WND columnist calls for Muslims to be killed in wake of today's horror in Boston

You expected the wingnuts to start blaming Muslims for today's horrific bombings at the Boston Marathon. But one of them, WorldNutDaily's Erik Rush, is already calling for ALL Muslims to be lined up and shot. No, I'm not kidding.

Rush--a yayhoo who thought Democrats should have been brought up on treason charges if Romney won and once suggested Harry Reid should be dragged to death behind a truck-- took to Twitter literally minutes after the explosion and opined:

Everybody do the National Security Ankle Grab! Let's bring more Saudis in without screening them! C'mon! #bostonmarathon

When another Twitter user, @bloodonthemike, asked him if he was already pointing the finger at Muslims, Rush replied:

@bloodonthemike Yes, they're evil. Let's kill them all.

This is the best I could do to bring these tweets to you--unfortunately, Twitter's servers have gone crazy since the bombings, and I can't embed them.

Rush has, not surprisingly, been bombarded as a result. He now claims that he was just being sarcastic, and that Islamists use similar rhetoric every day. He also claims those calling him out are "Islamist apologist worms."

You expect lunacy from a WND columnist, but this goes way too far even by its standards.

2:50 PM PT: Quaroar reports in the comments that Rush took the "kill them all" tweet down, but is still tripping over himself defending it. He can't run from it, though--People for the American Way got a screen capture.

6:22 P.M.N.H.L. Postpones Monday's Bruins-Senators Game

The National Hockey League has postponed Monday night’s Boston Bruins game against the Ottawa Senators at TD Garden.

The Bruins’ president, Cam Neely, issued the following statement: “After consultation with City, State and NHL officials we collectively made the decision to postpone tonight’s game. Public safety personnel from the City and State are still gathering information regarding today’s events and it is vital they have all resources available for their investigation. The thoughts and prayers of everyone in the Bruins organization are with the city of Boston and all those affected by today’s tragedy.”

6:18 P.M.Boston Symphony's Monday Performance Canceled

The Boston Symphony Orchestra canceled its concert on Monday night after the bombings, citing “security reasons.” The orchestra’s managing director, Mark Volpe, said in an interview that with streets around Symphony Hall blocked off and the Green line of the T shut down, it would be difficult for audience members to get to the auditorium. While there was no specific threat, Mr. Volpe said security officials did a sweep of the building as a precaution and found nothing. He said that as he made his way to Symphony Hall this afternoon, he saw some people “visibly upset” and others “in a daze.”

“It’s shocking,” he said.

Symphony Hall is less than a mile from the marathon finish line.

Monday’s marathon was dedicated in part to the victims of December’s mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. At the start of the marathon, 26 minutes of silence were held to honor the 26 victims, and the 26th mile marker was emblazoned with the Newtown seal.

6:07 P.M.A Newtown, Conn. Tribute

A team from Newtown was among the hundreds of participants in the marathon. Laura Nowacki, a pediatrician who The Hartford Courant said lost eight patients in the shooting and whose fourth-grade daughter survived it, was on the team.

The Newtown Strong charity, with which the runners were affiliated, posted a message on Facebook confirming that all its runners were safe.
