Despicable — the Democrat party has revved past their previous evidence-free accusations of spitting, bogus racial epithets, and costumed left-wing infiltrators bearing racist signs at tea parties. Now, they’ve dusted off a former POTUS and let him go liberal-wild in the New York Times attacking tea party attendees and talk radio… just don’t let any light fall on his own administration for being in charge during the Oklahoma City bombing, al-Qaeda bombings of US embassies in East Africa, or the government’s bloodbath at Waco (on Clinton’s watch), or the current administration for… uh, anything. Let’s boogie with the bogus — Democrats feel they can capriciously speculate and don’t have to produce a drop of proof when bulldog attacking and comparing millions of law-abiding Americans at TEA protests to a murderous mad man who killed 168 people in Oklahoma City 15 years ago.

Heinous lies held together with faux outrage and a brain-dead fawning media are good enough for liberals.

Remember, this is Mr. William Jefferson “I did not inhale and I did not have sex with that woman… or THAT woman… or THAT woman” Clinton we’re talking about here. Slick Willy has always been a sleazoid of a sex maniacal liar — never faced a problem at home or in the Oval Office that he couldn’t charm his way out of, nor spin around with a gleaming lying-straight-to-your-face smile. Just ask Hillary.

Excellent appraisal of Clinton’s attacks by Debra J. Saunders at the San Francisco Chronicle, SFGate: Exploiting the Oklahoma City bombing.

Carl Hulse at Sweetness ‘n Light takes former Pres. Clinton to task for his New York Times hit piece… Clinton Compares Tea Party To McVeigh:

The Democrats spring propaganda offensive continues apace. Indeed, they are rolling out their biggest gun.

From a delighted New York Times:

WASHINGTON — With the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing approaching, former President Bill Clinton on Thursday drew parallels between the antigovernment tone that preceded that devastating attack and the political tumult of today, saying government critics must be mindful that angry words can stir violent actions.

In advance of a symposium on Friday about the attack on the Oklahoma City federal building and its current relevance, Mr. Clinton, who was in his first term at the time of the bombing, warned that attempts to incite opposition by demonizing the government can provoke responses beyond what political figures intend.

“There can be real consequences when what you say animates people who do things you would never do,” Mr. Clinton said in an interview, saying that Timothy McVeigh, who carried out the Oklahoma City bombing, and those who assisted him, “were profoundly alienated, disconnected people who bought into this militant antigovernment line.”

The former president said the potential for stirring a violent response might be even greater now with the reach of the Internet and other common ways of communication that did not exist on April 19, 1995, when the building was struck.

“Because of the Internet, there is this vast echo chamber and our advocacy reaches into corners that never would have been possible before,” said Mr. Clinton, who said political messages are now able to reach those who are both “serious and seriously disturbed.” He will be delivering the keynote address Friday at an event about the Oklahoma City attack being sponsored by the Center for American Progress Action Fund and the Democratic Leadership Council.

Goodness knows that the Center For American Progress, which has created and funded countless ultra radical leftwing groups would never want to whip up people who are “seriously disturbed.”

Mr. Clinton pointed to remarks like those made Thursday by Representative Michele Bachmann, the Minnesota Republican, who when speaking at a Tea Party rally in Washington characterized the Obama administration and Democratic Congress as “the gangster government.”

“They are not gangsters,” Mr. Clinton said. “They were elected. They are not doing anything they were not elected to do.” …

Really? We thought they were elected to represent their constituents.

For the most part, their constituents have opposed ‘healthcare reform’ and a host of other recent legislation.

Mr. Clinton said his intent was not to stifle debate or muzzle critics of the government but to encourage them to consider what repercussions could follow. He acknowledged that drawing the line between acceptable discourse and that which goes too far is difficult but that lawmakers and other officials should try.

“Have at it,” he said. “You can attack the politics. Criticize their policies. Don’t demonize them, and don’t say things that will encourage violent opposition.”

Goodness knows Mr. Clinton has never demonized his opponents. Just ask Ken Starr. Or Robert Bork. Or Newt Gingrich.

Or anyone who ever stood up to him or his policies.

In the period before the Oklahoma City bombing, there was a growing antigovernment sentiment being expressed through a militia movement and anger at government officials, some of it in the wake of the assault on the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco, Tex., on April 19, 1993. Mr. Clinton recalls that he and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, were characterized by Newt Gingrich, then the Republican Congressional leader, as the enemies of ordinary Americans…

There he goes again, demonizing Mr. Gingrich. In fact, the ex-law professor and disbarred lawyer, Mr. Clinton, is practically accusing the then Speaker of the House as being an accessory to murder before the fact.

