timothy mcveigh was the first son in that family. he'd had an older sister and then later a younger sister came along. >> growing up to me, i was taught by my family that even getting a speeding ticket was a sin-type thing. it wasn't a religious thing. i mean any breaking of the law is bad, tim. you should never break the law. >> after graduating from high school, mcveigh attends a local business college but gives it up after only one year. he is restless and looking for focus. >> he wanted excitement. he comes home. he tells his father, i'm joining the army, dad. his father says, when? well, i go in tomorrow. and bill said okay. >> in the spring of 1988 mcveigh chops off his hair and is ship dound to ft. benning, georgia, for basic training. from there he's assigned a post at ft. riley, kansas. immediately mcveigh takes to the discipline and regimenation of military life. >> i wanted to get out and experience the rest of the world. i wanted to get out of my isolation of penalty. i wanted to be part of a team. i was a bit of a gun en

it becomes the -- >> we call timothy mcveigh a terrorist, don't we? >> we call timothy mcveigh a terrorist, but we do not deal with white men in america the way we've dealt with muslims post-9/11. there is a difference in how we relate to the perpetrator, depending on who they are and where they are from. that matters because it speaks to what i describe as our intimate and contradictory relationship with violence and once you put the "t" word in, once terrorism is defined, i don't think it's just who the individual is, if they are a foreign national -- >> or a group of individuals. >> -- or a group of individuals, it's the way which that person then initially directly connects to our policy. >> do you think that's right with respect to law enforcement, do you think the division between the timothy mcveigh's of the world and muhammads of the world? >> i think that it doesn't really. i mean, i believe -- this is from my experience, you cannot and should not get tunnel vision looking for a specific, you know, because somebody has a particular faith, the

it becomes the -- >> we call timothy mcveigh a terrorist, don't we? >> we call timothy mcveigh a terrorist, but we do not deal with white men in america the way we've dealt with muslims post-9/11. there is a difference in how we relate to the perpetrator, depending who they are and where they are from. that matters because it speaks to what i describe as our intimate and contradictory relationship with violence and once you put the "t" word in, once terrorism is defined, i don't think it's just who the individual is, if they are a foreign national -- >> or a group of individuals. >> -- or a group of individuals, it's the way which that person then initially directly connects to our policy. >> do you think that's right with respect to law enforcement, do you think the division between the timothy mcveigh's of the world and muhammads of the world? >> i think that it doesn't really. i mean, i believe -- this is from my experience, you cannot and should not get tunnel vision looking for a specific, you know, because somebody has a particular faith, they p

timothy mcveigh's attorney joins me live from houston and then larry mackey. he is the man who prosecuted timothy mcveigh and co-conspirator terry nichols. he joins me live from indianapolis tonight. do you see any possible similarities in the mcveigh case and tsarnaev might face? >> i certainly do. i think it's very likely that federal prosecutors in boston will use the same statute, and that is one that prohibits the use of a weapon of mass destruction. that statute has application here, and as i said, i'd be surprise federal they don't bring that same charge. >> chris, mcveigh was days away from his 27th birthday when the oklahoma city bombing happened, and dzhokhar tsarnaev is 19 years old. would his youth be a factor in a potential federal case against him? >> well, youth will be a mitigating factor at sentencing, i think, should he be convicted of this, but as the guilt/incense stage of the trial, i don't know that youth is going to have a lot to do with it. i don't think that a jury is going to care too much about how old he is. he's 19 years old, an ad

timothy mcveigh it was executed in june of 2011. the september 11 attacks, the oklahoma city bombing was the most destructive act of terrorism ever carried out on american soil. in permanent memorial at the site honors the victim. in 1999, april 20, 12 students were murdered, and a teacher, inside columbine high school in colorado. 24 other people were also hurt. senior and, 2007, a virginia tech shot and killed 32 people and wounded 17 others in blacksburg's virginia. he was later found dead from an apparent self-inflicted -- self- inflicted gunshot wound to the head. >> we'll be following all of the overnight developmts beginning at 5:00. not flower well anchor live from boston -- not flower -- matt lauer will anchor live from boston. arrested johnson was in baltimore late this afternoon. >> johnny johnson has a lengthy criminal record that includes jobs, robbery. investigators say he was on drugs when he crossed in front of city hall and killed matthew hersl. ande are deeply soorowed hurting very badly over this tragedy. >> i can

