Another crazy conservative extremist terrified of change. Its sad that our nation is regressing rather than progressing

Jody says "Conservatives...have been cordial on this board". You mean all of the foaming-at-the-mouth ones accusing the Clintons of murdering Vince Foster...and blaming them for EVERY one of Bush Jr's endless failures? Are THOSE the "cordial conservatives" you're defending, Jody?

Conservatives - or the so-called flat earth society members and so on have been cordial on this board - basically presents ideas, concerns or observations. These right wings seem to provide intellectual incite for the most part.

Liberals - the so called tolerant people of the world, the first to blast those who call the innocent names - the first in line to take Imus out - are the ones who are first to call conservatives names - make wild claims about conservatives and show little to no tolerance. For once, I would like to see a liberal practice what they preach.

Isn't it about time all of you Clinton Haters get back to your Flat Earth Society meetings?

1. If Guy is let out soon and seems to suddenly have a great life - setup by Clinton
2. If Guy set up - but Hillary over-reacts and keeps guy in jail w/ no help - Guy will spill the beans.
3. If Guy ends up committing "suicide" we should take notice.
4. etc.

No matter what - if we keep an eye on this guy, hillary will not get out of this - if she was somehow involved. She has been mixed up in too many things in the past to not hink she was involved in this affair. She needs a diversion and this is exactly what fits the bill. You Clinton sheep - wake up to this clan. There are better candidates for you - much better! Even if she is inocent in this matter, there will always be a cloud that hovers over her everywhere she goes.

What's with the idiots crediting Hillary with doing a great job handling the situation? She wasn't even there & had nothing to do with handling anything.

Let me see . . .

Hillary is down in the polls. - Desperate to get attention. - Guy holds hostages ahem! - Guy calls the Clinton News Network AHEM! Hillary comes in on her white horse to save the day AHEM AHEM! "Derranged" guy gives up in no time flat????? Hillary is called a hero??? Anyone else suspicious? Follow the motive sheep - follow the motive! If you are suspicious - keep an eye on the guy! If he is let out and takes a cruise or something then we need to follow the money! This is all to convienient. For all you libs who love a conspiracy story - here's one for you!

Hello Comeback Clinton Hillary! The democrat nominee! This will work very well for her. This will outperform any planted questions for her own campaign or those planted to disrupt the republican campaign! Intentional or not, this worls well for Hillary!

Looks like the last thirty people in America who still defend Bush Jr's endless incompetence are ALL here today making their idiotic "Billary" jokes.

When I saw the story break, I thought "Man, those Republicans must have really been sore about the debate."

What's up peeps....And why does FAUX SNOOZE keep advertising "Hillary Clinton For PRESIDENT"? I thought they didn't like her...Until today. But I see them advertising for her all day long....Good for FAUX Snooze...They are choosing a winner!

I'm not exactly sure who this man is, but I know for certain it's not Vince Foster.

The man seems unhinged obviously, however, no one was hurt. As for a history of mental illness, the media should have used another example than his protest about police going into private citizens cars because they were unlocked and they were concerned. Try another one. And, obviously the man was right, because the police stopped the campaign.

Hitlary will never be president, never or this nation is really doomed

I'm really surprised that Hillary didn't demand the cops pull out and leave before they successfully got the situation under control.

Hillary handled this situation so well, I think it proves she should be president of the US regardless of her gender or socialist agenda!

I'm sure the guy just wants to talk with her about those pant suits. He's just a loyal Democrat who wants to help the cause.

At least the poor, little lady will get a few sympathy votes out of this... and will make no show to turn them down. Vote Hillary 2008 and help put a rapist back in the White House.

I said Hillary was locked into the nomination. I didn't see this coming, but I think it's really going to help her even more!

It's mind boggling how stupid some people appear on the internet. I truly hope the general populace isn't this moronic.

First they are too cowardly to face Fox News but still want us to believe that they could stand up to our enemies and now they close all of their offices in multiple states when a lone gunman take over one small office in a very small and insignificant town in NH.

Yeah right they aren't morally but simple cowards.

Four innocent people - my fellow New Englanders - were in danger today. Four people with lives, parents, siblings, spouses, and maybe children. I hope none of those family members glanced at the sickening posts here - they would have been appalled.

