Eisenberg said he wanted help getting psychiatric care, but had been turned away because he didn’t have the money.

‘Ordinary people need help’
“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”…

N.B.: text with their insurance is added outside of flare-man’s quote. America already has mental health facilities available for the indigent, so the incident’s premise is false.

Please, spare us the we NEED Hillary plea–save us Hillary! Geez, the ex-convict with mental health issues hardly represents the “normal people” to whom he refers–as if ANYONE needs the likes of Hillary to be saved.

Such a clean operation…such majesty in Hillary’s response…Hillary can not afford a single loss…

As it would be, flare-man is just another Hillary follower, supporting her in his own way, whether directed to do so or not.

Given second thought, who actually allows that kind of dramatic stunt to necessitate a desire for Hillary in their lives?

I am grateful it ended peacefully or we would have been hit with a news tsunami. I guarantee they have searched the perps past for political affiliation and membership in convenient organizations

I’m just glad it ended without bloodshed. Period.

What does an irrational anti-Mormon rant have to do with this thread? At all? Are you just jealous of all the attention Leeland Eisenberg got for spewing his nutty gibberish?

The candidate gets to be a victim by proxy which is a piece of cake. The frosting is a small permanent residue of toxic story that can be milked many news cycles:

The Poor Sicko/ Dangerous Nut and His Sad Life/ Suspicious Lifestyle
Candidates and the dangers they face
Who killed John F Kennedy etc

You conspiracy fans need to get out of the house a little more often.

Recall Lee Harvey Oswald, set up to take the fall.

Update, Hillary behind in Iowa is told that the inevitable Democrat Candidate CAN NOT AFFORD a single loss.

Find: a susceptible victim to urge on and exploit horrendously.

This guy obviously suffering paranoia would be so easy for the Clinton machine to abuse, leaving no evidence. Though his personal computer may be searched, who would bother to trace ads received; unrecorded telephone calls received would not prove anything, either.

No harm done yet, gratefully. IF anyone other than the flare-man was involved in this Clinton episode, it was Hillary’s cronies in need of a sympathy card for her.

Recall Romney’s Provo associates instigation of the so-called “push poll” and Romney’s assertion that any Mormon fact finding is bigotted and that any recall of his record is personally offensive, Romney’s cronies HAD TO TEST THE PUBLIC WATER ON THE ENTIRE MORMON ISSUS–and now CONTINUE to advise Mitt to shut-up on his religion, having no leg to stand on under scrutiny. It was Romney who had the “most to gain” from that entire political charade, begging for sympathy while granting none. As per Romney and family values, a blogger quoted William Blake that I paraphrase here; a man can not care for his progeny if he denies his progenitors. The new & improved Mormon facade absolutely denies the righteousness of their polygamous progenitors who were forced by DIRECT REVELATION FROM GOD to be polygamous–but though the new & improved Mormons eschew polygamy for its ugly public realism, MORMONISM CAN NOT REFUTE THEIR GOD’S REVELATION. Here is the point:

AS A DEVOUT MORMON, MITT ROMNEY CAN NOT DENY THAT HE IS BOUND TO PRACTICE POLYGAMY IN ORDER TO ENTER GOD’S PRESENCE IN THE MORMON CELESTIAL KINGDOM. The Mormon escape clause with polygamy was to blame the US Government for preventing their religious fulfillment during this life, and merely postpone plural marriage until the next. None-the-less, Mormons who have taken their endowments in their temple ceremony CAN NOT REFUTE that polygamy is still by Mormon doctrine (that they call the Gospel of Jesus Christ) a requirement to entry into the Celestial Kingdom where their god lives and where they will be gods with their god, copulating spirit children for the earths’ that they will create. Romney says that he is proud of his Mormon ancestors, which is fine except that he hedges every question without answer, only rebuff. For instance, “So I changed my mind. Do you have a problem with that?!” The problem exists when the candidate refuses to explicate his reasoning for the record. Romney demands that everyone take him at his word; yet he allows his word to change according to the political winds. No surprise, that is according to Mormon practice. The #1 Mormon routine is to “avoid the appearance of evil”–and the Mormon Priesthood meetings direct all men NOT to help any female other than their own wife so as to avoid the appearance of evil. Their specific case in lesson point: if alone in your car, DO NOT ASSIST a Mormon female walking home with groceries in a rain storm, even with her baby in a stroller; someone might see you together in your car and start a rumor. THAT is the Mormon priesthood at work in your community, folks. To call this factual information “anti-Mormon” is irrational.

1. Had he used a gun, there would have been more gun control legislation hitting the House floor on Monday morning. But since bombs are already banned by law…

2. This comes out on the same day as the poll showing Republicans self-report better mental health than Democrats. Which leads me to…

3. This guy is likely a registered Democrat as the issue he put his life on the line for is mental health care entitlement. When this fact comes out, it will lead to all sorts of conspiracy theories concerning the Clintons. Rush said as this was happening that nothing happens on accident with the Clintons. I disagree in this case, but it is up to us to dig out if he is a left-wing kook.

