On Thursday, just hours after the FBI released blurry pictures of the two suspected Boston Marathon bombers, CNN anchor Erin Burnett assumed the suspects were “stereotypically” white Americans and not linked to any foreign terror group.
It turned out that the suspects–Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev–are technically “white”, but they are ethnically Chechen (although Dzhokhar recently became a citizen).
“They are young. They’re white. They’re very confident. They kind of look like college kids,” Burnett said on the Thursday evening edition of her low-rated primetime show, “Outfront.”
The only “right wing” domestic terrorist that I can recall was Timothy McVeigh. His beef of course was with the way in which the government handled the Waco incident where all those innocent people were burned to death. (The Okla. City bombing was on the anniversary of the Waco incident).
Every since then, liberals have been disappointed that terrorist don't fit the same mold.