But with the Clintons it has always been ‘don’t do as I do, do as I say.’

Mr. Clinton said the impact of political attacks could be dangerously amplified at the moment because of the economic upheaval that had left many Americans frightened and suffering. “A lot of people are just raw,” he said.

Is there any doubt that the Democrats are wishing with all their might for some kind of domestic terrorist event. Indeed, they probably see it as the only way they can preserve their majorities in Congress.

Talk Show Host Rush Limbaugh: Oklahoma City Bombing, Waco, Clinton’s Maligning of Tea Partiers & Talk Radio | Broadcast April 19, 2010

Here’s part of the transcript from Rush Limbaugh’s EIB radio broadcast last week on April 16, 2010… the day after the national Tax Day Tea Party events, he lets Clinton have it for his maligning of tea partiers and talk radio, while pussyfooting around Islamic terrorists.

Clinton Links Talk Radio, Tea Parties to Non-Existent Terrorism
April 16, 2010

RUSH: Let’s go back, April 24th, 1995, Mississippi, Minnesota.

CLINTON 1995: We hear so many loud and angry voices in America today whose sole goal seems to be to try to keep some people as paranoid as possible and the rest of us all torn up and upset with each other. They spread hate. They leave the impression that — by their very words, that — violence is a acceptable. You ought to see — I’m sure you are now seeing the reports of some things that are regularly said over the airwaves in America today. It is time we all stood up and spoke against that kind of (pounding podium) reckless speech and behavior.

FOLLOWERS: (applause)

RUSH: That was Bill Clinton, blaming me for the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19th, 1995. Yesterday we had the tea parties, and the Drive-By Media (I’m sure to its great chagrin) is filled with stories about how festive and how peaceful and how nonthreatening all of the tea parties were. The effort to infiltrate these tea parties fizzled. They have stories on that that they probably do not like having to report. And, ladies and gentlemen, it’s very clear that these citizen uprisings — genuine grassroots citizen’s uprisings — are far more powerful than an attempt to drum up fake opposition to them from the White House. Yet, Bill Clinton is back in the game, expanding that threat via this sound bite.

CLINTON 2010: There was this rising movement in the early nineties that was basically not just a carefully orchestrated plot by people of extreme right-wing views but one that fell into fertile soil because there were so many people for whom the world no longer made sense. They wanted a simple, clear explanation of what was an inherently complex, mixed picture full of challenges that required not only changes in public policy, but personnel conduct and imagination about the world we were living in. So demonizing the government and the people that work for it sort of fit that — and there were a lot of people who were in the business back then of saying that the biggest threat to our liberty and the cause of our economic problems was the federal government itself.

RUSH: So there you have it: Bill Clinton once again trying to rebirth his empty threat from 1995. He starts out tracing the plot that started in the eighties to “demonize government.” I have a question. We have two more sound bites of the president here specifying right-wing talk radio, but I have a question: How come we’re supposed to draw (on the basis of no evidence), a connection between conservatism and terrorism, conservative ideology and terrorism? Where is that connection? Yet we are told we must reject, despite tons of evidence, the connection between Islamist ideology and terrorism. So we can’t call Islamist fundamentalists “terrorists.” We can’t even use the word. But we can have ex-presidents and current presidents running around trying to associate conservatives with nonexistent terrorism at peaceful tea parties. Somebody needs to explain this to me.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Bill Clinton. By the way, these statements were this morning at the big left-wing think tank, The Center for American Progress. So we played the sound bite where he starts out tracing the “plot” that started in the eighties to demonize government. Next sound bite, Clinton says that right-wing talk radio has made money off of anger, aided by the Internet.

CLINTON 2010: When I became president, it’s hard to remember this, there were only 50 sites on the World Wide Web. Among those who first saw its potential and made use of it were those who used the Internet to do all kinds of interesting things, including share information on how to make bombs. We didn’t have blog sites back then, so the instrument of carrying this forward was basically the right-wing radio talk show hosts. They understood that emotion was more powerful than reason. They got much bigger listenership and more advertisers and more commercial success if they kept people in the white heat. For 99% of them, it was just that: Turn on the radio, listen to somebody say something you agree with, vent your anger.

RUSH: They just can’t get away from it. We are living in their heads rent free. We are in their heads and on their minds. They — and I’m going to throw they in there — are out to destroy Western civilization, folks. Why do you think the tea party people are so reviled? Why is it that we can sit there and accuse nonviolent tea party people of committing terrorist acts? I mean that’s what Clinton’s doing. He’s predicting that tea party people are going to blow up a federal building again, and in the process…. I’m going to state right now: If there is a future incident such as Oklahoma City, the blame is squarely Clinton’s on the shoulders of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, who I’m sure is coordinating Clinton’s appearance on this.

