[Incipimus iterum]

RIP

Not a fan (to say the least) of her, but it's telling so many of the Breitbart/Free Republic types thinks she is responsible for Ruby Ridge.

I think it is telling that they believe it for the wrong reasons-if H. Dubya's folks could do that in '92, imagine what she'd do if she were there.

Hard to top them shooting both men, the 14 year old boy, the crazy unarmed mother, and the dog, over what was essentially a tax issue.

While Ruby Ridge was Ruby Ridge, I would argue that scores of innocent children being burned to death after being repeatedly raped by a madman (who could have been arrested while jogging alone and unarmed the morning of the stand-off, but Reno wanted the slaughter to go after a few marginal gun nuts in Bumfinks Nowhere), and shot at by bloodthirsty ATF agents for 51 solid days.

Then there is the whole kerfuffle about what happened in Oklahoma City and how the FBI/Justice Department sting took on a life of it's own which is a whole 'nother can 'o corn.
