Former President Bill Clinton warned Friday that the anger some members of the Tea Party movement express about higher taxes and the size of government could feed the same right-wing extremism that led to the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, which killed 168 people and injured hundreds more.
"Before the bombing occurred, there was a sort of fever in America," Clinton said at a symposium commemorating the 15th anniversary of the bombing. "Meanwhile, the fabric of American life had been unraveling. More and more people who had a hard time figuring out where they fit in, it is true that we see some of that today."

On Friday, Clinton appeared to draw implicit parallels between Tea Partiers -- who are accused by some critics of espousing racist and radical views -- and the far-right militia veterans that carried out the 1995 attack on the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City.
"This Tea Party movement can be a healthy thing if they're making us justify every penny of taxes we raised and every dollar of public money we spend," Clinton said. "But when you get mad, sometimes you wind up producing exactly the reverse result of what you say you are for."

Another pathetic attempt by Clowntoon to stay relevant.
What is it with white liberals. They think they know best for the entire world and all they do is destroy it.
The perverted serial-rapist, socialist hillbilly incites anger in me as does his wife and Jimmy every time they publically open their mouths.
If he’d really like to fix all the issues here...just tell the senators and representatives that they’ve got 100 days a year to spend in DC...and then must return home.
Watch CNN, Newsweek, Fox News, MSNBC, ABC, and the rest start to sweat. Without the players on the field...there isn’t much to argue about. If you need to get something done...you either do it in 100 days or just wait till next year. Doesn’t leave much for argument, and folks start to calm down a bit.
Pfft ...
He will become as looney as Jimmah Carter.
Just part of the continuing coordinated attempt by democrats to suppress legitimate dissent. It may also be a revival of the old "vast right wing conspiracy" theme he and Hiliary employed in the past.
and the Brown Shirt Media carries this assholes message for him. What about Don Adams, or Kevin in Missouri, or the couple in New Orleans the other night. Oh, they are conservative. It is open fricking season on us. Well keep it up. Soon it will be open season on everybody.
Here’s the 1995 *FEVER* he is referring to:
In 1995, Monica Lewinsky, a graduate of Lewis & Clark College, was hired to work as an intern at the White House during Clinton’s first term, and began a personal relationship with him, the details of which she later confided to her friend and Defense department co-worker Linda Tripp, who secretly recorded their telephone conversations

By addressing us as the ‘right’ side, he’s admitting he’s on the left (?)
When discussing Oklahoma City, the ‘progressives’ always leave out the fact that the heinous act was committed on the anniversary of the Waco, Branch Davidian catastrophy.
Timothy McVeigh’s interview was on Rachael Maddow’s program. Anyone get any insight? I just couldn’t watch her disect motives.
I remember his wife’s screaming rant aboutfree speech several years ago when she was a Senator and the President was George Bush. Maybe he needs to listen to that; her angry rant was worse than anything I’ve heard from the TEA Party.
Bill believe the people of the United States should be like fraternity initiates, we should bend over, take the hit, and say Thank You Sir, may I have another?

I seem to recall that fever. I noticed a sudden attraction to overweight interns young enough to be my daughter. Mustn’t have had it as bad as old Clintoony though, it lasted about 3 nano-seconds for me.
This propaganda crap that libs are spouting is shooting them in the foot. Tea Partiers and everyone else are on to it and simply make fun of it.
The Oligarchy gets antsy...when the peons and peasants start getting uppity....they’re sending the Massa down out into the fields...to talk the boys down...
Yes, but as an intern, working pro bono, servicing - opps, serving her president in his time of need; does this mean that she was a patriot?
Increased Gov’t control could result in more Wacos.
