On May 19 , 1996 , Pierce made a rare appearance in the mainstream media on '' 60 Minutes '' , during which Pierce was asked by Mike Wallace if he approved of the Oklahoma City bombing , and he replied " No . No , I do n't . I 've said that over and over again , that I do not approve of the Oklahoma City bombing because the United States is not yet in a revolutionary situation . " The previous year , in a telephone interview with '' The Washington Post '' , he was quoted as saying : " the Oklahoma City bombing did n't make sense politically . Terrorism only makes sense if it can be sustained over a period of time . One day there will be real , organized terrorism done according to plan , aimed at bringing down the government . " Pierce was frequently described as a neo-Nazi , although he personally rejected this label . When confronted with the issue by Mike Wallace on '' 60 minutes '' , Pierce described the term as a slander :
Oklahoma City bombing
