How Slick Willie Exploited Oklahoma City
When the Obamunist lackeys who run the media attempt to paint Tea Partiers as potentially violent — despite the only violence coming from the left — they are implementing a strategy Dick Morris devised for their moral paragon Bill Clinton in the immediate aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing:
Morris told Clinton that “direct accusations” of extremism wouldn’t work because the Republicans were not, in fact, extremists. Rather, Morris recommended what he called the “ricochet theory.” Clinton would “stimulate national concern over extremism and terror,” and then, “when issue is at top of national agenda, suspicion naturally gravitates to Republicans.” As that happened, Morris recommended, Clinton would use his executive authority to impose “intrusive” measures against so-called extremist groups. Clinton would explain that such intrusive measures were necessary to prevent future violence, knowing that his actions would, Morris wrote, “provoke outrage by extremist groups who will write their local Republican congressmen.” Then, if members of Congress complained, that would “link right-wing of the party to extremist groups.” The net effect, Morris concluded, would be “self-inflicted linkage between [GOP] and extremists.”
Clinton’s proposals — for example, new limits on firearms and some explosives that were opposed by the National Rifle Association — had “an underlying political purpose,” Morris wrote…
The updated version makes use of Comrade Obama’s trump card, his skin color. This is why Dem Congresscrumbs attack their opposition by telling lies about having been called the forbidden N-word, why the farcical Department of Homeland Security is watching vets instead of Muslims, and why the Second Amendment will be coming under renewed fire.
Remember when the black guy showed up with an AR-15 at a Phoenix Tea Party, and the statist liars at MSNBC cropped out his skin color while screeching about racist violence? All part of the unfolding strategy.
