Repubs are getting desperate...

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/11/30/clinton.office/index.html

I wonder if it's Rush Limbaugh. :D

Karl Rove snaps!

First thread on it was mine. ;)

Bleah. :p

Bill O' Riley has snapped? :eek:

For a guy with a bomb strapped to his chest, I find it odd that he's a hostage taker and not a suicide bomber.

It must be Pat Robertson. He is the only person who is tough enough to survive that kind of thing.

*Decapitates HotRodia*

YAAAAAY! One less immortal! :D

I could see Phelps being behind this. After all, God Hates Women in Politics.

:D

Ok back on topic, ok, why did the idiot even do this? I mean didn't he realize that this is just going to give the Clinton Campaign more media coverage, and I assume he was going for the opposite. What an idiot.

I don't care what happens as long as no Republican sets foot in the White House in 2009.

Hmm, what are the odds of the police shooting this man?

I hope they don't. That way he doesn't become a martyr for Republicans.

You know, they are allowed in to visit, even if they don't win :p

If he actually has a bomb, pretty slim I'd say. They wouldn't want to risk him asploding. Give it a few hours and they'll send him a pizza loaded with valium and he'll walk right out with a nice big dopey smile.

Yea, but building has windows, and I'm sure SWAT has a sniper on their team.

Hell I don't want either party winning in 2008. Me and a few others want change, but the majority of Americans are happy with being fat, lazy, and dumb.

I'm sure they do, but what if a stray electrical signal from his perforated brain makes him push the little red button, or he falls on it, or it's rigged so that it'll blow if he lets go?

Rarely I feel so compelled to cheer on the bomber...

Well, it IS a fact that, should he explode it all, it'll be dirt easy to make Republicans look bad... You may have a point there.

Question, though: Why don't people call this guy what he is? A terrorist?

Because he's a freedom Fighter!!!!!lll!!lol!!1111

I didn't know he was I Republican. :p

He is a founding father. :nod:

I wonder how they are going to damage control this.

*decapitates Wilgrove while no one is looking*

There can be only one!

Did anybody else see this and immidiatly wonder which party decided to pull a publicity stunt? I could certainly see either one doing something like this, either to make themselves look good for their 'heroic' actions during the situation, or make the other look bad because of OMG HOSTAGES.

On the good side, if it IS a publicity stunt, its almost certainly going to get found out, which will definitly shake up the US political system and MAYBE give us a chance to establish something approaching an actually representative democracy.

Also, I find it rather amusing that the news networks have apparently ALREADY got bored of watching the SWAT teams run around.

Question, though: Why don't people call this guy what he is? A terrorist?

Because the guy's not Muslim.

But seriously now, much as we'd all love to claim this is either a desperate Republican ploy or a cynical Network-ish ploy by Hillary to gain sympathy propaganda, police haven't specified why this nut went into Clinton's campaign office.

When the details come, then we can let the jokes and commentaries fly.

Please, let him be a Republican, Please, let him be a Republican, Please, let him be a Republican, Please, let him be a Republican, Please, let him be a Republican, Please, let him be a Republican, Please, let him be a Republican...

And the right-wing blog-morons are already claiming that this was orchestrated by Hillary herself.

It's not impossible.

According to quantum physics it's not impossible for you to walk through a wall either. Just VERY unlikely.

It is, however, unlikely. Perhaps you need to readjust your tinfoil hat. I don't particularly like her, but that's just too far-fetched.

I never said it was remotely probable either.

Hey, what are you doing in my brain?:eek:

You actually think this guy has a real political motive? He's a lunatic.

Animals always thin the herd of the kind of mental defectives that use terms like right-wing blog morons though, I think we should remember that.

Clearly he's crazy. That was just my first thought before I read the story.

It's not the dems. Clearly it's the Green Party.

Or...is he the only sane one?

If it's this heated now, imagine what would have to qualify as an October Surprise...

Blowing yourself up makes you crazy. Therefore I stand by my point.

Not if there's 72 virgins waiting for you. ;)

There was a brief nonsequitur on an episode of Family Guy that very accurately reflects the reality of the 72 Virgins In Heaven, but nobody put it on YouTube.

EDIT: Found a link though :D

There's probably a reason (http://www.cannabisculture.com/forums/uploads/1142325-woman-ugly1.jpg) they're virgins.

Terrorist attack I'd wager, or the old Terror Threat bullshit.

I just want to know what on earth this guy thinks he's accomplishing. How would blowing up some staff members affect any kind of dislike onto Hilary? How would this scare her out of running?

