I've read several comments and blogs at various sites, regarding Bill's statements. Most were not happy with Bill. While I think he could have toned down the statement about OK bombing a bit, he was referring to the CLIMATE of the country and the anger that existed. He was in a really good position to know what was happening at the time, since he was POTUS then. I don't find his statement that outrageous.

He said the enthusiasm for the Tea Party is "within bounds". He specifies the kind of accountability that groups such as this should demand, inviting a close scrutiny of government's fiscal practices - a good thing, it seems to me.

I particularly agree with this statement:
"But when you get mad, sometimes you end up producing the exact opposite result of what you say you are for."

What I am afraid of is that in their eagerness to join something that is taking on the current administration, some people may overlook the flaws in the philosophy and actions of the movement they're joining. JMO

Obviously, the current administration needs to be taken on and called out for some of the policies it has thrust on America. But, a swing too far to the other direction may result in an outcome that is unsatisfactory, as well.

Jen I agree with a lot of what you say but Bush wasn't far right he was actually a liberal fically most of the far right are fically conservative.  Bush was like Obama trying to please everyone and he ended up pleasing no one. 
Bill remembers well what led to the OK bombing and that was the anger at Bill Clinton.

You might remember when Oklahoma happened they said it was only the beginning. I remember when all the farmers lost their farms. It was because 90% of the land was being
dictated to by the 10% of urban people who knew nothing of their way of life. Updating that
to jobs being outsourced, and just last week Obama outsourcing NASA to China and Russia,
people here are going to have to hitchhike to the moon.

When people lose their jobs, lose their homes, lose their nest egg, then we will have more
violence, because they have nothing else to lose. Look around you, in your workplace in your
schools, in your own family, and ask why is everbody on anti-depressants? This disease is spreading in the mind, and people are over stressed. Throw in a huge economic mess, and
a few wars, and everybody distrusting the government, and the media labeling people as
extremist , well you'll get some angry people.

I'm angry, looks like to me that Saturday night is gang night to rape girls, while people
stand by and do nothing, and our officials have nothing to say about this violence.

I went to a tea party, I didn't join up, but the group broke into various action groups, one
was about local issues, and showing up at the next council meeting was on the agenda,
why, because the County is trying to take money from the Wind Mill project that is suppose
to go to the towns living nearby, not to those who live 150 miles away. And I couldn't agree more with them, and rural Americans need their support.

How well I remember being a member of the Moveon organization, and how well I remember they endorsed
Obama and not Hillary.  Nobody put moveon under the microscope, like they are doing to the tea party.

It was on this day, 19 Apr 1775, that the farmers fired shots that was heard around the world.
