(5,763 posts)As they were Clinton, simply because they didn't get the White House. Under Clinton, though, there was Waco and Ruby Ridge. No matter what side you come out on about those incidents, they did add to the fear.
Nothing like that has happened under Obama. In fact, as much the Occupy Wall Street movement is being criticized recently, they did reduce the fear by mostly not being violent even when violence was done to them. Remember Glen Beck's warning about them? Put egg on his face. It showed that Left was peaceful. The riots and bombings of the '60s didn't reoccur. I think it reduced a lot of the tension. Of course, they haven't won anything yet.
Obama let people march on Washington Armed. With Obama, there's been a lot of agitation against him, a lot of lies, but really, sooner or later, if there are no incidents, people are going to stop crying wolf.
