Why April 19?
March 30, 2010
Why would the Tea Party schedule their next big event, rallies at State Capitols for freedom and to take back the government, on April 19, the fifteenth anniversary of the OKC bombing?

Maybe you should do your research instead of feeding the flock inciteful questions. There was an April 19th long before there was an Oklahoma City Bombing with the most historical date of note being the Battle of Lexington Green which launched the American Revolution. (The more extreme types out there also note it as the time of the fire in Waco and the siege at Ruby Ridge.K A number of national events, including a Second Amendment gathering in Washington, are set for that date too.

First, you would assume that I didn't know April 19 was also all those historical dates.
Then, you assume that that knowledge would in anyway lessen the troublesome fact that the fifteen anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing by a terrorist is an awful and potentially very troubling date to select for such activity.

You asked the question, thus indicating your ignorance of why such a date is chosen. Generally, when someone asks a question people tend to assume they don't have the answer and that person is seeking a response.

Or in my opinion the question mark stated that maybe he was wanting us all to think deeply upon the subject and to form a discussion around the question. In my opinion the question mark did not mean ignorance but merely an avenue for deep discussion.
