It really goes to show that you read the post and didn’t just come here to cut and paste your normal response whenever someone mentions McVeigh.

By the way, do you feel the appropriate number of babies have been killed in response to other babies dying, or should we alert people that you need a few more to really feel the world is balanced?

If Clinton/Reno hadn’t savagely killed all those babies McVeigh would never have been provoked. BTW. Ever heard of the Environmental Liberation Front? Black Panthers? Greenpeace? John Kerry spouting about killing women and children in the middle of the night? Animal Liberation Front? PETA? SEIU?

ummmmmm……….Weather Underground anyone?

Ah yes. The peacnik left indeed.

Kind of pathetic that the Tea Party folks scare you enough to induce this level of whining and hand wringing.

Reality. I know it bites, plutosdad, but it is your only chance. Embrace it. Learn it. Love it.

Is that not lying in order to foment hate?

A code pinker bit the finger off a couner protestor.

People showed up at anti war rallies with “Kill Bush” signs all the time, did any of you care? No you roll your eyes at it, but when it’s someone you disagree with “OMG theother side is crazy!!”

conservatives are the same way, speech is dangerous when it’s the “other”

The OKC bombing isnt that big a deal because more children died other places, anyway it is a big deal because the government did it.

Shortest Westbob

I believe you may want to read the Denialism blog. It can provide you with useful tools for critical evaluation of such claims.

And the difference is that the children at Waco were killed by taxpayers money(that’s my money and yours too).
However, the whole thing was some type of black-ops. There are too many loose threads pointing to that.
I know you don’t want to hear it, but They Are Lying to You About the Oklahoma City Bombing

Unfortunately the “righteous” will never admit to being wrong; they’re too keen to murder and go to heaven. These people are the equivalents to the foreign terrorists; the only distinction (which may not always be a distinction) is that they’re primarily white.
