Bill Clinton Is Worried Republican Tea Partiers Could Incite Violence

Bill Clinton spoke at a Center for American Progress dinner last week, and spoke about the "responsibility" that goes along with rhetoric. Oh, and he made sure to highlight "Republican" rhetoric.

One of the things that the conservatives have always brought to the table in America is a reminder that no law can replace personal responsibility. And the more power you have and the more influence you have, the more responsibility you have.

Moments earlier, he said that "words we use really do matter," because they "go across space and they fall on the serious and the delirious alike. They fall on the connected and the unhinged alike."

In other words: watch out, tea partiers — lefties will pin the next fringe terrorist attack on your grassroots activism.