it's interesting that you did the timothy mcveigh case. he plu up the federal building in oklahoma city, the actual trial took place in denver. that's where they thought it would be more appropriate and he was eventually executed in indiana. do you see a similar process potentially unfolding here whereby the trial wouldn't necessarily take place in boston but maybe even moved out of the state? >> i think that whoever ends up representing him, that has to be one of their very first motions is a motion to transfer venue. because in a situation like this, we've had constant media coverage ever since this happened and none of it has been favorable for this defendant. and so the mood in massachusetts is not good for him and so getting a fair trial is going to be very difficult to get a jury who hadn't already made up their mind. and in the interest of justice i would think we would want to move the trial to a place where the citizens who make up the jury pool have not already been galvanized in their position. i would think that the government

those sound similar to the charges timothy mcveigh was charged for. in the 11 charges, use of mass destruction, conspiracy to use mass destruction, destruction with the use of explosives and eight first-degree murder charges for those federal officers. i am assuming you are not surprised by what eric holder has decided to do. >> no. i'm actually reading the affidavit right now. i have it here in front of me. and it's a very specific affidavit by the fbi lead agent that specifies all the evidence against this defendant that he placed the knapsack down, that it blew up. and in terms of the elements of the crime, the specific factual elements of the crime, they seem to have an overwhelmingly compelling case. where i think the problem may come up is in how you infer intent to violate the terms of the statute from this. and i think they probably won't have a difficult time based on what i've just read in the affidavit they seem to have a pretty, pretty ironclad case. so my prediction is this case is not going to go down like an ordinary criminal trial wher

i would in terms of oklahoma city bombing by timothy mcveigh was domestic terrorism but i don't think he was actually charged with anything like weapons of mass destruction even though he improvised filling a truck with fertilizer and create causing far more deaths by an order of magnitude compared to the three people that unfortunately died in this incident so you could call it domestic terrorism but the charges for a mic they certainly didn't sound almost like war and war like charges that the u.s. since nine eleven beefed up its spending on security. yet something as big as the boston bombings happen what has the u.s. failed i believe this was a massive failure of the surveillance state that we've created in america since nine eleven we have spent over seven hundred billion dollars on national security and a lot of that is surveillance with video cameras with massive data collection with fusion centers and none of those have helped to deter or detect any terrorist plot and while surveillance video was useful in reconstructing what happened after the fact it didn't prevent it do you

. >> do you think as clint just sukted, this may well will a timothy mcveigh type? >> it's really hard to say. i'm one who thinks and this is not a cynical statement, but i think most people act and react with a motive. and this could be a situation where someone's trying to get even with the boston marathon. real simple motive. it could be someone who is mad at boston, mad at the police department, mad at runners. who knows. but that's what investigators do. they go through the international connection potentially, the domestic potential, obviously in the case of tim mcveigh, it was to get even for the branch di individual yan compound, the attack there by atf, fbi, some years before to get even. so, that was the motive and hopefully, this investigation find a motive and find the responsible parties and quickly this this behind us. but it's just a horror show. seems like every week, something horrific is happening and it's very sad. >> and the flip side is how amazingly so many people responded in that moment and since then and you got high marks, 17, 18 years ago

fbi agents search eed furiously for a suspect, the guy responsible for that attack, timothy mcveigh, was sitting in a jail cell. he left the scene of the i attack, pulled over by a police officer because the vehicle he was driving was missing a license's plate. police officer arrested him for carrying a concealed weapon and ultimately the fbi arrested him for killing 168 people in the federal building explosion. 1995 the unabomber struck again, killed a man in sacramento, california. it was another year before the fbi finally arrested ted kosinski in a cabin in rural montana. it took two decades for investigators to identify and catch the unabomber. 1996, summer olympic games in atlanta. three pipe bombs packed with nails in them put under a bench at centennial olympic park. a security guard at the park saw the bag and started clearing the area when the bomb went off. a woman was killed by -- one woman was killed by the bomb. a man had a heart attack as a result of it. more than 100 people were wounded. the security guard in that case, richard jewel trying to clear the area, went fro

mcveigh. if this is some right wing extremist group we need to know more before we can say what we need to do. >> cenk: you say hey look, if it's muslim ideology that's relevant. we know there is an ideology that is right wing. we don't know if it's in this case. we have no idea who these people are and why they did it but but there is a long history of abortion bombings and timothy mcveigh, is it time to look into extremist right wing ideology more closely and pay more attention to it in terms of police work, department of homeland security efforts etc. >> well again, we are putting the cart before the horse, and i would agree with you. if we can establish that kind of definitive link, yes possibly. but we're not talking about a demographic profile it that makes sense. you're mentioning a whole bunch of events that were conducted by older white guys. we're talking about kids in their 20s who are not particularly right wing. and if we say the same thing--i'm blocking on his name but the guy wh

