Timothy McVeigh, the original Teabagger Terrorist

[Hugabear]

Poor Timothy McVeigh...16 years ahead of his time. His anti-government sentiments would have made him a natural leader for the teabagging movement today.

They can howl and scream all they want, but they OWN this shit. I don't want to hear them saying "those men do not represent our movement". Bull-fucking-shit. These are the same ones who want to label all Muslims as terrorists or potential terrorists. They want to label all Mexican immigrants as potential drug dealers and criminals.

1. I feel certain that McVeigh would have attended the health care

town halls of last summer, looking exactly like this:

3. Probably wearing camo, though, don't you think?

2. How did the OKC building blow out?

When the truck bomb was outside? How many bombs were found and disposed of inside the building?

14. The truck was parked in front of the Murrah building

almost to the center of the building.

At 9:02 a.m. CST, the Ryder truck, containing in excess of 4,800 pounds (2,200 kg)<57> of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, nitromethane, and diesel fuel mixture, detonated in front of the north side of the nine-story Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.<1> One third of the building was destroyed by the explosion,<58> which created a 30-foot (9.1 m) wide, 8-foot (2.4 m) deep crater on NW 5th Street next to the building.<59> The

The effects of the blast were equivalent to over 5,000 pounds (2,300 kg) of TNT,<51><63> and could be heard and felt up to 55 miles (89 km) away

There were no bombs found inside the building, I am no bomb expert but if there were bombs in the building the entire building would have collapsed.

4. Here is the deal

and our side better get this pretty quickly.

People in this country are angry over the actions of the government the past 10 years, actually, anger is a mild way to put it.

The bailouts of the top 1% while everyone else sinks on top of two wars that have not gone exactly well on top of a lot of other shit.

Now, when people are pissed off, and they see someone do something crazy at an institution they are not happy with, they aren't going to have a thoughtful rational response to the action.

8. Funny how the nutbags didn't get angry until Obama was elected.

But of course, their anger is righteous. LOL.

[AllentownJake]

10. I don't really care whether or not the anger is righteous or not

and it isn't coming from just the right, as any number of post on this site will demonstrate to you.

The anger is real, and our party while it is in power, better find a way to cool down the temperature otherwise, things are going to start to boil.

12. +1

You are correct. America is mad at the government - both sides - at all levels.

[cliffordu]

13. Yep - People who think "It can't happen here"

should look up what happened in Beruit right before they stopped calling it the Paris of the mideast.

People should look at what happened in Sarajevo......An olympic city in one decade and a slaughterhouse in the next.

Humans have a very thin veneer of civility. Peel it away and there's killing in the streets, beheadings in sports stadiums.

5. Yep. nt

6. Amen, amen, amen. nt

11. Time to start profiling! (so to speak)

People that openly show support for Stack's act of terrorism, should be immediately be placed on "no-fly lists" (I don't want on a plane with one of them) and Terror watch lists. Groups that openly promote his actions as "heroic" or "patriotic" and especially groups that call for more "patriotic acts" like Stack's, should come under swift and thorough investigation by the feds. Treasonous acts like the one in Austin, must be dealt with swiftly and harshly. Failure to do so will only serve to unleash many more such acts, and this cannot be allowed to happen! Funny how Napolitano nailed it on the head when she spoke of domestic terrorists being a more significant threat than foreign ones.

I wonder how many days it will be before the next attack. Note, I did say days, as I don't think it will take long at all. As much as I have always opposed the Patriot Act, it does exist, it was extended, and these are the people it should be targeting. Man... I never thought I'd find myself saying that. What a sad time for this great country.