See? Hillary is tough enough to handle suicide bombers! Great work Hillary! You're one tough woman! You were a victim who, despite your gender, were tough enough to handle this suicide bomber! You deserve to be president!

When it is painfully obvious that Ron Paul is going to lose to his supporters (it's already obvious to us sane folks), you're going to see crazy stuff like this even more. Those unabomber types are going to need meds, therapists, and a pipe going from the exhuast of their car into their car window to be cured.

This is quite possibly the first instance I can recall where Democrats didn't immediately start trying to justify a person who strapped a bomb to his chest.

Probably a plant to instigate compassion and sympathy for "Dolly", poor baby.

Oh, I'm sure she'll see a political angle in all of this. She'll try to portray herself as a "victim" again. Cold, calculating, and has zero leadership.

I feel your pain.

I don't think Hillary had anything to do with this nut, but it might be a great opportunity to get moveon.org off of her back for her more conservative positions as of late. If she could connect the dots between this guy and moveon, she could imply that this is the kind of person that represents their 'base'. Just a cynical thought.

You can tell he's a nut because he actually WANTS to meet with Hillary. Even Bill doesn't WANT to do that.

The vast right-wing conspiracy is at it again...

"A man who claimed he had a bomb strapped to his body..."

"It was unclear whether additional hostages were released..."

"...Police Capt. Paul Callaghan refused to discuss 'the number of hostages that were taken or the number that are in there now.'"

"The man with the apparent pipe bomb..."

"The suspect was believed to be a well-known local man with a history of emotional issues..."

"...Callaghan refused to comment on the identity of the suspect or numerous other details of the emergency."

How convenient. If this was real, there would already me a mini-series in the works. It is not real. It is manufactured. The tail wags the dog, again.

To the person who keeps posting nonsense about HR 1955:

This bill does nothing but create a bi-partisan multibranch Committee, the purpose of which is to research, and then report. It's only function is to SUGGEST legislation and policy to congress and the President. It has NO powers of its own.

The only reasonable objection to this bill someone COULD make is that it's an expensive method when legislators could be relying on mountains of research already available from the private sector.

This bill does not directly affect anyone's civil rights in any way, shape, or form.

Read the full text and keep your conspiracy theory hogwash off of discussions with which they have nothing to do.

Dear Hillary,
We pray for the safety of you and your staff because as evidence from some people on this post there is no shortage of wing nuts and the things they do and say – John McCain chuckled at the comment as to how to we defeat that “B” this coming from the same type of hate that was used against him by spreading a rumor that he had a black child just before the last Carolina primary- all done so that people would not support him – why? Because they assumed that enough people would share their hate and not vote for him, what is sad about this is that too many times they are correct. All of us should condemn hate no matter the source. If America is addicted to oil these wings nuts are also addicted to hate. We cannot ignore them because they will do things like this wing nut and take hostages and blow up a nursery or drag a person behind their truck like others before him. We have to get some control over this hate before hate gets control over us !

Mrs. Clinton could not respond- she's in the war room with her pollsters figuring out how to spin this for maximum advantage.

I considered volunteering for Hillary but they have better security in the White House.

Maybe he is just trying to impress a girl, like Jodie Foster.

Believe me, when all is said and done, it will show a Mormon plot by Romney in the works.

Speaking as a compassionate conservative, I hope for the best in this hostage standoff - for Hillary and her staff.

I have to say that as a Republican myself, I really feel for Hillary and her staff.

Ok now send in the tanks! We'll burn him out just like at Waco!

Um, does anyone have popcorn?

Where are the prayers and concern for these hostages? People, this is OUR country and these horrible moments are not an us/them/Rep/Democratic issue, but a WE issue. We better clean up our families, society, and country. Stop casting blame and start discussing solutions and taking positive action to create a community and country we are proud of. My heart and prayers are with these two hostages and their families.

Hillary probably had this staged to get herself free press and sympathy!

It appears this will help hillary since she will likely use the playbook to talk like a Hawk the next few days and "sound presidential" to the conservative press.

You sir, are seriously living in a bubble.

