1995 was the 'old days' when more information was spread via talk radio rather than the 'net. I remember vividly in the weeks before OKC that something 'big' was going to happen. The really paranoid types thought Reno et.al. was doing something to go after the "militias" (I was never a part of that for the record).

Interestingly enough, they used OKC to spread alot of fear and panic about the growing movement of people who no longer trusted/were afraid of their government. Doesn't anyone else remember that for a year after OKC the word 'patriot' was used in a very negative fashion?
Fortunately folks have rekindled their patriotism after 9/11.

The Clinton administration just demonized talk radio, and the right wing after the bombing so that he could get reelected. It worked, anyone who was using the word patriotic was viewed with suspicion after he and Reno were through with their propaganda.
To this day the left refer to it as "hate radio" when that is absolutely a downright lie!
That the president of the US said that the OKC bombing saved his presidency should have made the citizens run like the wind from him, but instead they adored him and voted in droves to keep him in office for 4 more dangerous years.
