To quote HumboldtBlue from the Sadly, No! comments:
First words out of Limbaugh’s mouth: ” wonder if this is another Clinton plant.”
To quote myself:
If the perp dies, expect a whole other round of militia-nut Ruby Ridge BS about the one world government killing “patriots”.
Yeah, you’d better believe it. Watch the rich-ass media disappear the virulent hatred of militia nuts – they like a bunch of gun-toting psychos scaring the lefties. Just look at yesterday’s Washington Post!
I actually liked the Hillary Clinton-Benito Mussolini similarity photo-pair. Besides, the original Hillary Clinton HMO-”alliance”-based health care plan was fascistic and would have made Mussolini proud.
As to this hostage situation, my first amusing thought is, that’s the kind of person who thinks Clinton is too conservative, or more laughably still, a conservative or conservative.
It might not be political- John Hinkley’s attempted assasination of Reagan was apolitical-just due to mental illness. We’re just primed to believe everything in the realm of politics comes down to partisanship.
BTW, prayers for the hostages-no one deserves to be in the middle of this kind of situation, whether you agree with their candidate or not.
Politics are inevitable here given the scene of the crime. It would be less newsworthy, and may have ended much earlier, had the guy done this in an airport. (Does the apparent bomb say “BOMB” on it, as some people wondered when the TSA searches failed to find fake bombs on luggage months ago?)

Oh, this is great…
This is serious, and I just hope it’s not political.
The comments around the blogosphere are sickening. Can’t people just let it go for one day,or until wi know what happened and if everyone is safe?

Uhh… what? Even if the perp is a total nut, there’s something political going on in his head.
Of course, everyone hopes nobody gets hurt.