Which means George Bush could cancel the elections and install himself as dictator!:eek: This is all his scheming!

I could so bust this conspiracy wide open if the CIA would just stop beaming x-rays into my brain.

He didnt mention any political afiliation, if you think he did because hes teh ebil rebubz you are fools.

It was clearly George Bush. Of course the guy isn't going to admit it.

Wow, Hillary couldn't even pay for publicity like this. I bet she's laughing at the nut case right now. He just gave her hours worth of publicity for free.

Phbt, don't be absurd, it's the fluoride in your teeth. It facilitates mind control!

This is sickening. Not just the hostage situation, but all of your reactions to it. There are lives at threat, and you're already joking about it. I expected better out of you lot. Sickening. Just mindbogglingly sickening.

Sad but true.

Some news sources are saying that there may be no hostages left except the bomber himself. He is also known in the local community to be a bit nutso and he wants to speak to Clinton.

I am not new, but there was none of this partisan bull during VT.

It also didn't happen in a political office. You may recall that the various VT threads turned into gun control threads w/ the usual jabs, comments, and sarcasm.

Same thing.

I think it should also be mentioned that no one has died in this one yet. VT had deaths from the moment it was reported. I would imagine that the tone will change as soon as people begin to die.

And it ended.

Mistake number one.

Maybe he didn't know she wouldn't be there today?

and no one got hurt. :cool:

wait... what's this?

Eisenberg made local headlines in March when he held a news conference on the steps of Rochester City Hall to complain about a police policy of placing fliers in unlocked cars warning motorists to lock their doors.

"This is nothing more than a gimmick to get around the Constitution and go around in the middle of the night upon unsuspecting citizens in their own yard and search their vehicles," Eisenberg said.

err... ok... wow...

That was my first thought.

I nominate Ruffy, not NSGs Ruffy, the dog for president. :p

How long do ya thunk before a Rushite implies that this was all a publicity stunt by Hillary to gain support?

Maybe he didn't know she wouldn't be there today?

It just seems like you'd plan such a grand (and final) gesture more carefully. I know it comes down to "he's an idiot," but yeah, I really dont' understand people sometimes.

I would have laid money on it having already happening in this thread, in fact I was waiting to get home in order to see how long it took...

I heard about this on the radio coming home today. Paranoid schizophrenia is a bitch. :p Glad no one got hurt, but really, schizos rarely hurt anyone, for all the negative press.

I am so totaly posting this on Youtube.

I posted a link to a right-wing blog that made just that accusation before he'd even let the mother and baby go. That was about 3:30 EST this afternoon.

Yeah, this guy's a fruit. He's probably just some crazy who didn't know what he was doing, sort of like the guy who shot Ronald Reagan to please Judy Foster.

I saw that after I posted. Ah, this is going to be a pundit shit storm. Stupid writers strike-The Daily Show/Colbert Report might be the only way to handle it all...

After reading through this thread, my opinion of several posters has hit rock bottom. Can't say I'm surprised that so many people on both sides act like morons behind the anonymity of their handles on this site.

Dont look for sympathy on /b/ or /nsg/.

Yea, but building has windows, and I'm sure SWAT has a sniper on their team.

Contrary to Hollywood, sniping anyone through a closed window (I only assume it's closed because it's November in New Hampshire), when that anyone is wearing what might be a bomb? Yeah, terminally unwise.

Rarely I feel so compelled to cheer on the bomber...

Yes, because as we all know, those working in campaign offices who simply agree with a candidate enough to do some work for them for free deserve to die. THIS post is what Vontanas should be sickened by. Instead, we get...

The "bomb" was made of ROAD FLARES, for cryin' out loud. Relax. You can't seriously be comparing this to Virginia Tech? Y'know, Blacksburg, where people actually WERE killed? You clearly haven't been here long enough to know what to expect from NationStatesGeneral.

*Shrugs*

If you're talking to me, yes I'm thinking this in terms of strategy.

I'll tell you why:

Bush already proved he can't be trusted. He's the enemy of the world. Republicans won't do much better than him, since the party has been taken over by its worse, most fascistic elements. For the sake of the world, Bush must go, and no Republican must take his place. Right now that's what matters.

For the Nth time, sarcasm, without the "rolleyes" smiley or some other direct indication, is damned near impossible to convey, and harder still to read into if one doesn't know the poster in question. Don't blame readers who take others at face value when there's no good reason not to.