>> bob: when timothy mcveigh attacked the united states. >> eric: done with timothy mcveigh. >> bob: you go back. >> eric: 18 years ago, bob. let's go back to this guy mr. falk. >> kimberly: u.n. most anti-american agencies out there. and you contribute heavily, yes. billions of dollars to give money over to this individual who is one of the people u.n. official. gets paid through them. no, but where he works is partly funded by the u.n. sorry. there are ten particular calls there and they should be exposed. and everybody is not afraid to accept, hold on. no one is afraid to accept the u.s. money, especially in their time of need. how many countries the first country to jump in for humanitarian efforts, et cetera. >> yet, everybody tries to despise us that's the problem. we have been too late as of late. >> andrea: planning bombing a bunch of muslim countries jumped up an said by the way there should be a justified excuse for terrorism even though there is no definition for one. >> kimberly: like self-defense. >> kimberly: legitimate struggle. legitimately struggling then it's okay.

timothy mcveigh was executed. nichols is serving life without parole. a permanent memorial at the site now honors the victims. harris on april 20, eric and derrek klebold murdered 19 students and two teachers. 24 others were also hurt before the two took their own lives. hui attackedg- people on the virginia tech campus. >> turning to our medical alert, today doctors will order fewer and less expense of lab tests if they know the cost before hand. that is according to a new study by johns hopkins. when the prices were share, the overall use of the expensive tests dropped by over 9% and hospital saved over $400,000 compared to when doctors were not aware of the costs. researchers a cost sharing not be feasible for some of the more specialized tests, but cutting down on lab work can help save patients and expensive ordeal without risking their health. it -- today's tax season has reached its end and many of us are looking to get rid of old documents. but you have to make sure you're doing it safely. on saturday, the better business bureau is holding its a

timothy mcveigh, he opted out -- >> not always. they accepted scholarship money for a prestigious high school in cambridge. they competed in athletic events with teammates, wrestling, the older brother. they had roommates and they had friended. in many respects, they blended in with the community for 10 years. did they do that intentionally because some day they knew they would pull an event like this off, if as they are suspected to have done, they did it? >> we don't know. oftentimes, radicalization is an incremental process. there was a horrible extremist in britain on the public dole two decades and he started the whole... internet trend over in britain. he was on the dole there. so what sometimes happens, people engage with peers, or they pick up something on the internet. and they over time, give up their allegiance to what they previously had, especially as they grow older and leave home. >> you can turn that around? if this situation plays out the way it looks on its face, and there are so many unanswered questions with res

timothy mcveigh acted in part because of what happened in waco. one more quick note about the timing. yesterday was tax day for everyone in this country but here in boston it was patriots day which commemorates the battles of lexington and concord, the start of the u.s. revolutionary war. big day not only for the country but boston. >> what was supposed to be a celebration turned out differently. let's go back to new york and savannah. >> matt on monday evening president obama spoke about this tragedy offering his thoughts and prayers to the city and vowing justice to those involved. i happened to sit down with him shortly before these explosions and we talked about a number of things in the headlines. we began with the gun legislation before congress that many say is now hanging by a thread. >> i think we've got a good chance of seeing it pass if members of congress are listening to the american people so let's just take the example of background checks. 90% of americans think that we should make it tougher for criminals or people with serious me

christopher triko, he's the attorney of oklahoma bomber timothy mcveigh. do you think this is a coincidence? more than a coincidence? how two you assess this? >> use sang, i can only remember the last 25 years four or five prosecutors being targeted, these two including. it's such a rare event and to have two random acts of violence on prosecutors in a community as small as kauffman, texas. i don't know how to square that so i don't know how we can turn a blind eye as to whether these two are linked and tied to the same case. we'll see how it goes, but i don't know how you cannot finds that link. >> if you look at the kinds of cases they prosecuted in leading you to possible suspects here, people who might have a motive for revenge. >> that's the first place to look is what cases have been prosecuted in the last year, two years to see if you can find that link. you know, what we do, suzanne, in the criminal law field, we're exposing raw nerves every stay in our courtrooms and this is as high powered as it gets with respect to the emotion that's going on in

