Bill Clinton to Speak at Dem Convention...Some of Hillary's supporters set to organize marches during convention...Some of Clinton's backers want her name in the nomination at convention... and in related news, Obama claims that Dem party friction is created by the media.

On a related note, people seem to be really paranoid about "kill" and "Obama" in the same sentence, but who didn't see this coming?

"if he gets elected, I'll assassinate him myself."

A man loaded with firearms and knives in his car. Someone who claims to have been in a psychiatric institution.

If that doesn't throw up red flags then I don't know what would.

The last link... Yeah, that's your freedom of speech right there. Wish I had thought of something like that during that FoS thread. I do remember hearing that there was going to be a massive democratic riot because Hilliary didn't win the election, but that was just rumors. Interesting to see how this all plays out.

The man should have been arrested, and I'm glad he was. Threatening elected officials is something that we must take seriously, and enforcement of the law is nothing condemnable.

That said... I also advocate the arrest of Reverend Jesse Jackson, who stated on live television that he would like to castrate Sen. Obama.

Re: Obama's speech on black fathers abandoning their families. Jackson thought Obama sounded like he was talking down on black people. He got so pissed he "wanted to rip his (Obama's) nuts off".

I believe that was the case...somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

That doesn't exactly sound like a threat to me. It'd be like saying when siblings swear to kill each other they actually mean it.

And on what are you basing that judgment? And should we make such judgments when enforcing the law?

The nature of the phrase. Generally when people talk about castrating other people in public it doesn't amount to much. The mental image is supposed to be painful, I suppose.

People on talk radio say meaner, fouler, and harsher things all the time. They probably have more listeners too.

At any rate, given that he didn't directly threaten Obama (swear to castrate him or something, he said it 'made him want to" wink , this seems protected under the First Amendment to me.

Can you believe that s**t? How are they allowed to get away with that? Shows how controlled the media is.

If the Dems are smart, they'll tell Clinton to tell her supporters to shut the f**k up already. Clinton LOST. She threw in the towel and told everyone "Vote Obama". Seriously, what the f**k is with Clinton supporters and this delusion that she still has a chance?

"CNN.com"
Agents say that classmates of Geisel reported that, between July 25-28, Geisel used a racial slur toward Obama and said "if he gets elected, I'll assassinate him myself."

A classmate said that, one day after class, she also heard Geisel say "that he hated George W. Bush and that he wanted to put a bullet in the president's head.
Well at least he's not partisan...
But seriously, wow.... that's messed up.


"Bill Clinton"
"You could argue that nobody is ever ready to be president. I mean, I certainly learned a lot about the job in the first year."
I think The Daily Show responded to this best, by dragging up a clip of him pretty much saying that ALL of the Democratic candidates were ready to be president.

"Obama/Hillary Joint Statement"
"At the Democratic convention, we will ensure that the voices of everyone who participated in this historic process are respected and our party will be fully unified heading into the November election"
Which would involve a swift "sorry your candidate didn't win" to the Hillary supporters and an "I accept the nomination" to the Obama supporters.

"Hillary Clinton"
"I happen to believe that we will come out stronger if people feel that their voices were heard and their views were respected"
That's a little harder to do when those voices are yelling "stolen election! you stole MI and FL! they shouldn't have been punished even though they clearly broke DNC rules even after being thoroughly warned B'AWWWW"

"Hillary Clinton"
"Look, what we want to have happen is for Sen. Obama to be nominated by a unified convention of Democrats"
Hillary supporters... freakin' listen to your candidate! She's thrown in the towel and she wants you to back Obama in her place.
So stop bitching about "Hillary for President". It's not happening in 2008, sorry. The primary did not go that way.

"Hillary Clinton"
"The best way I think -- and I could be wrong -- but the best way I think to do that is to have a strategy so that my delegates feel like they've had a role and that their legitimacy has been validated and that kind of ... you know, there is a catharsis"
Screw you! It's over! We forgot about you until the media pulled you from the gutter!

For crying out loud, Obama helped you with your debt... how about a "thank you" then screw off. He owes you nothing! You owe him.
Campaign for him and shut up!

Apparently, they want to be their own ruling class. A candidate doesn't win just because the women support her.
This campaign has been filled with sexism... and it's the Hillary supporters who are perpetuating it.

So true. Infact was pissed me off alot near the end was that during the whole races the Race card was played a bunch of times....Obama was in the hot seat etc....For hillary at the end to play the sex card and be like "Oh they are picking on my because I'm a woman, I lost because I'm a woman, boohoo." Really pissed me off.

Both cards where played so Hillary should suck it up. I forgot who said it but they said that if Hillary wants to be a leader, she needs to learn to suck it up and laugh a bit.

I seen some s**t from Woman sence this bruital primary that horrifies me.

I'm baffled as to why her supporters are feeling that Hillary was jilted out of a win and that the DNc is courpt and booted her off the winning stage.

My only reason is because all the billshit she spread throughout the race and how much people ate it up.
