New York Times:

Latest Update, 8:53 a.m. | The New York City police issued a statement at 7:33 a.m. describing the source of the explosion as an “improvised explosive device” and putting the time of the blast at 3:43 a.m.


David Marron thinks anti-war leftists are responsible

The fact that lefties oftentimes ally themselves with radical Islamists, and that Code Pink has defaced military recruitment offices - in particular assaulted them through their proxies at the Berkeley City Council, gives me the impression that someone stepping up the hatred of the military even further- shouldn’t come as a surprise. Wasn’t it Medea Benjamin, after all, who orchestrated the Seattle riots against the World Trade Organization that caused millions of dollars worth of property damage? This is indeed a tactic - of not only terrorists - but of leftists who hate America.

CFP: Was explosion at Times Square recruiting station a call to action by CodePink? - Judy McLeod

Was the early morning explosion that rocked the military recruiting station at New York’s Times Square a call to action by CodePink?

“CodePink, an anti-war group that gave more than $600,000 to terrorists’ families in Iraq, is calling for anti-military agitators to escalate attacks on U.S. Government offices where the military work with potential recruits on their futures.

The group outlines ways for followers to terrorize recruiters, shut down recruiting stations and stop people from exercising the Constitutional rights to pursue their life’s goals.” ( www.moveamericaforward.org).

Code Pink doesn’t care about our rights, neither do they care about matters of national security.

The explosion at the Times Square recruiting office happened as the CodePink blockade remains in front of the recruiting station in Berkeley, Calif.

In addition to the Berkeley blockade, anti-war and anarchist groups have already attacked military recruiting centers in Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, Minn.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Santa Monica, Calif.; Toledo, Ohio’ Murfressboron, Tenn.; Pittsburgh, Penn.; Haverhill, Mass, and New York, N.Y.

And from what I gather from this article, that isn’t even the complete list.

It is past time for leaders in the Senate and House to demand an investigation into the nationwide epidemic of attacks on recruiting stations. U.S. Attorneys should prosecute the agitators. The Constitution provides that the federal government be able to raise an Army during wartime. The escalation in attacks is not only costing taxpayers money, but they could cripple the country’s ability to defend herself. If this isn’t treason, what is?

This is where I’m beginning to think we should be calling on our militia groups across the country…