You gotta admit though, we have had some pretty good trolls here. …Ropera…
BacaDog on November 30, 2007 at 11:09 PM

No recent memory of Ropera trolling. Would appreciate evidence. I haven’t seen Ropera for a long time, untll recently with a sprnkling of reasonable/on-topic, possibly anecdotal (IIRC), comments.

I call dem spoof trolls big time.

You gotta admit though, we have had some pretty good trolls here. GregH, Ropera to name a couple. Ahhh. Now they were trolls.

…..as they stalk the conservative blogs searching for a truther post about Hill and the hostage incident today.

even from the tone of the c&l post, in which amato strained to make something notable of a poster here advancing an interpretation of the event shared by the dlc-haters at huffpo and elsewhere, one can taste and touch his resentment of having to police for and delete sentiments which he knows are vile and disgusting, but which he is nonetheless personally sympathetic with.

This is exactly what makes the Crooks R US and the rest of the lefty blogs outrage so preposterous. They allow the most vile of comments and often make the vile comments themselves.

Much like their retard insinuation that “goggling” someone constitutes stalking.

OK so Crooks R US and all the other lefty blogs are going to chastise their commenters for their distasteful comments, conspiratorial “question the timing” and hate and the lefty blogs are swearing off goggling an opponent or perceived opponents ala Jeff Gannon stalking from here on out?

Really?

well, I’ll be watching.

My guess is, it’ll only get worse the closer we get to next November. I don’t know how AP and Bryan can be as patient as they are sometimes.

I just got done watching Hillary, speaking live about the incident in New Hampshire (11/30) and I think I can smell a plant. Somebody needs to check if Frank Luntz is working for Hillary, because it sure is working along his methods.

Here’s what the lizard brain sees:

Political terrorist
young people lives at stake
a peacefull resolution
a serious, (but not stern) Hillary, trimphant (although without bullhorn, and not standing on rubble,)

CALMLY REASURING THE NATION THAT EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL.

Tucker Carlson is not someone I usually agree with, but when the feed from the scene was interupted early it caught him laughing out loud and then quickly taking on the air of a pastor at a funeral. I agree with the laughing out loud, not the pretence at seriousness. (Isn’t he always using the term “phoney?”)

I can only imagine that Hillary is losing so much traction in New Hampshire that it was worth putting her own worker’s offline for a day, just to get something to talk about in the weeks to come.

not that i am by any means disputing the editorship’s decision on that.

but if this were the mirror situation, and hotair were a lefty blog reporting on a deranged loon who had busted into giuliani hq with a fake bomb strapped to his chest, bryan and allah would have been a lot busier deleting a shrill choir of progressive commenters luridly announcing their hopes for a mass annihalation of “neothug reichwing fag jewboy scum”.

even from the tone of the c&l post, in which amato strained to make something notable of a poster here advancing an interpretation of the event shared by the dlc-haters at huffpo and elsewhere, one can taste and touch his resentment of having to police for and delete sentiments which he knows are vile and disgusting, but which he is nonetheless personally sympathetic with.

That’s what I was impling too.

BacaDog on November 30, 2007 at 9:55 PM

i’ve noticed a lot of posters here who, though the last open registration was several months ago, only started commenting recently.

I’d note that Crooks R US and other suddenly outraged lefty blogs routinely host with no moderation hate spew and death wishes of Republicans on a level unbelievable level- Dem Underground, Kos, Huffington post, firegoglake being some of the worst hate sites. In fact the only comments they delete aren’t their death fantasies and hate, but any comment that doesn’t toe their rigid ideological line. Firedog is the worst. She can’t handle any dissent. Sends her in a total tizzy.

I think it’s pretty obvious these over the top comments are Dougj’s.

Why do I think he was a Dem? Easy. The drama has been over for hours now and the media hasn’t reported his political affiliation in any of the background stories that have come out. If he had been a Republican, you can bet they would mention it at every opportunity, even if it was obviously irrelevent.

And, really, how many Republicans want to talk to Clinton…?

Bryan, just lock the thread before C&L gets another page worth of screenshots.

My conspiratorial mind, says, someone found a crazy guy, agitated him, there he was. With the Clinton’s everything is orchestrated, everything is political no matter how much someone’s life or death depends on it. You can’t trust them. They are evil.

All kidding aside, there is something very sad about this. As best we know, this is an American working man who reached a point where he couldn’t cope with his life.

Was it outsourced jobs?

A relative or friend in Iraq?

The bleating of the talking heads?

Maybe just the police opening his car and putting something inside.

We wonder why people listen to the Fat Man; most of them are either the little neocon wannabes or people angry about something they’re not getting.

But when this guy snapped, he wore a tie.

There is something very sad on a very real level about this. I can’t help but get the feeling that there but for the grace of God

other gems from that thread:

One thing is for sure; if the right administration was in office the FCC would eliminate radio propagandist, Glenn Beck, Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity, Bill-O, Phil Henry, Comcast, Verizon, ATT, Sprint, etc. the entire sack of sh*t.

Maybe this is why Putin feels it is necessary (If this is in fact true about him) to ban crazy losers. Every country has their share of them. They are much more of a problem than we admit.
