BREAKING: Hostages at the Clinton Campaign
When will this insanity end. The Edwards campaign has received questionable packages at least twice that I know of, and now someone with a BOMB has taken hostages at the Clinton NH headquarters. Check out any mainstream media outlet for more.







hostages free/man still in building
I am following this on the news channels and it seems all the other campaigns are moving quickly to lock up exterior doors and step up security. The man has been identified by a hostage as having some kind of explosive device strapped to his body, and he has demanded to speak to Senator Clinton.(who is not in NH)
There still seems to be no word yet on who the man is, what his motives are or anything, so I hesitate to speculate. I will just say that when people spend a lot of time talking about how a political figure is evil, has done a lot of terrible things, etc. this kind of talk(which for the Clintons, has been ongoing from the 90s) - this kind of talk can push an already fragile person over the edge. I don't know what the facts are, but I am just saying.
Now I hear there is still one hostage being held.
The real scoop on the Clinton Hostage terrorist.?
Dang! I was hoping he had a miro-chip planted in his brain while doing time. It was a cell phone telling him what to do the whole time..........
Leeland Eisenberg was already in trouble before he walked into one of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign offices. Three days earlier, his wife had filed for divorce; he was due to appear in court with her for a domestic violence hearing in about half an hour.
Then, the nicely dressed, gray-haired man peeled open his jacket to reveal what looked like dynamite strapped to his chest, authorities said, and things got much worse.
Police say Eisenberg went to the office Friday demanding to talk to Clinton about helping him get mental health care and ended up taking at least five people, including an infant, hostage. Night would fall before the last one walked free and the hostage-taker peacefully surrendered.
In the meantime, downtown shops, restaurants and homes were evacuated, and nearby schools were placed on lockdown until students could be rushed away on buses.
Authorities said a state police negotiator spoke to the hostages, and then to Eisenberg, eventually persuading him to give up. Shortly after 6 p.m., the suspect walked out of the storefront office, put down a package and was immediately surrounded by SWAT team officers with guns drawn. They put him on the ground and handcuffed him.
The package was not dynamite, but rather road flares duct-taped to Eisenburg's body that were made to look even more realistic by a separate detonator, said Col. Frederick Booth, commander of the New Hampshire State Police.
Clinton, in the Washington area during the day, traveled to New Hampshire Friday night to meet with the hostages, their families and police.
The confrontation brought her campaign to a standstill just five weeks before the New Hampshire primary, one of the first tests of the presidential campaign season. She canceled all appearances Friday, as did her husband, former President Bill Clinton, but she planned to campaign as scheduled in Iowa on Saturday.
"He was someone that was not known to my campaign headquarters until he walked in the door today," Clinton said at a late-night news conference in Portsmouth. "It appears that he is someone who is in need of help and sought attention in absolutely the wrong way."
Rochester police Chief David DuBois said Eisenberg was being held on state charges of kidnapping and reckless conduct, and that federal charges were being considered.
Eisenberg had a hostage call CNN three times and spoke to network staffers during the standoff, CNN reported after the ordeal was over and all the hostages were safe. Eisenberg said he wanted help getting psychiatric care, but had been turned away because he didn't have the money.
"I need to speak to Hillary Clinton," CNN quoted him as saying. "Something's got to change. Ordinary people need help" with their insurance.
The network described Eisenberg as "well-spoken, articulate and impassioned about his cause," but said he became increasingly agitated and laced his third phone call with profanities.
About two hours after Eisenberg let a woman with a baby go, at least one other woman escaped from the office; two other hostages made it out later, the last about half an hour before Eisenberg surrendered, police said.
Soon afterward, police maneuvered a robot to the road flares and triggered an explosion to destroy them.
Eisenberg had been scheduled to appear in Strafford County court with his wife for a domestic violence hearing, according to Foster's Daily Democrat in Dover.
Divorce papers filed Tuesday indicated he had been arrested and charged with criminal mischief, domestic related, and violating a protective order, the newspaper reported. In the papers, Eisenberg's wife said he abused drugs and alcohol and subjected her to severe verbal abuse and threats.
A man who said he was Mrs. Eisenberg's son declined comment Friday night.
Eisenberg also was arrested at least twice earlier this year, once for allegedly driving under the influence and once on two counts of stalking. The status of those cases was not immediately clear.
Diane Wiffin, a spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Department of Correction, said a Leeland E. Eisenberg with the same 1961 birth date as the suspect was released from the state prison in Concord, Mass., in March 2005 when he completed his sentence. She would not give details about the nature of his offense or length of his sentence.
Eisenberg made local headlines in March when he held a news conference on the steps of Rochester City Hall to complain about a police policy of placing fliers in unlocked cars warning motorists to lock their doors.
"This is nothing more than a gimmick to get around the Constitution and go around in the middle of the night upon unsuspecting citizens in their own yard and search their vehicles," he said at the time.
Police, who said they were just trying to reduce theft from motor vehicles, changed the policy in response.
Not a big fan of HC
but it's her innocent volunteers and their families that are being held hostage here. I know it has to be the work of an unstable individual but what does this say about America and where the politicization of durn near everything has led us?
Today I saw a picture of Hillary on the back of a pickup truck, I edged up in traffic to read the text under it. I was so pissed that I almost rammed the truck...it said "Life's a bitch - Don't elect one". GRRRR!!!
No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots.

