Clinton Stoking Extremism?

Bill Clinton says that the anger in this country among tens of millions of law-abiding American citizens could stoke "right wing extremism." Never mind that most of the violence so far has come from the Left, from vandalizing GOP offices, assaulting GOP staffers, and throwing eggs/shouting slurs at tea parties. Let's also not forget that the Unibomber, Bill Ayers, and the killing professor were all Left-wing radicals.

The real question I have is why the Left doesn't do its usual self-examination process of "looking at the root causes?" For example, after 9/11 and the Iraq War, the Left always wanted us to study why terrorists are so mad at us. Their answer, of course, was that it was the fault of Bush, the U.S. and our inherently unfair foreign policy.

If we ask that same question today about the root cause of American citizenry anger, there is no doubt about who is to blame.
