MCCONNELL: On 9/11 we forever disabused of the notion that attacks, like the one that rocked Boston yesterday ,only happen on the field of battle or in distant countries. With the passage of time, however, and the vigilant efforts of our military, intelligence and law enforcement professionals, I think it’s safe to say that for many, the complacency that prevailed prior to September 11th has actually returned. And so we are newly reminded that serious threats to our way of life remain. And today again we recommit ourselves to the fight against terrorism at home and abroad.

It's American complacency that is to blame for yesterday's bombing in Boston...right.

1. When it turns out to be a McVeigh type, I bet he shuts up quick.

Don't want to piss off your base, Mr. Turtle.

2. So does he know who did it?My next prediction is Obama will be personally blamed for not preventing.

It is amazing his brain generates enough electricity to move muscles.

6. You're Right

Blaming President Obama is the not so subtle subtext. He is a small man.

3. I just saw that complacency statement scrawled across the bottom of the screen on MSNBC

and literally screamed in frustration. I fully expected LaPierre to show up afterward to tell us all that if everyone had been armed on that street no one would have been harmed. This is what this is all about--preventing gun control measures and ramping up the war machine.

I just sent that idiot an email reading as follows:

I just heard your remarks on the events of yesterday in Boston and see that you have chosen to blame the American people for their "complacency." Sir, this citizen is laying blame at the feet of a Congress which refuses to serve the nation and plays games with our national policy to hold onto power. Instead of telling us that we all need to be armed to the teeth and that we have no responsibility to one another, try building some consensus and encouraging a sense of community in the nation. You are part of the problem right now. I strongly encourage you to stop actively working to divide the nation and engage in a meaningful way to promote solutions for the good of the many and not the few.

4. Who managed to get bin Laden. And HEY at least he admits Junior/Cheney were complacent.

5. I'm sure his austerity cuts are doing wonders for preparedness

I loathe this idiot.

7. You have to continually create fear in order to

keep pimping arms to add to our enormous stockpile of armaments.

8. So, he's blaming America for the bombing? His statement does blame us, right?

9. Pretty much seems that way. nt

10. He just needs to join the Westboro Baptist Church, the Late Jerry Fallwell, Pat Robertson and such.

11. And...

...they call US the 'blame America first crowd'...