Quote of the Day
" Other than that Mrs Lincoln! What did you think of the play?"
The Manchurian Candidate is a 1959 thriller novel written by Richard Condon, later adapted into films in 1962 and 2004.
The central concept of the book and the subsequent 1962 film is that the son of a prominent political family has been brainwashed into becoming an unwilling assassin for the Communist Party; in the 2004 version, the villain was instead a giant corporation called "Manchurian Global".
The novel has been banned in communist states "for political reasons" and was "condemned by the American Legion."
Plot summary
Major Bennett Marko, Sergeant Raymond Shaw and the rest of their platoon are captured during the Korean War in 1952. They are all brainwashed into believing Shaw saved their lives in combat, for which he receives the Medal of Honor when they return to the US. After the war is over, Marko begins to have a recurring nightmare in which Shaw kills two of his comrades. When he learns that another platoon member has been having the same dream, he sets out to uncover the mystery.
The Communists intend to use Shaw as a sleeper agent and, using the queen of diamonds in a deck of playing cards as a subconscious trigger, compel him to follow their orders, which he doesn't remember afterwards. Shaw is controlled by none other than his own domineering mother, who is working with the Communists in a plot to overthrow the government.

It appears that you didn't see the Republican Debate the other night where the Manchurian Candiate John Mc Cain said the sillyest thing about us staying and winning in Iraq for the next 50 years like Hillary!
in the 2004 version, the villain was instead a giant corporation called "Manchurian Global".
Do you really think Exxon and the other Oil corporations along Haliburton, Blackwater might be silly divisions of " Manchurian Global?"
Now Max, you know that when people read you for the first time
they get upset. Your combination of bad cutting and pasting (one day you WILL learn how to blockquote and how to make your links work), even worse joking, and really shocking and off-the-deep-end cynical points of view . . . well, you do it on purpose, I'm sure.
You take some getting used to and you know it so leave TrueMeckDem alone.

I been trying for years to tell republicans that I don't write or post this stuff since George Bush is my persona and approves all of my comments.

I wouldn't dare or try to mud wrestle TrueMerkDem on Smackdown. After All, Ric Flair is from Charlotte and Supporting Governor Huckberry Hound from Arkansas like Hillary.
The "Ditto" mentality and "Fox" problems with truth are two
types of social contributors to how people come to the "mental" state of fear and hopelessness where they feel there is no other recourse other than to commit violence upon those one may consider responsible for the thing they fear.
Thats my take anyway. I could be very wrong, but fear and hopelessness are powerful motivators.
This is a classic reason why there is so much conflict in America today.
