We certainly don’t want to rush to judgment and risk another scolding, but the reports coming out of Canada regarding that foiled plot to blow up a passenger rail line certainly suggest that the alleged plotters are not the white Americans David Sirota was hoping for.

Brian Ross has yet to comment, but that hasn’t stopped these investigative journalists-in-waiting from speculating.

Waiting for the left to claim foiled Canada terrorism was Tea Party plot(it is April!) & Alex Jones crowd will call it another False Flag.

Canada just arrested some terrorists. Must be the Toronto branch of the Tea Party.

So what did Canada do to make terrorists hate them? Will the media blame Canada like they do the US? @TwitchyTeam

To be fair, the last time we heard of a group arrested for plotting to blow up a bridge, it was white American males, but it wasn’t the Tea Party or Al-Qaeda, but the right-wing extremists associated with Occupy Cleveland.
Maybe right-wingers are behind the plot after all.
If the names announced by Canada are of Muslims, I swear on my life then it's so obvious this all is a huge play to spark islamophobia again