again, you know these kinds of cases all too well with timothy mcveigh's case. that being a death penalty case as well. is that a usual move for an attorney when she is defending this kind of client? >> yeah. especially a federal attorney and especially in massachusetts. if she was an attorney in the state system, he should wouldn't have a lot of experience in the death penalty cases. in the federal system, there are very few death penalty cases. i don't know if there have been any in the district of massachusetts, for example. so it would be very wise to get people involved who have a lot of experience. >> i know we'll be with you a lot more throughout this process. i greatly appreciate you joining my team. thank you. >>> we're following some news. the mississippi man charged with sending ricin laced letters to president obama and senator roger wicker has been released from custody on bond. the developments came hours after officials canceled a detention and preliminary hearing for paul kevin curtis. you might recall he was arrested wednesday. he claimed his in

mcveigh. >> what are you looking for here? >> actually, we're going to try to catch everything they probably can think would be tied to the explosive device itself. >> reporter: mike sullivan, former head of the atf, gave me some insight tuesday near the boston crime scene. >> even the smallest piece of evidence we will look at and walk over, they were capture and say that's a treasure trove for them. >> even a little piece like that. >> critically important, it could be the one piece that would tell them exactly how the device was detonated. that might be the only piece that's left. >> reporter: as boston remans a city in grief tuesday with a 15-block crime scene at its center, president obama vowed those responsible would be caught and brought to justice. >> what we don't yet know is who carried out this attack or why, whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was the act of a malevolent individual. but we will find out. we will find whoever harmed our citizens. and we will brin

houmous city bombing by timothy mcveigh was domestic terrorism but i don't think he was actually charged with anything like weapons of mass destruction even though he improvised filling a truck with fertilizer and create causing far more deaths by an order of magnitude and three people that unfortunately died in this incident so you could call it domestic terrorism the charges sputnik they certainly didn't sound almost like war and war like charges that the u.s. since nine eleven beefed up its spending on security yet something as big as the boston bombings happened. as the u.s. failed i believe this was a massive failure of the surveillance state that we've created in america since nine eleven we've spent over seven hundred billion dollars on national security and a lot of that is surveillance with video cameras with massive data collection with fusion centers and none of those have helped to deter or detect any terrorist plot and while surveillance video was useful in reconstructing what happened after the fact it didn't prevent it do you think the u.s. will turn to our surveillance th

it's the same material used by timothy mcveigh in the 1995 oklahoma city bombing. >> we need every ambulance we can get. we got a lot of firemen down. >> reporter: in west, police say so far no signs of foul play. but heartbreak here is everywhere. >> i'm kind of numb. really don't know. like i said, it will probably hit me at the funeral. my family is taking it really bad. really bad right now. it's really rough. >> reporter: as the search for the missing presses on. >> it's one of those that helps everybody. wants to help everybody in need. >> reporter: as federal and local officials investigate we should note that in 2006 the west fertilizer facility was fined for not obtaining or having a permit. they have since rectified the problem. tonight it is believed 40 people are injured and still in the hospital. brian, we have learned tonight that one of the men who was killed was an off-duty dallas firefighter who came here to help. brian? >> miguel almaguer in the badly shaken town of west texas tonight. miguel, thanks. >>> nbc news has confirmed it was indeed ricin that was in those letters

. >> is this some kind of crazy timothy mcveigh thing you're talking about? is this a tax day revolt, patriot day revolt? characterize it some more for us. what does a domestic terrorist mean? >> if i was going to put money on it, i would say it is somebody who would call themselves a militia, patriot, tax day rebellion person. could be clear, it could, of course, be some self radicalized who is upset about foreign events and internationally. but the linkage to an international group and to, again, for example, training overseas and pakistan and north africa or yemen, it seems very unlikely there is something on that scale that's happened in this particular event. >> it seems to me that this is a little bit premature. we've had this after previous terrorist attacks where there is this rush to blame necessarily, you know, right wing militia groups. but in fact doesn't turn out that way. and there have certainly been al qaeda sympathizers or radical islamists who may not be officially attached who have little professional expertise in their failed attempts, the

