Prayers for her and the family. A horrible thing to have gone through.

I notice that the article makes no mention of Bill Clinton's role in these government-sponsored murders, but continues to try to shift the blame to unidentified right-wing hate groups.

And wouldn't you know that they quote the Southern Poverty Law Center as their prime authority on that:

"Ruby Ridge was the opening shot of a new era of anti-government hatred not seen since the Civil War," said Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which keeps tabs on hate groups.

No, sorry, the SPLC is one of the worst hate groups on the planet.

Ruby Ridge happened in 1992. William Jefferson Clintom was inagurated in January, 1993.

“I notice that the article makes no mention of Bill Clinton’s role in these government-sponsored murders, but continues to try to shift the blame to unidentified right-wing hate groups.”

The government sponsored murders at Ruby Ridge were under the administration of one George Herbert Walker Bush, famous for denouncing Reagan’s economic plans as “voodoo economics”, promising “Read my lips, no new taxes”, and later proclaiming a “New World Order”.

You are probably thinking of the government sponsored murders at Waco, Texas, which did indeed take place during the administration of William Jefferson Blythe Clinton.

One common factor between the two government sponsored murders is Lon Tomohisa Horiuchi, a graduate of West Point and former Army officer, who later trained for the FBI to become a sniper, which is sort of like sending someone to medical school and surgical training so they can butcher meat. It was Horiuchi’s shot that blew apart Vicki Weaver’s head while she was armed with a 10 month old infant.

Know your enemies. All of them.

That statement needs correcting:

Ruby Ridge was the opening shot of a new era of anti-CITIZEN hatred not seen since the Civil War Reconstruction in the southern states.

That's better - much more truthful.

“anti-government hatred not seen since the Civil War,”

Most people in the South LIKED President Davis. What was that SPLC guy talking about?;)

Why should they? Bill Clinton was merely a candidate in August '92.

Could it be that Bill Clinton had ZERO to do with this. What makes you blame him? He was busy campaigning for President which he won in November 1992. What on Earth are you talking about????????????
