Clinton Uses Anniversary of Oklahoma City Bombing to Attack Michelle Bachman

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Reprising his role from 1995, Bill Clinton is exploiting the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing to attack critics of big government for inciting violence, and in the process, he directly singled out comments from Michele Bachmann....

Clinton pointed to remarks like those made Thursday by Representative Michele Bachmann, the Minnesota Republican, who when speaking at a Tea Party rally in Washington characterized the Obama administration and Democratic Congress as “the gangster government.”

“They are not gangsters,” Mr. Clinton said. “They were elected. They are not doing anything they were not elected to do.”

Clinton's comments to the New York Times are part of a broader effort by the left to use the Oklahoma City bombing anniversary to accuse critics of the Obama administration of inciting violence. MSNBC plans a two-hour documentary hosted by Rachel Maddow based on interviews with Timothy McVeigh. "Fifteen years later," the show promo asks, "can McVeigh's words help us understand today's anti-government extremists?"

Will we never be shut of the various dim mafias in this country, the ark mob was bad enough, but the chi mob is worse.

[Catsrus]

He’s a has been. I’m sick of the Clintons.

[mountainlion]

They never did find the John Doe 1 and 2 did they? A truck bomb is the weapon of choice of the towel heads.

[Terry Mross]

Clinton finally found something he can talk about and get his name in the paper. It must be hard on him to sit back and watch the “fairy tale” that kicked his wife’s big butt getting all the admiration.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

This is the third or fourth incidence this week I’ve seen of Democrats trying to tie Michelle Bachmann to McVeigh and Oklahoma City, which reeks of a deliberately planned and coordinated attack on her, similar to what has been done to Sarah Palin.

[NeoCaveman]

In a Rolling Stone interview Bill Clinton said the OKC bombing saved his career and ensured a second term.

We also know the FBI had no interest in any McVeigh and Nichols’s accompices.

Hmmm.

[astyanax]

“They were elected. They are not doing anything they were not elected to do.”
Wow, Slick... what part of "uphold and defend" do you not understand?

[IMR 4350]

You might want to take a look at what KSM confessed to.

In early 95, there was supposed to be an attempted assassination of Clinton in the Philippines by al Quada.

The problem for the dems, Howard Dean has let it slip the dems came up with a strategy in 94-95 to paint the repubs as wanting to assassinate Clinton. The dems and their partners in crime, the MSM, began orchestrating the story.

The dems came up with the strategy, the news media orchestrated the stories, and KSM came up with a plan. Just a coincidence I'm sure.

[LottieDah]

Ah, Bill Clinton...I’ll bet he misses getting his knob polished in the Oval Office. He probably lies awake nights wondering how in hell Obama got elected and his wife did not.

[mquinn]

While it may be a bit rating the difference between the smell of the sewer and that of the gutter, even ol Bubba here rates a bit higher than Jimmy Peanut, I’d have to say.

[nathanbedford]

I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you’re not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration.

Hillary Clinton, 2003

In the wake of the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 liberal pundits attempted to blame the entire city of Dallas, Texas. Many liberal commentators even extended to blame the entire state of Texas, others, still not satisfied, put blame on the south. Virtually none of thought that fact that Lee Harvey Oswald, the assassin, was a Communist who had defected to Russia was relevant.

In the wake of the Oklahoma City bombing, Bill Clinton attempted to blame Rush Limbaugh as though Limbaugh were somehow the wizard behind the curtain driving Timothy McVeigh to blow up the federal building. Somehow Clinton would have had us believe that Rush Limbaugh was Charles Manson of the radio waves.

Now Clinton attempts to do the same thing but his target is now much bigger, no less grandiose than the smears written in 1963 which were designed to defame half the geography of America and advance the media's cause célèbre of the day, civil rights. Today Clinton slanders the majority of American citizens.

But we know that Clinton is a liar, this we know because the DNA tells us so.

[bushfamfan]

I’ve said it and I’ll repeat that Clintoon(both Bill and Hillary) are just as radical as 0bama, but Bill wasn’t given the power with enough members of Congress to get very far. Clintoon was saved in ‘94 by GOP Congress, Governors, and Legislatures that offsett anything he would have done. He is an always be another Demon scumbag.

[bushfamfan]

He is and always will be another Demon scumbag.

I'm guessing Madcow delved deeply into the Ramsey Yousef(sp) connection, project Bojinka and the wall created by Clinton and Gorelick.

Anybody up for borrowing Ramzi Yousef for a couple of afternoons to see if he can blow up Slick and Jamie Gorelick's "Chinese wall"?

Preferably with the two of them sitting on top of it .....

Maybe with the wall blown up, we'll find something indictable hidden behind it, what do you think? Receipts from Chinese PLA Intelligence, and a personal note from Hu Jintao to Slick, "Thanks for all the help, that W88 warhead works like a charm -- nice engineering!! Call me sometime, we'll do lunch."

[lentulusgracchus]

....(both Bill and Hillary) are just as radical as 0bama....

Slick and Beast were both in the SDS back in the day, which was the aboveground "legal" companion to, and cover for, the Weather Underground bombers that helped Obama start his political career in their living room .....

Slick and Beast and Bill and Bernadine and Zero and Michelle .... what a lovely social set, don't you think?

[Las Vegas Ron]

I wish I was going to still be alive when the true history of the Clinton administration is finally revealed.

Not only did he sell this Country our in just about every way possible, but the moral destruction he is responsible for is incalculable.

[lentulusgracchus]

We are still dealing with the same media, the same long term goals, and the same partisan smears. You want to talk “McCarthyism” and “bogus hysteria”? The smears by Democats are never critized as extremist and false rhetoric in our textbooks or media.

When the Pubbies get the majority back in Congress, I want them finally to go after the MSM and the NEA. Seriously.

Grab an axe and take it to the Lie Machine -- all of it. Bust up the networks and newspaper chains (especially McClatchy, hit-men on the Tea Party people), and go after the NEA like you would a fire-ant pile. Bust it up, scatter it, break its hold on education forever and break its funding sources so it can't recuperate.

George W. Bush should have done all that in 2001, his first six months in office.

[IbJensen]

Gangsters is too polite a term for these evil enemies of America!

Imagine, a filthy pervert like Billy Goat attacking a true patriot like Congresswoman Bachman!

[Lakeshark]

I always thought what Clinton did in his linking McVeigh to the right wing and conservative distrust of government was the slimiest thing he did in his life.

Doing it again now reminds me of what a horrid person he is.

[a fool in paradise]

There has been open collusion between the DNC and MSM on a number of stories (including Foleygate,it came out in the subsequent congressional investigation because the MSM/DNC repeatedly said the GOP “knew and did nothing” whereas the MSM/DNC knew more, earlier, and made a pact to sit on it until October for political benefit).
