Mark Penn: Obama Needs An Oklahoma City Event
Mediaite ^ | 11/5/2010 | Tommy Christopher

Posted on 01/08/2011 3:44:17 PM PST by FReepaholic

Mark Penn, Democratic strategist and former chief strategist for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, let out the kind of doozy, on last night’s Hardball, that must be seen to be believed. Comparing Obama’s current situation to the aftermath of the 1994 “Republican Revolution,” Penn noted that it took the Oklahoma City tragedy in order for President Clinton to “reconnect” with the American people.

He then stepped off the cliff by saying that President Obama needed a “similar event” to achieve that reconnection following his party’s midterm losses.

This was in November but I'm reposting this in light of the attempt by the Left to blame the Tea Party and other Conservatives for the Giffords shooting today.

If you recall, immediately after the Oklahoma City bombing, Bill Clinton blamed right-wing talk radio and Rush Limbaugh.

The Dems are getting their butts kicked in the political arena just like in 1994 prior to OKC. Look for them to jump at anything to rev up their base.

Wikipedia, the Leftist online encyclopedia, already has Jared Loughner/Jared Loughner listed on their “List of assassinations and assassination attempts” page. Almost like they saw it coming...

Many people, including me, think there was definite Arab involvement in the OKC affair. Eyewitnesses said that McVeigh was with a stocky dark man and an OKC reporter had the whole thing nailed down. Unfortunately, her evidence died an orphan. The federal government got McVeigh executed in record time. Clinton could have orchestrated it but at the least he hid the Arab involvement just as he did in Flt. 800 and several other things. Clinton was as bad as Obama and we had better remember that as the MSM plays up Hillary.

Obama needs a Reichstag fire.

Rush Limbaugh now has his revenge for Chris Matthews' accusation that Rush precipitated OK City.

In this case, though, we know it's true that Matthews encouraged this puke to go out and shoot this woman and a federal judge.

They’re disappointed the shooter didn’t fit their template but I know who these twisted people are like the back of my hand. Mark my words: they will do anything to discredit conservatism.

The rage of the Left’s kooks is quite palpable.

Why does anyone pay any attention to this loser, Mark Penn?

He’s a has-been who has been relegated to the cesspool of history so let him sink and stink forever.

The same for Krugman, Addled-brained Chris Matthews, crazy Lawrence O’Donnell, wacked out Obersturmfurher Olbermann, Perky& PRetty Katie Couric (eye-candy without a brain), Norah O’Donnell (another brainless pretty face), Brian (I’m so pretty) Williams, and Helen Thomas (who now writes for the Falls Church leftist rag newspaper headed by a gay, hate-filled leftist named Bennett or Benedict or something like that).

It seems that quality, honesty, integrity and objectivity have been thrown out of the journalism business by the Mainstream Media and replaced with pure, unadulterated Leftist Crap.

This is one of the reason’s why America is in such trouble.

November 2012 can’t come fast enough for me.

Remember Rahm Emanuel’s political dictum: Vote early, and vote often. That’s the Chicago way. Make it your way!

They are following the same playbook.
Obama is going to try and stage-manage this, but it won’t work.
We don’t have a dog in this fight. This murderer was upset with his own party’s extreme tendencies and took matter into his own hands.

Eric Holder can try and call it domestic terrorism, but we already know he lies and will be thrown out of office before O runs for re-election.

I remember endless plane crashes due to ‘faulty’ mechanics or some such nonsense when Clinton was in power. Squashing terrorism at every chance until it couldn’t be squashed any more.

If 9/11 had happened on his watch, he’d have made damn sure Limbaugh was assigned the blame and drummed out of business and made broke in legal fees.
