A moment I will never forget...
Edited on Tue Mar-30-10 07:57 AM by Stuart G
It was in April of 1995. Two friends and I were coming back from a Casino and the radio was on. There was something about a bombing in Oklahoma City at a federal building. Lots of innocent people were killed. Our first thoughts went to the turmoil in Israel. Some militant anti Jewish groups blew up this building to make some kind of statement against the U.S. continuing support of Israel. The three of us could think of nothing else.

So it turned out to be an ex marine (ex army vet- correction.sorry.) with thoughts about "Waco". It took a while to get the whole picture.
It was a sick and very ugly picture which still exists today. Those people are still around.

1. Criticize the Marines for something else. McVeigh was US Army. Get your 'facts' straight. nt

2. My *very* first thought when I heard about it: "It's one of Limbaugh's people."
He was almost the only RW turd on the air at the time, and he was ratcheted up against Clinton very much like he and the other turds are today, except there are so many more of them and they're really amped up because this time the Democrat isn't even white.

3. No, they're louder, not more numerous. They're going extinct and it's making them more fanatical.nt
