The fucknuts of the Right Wing

Went on and on about the "muslim suicide bomber in Oklahoma" the last few weeks.

Naturally they were wrong.

WHEN A JUNIOR at the University of Oklahoma blew himself up 100 yards away from a packed football stadium on Oct. 1, the 85,000 fans inside remained calm despite the loud explosion.

But the calm has given way to anxiety, as the college town of Norman, Okla., has struggled to separate fact from fiction in the apparent suicide of Joel Henry Hinrichs III...

...From the start, the case was prime territory for bloggers. The conservative blog Little Green Footballs titled one post "Jihad at the University of Oklahoma?" and wrote, "The story of the suicide bomber at the University of Oklahoma football stadium, determinedly ignored by mainstream media, is beginning to get interesting...."

I'd like to note that many blogs went ape shit on the right besides LGF. You would think being "correct" on occasion would count more than the meme. But then again, that would be so left wing wouldn't it.

None of these claims are true: Mr. Hinrichs's family, university officials and the Federal Bureau of Investigation say Mr. Hinrichs suffered from depression, and the explosion was an isolated event.

The FBI's investigation is nearly complete. On Oct. 4, the FBI issued a statement saying, "At this time, there is no known link between Hinrichs and any terrorist or extremist organization(s) or activities."

In an interview, David L. Boren, president of the University of Oklahoma and the former senator who was chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that while most news reports have been responsible, there has been a "feeding frenzy of false rumors" on blogs and in some local TV stations. On Friday, he said in a letter to students and staff that investigators had found "no evidence of a conspiracy involving others which creates an ongoing threat to our OU community."

He wasn't a muslim, he wasn't Al Qaeda, he wasn't a terrorist.

He was a poor, sad, mixed up 21 year old college student who committed suicide.

Sadly there are many, many of those.

What a disgusting episode, shame on LGF and those other idiots. They owe this kid's family a gigantic apology. Perhaps the best apology would be to resist being such chumps.

I guess that would be asking for far too much.
