Former President Bill Clinton made a speech yesterday, in which he drew parallels between people attending TEA parties today, and the mass murderers who bombed the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995.
Clinton conveniently ignored the fact that TEA parties have been almost completely peaceful, with the only violence being cause by liberal activists against the TEA partiers.
He then performed a bizarre about-face, and in nearly the same breath spoke out against "demonizing" people!
You can't make this stuff up, folks......!

On the eve of the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, New York Times congressional reporter Carl Hulse, who has in the past proven quite willing to pass along unsubstantiated Democratic accusations of racial epithets hurled by Tea Party protesters, on Friday passed the mike to former President Bill Clinton, who slimed the movement as potentially inspiring similar terrorist acts in "Recalling '95 Bombing, Clinton Sees Parallels." ( http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/16/us/politics/16clinton.html?partner=rss&emc=rss )
The text box read: "Finding similarities in past and current antigovernment tones." For good measure, the Times included a photo of a mourner at the site commemorating victims of the Oklahoma City bombing.
Just last month, a Times photo caption linked peaceful Tea Party protesters to the 1960s domestic terrorists Weather Underground. Now the Times is going even further.
Hulse began:
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.
