From the Stupid File: Taliban Chief Claims Responsibility for New York Shooting – Some Hard Right Conservative Blogs Believe it….

Talk about an attention whore!

A Pakistani Taliban militant leader has claimed responsibility for the attack on a U.S. immigration center in New York state in which 13 people were killed, Reuters reported.

“I accept responsibility. They were my men. I gave them orders in reaction to U.S. drone attacks,” Baituallah Mehsud told Reuters by telephone from an undisclosed location on Saturday.

U.S. officials were not immediately available for comment about Mehsud’s claim, Reuters reported, and one Pakistani security analyst dismissed the claim as a publicity stunt.

Representative Maurice Hinchey, whose district includes Binghamton, told the New York Times that indications are the gunman was an immigrant from Vietnam.

Most Sane right wing blogs are dismissive of this claim as well. Well, except for two; one is a Die-Hard Wilsonian Neo-Con, who obviously was really screwed up in Vietnam, and the other is a long discredited far right wing Blog, who is prone to make up stuff, when she does not have the facts.  However, for the most part, everyone else about it is pretty much inline with the Government.

While I might give the Taliban credit for being what they are in Afghanistan, I highly doubt that the Taliban are that far reaching into the United States.  So, while I might not agree with the left on issues of Government and the role of it in our lives, I can see why they would write posts like this one here.  Sometimes there are people in our ranks that really make Conservatives look like loons. I am happy to report, we’re not all that way! 😀

I mean, chapping Obama’s ass for bowing to Saudi King in one thing, but playing the role of an idiot, and Blogging and speculating on stuff that has been widely disputed is another. It puts you in the line of Alex Jones and Company.
