Let me clairfy.

I think there is select outrage all the time. In this case, I don't remember anyone on the left saying something about that suspected ricin being sent to POTUS and Pentagon. That said, the POTUS is always a target. No matter their political leanings there are always crazy people out there who want to harm the president for any number of crazy reasons so I can understand why as big a deal wasn't made about that. These bombs are a bigger deal because these bombs are clearly a political attack.

In short, I think there is selective outrage and I'm often baffled or amused by it but in this case I can understand why there is more anger towards one thing than other.

In my post I was mostly saying that I misunderstood him as I thought he was one of the people saying this was a false flag done by the Democrats when, in fact, that wasn't what he was saying.
