The Sad Rhetoric of a Former President - Bill Clinton, Rush Limbaugh, Oklahoma City Bombing and Freedom of Speech



Just when I was starting to think Clinton was ok and the best Democratic President of my lifetime (ok given the competition Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama - he might still get it by default, but LBJ is looking a bit better...), Clinton uses the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing to connect voices like Rush, Glenn Beck and others as leading to violence, implying Rush's anti-Clinton administration views may have pushed Timothy McVeigh over the edge!  If anyone provoked McVeigh it would be the Clinton administration and specifically Janet Reno that at Waco (McVeigh's own reasoning for the attack) overreacted and caused a bad situation to become a tragedy as they forced a mad man to take deadly actions.


Let's step back and see that Rush and others. myself included are not seeking the violent overthrow of the US goverment, check the President's friends and advisors, they have experience (Bill Ayers).  As Rush so simply and articulately states our concern is restoring America to our founder's vision and to a place of honor on the world stage, not looking to take upon ourself forced unilateral demeaning that President Obama revels in daily.


And now to Rush's words:
