Dems Urge Obama to Pin Shooting on Tea Partiers
FoxNews ^ | jan 9, 2010 | FoxNews

Posted on 01/09/2011 2:31:35 PM PST by Innovative

The references to the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995 echoed in other ways. That horror, which killed 168 people including many children, helped then-President Bill Clinton stigmatize extreme anti-government rhetoric and re-energize his presidency at a time when Newt Gingrich and conservative Republicans were riding high in Congress.

One veteran Democratic operative, who blames overheated rhetoric for the shooting, said President Barack Obama should carefully but forcefully do what his predecessor did.

"They need to deftly pin this on the tea partiers," said the Democrat. "Just like the Clinton White House deftly pinned the Oklahoma City bombing on the militia and anti-government people."

But once again we find an ultra liberal progressive, marxist, socialist kook who suffers from the cancer they all have, brain damage

The list of left-wing assassins, bombers, terrorists, and wannabe's is getting longer.

Lee Harvey Oswald

Bill Ayers

Bernadine Dohrn

Ted Gold

Kathy Boudin

Donald DeFreeze ("Cinque"), Camilla Hall, and the SLA

Ted Kasczynski <sp?>

Arthur Bremer

Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme

Susan Atkins

Huey Newton

Rose Shakur

..... and now this guy.

That Arthur Bremer, who shot George Wallace, was a liberal was suppressed for years. I didn't find out about it until about 15-20 years ago. That's American liberal journalism for you.

Dems are beyond pathetic and beneath contempt for trying to use a tragedy that has nothing to do with politics on the tea party and Republicans to silence opposing voices.

Better watch out tea partiers. You...granny waving the flag - we're watching you. Hey you - small business owner, and the football moms over there..... we're coming for you.

They are pathetic alright.

Not an ounce of compassion for the victims of this monster, they just salivated over the political points they could score.

Media witch Mara Liasson put on a show like that on Washington Week the Friday of the Littleton (Columbine H.S.) shooting. The bodies were still cooling, but she lit up like a Christmas tree, glowing about how the liberals could use Columbine to pass all sorts of anti-gun owner legislation. She was completely sicko in her power-junkie preoccupation.

That was 1999, when Clinton was still in office.

There was a woman - I think a reporter - who gathered all the info - well documented - but the FBI shut her down.

It has been clear for a long time that “Democrat/liberal/progressives” HATE “teabaggers/conservatives/Republicans”, and will do and say absolutely anything to demean, impugn, belittle, diminish those they see as their political enemies.

This shooter was a nutcase whose politics were probably as disjointed as the rest of his mental framework. Doesn’t matter. It is an excuse. Any excuse.

Clinton did it ... made false associations and accusations, and the left views him as a hero for it.

Obama will too, along with the slurping lapdogs of the media.

There is no end to how far they will go to ultimately silence their political opposition.

FReeper OKCsubmariner, if my memory serves, has a ton of information on the OKC bombing and its ramifications.

Ringing your pinger, OKC.

And “Carol Howe” (ATF informant) who testified in the Terry Nichols trial was another inside source that appears to have been silenced by threat.

Limbaugh will hang this on the democRATS. Tomorrow’s show will be a doozy. He’s going to put the fault for this mess squarely where it belongs, on Markos Moulitsas, the DUmp, Olberman, Mathews, Raechel Mad-dyke, Sergent Schultz, Howard Dean, Al Gore, et. al.

The Tea Party is clean here, and they know it.

It is difficult to read that book and buy into the government’s position that McVeigh and his buddy acted alone.

They don’t like to let a good crisis go to waste.

Wasn’t it Clinton who decided everyone should have a computer. I hope
they got them and have internet access.

They’ll be able to see just where the problem lies and not have to rely on the leftist crap spewing as usual.

I agree with your whole post about this shooting being “manufactured.” It's just my “spidey sense” that tells me that at the present moment. I can't now give you facts that make me think so, but I'm confident that we will know in the future.

I base my sense on the liberal demoncrats past history of never letting a crisis go to waste or manufacturing a crisis when they're in trouble, i.e. the bailouts, etc.

I'm confident that we will know more in the future because this isn't the 60’s or even the 90’s with JFK, etc. when the dems and their minions could cover up so much. We have the Internet now, and folks are just not going to back down on their ability to petition the government for redress of grievances. We're not going to be quiet or go away, because some liberal dem and especially the liberalest of all, Obama, tries to blame us for violence coming out of their camp. We will not be intimidated anymore. Too bad our leaders, like Boehner, can be intimidated. I agree shutting down Congress next week was unnecessary and looks mighty weak on his part. Let's write him and asked him why he caved. There's so much more to this than we know now.

I never “bought” that he acted alone nor that there was no middle east connection. Feel more strongly about that now.

I lived just outside of OKC from 1989-1996. Jayna Davis was local news there, then.

I heard Carol Howe discuss her work for the ATF and she was convincing to me. Reports came out that she was silenced, threatened with personal prosecution, if she spoke more than allowed about the subject.

Makes you skeptical about what has just happened. The current Lefties in power are “capable” of anything.

In this case in AZ, I do believe he is a real nutcase. The question is: Is he simply a useful idiot. Probably.

Had to rethink my dates.

I was in Piedmont just outside OKC form 1989-1995 (not 1996).

I've met Mr. Caddel and I attended a gathering some years back where he spoke on a panel. That was before his Grecian Formula days, LOL.

Anyway, I decided long ago that he is probably one of only a handful of Democrats I would spend a minute talking or listening to. If he was the one coming up with this theory, or idea, I would be shocked. But hell, you never know.
