Daily Beast's Goldberg Invokes Oklahoma City Bombing in Discussion of GOP, Cliven Bundy, and Militias (NewsBusters)

Appearing as a guest on the Monday, April 21, All In with Chris Hayes, Daily Beast columnist Michelle Goldberg -- also of the far left The Nation magazine -- invoked the Oklahoma City Bombing during a discussion of the Cliven Bundy standoff, as she accused Republican Party of "playing footsie" with militias during the Clinton administration, and suggested culpabilty by Republicans in stoking violence.

Goldberg asserted:

And so you saw this a lot in the 90s with Clinton, you know, there was conspiracies about black helicopters, there was a lot of, kind of, playing of footsie between the Republican Party and the militia movement, there was a Congresswoman named Helen Chenoweth who was, you know, almost the Congresswoman from the militia movement.
