"A man is holding hostages in the Hillary Clinton for President Headquarters in Rochester NH"--just reported by Susan Wornick on WCVB TV in Boston

[ari-freedom]

I remember

[McGruff]

CNN said some hostages had been freed but 2 still being held hostage.

SWAT teams or the roofs of nearby bldgs.

Obamas’s office is two doors down. All evacuated.

“...I wouldn’t put it past her to plant a “terrorist”.”

In all seriousness, somebody better be recording ALL of this episode in such an event. If this is a faux event, proper documentation and follow-up on the circumstances will bury her career.

(For your DU lurkers - this is not some RW wingnut crazy-talk. Hill’s insane, and she’ll screw you rotten if you elect her.)

[weegee]

They are taking over the church. For a base of operations.

[newnhdad]

because real people are involved. just because someone works for hillary, doesn’t mean it’s funny that they’re being terrorized. He’s not Al Franken on Air America reveling in someone else’s misery.

[r9etb]

Well, I suppose.... I’ll hold my tongue for now.

Pretty stupid to attack a champaign headquarters if you are disgruntled with the Dems.What good is that going to do?

[roses of sharon]

CNN Headline just reported a staffer could be implicated.

[Dengar01]

Sympathy vote!

With the set up questions, and the Kerr plant, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Yeah, a beer headquarters would make much more sense.

[rockabyebaby]

Now that is a creative use of campaign funds.

IMO, there are no limits to what the hildebesat will do for sympathy votes, hate crime from the VAST right wing, etc. etc.

[xsmommy]

LOL!!!

[weegee]

Remember after the anthrax attacks, Bubba spoke up to say “me too” when his staff “discovered” salmonella in one a package he received. It was some food item that the staff didn’t get to for several weeks and it spoiled sitting in his office.

[TornadoAlley3]

It is probably a Dem disgruntled with Hillary. Dems are not rational. Probably someone she threw an ashtray at and fired.

[ctdonath2]

Here we are with the possibility of someone being greatly harmed

...and it's hard to pass on the irony that the targeted group wants to forbid the victims (insert self-referential irony here) from doing anything about it. Nobody ever pulls a stunt like this at NRA headquarters...

[r9etb]

Not "stupid" ... nuts. One needn't presume any sort of rational motive when a whackjob tapes a bomb to his chest.

[LucyJo]

This does sound serious. My concern for safety began when I began watching TA3’s link.

The anchor did just say that they didn’t know if this is a hoax. All I can say is it’s going to backfire bigtime if it is a hoax. Regardless, you are right, this will be presented by the Clintonites in whatever light shines best for Ms. Hillary.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

“A man has just walked into the Clinton office, opened his coat and showed us a bomb strapped to his chest with duct tape”

Hmmm.... is today a Muslim holiday of some sort? Maybe it’s Bin laden, giving himself up to authorities (albeit, 11 years after Clinton himself decided not to go after him)

[Mr. Jazzy]

That’s funny...

Most of CNN staffers ARE implicated in Hillary’s campaign.

[jacquej]

Oh, how I am praying that these campaign workers are released safely. They are probably young people, volunteering. I am a solid conservative, but am sorely troubled by the anger and tension between the left and the right.

Ill winds are blowing.
