nbc 5 ^ | nbc 5

Posted on 11/30/2007 12:37:28 PM PST by Dubya

An armed man, possibly with a bomb, has taken people hostage at Hillary Clinton's campaign office in Rochester, N.H.

Clinton was not in New Hampshire Friday. She was scheduled to give an address at the Democratic National Committee meeting in Vienna, Va., Friday afternoon, but DNC Chairman Howard Dean announced from the podium that Clinton would not speak. New York TV station WNBC reported that the suspect has demanded to speak to her.

Police said a man in his 40s, with salt-and-pepper hair, is in the building and has what appears to be an explosive device strapped to his body, TV station WMUR reported.

I’m telling you, I heard a story like this before. I remember the mention of Edwards and Obama’s offices being nearby. Researching.

Good one, Hill. Be sure you’re out of harm’s way and then send in someone to help you with the sympathy vote. Nothing happens in a Clinton office without them having orchestrated it. I’m not buyin’ it.

They should call in the sharpshooters and blow his miserable terrorist head off. Much as I detest Hillary, this is NOT how we handle political differences in this country.

Think before you say that!!! The Clintons already have enough dead people that have worked for them! This would be only adding one more name to the list!!

The Oklahoma City bombing enabled Clinton, Inc. to demagogue their way up from the ashes of the 1994 Republican tsunami.

That's all we need is another such opportunity for them.

Demagoguery is all they have.

When all is said and done, it will have been determined to have been a Clinton operative. As a previous poster noted, everything is orchestrated by the Clinton campaign.

No, they should try to understand why he wanted to do this and how the Bush Administration pushed him to do it.
Quickly form a blue ribbon to find which member of the presidents drove him to attack hillary and bring impeachment charges against Dick Cheney and Chimpy McBush.

Unlikely. Hard to find a plant willing to spend the rest of his life in a federal prison or get shot. There isn't really a 3rd scenerio for this fellow.

Oh we already think it’s a plant. That is what I first thought when I heard it on the radio. Esp. when they said she was not there when it happened. I thought “oh yea right” and here is am driving around in a car with a Hillary bumper sticker that reads: “Hillary ‘08 Give Terrorism A Chance”
Great going Hillary, you just proved me right!!!!

The man went to a local hardware store earlier in the day today, to purchase the materials for the “bomb” duct taped to his chest, according to another new report.

Sounds like law enforcement is leaning heavily toward hoax, but the man reportedly still holds at least one hostage, so they’re being very cautious.

"How many people think this was a Hillary stunt?"

(Raises hand). Notice how when things get hot for the Dems in the news(ala dem plants in CNN debate), that within 1-3 days something else conveniently hits the airwaves to take the press away?

Hillary’s trying to garner sympathy. All hostages were released quickly and I bet he gives himself up without a shot. Then they’ll ask Hillary about her staff and she’ll gush about their courage and laugh in faux relief.

It's very easy. Find someone who's going to prison anyway, and promise them a pardon when you get in, or early parole from one of your fellow-travelling Judges if you don't. With the added plus that pardoning an "assassin" would make Hilliary look like Pope JPII.

If this is one is actually working for the Clintons (which I doubt, but you never know . . . ) he should still have his head blown off. A terrorist is a terrorist, and I don’t really care who or what their “cause” is. They should be killed and tossed in the nearest landfill without further ado. Bothering to investigate what their “cause” is plays into their hands, encouraging more terrorism by garnering publicity for the evil “causes” of all who use terrorism as a political or religious tactic. As far as I’m concerned, if you commit terrorism, then that’s your cause, and you should be terminated, period.

I can see why he picked the DEM HQ of Hillary. Must have made him feel right at home.

On FOX News they said the guy’s name was Troy Stanley. I found this in local paper: “9-14-07 10:13 a.m.—Troy Alan Stanley, 44, of 287 Rochester Hill Road, 201, is charged with criminal trespass.” http://www.fosters.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070914/FOSTERS06/70914038/-1/NEWS18

Don’t know if it’s same guy. FOX interviewed an acquaintance who said Mr. Stanley claimed a device had been planted in his head by the government to control his thoughts.

He is probably a Democrat pretending he is a Republican. Happened about five times just the other night at the debates.

“How many people think this was a Hillary stunt?”

Are you being serious? Think it through. Who would be willing to go to jail for years in order to help their candidate with a bit of publicity. Moreover, who would be dumb enough to believe said person wouldn’t blab about the scheme when facing 10 years in prison?
