Exploiting the Oklahoma City bombing

[Swede]

I read this opinion piece and I just can not understand this disconnect from reality. Something bad is coming from the rightwing fringe and the mainstream right cannot see it. Or refuse to.

Monday was the anniversary of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing that left 149 men and women - most of them federal workers - and 19 children dead. As is his habit, former President Bill Clinton used the occasion to bash his critics.

In a New York Times opinion piece, "What We Learned in Oklahoma City," Clinton placed the blame on Americans who have advocated smaller government. The terrorists - bomber Timothy McVeigh and his accomplices - who targeted the Murrah Federal Building, he wrote, "took to the ultimate extreme an idea advocated in the months and years before the bombing by an increasingly vocal minority: the belief that the greatest threat to American freedom is our government, and that public servants do not protect our freedoms, but abuse them."

3. So Tim McVeigh did the bombing with the urging of the right so nuts

but some how again, the Democrats and the Clinton administration are responsible.
Seems logical...that's the way the republicans want people to think.

4. Oh, they can see it well enough...

but their erections keep pushing them out of their chairs...and their sponsors' phones somehow won't stop ringing...

5. When you come right down to it, the RW fringe IS the mainstream right.

This country is going nuts.
