Has the media made the link of the Gun Rallies and the Oklahoma Bombing yet.....?

Edited on Mon Apr-19-10 10:57 AM by FrenchieCat

or would that be too obvious for them to do?

I know I keep hearing about a Pew Poll of a large percentage not trusting the Government.....
I know that connection is being made faithfully.

1. Yes. I've heard both Monica Novotny and Tamron Hall make the link,

even asking people attending the rallies what they think about having the rallies on the same day as the OKC bombing.

3. McVeigh wins.

The asshats are saying that tim was right. Their "patriotic" gun protest is just as stupid as the "keep your government hands off my medicare" signs. The combined stupid at one of these rallies runs into deeply negative iq levels.

I keep hearing the links to OKC and Waco all day...

And I don't trust the US Gov't either, never have. I don't care if they wear a D or an R on their name badge... they're all corporatist. Some are just worse than others ;)

6. what gets me is

everyone makes the OKC connection but no one makes the one the gun ralliers were trying to honor
the anniversary of the battle of concord

kind of a watershed moment in american history and worth honoring

8. MSNBC spent a lot of the evening making that connecction

A program about Tim McVeigh and the Oklahoma bombing.

I cannot even stomach thinking about the bombing there, but while channel surfing, I heard fragments of talk: "McVeigh felt he was an average American, who the government couldn't relate to..."

So yes there are connections being laid and made for us.

In case, we cannot figure it out for ourselves.
