So who will be Obama’s Vince Foster/Ron Brown?
The short response is: if you want to cite something from the Clinton years vis-à-vis my comments use the OKC bombing. Clinton attempted to tie the bombing to talk radio's "anti-government" rhetoric.

The Left to a large extent was able to tie the emerging modern conservative movement's criticism of government to the JFK assassination. Such phrases as "climate of hate" were oft used to describe modern conservatives. Prominent journalists such as James "Scotty" Reston decried the violence of the conservative movement.
Though I remember TV network news employees attempting to tie conservatives to violent extremists, I read about but I do not remember the specific case where Walter Cronkite attempted to tie Barry Goldwater to the JFK assassination.
Cronkite claimed that he asked Goldwater about the assassination and Goldwater replied with a brusque "No comment." Cronkite later apologized for the inaccurate report. I'd be very surprised if the story weren't true.
That's the kind of stuff I'm talking about.
Finally, IMO the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus/street rabble and their ideological issue just might not wait for a tragedy to happen -- that puts me close to a "truther" but there's a difference -- the murderous acts of groups like the Weather Underground were contemporaneous events for me.
