The Chairman didnt happen to be one of those opposed to the Clintons appearing at the convention, did he?

Just sayin...

[Heather 8]

No. In fact, he was a super delegate who strongly supported Hillary.

I hate these cocksuckers. No matter what I think of a candidate, personally about them or about their policies, this is America and someone out there supports them. NOBODY has the right or a just enough cause to warrant political assasinations against any candidate or their staff.

There should be a federal law that murdering a candidate, elected or not or someone working for a political party or candidate should get the death penalty. If there is, ENFORCE IT!

My friend lives in Atlanta and the Russians invaded Georgia.
Slowly, but surely, I'm starting to distrust the wolves in the barn.

Okay, how do you come to that conclusion. Here is what I know:

Authorities are working to confirm his identity, but Hastings said there was no indication that he was a former employee. He said police were investigating possible motives, as well as why the suspect went into the Arkansas Baptist State Convention brandishing a gun.

CNN affilliates KARK and KTHV identified the gunman as Timothy Dale Johnson, 50, of Searcy, Arkansas. (http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/08/13/arkansas.shooting/index.html)

and......


After the shooting, the suspect entered a nearby Arkansas Baptist State Convention pointed a gun at an employee.

The man was "white as a sheet," convention official Dan Jordan said.

"I've heard he said something do to about losing a job. ... He didn't threaten anyone." The man left through the front door shortly afterward, he said.


I'm not saying it isn't a right winger, but I'd like to know where you got that from. I haven't gotten much else to know about any type of motive. It has to be political though, a statement (maaaaaaan!) or something like that.

Or you could be right. It could be a right-wing nutjob.

Well, yeah, hence the "was."

I'm too old to be telling you jokes, I guess.

Whats sad is that in a nation of apathy, you have a man (whether you agree or not with his politics) who obviously cares about our political process.

And his reward?

Just sad.

It's not apathy, necessarily. It may be just dealing with the fact that great people die every ding dong day. At least this one got his name in the paper.

[KC2OSO]

Hem, I wonder who hired him.

[Willmore]

Fuck, I just picked him in my Fantasy Democratic Party League. Now I'm really thin at state party chairmans. I hope some moron is stupid enough to trade my Ted Kennedy for Brian Colon or T. J. Rooney.

[bigredd]

I live in Arkansas and I know some folks that knew him and he was apaprently a good guy despite being a staunch democrat. Sorry...I had to. It's a damn shame whether you agree with the man's politics or not. RIP.