God there are a lot of crazies on the internet aren't there? What am I saying, we've all seen the 9/11 conspiracy websites, it's obvious there are a lot of crazies on the internet.

Yes, a right or left wing massive conspiracy is MUCH more likely than a lone nut job. It all makes perfect sense now doesn't it?

Get over yourselves, odds are extremely high that this is just a lone crazy nut job, not a conspiracy.

Wow. Such vitriol. It seems as if the only nutjob isn't ensconced in Clinton's office.

fsc

If you scroll down and read the republican comments below you will see why we need to repudiate the Bush administration and elect democracts in '08.

Some of the anti-Hillary comments below are utterly pathetic and ridiculuous.

Prayers to the campaign staffers and others who may be at risk.

WMUR reports Stanley was in the middle of a divorce, had been drinking for 72 hours, was “not in the right state of mind.”

Yeah now I get it....

Who do you think bought him the booze??

Whoa! After reading these comments, I am reminded of this important scripture, Book of James chapter 3 verse 8:

"But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison."

My Exact thoughts from the first post:

"It wouldn't surprise me if one of Hillary's operatives arranged this episode to generate sympathy for Hillary in light of her recent faltering in the polls in Iowa and a tightening of the race in New Hampshire. This story should knock off any mention of Obama or Edwards for a few days, and if you're Hillary that can't be all bad."

I bet this guy comes running out of the building screaming and wearing a Giuliani button.

help.

When I posted my first comment, I think I remember seeing 192 of them listed...now there are only 177 of them...what gives...

AND FURTHERMORE...why was one of my comments one of the ones that was removed?! I was only trying to inform the American public about ongoing legislative proceedings. Are our government's legislative proceedings no longer open to public scrutiny or what?

You people better start learning about "HR1955". It has already been passed in the House and is going to the Senate. Wake up!

For all of you knuckle heads saying this is a "right wing conspiracy", do you honestly think that this whole situation will help or hurt her in the end. Do you also think that republicans would be stupid enough to do this and not succeed?

Hmm. This smacks of some real deep political mojo.

Of course the guy only had flares. Not a bomb.

Probably will cost him his life though.

All this so that HRC can look presedential. Wow, such determination. Such whit. Such character.

For a minute there, I was almost fooled by that and wanted to vote for her.

Can't we all just get along?

I said - Nuff Said!!!! No more comments from anyone but me. I have the last word - got that !!

Sherry,

I like your quote from Sally Fields. Unfortunately, you are both wrong. If mothers ruled the world we'd have a new war/armed conflict every month that would last about a week.

The Demoncrat party is the same as the Republican't party, just a bit more dedicated to bringing Karl Marx's vision and Joseph Stalin's methods to America sooner.

Where's Pat O'Brien and the old-fashioned flatfoots when we need them?
It seems as though every time someone belches inappropriately these days, a SWAT Team and military division is dispatched and every school within 100 miles goes into lock down (a term from prison).
Say folks, isn't it time we learned how to talk to each other face-to-face so we can ratchet down on this insanity? Sure, I won't agree with everything you say, but isn't the mark of an adult to try to understand the other person's perspective, point out the differences and see if there isn't some area of agreement? Can we ever agree to disagree and go on living?
Why have these campaigns started so soon? We all hate them because of all the posturing and chronic lying, so can we think about limiting them to 6 months? Even that's more than I can take!
Also, if folks were allowed (indeed, mandated) to carry, the lunatics would be less likely to present themselves for their 15 minutes of fame by scaring people and costing taxpayers $$$.

And way before that, Margaret Chase Smith ran for the Republican nomination!

I just spoke to a friend in NH, this guy who took the hostage is a good-standing member of Democratic Underground.

God help us.

A guy with mental problems? Likely the devices strapped to his chest are road flares or package of modeling clay.

You know there's more to this story - like the village idiot was coaxed into doing this by some obscure out of towner ...

How do we know the moron isn't Democrat, angry at Clinton about voting for force in Iraq (or some other thing)? In New Hampshire it would be doubtful the loon would be a Republican. Most Republicans have cleared out of that ridiculously lib state.

The Italians From New York Comment:
Judith,
Hillary isn't the first broad to run for Prezzie. I can think of Geraldine Ferraro and Shirley Chissom (a black chick) many moons ago. Both failed and hopefully a third time is not a charm.

