Sounds just like trying to pin Jared Lee Loughner as a right-winger, but he was a madman. Tap those brakes a little and wait to see what facts come forth.

the only reason people thought that is because he attacked a Democratic congresswoman.
This time, there's a lot more facts here pointing to the right wing. The timing, the location, the mode, etc. There's literally nothing here pointing to any other faction whether its islam, bill ayers coming out of retirement or greenpeace.

The timing? It was also the birthday of Kim Il Sung and N. Korea is currently angry at us ... it could have been a test by one of their sleeper cells. You can't just take a random date and just because something else happened that day in the past assume that's why it happened. That makes you look like a whackjob conspiracy theorist.

Tap those brakes bro, you're suffering from confirmation bias. Whether the person responsible for it has an agenda that meets your hopes has no bearing on the fact that you're assuming harder than you should.
You need to take care of that paranoia of yours. It's going to eat you up inside. I'm not even American and don't give two shits about right/left wing US politics. You're all far right wing nuts as far as I'm concerned.
I do think those three darkies look totally guilty though. They look exactly how I imagine terrorists look like.

Your personal bias is driving your thought processes. There is tons of circumstantial evidence pointing at every type of suspect, even aliens with big tits.

Happened 2 days prior to the anniversary of OKC bombing, which by itself was done on the anniversary of the Waco siege.
But I bet that's just a coincidence.
Like I said, N. Korea is actively talking about sending nuclear missiles at us ..... I guess that's coincidence then that the birthday of their supreme leader they do a small backpack test so they can see response times.
I don't believe a word I just said but you can make reasons up all day long, doesn't make them a slam dunk.

Islamic terror groups typically claim responsibility for their attacks when they succeed, they are proud of them.
I don't recall the last time any right wing groups claimed responsibility for their bombings. Certainly wasnt any of the known ones like Rudolph, McVeigh, etc. They slink bank into the crowd to bomb another day.

While I don't have any evidence to back it up, I gotta admit that the first thing that came to mind just after it happened was 'right wing nutjob.' I'm not going to break it down fact by fact, but it doesn't have that middle eastern radical feel to it, imo, especially in light of the current political climate over there in the states.
And yeah, I'd think if it was AQ or some other ME group, they'd be gloating over having struck back at the imperialist pigs by now.

Honestly this is a shitty week to be out in public. All kinds of reasons for groups to attack us this week. Granted most are domestic.
We had our pick of crazies.
Israel's 65th birthday happened to coincide with the Boston Marathon
Tax Day
Waco's anniversary was this week
Oklahoma city bombing was planned for waco's anniversary

If an organized group were behind this then they probably would have claimed responsibility. But the last few years Al Qaeda has been actively recruiting and "Inspiring" soloists who act on their own without direction from the larger organization.
So a Al Qaeda sympathizer could be responsible and not have any direct ties back to them. A soloist might not claim responsibility because they fear it could be traced. It is just as probable as the "right wing nutjob" theory and has as much evidence pointing in that direction.
So claiming one side or the other only shows your personal bias.
I think the only thing we can be sure of is that if you had a back pack at the event then you will be getting a visit from the feds.