and as timothy mcveigh told us after oklahoma city, when we said, but look at all the people who died and were injured, and of course, mcveigh said, collateral damage. and these individuals are the ones surviving may well say the same thing to us. >> clint, bill griffeth here in watertown. this tomorrow, radicalization, what in the world can you say to a young man to get him to commit such a horrific act that is so out of character from his life to this point? what is it that you tell that person that radicalizes them? >> well, part of it is going to be his older brother. realize, his father was not a figure in his life. his older brother was the senior person. when you look at the pictures, the videos that we've seen in the last two days, of these guys walking through the crowd at the marathon, placing the bombs. you see the older, bigger brother. he takes the dominant, the senior, the lead role and the younger brother follows dutifully. we may well find that psychologically, too, where the older brother was unhappy with america, didn't have friends, went back to the russia/chechen a

mcveigh or going forward in 2011. >> it wasn't just the boston marathon. it was patriots' day. do you think that the date might play in the investigation? >> the date, april 15th, tax day, patriots day, the marathon, please be individual dots that investigators will think about. they will be careful to, the media, i include myself in that, now, we want to connect those dots very quickly and say, look. it was pats' day. it might be extremists. these are all individual dots that, at some point, will make sense. but right now, the federal bureau of investigation, the boston police, others in the u.s. government, are really in the process of collecting all of these dots. the date, potential groups that might have made threats before, the forensic information. looking at overseas intelligence. and it's really only after all of those dots are collected, that you very slowly and methodically start to connect them slowly. so, it may very well be that april 15th had some consequence here. it could turn out it had nothing to do with it. this was simply the boston ma

mcveigh, obviously, the unabomber for a period of decades not claiming responsibility. we may see a claim. we may not. and none of them will be true. >> michael leiter from d.c. thanks for that perspective. >> thanks a lot. >>> just after the break, reaction to monday's bombings has spread well beyond our borders and created a heightened sense of alert around the globe. when we return, we'll look at that. hey! did you know that honey nut cheerios has oats that can help lower cholesterol? and it tastes good? sure does! wow. it's the honey, it makes it taste so... well, would you look at the time... what's the rush? be happy. be healthy. into brand-new apartments... before rooftops were transformed into electrical generators... before an abandoned lot in brooklyn could become a vibrant neighborhood... and before hannah seliem could close her very first door to her very first bedroom... an architect, a developer, and our commercial banker, met over lunch and shared a vision. that's the power of connecting an idea to a community. that's bank of america. it's not for colds.

cases like timothy mcveigh destroying the oklahoma city courthouse federal building, no one took credit for that. it might be some time or never that someone actually takes credit for this. lots of people will say they were responsible for it. >> i was thinking, again, it's early, it's an early situation, but going after the kennedy library, not something at bunker hill, not something from the freedom trail or anything that kind of historic, but a modern political figure of the democratic party. does that tell you anything? >> i don't think it does yet, chris. again, that is, you know, john f. kennedy is iconic throughout the world to a lot of people. and that's a significant site. and if these were terrorists, i think it's still a good chance that they were homegrown, maybe some international component here. they are probably people who understand an event like the boston marathon. understand jfk library. does that mean they're domestic right wing extremists or left wing extremists or al qaeda? >> he was assassinated by somebody with a political ambition. hold on, michael. u.s. congres

tried in an american court and convicted, timothy mcveigh, got the death penalty. so it's very rarely given in the united states. even by the feds. >> final word, mike, you would say -- >> the federal government can clearly pursue the death penalty. they pursued the death penalty in massachusetts when i was serving as united states attorney. they secured a death penalty sentence. so they can, and they should be pursuing the death penalty against him. >> mike, jeff, paul. appreciate you taking the time. we're live here in watertown tonight. yes, it has calmed down. there are a couple of people here who are just blocks away from what happened today who were searched, who were with the police. they're going to tell you what happened in those crucial hours before suspect number two was taken into custody. we'll take a brief break and be back live. combwith state farm,to saved 760 bucks. love this guy. okay, does it bother anybody else that the mime is talking? frrreeeeaky!

