Media Matters has been making the connection for an entire year now about how the Obama-hating, right-wing political movement, and especially it's enablers at Fox News, have openly embraced the anti-government rhetoric from the 1990's militia movement and mainstreamed it.

And yes, it's in Oklahoma, which 15 years ago next week suffered at the hands of the militia-loving, right-wing terrorist Timothy McVeigh.
