MSNBC Brings On Guest To Wonder About Bomber's Message: 'Abortion?' 'Taxes?' 'Tea Party?'

MSNBC brought featured author and professor Adam Lankford on Tuesday to wonder about the "message" of the Boston bomber. Was it to "complain about abortion, about taxes?" The guest, labeled a "MSNBC analyst," guessed, " This did happen on tax day in Boston, the place of the Tea Party." He continued the reckless speculation: " Or are they trying to protest, you know, foreign wars or something." Lankford, a professor at the University of Alabama, has written a book on what makes suicide bombers and rampage shooters do what do. He theorized, "The interesting thing is, this is someone on a stage trying to make a statement and that statement has been lost."
