There was a warning before the OKC bombing

[Tourist Guy]

1995 was the 'old days' when more information was spread via talk radio rather than the 'net. I remember vividly in the weeks before OKC that something 'big' was going to happen. The really paranoid types thought Reno et.al. was doing something to go after the "militias" (I was never a part of that for the record).

Interestingly enough, they used OKC to spread alot of fear and panic about the growing movement of people who no longer trusted/were afraid of their government. Doesn't anyone else remember that for a year after OKC the word 'patriot' was used in a very negative fashion?
Fortunately folks have rekindled their patriotism after 9/11.

It was nice knowin' ya!

Um, sorry grimalkin, but Timothy McVeigh was a WASP and had no connections with fundamentalist Muslims whatsoever. Maybe it would help if you checked your sources first....

Sources, like the Associated Press? What's the matter, your mullahs getting nervous after finding that crashed drone over there in Iran? Keep an eye on the sky over that power plant Russia's been building for ya. A WASP might get it.

Maybe it would help if you checked your sources first....

Quite often, people should follow their own advice first.

What did Clinton know and when did he know it?

As much as I would like to be a writer for a very well known liberal news source, I'm simply not that talented. Take you're objections to the Associated Press.

Correction: make that "your" not "you're". See what I mean?

[syriacus]

Gee, what a coincidence...

Warnings of Islamists striking US Government buildings around the same time a US government building was bombed.

By the way... the "Religion of Peace" ^TM just killed one of your countrymen- a Brit banker in the streets of Riyadh.

Hmmm.... evidently the one-hit wonder decided to go into freepmail and throw this comment my way, which seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the article at hand or my comments, which did not even address his 1st ammendment rights. (Rights which, by the way, he doesn't have in Great Britain) :

Aw, couldn't you do better than that? And I thought you republicans were all for freedom of speech....
