A march in D.C. on the 15th anniversary of OKC bombing

Today is the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, the biggest act of domestic terrorism in the history of the United States.

Also today, there's a rally in Washington, D.C., for the teabaggers and right-wing militia nutcases.

This is what the marchers are commemorating:


It's no coincidence that this "Second Amendment March" is happening today, just as it was no coincidence that domestic terrorist, mass murderer, and baby killer Timothy McVeigh chose 19 April to blow up the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City: it's the anniversary of the 1993 Branch Davidian siege in Waco, Texas. McVeigh killed 168 people, including 3 pregnant women and 19 children. He parked the truck bomb under the building's daycare.

Teabaggers, Oath Keepers, and "Second Amendment Advocates" are not your friends, and they're not patriotic Americans. They think McVeigh is a hero, and their Fox News spokespeople drop McVeigh's name as if he were a political leader and inspirational figure, not a brutal killer (video: from 7:45). And their message today is a threat that Oklahoma City will happen again.

Brendan says it better.
