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.

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??
