So the Clinton bunch "did" Ruby Ridge.

No, Ruby Ridge was a BATF screwup/malefaction...

No. Now both Rush and myself are being taken out of context. Rush was reeling off Clinton abuses. That was the context of Rush's "did" statement. The Clinton administration "did" promote Potts. The Clinton administration "did" prosecute Weaver and Harris. The Clinton administration "did" commit abuses about Ruby Ridge....the Clinton administration "did" Ruby Ridge".

....directed by Pres. Bush, as part of their continuing operation aimed at right-wing extremists in Idaho.

Yes, about the Ruby Ridge operation, it did occur on Bush I's watch. I said it did. As as far a direct involvement, you claim that Bush I was directly involved in the operation.

Document that.

I'm sorry, but you can't very well demand that anybody document their opinion, any more than you can document "So the Clinton bunch did Ruby Ridge."

Are you seeking to exonerate George H. W. Bush of the moral onus of the ATF's attempt to entrap Randy Weaver and their calling in the Marshal Service to confront him in arms, after ATF sought and obtained Weaver's indictment on a bad bill?

Are you trying to protect Poppy?

Is there some degree of responsibility of which Bush will have been relieved, if only the documents that tie him to the initiative to imprison right-wing extremists have been made to disappear, or never existed because his policy directives were sufficiently light-fingered in their communication to subordinates?

In very short words, why should I do your homework assignment? Which, as we both understand, is your invitation to me to shut the hell up about George Herbert Walker Bush, 41st President of the United States.
