The Boston Herald editorial staff pointed out yesterday how Bill Clinton's recent attempt to vilify the whole Tea Party Movement depended, as usual, on the slick use of a single term, "they."
By that sleight of hand, Clinton hoped to convey the notion of equivalency between Timothy McVeigh and the Tea Parties, presupposing that a whole movement existed behind McVeigh when in reality he had "one accomplice and two other individuals who knew of his plans."
The Tea Party Movement, by contrast, is enormous, is Everyman, and must be one hell of a threat if the inventor of the politics of personal destruction at Waco has to be trotted out to join the battle.
We'll see you on the battlefield, in November, creep.
