I don't get DUmmy newtothegame. Just a few hours ago, he was making a post accurately pointing out that Slick Willie was impeached for his blatant perjury, not for diddling Monica Lewinsky. That is DUmp heresy. Now he's drawing an accurate parallel between OKC bomber Tim McVeigh and DUmp democrat lunatics. After all the effort and time to reach the limited DUmp cred of 1000+ posts, why is he making this suicide run? Maybe he's just DUmb:

Instead of embarassing yourself by calling McVeigh a teabagger, try reading.
Timothy McVeigh, 1998:
The administration has said that Iraq has no right to stockpile chemical or biological weapons (“weapons of mass destructionâ€) – mainly because they have used them in the past.
Well, if that’s the standard by which these matters are decided, then the U.S. is the nation that set the precedent. The U.S. has stockpiled these same weapons (and more) for over 40 years. The U.S. claims that this was done for deterrent purposes during the “Cold War†with the Soviet Union. Why, then is it invalid for Iraq to claim the same reason (deterrence) — with respect to Iraq’s (real) war with and the continued threat of, its neighbor Iran?
If Saddam is such a demon and people are calling for war crimes charges and trials against him and his nation, why do we not hear the same cry for blood directed at those responsible for even greater amounts of “mass destruction†— like those responsible and involved in dropping bombs on the cities mentioned above.
The truth is, the U.S. has set the standard when it comes to the stockpiling and use of weapons of mass destruction.
Sounds more like your average DU'er.

4. Link? If so, then yes, that statement does sound like DU. OTOH,
his other statements about our government falls into line with what the teabaggers are espousing.

5. Yeah, except the average DUer doesn't murder people over mindless conspiracy theories.
The average DUer would blow himself up trying to assemble a charcoal grill, let alone a bomb.

6. Bullshit. McVeigh blew up children for gun rights.
The next McVeigh may have been eyeing President Obama in DC yesterday.
Gun rights? Who knew?
A discussion of lunatics would not be complete without bringing in a reference to Ron Paul and the ronbots:

7. Yes he was against the Iraq War, as many isolationist Ron Paul disciples are. Iraq war opponents also include anti-semites on the Right.
Many teabaggers--a minority, to be sure--are Ron Paulers.