timothy mcveigh and oklahoma city. adam: the bombing during the olympics. liz: we're not casting aspersions. when you have a "boston herald" reporter who was running the marathon and saw something come and explode out of a trashcan, you just don't know. adam: at this point the latest casualty list we've been hearing, they said three people are indeed dead. several people have been injured. some of the wound are quite horrific. severed limbs. a great deal of blood from the explosions. we're told two confirmed explosions. there is the report list mentioned there might have been a third device found that was not exploded. on a day, us being a business network, you can't ignore this kind of event, nor, do you want to trivialize what is unfolding in the great city of boston but this is the kind of event that has ramifications in all kind of ways. we saws, as you said this flight to safety. people with their invests running to u.s. treasurys, right when it was reported that these two explosions had taken place, liz. liz: we want to listen in, dip into wfxt, our f

these acts of which they are accused. , they are like timothy mcveigh. they are like homegrown terrorists. there is not very much that we can do to protect the country against a loan wolf acting alone. our intelligence agencies are very good and they protect us through many plots that they have intercepted from abroad. but there is very little they can do about somebody who is self indoctrinated, self trained, and build a bomb based on something they find on the internet. an asylumhere database, and if so, is it checked against the terrorist watch list? are those two things shared? guest: when a person applies for asylum, the asylum officers and the department of homeland security have access to data from the database from all the different government agencies, and in addition, in every one of the eight regional asylum offices, their are special fraud officers who are trained in finding fraud and are looking for patterns of fraud, and to educate the other officers as to aat to look for to prevent fraudulent applicant from getting through the system. i am

that was basically generated by the belief on timothy mcveigh's part that the government his own government had become tyrannical which is something you hear echoed on the far right these days so if you weren't to make it and of course this is the city where two of the planes on nine eleven where the nine eleven conspirators came here went to boston logan airport. never forget that picture of that man i guess his name was with those cold dead eyes walking through the through security there i walked through a thousand times myself very very worried if we had we had to wrap it up here but working we'll check in with you at the bottom of the hour for an update if i'm very well and thank you so much for. this. conflict. has changed. a modern islamic nation. and a peaceful one the stone islam the first of course was secular law a second. session. i'm sure. in places. and go. old traditions still. cannot go on the catwalk in a swimsuit. a republican controlled sea. wealthy british style. tirelessly. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cause

. >> at the same time it could be a domestic home grown timothy timothy mcveigh type of terrorist. >> that's right. the same recipe is in the anarchist's manual so it could be a radical domestic inspired event. >> timothy mcveigh responsible for the oklahoma city bombing of the federal office building, murrah federal office building back in 1995. deb feyerick you are on the scene in boston. you're speaking with law enforcement, local, state, federal law enforcement types. any sense of sort of a general description of where this investigation stands right now, infancy, middle, advanced, anything along those lines? >> earlier in the week we were told forensic teams were expected to wrap up toward the end of the week. there's been no update on that. we're not clear whether in fact they have gotten all the evidence they need from various locations. the one by the tree where one device went off and also by the finish line where another device went off. they've been canvasing the area now and we're told that there were other people. through the last couple days we've seen a number of photog

authorities but they didn't track timothy mcveigh and find him. he got stopped on a routine traffic stop which was a lucky break. here, too, the f.b.i. had not tracked these guys down where they lived and gone in and found them. it was their actions that brought the attention of police. so i guess that maybe that often happens in investigations like this. >> this morning, you know, 12:45, this started bubbling up on the internet, the cable networks weren't on air. they broke into the re-runs. i was watching television at 1:15 this morning and started going on air. at that point, nobody knew. are these related, not related the there was probably a few hours when no one was sure. they said, there was a police officer killed. is this response because an officer kilted often draws a big please response. it became clear as the f.b.i. showed up and there was way more responses that that was what was going on. >> bill: once they started throwing explosives outed of the car and once they got to watertown and they were returning fire, the cops and the guys

timothy mcveigh blew up the oklahoma city building in part because it's patriot's day. i'm not saying it has anything to do with this but there is now an historic context to this date, which up until 20 years ago was just a happy holiday in boston, where we saw the red sox and then came out and saw a footrace. >> stephanie: exactly. and as we were saying the right-wing will take that and say, the left rushed to blame the tea party -- >> another phrase that does not appear in my blog. if you want to be offended because i mentioned timothy mcveigh, maybe you ought to examine your own conscious. again, i don't even want to get into who did this? --. but i do think there is a wildness in our politics now. and the post about the constitution project 577-page report about how we torture people. you want to talk about political violence, read that and find out how the big boys do it. you know? >> stephanie: uh-huh. >> it is a violent and sometimes reckless politicalage. some days it's hard to call out the humor in it. >> stephanie: yeah. chris mentioned the boston police depar
