You thought Bill Clinton had run out of absurdities?

Bill Clinton:

There was a story in The New York Times today by a reporter who’s been positively – and I say that in a positive way – positively interested in this, drawing parallels to the time running up to Oklahoma City and a lot of the political discord that exists in our country today. That is a legitimate thing to do but I think it’s important before we overdo that to put this in the context of what happened to try to understand what happened then and what it meant for America and what it should mean to all of us in the way that we exercise our citizenship.

Before the bombing occurred, there was a sort of fever in America in the early 1990s.

My take:

If Clinton wants to make connections between horrendous events and antecedents, here are some that make a lot more sense than his Oklahoma City absurdity:

1. While in the White House Clinton turned the Oval Office into a personal bordello as murderous muslim fanatics in the Middle East plotted attacks against the United States, carrying one out at the World Trade Center in 1993.

2. In response to attacks and threats against the United States, Clinton made one attempt to strike directly at the terrorists. That attempt has been mocked as follows: "He fired a $2 million missile at a $10 tent and hit a camel in the ass."

A failed former leader with Clinton's record of ineptitude should think twice before accusing peaceful protesters who fear for their country of secretly plotting to do harm. It is Clinton's Democrat Party that poses the risk to the United States. It is the protesters who are trying to protect it.

That message will be delivered to Clinton in November in a way he will understand.