Madame Speaker has been a disappointment. No doubt Madame President would be too.

Is America afraid of Mrs Speaker and a possible Mrs commander in Chief.The women may have just had enough of good old boys.

As a Democrat, this is what concerns me about either Hillary or Barack running. As the first woman candidate and the black candidate, they'll have to put up with all of the nut jobs coming out of the woodwork. I think they have to both be pretty courageous just to be running.

Hillary is a total babe - Nuff Said!!

It was a dark and stormy night....

All that I can say is that it is a "RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY” I would bet anything that a Republican is behind it.

If I were Hillary and I wanted to cancel a press conference in which I would likely be questioned about my involvment in recent scandals... like planting campaign operatives as "undecided republicans" at the CNN debate, this would give me an IDEAL excuse, in that it would probably completely divert the media's attention from the scandal until it's "old news" and never becomes a full fledged scandal. As a bonus, now Hillary can say that she's "tough on terrorists" and try to equate herself to Guiliani.

Not saying this is the case, but I wouldn't be surprised if she paid the guy to do this.

I think it would be a great idea to just drop the right-left labels and talk only about the issues. you will find we have views that support both.

Love the sarcasm here and love it even more how it goes over some people's heads.

I love these self-abosorbed folks who can't wait long enough to for they post to show up that they post it a second time.

As with Tim McVeigh, almost exclusively the threat of terrorism against US targets is from US nationals born and raised here. Should we therefore bomb and occupy ourselves? Or perhaps some unrelated country sharing our cultural heritage -- just to show ourselves -- whoever we are -- that we mean business?

Hmmm, probably a set up by the Clinton campaign. With only two Dems elected to the WH in almost 40 years, there's almost nothing this imbeciles won't do to get attention.

Hmmm, probably a set up by the Clinton campaign.

OMG....

This woman must be stopped!!!!

Oh....we're SO doomed.............

Help meeeeeee.....................

yep thats the republicans' modus operandi ...open big mouth ,insert foot... then get nasty angry when someone smarter corrects them.

Reading some of the comments on here has made it pretty clear to me that Hillary will NEVER be elected by the American public. Theres just no ambivalence toward her. You either like her or you loathe her (and a lot of the democrats are in on the loathing). The Dems best chance for the presidency in my opinion is John Edwards.

Well, that is America. and freedom, before it became a word that can be used now in alot of scary ways and the idiots of the world always use the word freedom sometimes to defend stupidity. (IRAQ) I think Hillary is what we need.

does he listen to the radio? If yes,which one/s.

this will generate sympathy

Either way, this is such a setup to let Hillary play both hero and victim once again.

Regardless of your political convictions, do we really need more of this crime, insanity, madness, and out of control bull in our country? Look at where the hell we are today!!! Think back over the decades and what got us here!

Yes, I am angry! Some of the above comments are just assanine and juvenile!

It's amazing when people can maintain anonimity (such as on this message board) how much stupidity and garbage they can spout off. The internet really opens up a door for people to truly express themselves, and the result is frightening.

I completely agree with Grey.
Thank you for your service.

(Pelts Clay with a rotten tomato) Booo! Get off the stage!

Sorry that you had to go thru that Grey. Maybe we should start and heal

I came back from Vietnam and spent years being ashamed because the people in my country told me I should be, I see clearly now and it is you idiots posting here that I am ashamed of having protected.

"It stands to some kind of reason that a GOP'er would want to silence Hillary"

Oh does it now?

Get over yourselves. Assuming it's a republican is a sad thing to do. Republicans don't take hostages, duh.

How about the criminal is a loon that wants to get attention or die?

another opportunity for Hill to play the victim card...this'll win her sympathy votes from people who've been taken hostage before.Thanks alot ya wackjob!

Ha ha whos more crazy? The nut or hillary? I can easily say hillary is more crazy and Im a democrat. I am however voting republican in 08. The dem field is filled with liars, and no change in sight. At least the republicans are in this war to win.

She just shut down all the Iowa offices. ??

Why not just shut all of them nationwide? Why just Iowa?

Hum.
