Bill Clinton: tea party protestors akin to Oklahoma City bombers

On the anniversary of the deadly bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, Bill Clinton (pictured) made an effort to make a political point.

From a piece he wrote for the New York Times:

“Fifteen years ago, the line was crossed in Oklahoma City. In the current climate, with so many threats against the president, members of Congress and other public servants, we owe it to the victims of Oklahoma City, and those who survived and responded so bravely, not to cross it again.”

At the link below, Greg Gutfeld responds to the Clinton inuendo:

Now, there's a lot wrong with that quote, but let's start with connecting a terrorist act to current unhappiness about the administration. That's low.

And then "we owe it to the victims," not to cross this line again. We? It's as if Clinton is asking all of us not to blow stuff up. Generally, people amenable to that weren't planning on it anyway.

And later, when Clinton mentions "contentious and "partisan" types, it only makes me think of... Clinton.

When his face wasn't red with lipstick, it was red with anger.

Mr. Gutfeld goes on to describe those tax day Tea Parties Clinton referred to by saying:

Those Tea Parties from last week? I've seen scarier office picnics.

So when Captain Busyhands talks about the "vast echo chamber," he's really talking about those like him who constantly smear their intellectual adversaries as violent racists.



The innuendo in Bill Clinton’s NYT article would have us believe the protestors above were no different than the Oklahoma City bombers!
