Don't blow up a building Militia dude, you will...

Seriously. Bill Clinton is noting parallels between today and 1995 when the polarized mood of right wing groups in the USA reached a crescendo with the Oklahoma City bombing:

Okay militia crazies, a word to the wise. Do NOT blow up a federal building. Why not? Because if you do, Bill Clinton is going to look really really smart.

Is that what you want?

Here is an actual quote from a recruitment flyer of our Local Aryans.

Missing! a future for our children.
Corrupt politicians and minority special interest groups have abducted their future.
There will be no future for them in the Third World society that our nation’s enemies are planning. Let us take back our country and make it a great, clean, decent and beautiful place once again.
For our children’s sake, won’t you stand up and join us.

Please tell me if this does not sound like what the TEaBaggers are saying too!!!

Do they mean clean like some of their front yards, I've seen?

Dorothy H. Apr 18, 2010, 8:44pm UTC

Or do they mean clean in a genocidal sort of way?

Chris Wiegard Apr 18, 2010, 9:40pm UTC

can't be the first, must be the second.

Clinton is right. The trend is in that direction. Due to the collapsing world economy, civil unrest is bound to increase. People need to have someone to blame for their feelings of helplessness as our standard of living inevitably declines.

The hate that is a major factor that fuels the Tea Party does have some eerie semiliarites to the hate behind the Oklahoma City bombing.

Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals;

"One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angels are on one side and all the devils on the other." (pps.127-134)

On the left it is not enough that people think differently but that they must be hated for thinking differently...be demonized for thinking differently.

and you are a prime example of that mindset, Dan, thanks.
