He was their forerunner.

Teabaggers are dilettantes. They have no real idea what they are talking about.

McVeigh was a homicidal idiot and a megalomaniac - he would not have been killing time throwing tea bags.

I know that everyone wants to try and paint these people as evil nut jobs, but most of them are simply Nutjobs. Most very harmless, deluded people that have picnics and love their grandchildren.

Trying to paint them all as people that would have no compunction about killing 168 people at once is beyond silly. For now at least....

a vaxer and whatever other excuse he could find to instill and reinforce deep seated fear and hatred
for all things government and/or brown or whatever.

People I though I knew a little bit and thought were somewhat level headed are beginning to scare me
with their "if I'm going down, I'm taking somebody with me " rants.

I thought he was just anti-government. Got any links that he was a Republican?

<snip>Although both Arizona and Michigan are host to militant anti-tax, anti-government, survivalist and racist groups, there is no evidence that he ever belonged to any extremist groups. He advertised to sell a weapon in what is described as a virulently anti-Semitic publication. After renting a Ryder truck that has been linked to the Oklahoma City bombing, McVeigh telephoned a religious community that preaches white supremacy, but no one there can remember knowing him or talking to him. His only known affiliations are as a registered Republican in his New York days, and as a member of the National Rifle Association while he was in the Army.

And what will the teabaggers turn out being?

He was too busy collecting his bomb making materials. Yes, the teabaggers are annoying but comparing them to a mass murderer is over the top.
