[YOu people must have hated the Bush years when the mildest of critics were called all kinds of names by a large number of right-wingees and Republicans. No memory at all? Convenient.]

I think the word is selective memory you're looking for, and you suffer an acute case of it. From movies of Bush being assassinated while still in office, to our military being called mercenaries by the media, to Hollywood and their incessant bashing of Conservative and military, to Bush and Cheney being called baby killers or "No blood for oil!", I guess your memory fogged?

No surprise being that you find profundity in meaningless cliches of "Yes, We Can!" and "Hope and Change!"

Start_Making_Sense:
I'm not ignoring you. I just think your premise is flawed because the majority of the Tea Party'ers are not extremists. Even here ---in Liberal California ---i know them and they are normal folks, small business owners, moms and dads, and even had a few physicians come in scrubs on their lunch break last week b/c they are so concerned. I watch Rachel Maddow, too, I know how they are portrayed, but i've covered many of their Events now in real life, and the "crazy"/"Extreme" label just doesn't fit. Passionate, yes; crazy, no.
Besides, this post is initially about a former President using a Day of Memoriam as a Political football - something which is beyond the pale and offensive to the many on this thread who were there. Thank you.

Beautifully written. I am heartened that so many have not forgotten the events that led to OKC or the victims.

Actually there has been quite a bit of violence associated with the TEA Parties and conservatism in general. Of course the violence came from the leftbut, what the hey, it's still violence.

Perhaps Bubba and Obowma should look a little closer to home.

I'll try again - criticizing the extreme of the extremists is not the same as stifling dissent.

Clinton did what? Tea Partiers are equated with the type of evil which produced the Oklahoma City bombings? Why does anyone listen to anything this man has to say? I felt that Clinton was an embarassment to the nation when he was president, and he continues that same tradition today. Tea Partiers are the antithesis of the the OK City bombers, yet Clinton and the democrats must say something so that they can justify marginalizing Tea Parties. He is merely toeing the party line, which Obama has continued to clearly draw, including his remarks in Miami, scoffing at Tea Partiers and commenting that they should be thanking him. The Democrats and Obama neither want to, or can, understand what the Tea Partiers are about, because it would not fit in with the Democratic dependency and power meme. But to equate the patriotic tea partiers with the terrorists is unforgiveable, yet unsuprising. I hope that it infuriates every Tea Partier and inspires them to each find a least one more friend to join the movement, and become even more engaged in the process of throwing these idiots out of office in November 2010.

As a fellow Oklahoman, that day will indeed live in infamy for all of us. Thank you for the post.

If I ever doubted that Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, MSNBC and Rachel Maddow were beneath contempt, I don't now.

The fact that anyone would attempt to stifle political dissent by equating Timothy McVeigh to anyone who dared question the wisdom and policy of Barack Obama is reprehensible. The fact that they would use the 15th anniversary date of the OKC bombing to do so is retching.

And it was 4 years later, under the Clinton Administration that the marshals who shot young Sammy Weaver in the back received medals of valor for the incident. That was the Marshall service's F.U. to those who said their behavior had inspired McVeigh. So if Clinton's comments encourage extremist attacks on Tea Partyers, you can bet he won't acknowledge responsibility.