Bill Clinton, with the sound bite you just heard just gave the kooks out there an excuse to be violent. He just offered them an opportunity to be violent — and lest we forget, the politics of the militia members that the FBI took down recently: One was a registered Democrat; the rest were not affiliated by party. Of course the New York Times has reported national security secrets. They are responsible for any terror attack on this country. They have published all kinds of battle plans. They have given up our military secrets in Iraq and Afghanistan and yet they sit here, Clinton and Obama, and try to blame me and us on the radio for something that has not happened, while setting the stage for it to happen? And let’s not forget this. It’s very important.

This is the president who pardoned and released a bunch of Puerto Rican terrorists on his last week in office. The FALN gang. He also pardoned the Weather Underground terrorists — and he’s now lecturing us on violence that hasn’t happened, a peaceful tea party movement. We cannot even say “Islamic” and “terrorists” in the same sentence! We cannot associate radical Islam with terrorism but the president can go out and Obama can go out and try to associate the tea party — genuine, peace-loving, middle-American citizens of this country — with future acts of terrorism?

The tea parties, you know why they’re hated? I’ll tell you why they’re hated. If you’re a member of a tea party, if you participated in one yesterday, why you’re hated, why you’re feared: This regime and the Clintons, everybody else knows that all you want to do is defend what’s left of this country and try to rebuild it.

That’s what they know you want to do. Frank Rich of the New York Times, he put it this way: “The America that is no more.” The tea party people want to revise the America that is no more. Now, we know that militant Islamists hate Western civilization — and by the virtue of some of the policies of this regime, we can figure that some aspects of Western civilization are not too pleasing to the people running the country right now. So here you have Clinton predicting something, ignoring violence that has happened and not being able to categorize it properly or identify the people engage in it but now trying to impugn the terrorist bunch, the tea party people with future acts of domestic terrorism.

This is really sick. It is despicable, and it’s indicative of a bunch of people who know that they are in the minority and can only hang on by virtue of authoritarian control over people. We have one more sound bite from our esteemed, distinguished former president.

CLINTON 2010: Doing things when you are mad is, by and large, a prescription for error. The only thing I can say is, “Have at it! Go fight. Do whatever you want! You don’t have to be nice but you’ve got to be very careful not to advocate violence or cross the line.” The Boston Tea Party involved the seizure of tea in a ship because it was taxation without representation. Because even the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which had been largely self-governing, had it stripped from them. This fight is about taxation by duly, honestly elected representatives that you don’t happen to agree with that you can vote out at the next election and two years after that and two years after that. That’s very different.

RUSH: Somebody tell me: What have I missed? Will somebody explain to me what tea party person has advocated violence? What have I missed here? What tea party has engaged in acts of violence? And, by the way, President Clinton, the fight is about taxation by duly honestly elect representatives that you don’t have to…? We have had a number of pieces of legislation including the recent health care bill rammed down our throat. This regime is governing against the will of the people. There’s nothing Democratic about what happened here. Bribes and kickbacks to members of Congress in order to get their votes for this thing? Let’s go back also to April 28, 2003, in Hartford, Connecticut. The tea party people are peaceful. They are festive. They’re described that way even by the regime’s media. Festive and good cheer. They’re not taunting anybody, they’re not menacing anybody; they’re not threatening anybody. All they are is dissenting. They disagree with the direction the regime is taking the country (plays Hillary Clinton sound bite in video below):

 

[...]

RUSH: Ken in Detroit, great to have you here. Hello.

CALLER: Yeah, Rush, I just wanted to let you know I attended a great tea party yesterday in the city of Plymouth, Michigan.

RUSH: Yeah.

CALLER: And the keynote speaker was a black Baptist minister, and his message was overwhelmingly supported, applauded, and we had a great time. And I think all these false accusations of racism and the tea party movement can be shredded, done away with.

RUSH: Oh, they were never accurate in the first place.

CALLER: Well, that’s why I said these were all false accusations.

RUSH: But they’re not going to stop. They’re going to keep on. That’s why Clinton is ratcheting it all up because nothing happened yesterday. Nothing that they wanted to happen, none of what they predicted that the tea party was capable of happened yesterday.

So what happens? Clinton comes out this morning and has to predict that because of me and others on the radio and now the Internet, and because of these uncontrollable mobs in the tea party, we can look forward to more domestic terrorism. I mean, it’s just infuriating to associate peaceful people with acts of terrorism that have not happened. And yet we cannot associate real terrorists with acts that have happened because we might offend them. But we can go ahead and offend decent American citizens who simply are trying to save what’s left of their civilization.

November is coming.
