1. That reminds me, whatever happened with that NAACP office bombing in Colorado Springs

Would have been big news if it was a Walmart!

6. About your graphic...

The bomb went off three hours before this "search" by Think Progress. The Charlie Hebdo shooters were still at large. Nobody even really knew what happened had happened in Colorado Springs. The next day it was all over CNN. I know because we keep it on CNN at work during the day.

That graphic is a misleading piece of propaganda. It might be technically true, but it certainly doesn't tell the story.

14. If I remember correctly...

Didn't the NAACP bombing happen the day before Charlie Hebdo, and it took about a day of social media outrage before anyone covered it.

15. Ah...you are correct.

I thought they both happened on the same day. Apparently Colorado Springs was January 6 and Paris was January 7.

2. Gun nut practice round. nt

3. Who needs to wait for facts when there's an agenda to be driven?

[NaturalHigh]

4. I remember people saying the same thing about the Boston bombers.

Maybe you remember that? Turns out it wasn't right wing gun nuts.

But then you already knew that...

8. I'm guessing you can back up your claim with facts?

You know, those pesky things like evidence.

9. Onehandle, can you believe the defense of 'gun nuts' here?

Why is it so many come to a librul forum to defend gun nuts?

Why is it? Oh so why?

[GGJohn]

11. Now you're talking to yourself?

[NaturalHigh]

16. You know, you look kind of silly here.

First of all, I'm sure most people define gun nuts much differently than you. Second, you made a really stupid comment that "gun nuts" were making a practice run by setting off a bomb in walmart without a shred of evidence. You're a little obsessive.

5. ZOMG ISIS WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!1!!1!!1!

I'm guessing the investigation will lead to a couple of bored Beavis and Butthead wannabees.

[NaturalHigh]

7. Probably...

Remember the episode where they "blew up the men's room crapper with a quarter stick of dynamite" (one of the earlier ones)? These are probably the same type of geniuses at work here.

10. And now they say it was just a fire, though source unknown.

Police initially told ABC 7 News that a small bomb had detonated inside the store, but later said it was a fire. The cause of the blaze was not immediately known.

[GGJohn]

12. And yet, there's one here claiming it to be gun nuts practicing.

[X_Digger]

13. Well, he also claimed that Boston Marathon bombing was some gun nut.. (among other events).

It's his favorite hobby horse*, so every bump in the night has him yelling "GUN NUTS, I KNEW IT!!!11!!!1"
