Ten Year Anniversary of the OKC Bombing

[Art Sandusky 0]

April 19th, tomorrow, is the 10th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing and the 11th anniversary of the fiery demise of David Koresh and the Branch Davidians.

 

So enjoy this conspiracy site!

(I actually find a lot of the stuff here to be compelling, though I accept the McVeigh/Nichols argument, kinda like how I am with Oswald shooting Kennedy)

It's been ten years? Damn, it seems like so much longer after 9/11 for some reason.

I think OKC really has one moment of harsh relevance for today's society, which is a reminder that the next terrorist making the headline news might not be able to be stopped by immigration controls or racial stereotyping.

I was home because that day featured afternoon college classes. I remember watching it unfold live on TV. Very disturbing...

Because we all know some white guy born in the US would never think about blowing up some building in a state in the middle of the country.

It was all Clinton's fault.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, I don't really believe that, but as per our usual banter in CE I'm trying to turn this into a republican vs democrat issue.

 

......you know, on second thought, maybe that's not such a good idea, because I can see Mike getting into a three page argument with someone over how it really WAS Clinton's fault.

...I think that was his point

I believe that Muslem terrorists were directly involved in the bombing. The militias aren't bright enough, to pull something like OKC off...without help.

The "connection" between al'Qaeda and the OKC bombers was only discovered after 9/11. That's too convenient.

[Vern Gagne 0]

How so? If people looked more in detail to the previous attacks, and all other attacks against the US were prepatrated by Islamic Terrorists, it's not suprising that the possibility, of Islamic terrorist played a rule in the largest terrorist attack on US soil, prior to 9-11.

[Guest MikeSC]

I'm just stunned that talk radio was responsible for the OKC bombings (according to Clinton) --- but Islam is NOT responsible for 9/11, whatsoever.

...Just reminding the kids what "politicizing a tragedy" actually looks like...

Okay guys, like, no. Don't turn this into that. There's a buncha other threads here.

There is a book by a guy involved in the investigation which included such facts as: Ten minutes before the explosion, a vehicle with several Middle-Eastern men sped away from the building.

Haha. Sorry, Kotz. Nothing is safe.

Did he also mention they were questioned by the authorities and susequently released?

He may have...I don't know. Did he?

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

I remember hearing of some Muslim connection, and I think it's quite possible that there could have been one. But so what -- it doesn't make the crime less/more worse...

Moving van full of fertilizer bomb is a white hillbilly move.

If there was a legitimate Middle Eastern tie to OKC, wouldn't it have been mentioned by somebody in the Government sometime in the last 3 years?

 

Just saying

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

I'm not trying to go off on some conspiracy here, but I think it would be possible for these rednecks to have had some connection to a terrorist group. I'm not saying we go out and get Habib or anything, but I wouldn't be shocked if they spoke with some terrorist cell or something.

 

Please tell me I'm not turning into INXS...

Exactly. It wasn't like muslims weren't on the terrorist watch list even back then.

Fertilizer was used in the first WTC bombing in 1993.

Well, a couple of people beat me in responding, but here goes.

Try and think, you Racist Liberal Moron.

 

McVeigh did have sympathies for Islamic Terrorists and said Heissein had a right to protect Iraq with WMD, BUT...

 

The Third man not official reported by the FBI, in the Clinton-Reno cover-up, was middle eastern. His name was Kusseini (spelling?), an Iraqis secret service agent . He later moved to Boston and worked in airline food services and placed the box-cutters on the high-jacked Jets used on 9/11.

 

Al-Quaida was and still is actively recruiting non-Middle Eastern terrorist in the USA. But I am sure you think our boarders should not be patrolled by the White Trash Minute Men to, too. Do you sympathize with the illegal aliens?

Subtle.

I gotta know, Smitty.

 

Does Tom Tomorrow ever actually get funny or witty --- or is he ALWAYS tedious?

Tom Tomorrow brings enough sarcasm to kill a moose. There's not much middle ground for TMW.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

I used to like Tom, but I haven't seen any of his work lately -- I'm guessing it's more of the same "OMG Bush is HITLER" drivel, but at least his will probably be good for a laugh or two...

Shouldn't sarcasm contain the mildest semblance of humor?

 

Jon Stewart is sarcastic, but he's funny on occasion.

 

Tom Tomorrow is like an illustrated version of Janeane Garofalo.

Not necessarily. Sarcasm and humor are often used in conjunction, but are not mutually inclusive.

Well, then that Tom Tomorrow is one sarcastic, but non-amusing, muthafucka.
