade – a war on terrorism – if Afghanistan’s ruling Taliban rejected President “Dick” Cheney ultimatum to deliver to United States Osama bin Laden on September 2001.
Contrast that to Barack Hussein Obama more measured, better acting and less bombastic response:
*Obama response cost less lives!
*Obama response doesn’t cost taxpayers more than $1,444,652,886,100…
*Obama response doesn’t expand the government with ineffective agencies like HOME LAND SECURITY!
*Obama response is more effective with SEAL Team 6 killing of Osama bin Laden “brains spilling out over his face” instead of going to WAR!
*Obama response is more effective in facing and resolving American issues then:
-President “Dick” Cheney errant shotgun “face” blasting his friend Harry Whittington while impersonating Elmer Fudd on the hunt while Bush is impersonating Yosemite Sam on camera in the White House!
Little passionate about this aren’t you?
You don’t want to see me passionate!
I don’t know, 2300 cops on overtime plus all those bullets. Do that everyday to fight terrorism one guy at a time and it adds up fast.
If this upsetting to people, how about the rampage of misinformation that took place on twitter after the bombing itself?
Twitter was probably more accurate than CNN.
The Boston Marathon Bombers = the end of 1.) more senseless gun-control laws and 2.) the Immigration Reform bill.
Typical repuke, always wanting a despotic government that will not represent 78% of American’s wishes and instead cow-tows to NRA money!
The Democrat-Liberal-Professor-types living in the northeast might agree with you.
But the latest Washington Post/ABC poll shows the majority of Americans believe a gun makes a home safer.

What do you know about people?
Repukes don’t represent Americans, instead they cow tow to K street lobbyist!
Repukes ignore Americans as polls show, 58% of Americans support banning assault weapons like the one which expired in 2004 after 10 years; 39 percent oppose it.
If you want to know how callous, evil and disturbed Repukes are, see how they equate shooting Pigeons with Children of Newtown Connecticut!
Now I remember why I stopped reading comments on here.
poor pitiful pedro, still a sad child, you are. Momma never loved you did she?
You forgot to whine about same sex marriage. You might as well hit all the obvious g-spots.
You might not like it, but you can’t argue that my point is not valid. It is exactly the outcome; courtesy of the bombers.
I am not arguing your merits if there are any!
I am just asserting how typical Repukes are and what they really want is an anti-democratic despotic government that will NOT represent 78% of American’s wishes and instead cow-tows to NRA money!
You know where you can put your argument points!
If you need, I can certainly repeat the obvious assertions!
I see more straight line logic around baseball caps and backpacks.
You’ve completely missed the hot ticket item: public surveillance. You’ve focused on the things that piss you off personally and missed the real story.
Naw, that’s Obama’s drama coach.
I think he’s pretty good now and doesn’t need one anymore. He’s no Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton (ah, the Golden Years) but he’s way better than both Bushes.
The people of Boston deserve a vote. It’s time we ban bombs.
The people of Watertown deserve a vote. It’s time we ban boats.
Saying pressure cooker would have made your shitty joke less shitty
Boston gets a terrorist attack.
How’s that for irony, from an ex-resident of Belfast
So you don’t like Fox. Big deal. You could have nailed several news organization for blunders this week. My reaction to this just Preet! If this is the best you can do by way of news you aren’t doing much more than wasting my time.
USA needs refuge from refugees
Uncle Sam lets another bunch of leeching future terrorists into the country who have absolutely no business being here, gives them “asylum,” making them immediately eligible for welfare, and this is the thanks we get?
They turn into mass murderers.
We bring in thousands of Muslims from a primitive society that has been battling Christians for centuries, and put them into a peaceful Christian society — what could possible go wrong?
This is what I was thinking about yesterday, with much of the city under what amounted to martial law. Once more, law-abiding American citizens were paying the price for the insane immigration policies that have so damaged this society in recent years.
You can see the decay everywhere — in the emergency rooms, in the courts, in the welfare offices and, yes, in the epidemic of senseless murders.
Some great comments from Howie Carr
This would all make complete sense (well not really) if the bombers were actually refugees.
Oh, damn. That was fact. I’ll stop that now. No place here.
Repukes are well trained (recall the party of “Joe” McCarthy) in creating false inventions that drive their propaganda machine in inspiring STUPID people to believe in and help build a Repuke anti-democratic despotic government that will NOT represent 78% of American’s wishes and instead cow-tows to NRA money!
That is why Repuke acolyte jbenson2 hates Professor-types, they don’t buy the lies!
JCD, please rename the site “Obama bashing troll bait”
How dumb can Fox be, Zooey Deshanal is obviously not 19 years old.
Faux News trying to steal some of Daily Show audience.
Do you support or oppose the death penalty for the bomber?
