FBI: MLK Day Parade Bomb Is ‘Domestic Terrorism’
Someone put a bomb in Spokane, Washington but you haven’t heard about it. It was set to kill the marchers in an MLK Day parade.
The FBI is calling it an act of domestic terrorism but you still haven’t heard about it.
Spokane has a history of White Supremacist activity, and Rachel Maddow goes into it (and wonders who no one is talking about this).
According to this report, the FBI thinks it IS tied to a white power hate group.

John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address
Fifty years ago, JFK called our nation to service. Here is the speech.
Since that time we have become a nation of violence and a nation where service to others is scoffed at. “Compassionate conservatives” spent 2008 denigrating “community organizers” like our President.
