In blaming President Clinton for all things Oklahoma City to 9/11 Rush Limbaugh said this on his radio show last Friday: "All I've ever heard is that Timothy McVeigh was outraged over the government invasion led by Janet Reno of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. And the Murrah building was blown up on that exact date two years later"
Limbaugh's justification for McVeigh's barbarism is dangerous and indicative of the kind of rhetoric that influenced McVeigh in the first place. The right wing's constant canonizing of the serial child rapist David Korsesh is bizarre. And the reality is we've only ever had two major terrorist attacks on US soil; one of them was on the Republicans watch, and the other one was actually carried out by a Republican.
