People just like McVeigh are members of the Tea Party movement.
Absolutely, he was a precursor to the Tea Party, no doubt about it.
maybe. But I don’t thing anyone agrees with what he did. What a wanker you are
No.
He would have joined the Klu Klux Klan which was formed by members of the DEMOCRAT party.
Absolutely. McVeigh’s one of their heros.
I seriously suspect that the NEXT Timothy McVeigh is already a member of the Tea Party.
Those people are getting crazier by the day!!!
no
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
sarcastic laughter
What I remember of mcveigh is that he was a “the new world order is coming to get us” guy. Not a “Taxed Enough Already” guy.
Nice try Troll, your way short of the mark.
McVeigh IS the founding father and very first member of the Tea Party.
McVeigh was crazy no doubt. There is also no doubt that there are crazies in the Tea Party. I hope that the potential violence brewing in that group NEVER manifests itself.
Of interest the Tea Parties biggest financial backers have ties to another violent and racist group from the past; the John Birch Society.
“Oil magnate Fred Koch co-founds Wood River Oil and Refining Company, later renamed Koch Industries. The firm will grow to become one of the largest energy conglomerates in the US, and Koch will become an influential backer of right-wing politics. Koch is a virulent anti-Communist who will be one of the first members of the John Birch Society (JBS), a far-right organization that reflects his hatred of Communism (he believes both the Republican and Democratic parties are irretrievably infiltrated by Communists) and opposes almost every aspect of governance in general. Koch will write glowingly of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini’s murderous suppression of Communists during World War II. Both Koch and the JBS have little use for minorities; of African-Americans, Koch will write, “The colored man looms large in the Communist plan to take over America,” and he will say that government welfare programs were designed to attract large numbers of blacks to the cities, where they would foment “a vicious race war.” In 1963, using language that reporter Jane Mayer will later say “prefigures the Tea Party’s talk of a secret socialist plot,” Koch will warn that Communists would “infiltrate the highest offices of government in the US until the president is a Communist, unknown to the rest of us.” Koch’s two sons, David and Charles, will have their father’s political views deeply ingrained into them (see August 30, 2010). In 2007, David Koch will tell a reporter: “He was constantly speaking to us children about what was wrong with government.… It’s something I grew up with—a fundamental point of view that big government was bad, and imposition of government controls on our lives and economic fortunes was not good.” Gus diZerega, once a close friend of Charles’s, will later say that the brothers transfer their father’s hatred of Communism to the US government, which they will come to view as a tyranny. DiZerega will write that the Kochs, like many other hard-right conservatives, redefine “socialism” as almost any form of government which taxes citizens and regulates businesses.”
