RUSH: Audio sound bite No. 4. David Rodham Gergen last night on CNN. Anderson Cooper 360 is the program.
Question: The synagogue killer was motivated by anti-Semitism, but also this obsession on the caravan and invaders echoing language the president himself used. It doesnt seem like the president stepped back from that. If anything, the presidents pushing the gas pedal down further. What is not mentioned here? That the synagogue shooter hated Trump, considered Trump a sellout, precisely because he has a daughter that converted to Judaism. Thats not mentioned. Nope! Trump is ratcheting down. Hes pedal-to-the-metal.
And heres the opinion of David Rodham Gergen
GERGEN: We ought to go back and think about, yknow, how Bill Clinton went to Oklahoma City in 1995 and healed. He didnt go after the terrorists. He didnt sort of make a, you know beat the drums, uh, to go out and stalk the terrorists all around the country. He tried to heal, and it was a turning point in his presidency. He was embattled when he went to Oklahoma City. That turned his presidency around in a very positive direction.
RUSH: This is how history revisionism works. Theres David Rodham Gergen. He says, Bill Clinton went to Oklahoma City in 1995 and healed. He didnt go after the terrorists. He didnt sort of make a, you know beat the drums, uh, to go out and stalk the terrorists Well, lets go back and listen to what Gergen thinks was Bill Clintons finest moment, April 24th, 1995, in Minneapolis.
CLINTON: We hear so many loud and angry voices in America today whose sole goal seems to be to try to keep some people as paranoid as possible and the rest of us all torn up and upset with each other. They spread hate. They leave the impression that by their very words, that violence is acceptable. You ought to see Im sure you are now seeing the reports of some things that are regularly said over the airwaves in America today. (slamming podium) It is time we all stood up and spoke against that kind of reckless speech and behavior.
RUSH: Right. Now, who could he have been talking about? Its 1995, theres no Fox News, no blogosphere. Hes talking about airwaves. This is where he attempted to blame me. Everybody knew it at the time, and it was even applauded by some. Not everybody. But the White House felt some heat and they had to issue a correction and say, No, we were talking about the Michigan Militia Shortwave Radio Network. Thats what we meant by angry voices on the right.' The Michigan militia was a media creation!
I mean, there might have been some guys hiking around up in the woods with some guns wearing camo gear and the media had video of it, but the Michigan militia was a nonfactor in any of this, when you get right down to it. But theres Clinton zeroing in on it when his attempt to blame me bombed out. But you see, Clinton? He didnt do that. No! He was trying to heal. He didnt go after anybody. He didnt go after the terrorists. He didnt sort of beat the drums and stalk the terrorists all over the place. He tried to heal. It was a turning point.
This is, again, history revisionism extraordinaire.
One more bite.
This is Wolf Blitzed and Jeffrey Toobin last night on Wolf Blitzers show on CNN.
BLITZER: I was the White House correspondent for CNN 1995 in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing. Bill Clinton was president. He went to Oklahoma City with He delivered a beautiful speech and was very, very normally received. There were no protesters going on. Jeffrey, you remember those days.
TOOBIN: And how about, you know, President Obama, who unfortunately had all these mass shootings on his watch in South Carolina, in Connecticut. And, you know, he led the grieving in all those places. Frankly wouldnt even occur to me that there would have been protests.
RUSH: See. So now there were no protests for Obama and there was no protests when Clinton went out but theres all kinds of protests when Trump goes out. Meaning what? That Trumps guilty! That Trumps at fault, that the protesters are right. Why werent there any protests back in those days? Well, take a look at who the victims were, number one. But why were there no protests? Precisely because the left very rarely protests its own people. They protest for no reason at all other than a simple excuse for it. But it also was a different time. Were talking about over 25 years ago, 22, 23 years ago. And it was a much quieter and different time. It was just getting ratcheted up to where were headed.
I often wondered who the caller was
Total BS. Clinton blamed “right wing radio” implying Rush Limbaugh and others.
...Bill Clinton went to Oklahoma City in 1995 and healed. He didnt go after the terrorists...
NO HE DIDN’T.
I GOT 2 DEAD FIREMAN FRIENDS, OVER 2,000 OTHERS DEAD AND TWO BELOVED BUILDINGS GONE TO PROVE IT.
Right before the OKC bombing occurred, Donna Shalala created a national uproar by stating that we didn’t send our best and brightest to Viet Nam. The Clinton administration was already circling the bowl and was now picking up steam. Then just like that ... OKC ...
He sure didn't. They bombed the World Trade towers and Clinton did nothing, even though they promised to bring the towers down. Then they attack the USS Cole and again Clinton did nothing.
Yep the Oklahoma City bombing helped Clinton, politically speaking.
If the press wants to blame trump for recent events due to rhetoric then they can easily blame Clinton for Oklahoma as the mountain men were ticked, not by words, but actions of his admin on ruby ridge and waco, both of which went out of control over the fed fear of white guys with guns.
Ruby Ridge happened on GHWB's watch, in August 1992.
After OKC Clinton blamed talk radio
After Orlando Obama blamed Christian opposition to same sex marriage
After Ft Hood Obama did all he could to deny it was terrorism and referred to it as workplace violence
Same with the San Bernadino Christmas massacre
After the Charlie Hebdo massacre Obama refused to stand with other nations’ leaders and instead blamed the victims for provoking the attack
“Ruby Ridge”
[Head slap] Yes, you’re right. The bombers did include that in their “grievances” with gov.
Remind me again, WHY did Reagan hire this schlub?
When Gergen gurgles his last breath, the world will become a very slightly better place.
Probably the guy flying the private prop plane who got an image of their staging area. He saw it from the air and took images. Somehow Rivero posted the image. It was a sight about a few acres in size. Perfectly square with raised walls or hills. Insides only visible by air.
re: “ Rush had a caller who told him that something terrible is going to happen the next day.”
In those days I used a 7” Dokorder 7100 reel-reel recorder to tape Rush each day so when I got home from work I could listen to Rush, and I recall no such warning ... I didn’t start making cassette copies of Rush until a few years later (around the time Monica surfaced) so, no tapes from those days.
Two scurvy politicians ....... ignore anything that makes THEM look bad.

Obama had the chutzpah to claim that there were no acts of terrorism while he was president
Obama lives in a self-contained world ....only he exists.
And in his cockeyed mind, he is perfect.
