Man takes Hillary NH office hostage. Bad for democrats?

Plainly the Dems are in trouble. I think this will cost everyone the election. How about you?

(yes, this is indeed a spoof of past pundit spin. Sue me. But I think it also foreshadows uncoming spin, however the situation turns out, short of Hillary showing up with a bazooka and taking out the perp.)

In all seriousness, my prayers that the situation is resolved peacefully.

I don’t see why it would hurt the Democrats…at least those outside the blast radius. Just spin it as a right-wing nut, an example of why you need Democrats running the joint.

Well, she’s in Virginia, so not in any danger from this.

I hope everything ends peacefully.

I don’t much care for Hillary, and intend (at least for now) to vote for Obama in the next election. However, if she took out the perp with a bazooka, I would immediately change my mind.

The question is whether the hostage taker is a Republican or a Democrat. Wait - the article said that he released a mother and a baby, so he can’t be a Republican. :slight_smile:

Followup question: how many votes will he get in the primary?

I also hope he surrenders peacefully, and that it isn’t really a bomb.

So you’d switch to Huckabee then, Lightnin’? :slight_smile:

My guess (and hope) is that his bomb is from Toys R Us.

My guess is he’ll die from a mysterious suicide.

Ah, it begins. The Vince Foster reference.

This is obviously a bad thing for the Dems. What was Hillary thinking?

Just trying to inject a little levity, I wasn’t serious.

Having read some of the more la-la sites regarding Hillary, my guess is it’s an anti-Jewish anti-lesbian conspiracy.

There was an implied smiley in my post as well. :slight_smile:

Latest story says he had highway flares taped around him. Maybe he wanted to light 'em all and blind the staff?

What next?

Then again there’s the theory that H. set it up to get the sympathy vote. A vast left-wing conspiracy. :smiley:

it’s over. I’m sure there will be much criticism Hillary’s actions and judgement on this fateful day, and how that reflects on her candidacy.

Isn’t that just like a liberal? She wants to take our guns away but she gets to have a bazooka.

When having a highway flare is a crime, only criminals will have highway flares.

Hmm, where *is * Evil One’s GD thread on how *this * will hurt the Democrats?

Last night on FOX “news”, Hillary held forth for about 15 minutes, thanksing everybody from the NH State Police to the cleaning staff-it was positively nauseating, to have her ramble on … and on… and on…-I turned it off, This woman uses EVERYTHING as an excuse to launch into a boring speech-complete with ahhs, and erss, . It was horrible! :eek:

She can’t say thanks?

Anne Althouse accuses Hillary of… being scripted or something.

It’s obviously a disgusting, cynical move by Hillary. This harlot’s candidacy is now in shreds, and she doesn’t have the common decency to shut the hell up. No other candidate would so cynically use a terrorist attack as a campaign infomercial.

This exposes the Democrats as the hypocrites that they are. I hope we can all learn something from this.
