Hillary Clinton spoke with reporters about the hostage situation at her campaign office in Rochester, NH, following the alleged suspect, Leeland Eisenberg, being taken into custody. The nearly six-hour hostage drama ended with the suspect surrendering peacefully.

The man walked into the Clinton campaign office at around 1 p.m. and took several people hostage. He almost immediately let a woman with an infant go, and released another hostage within the next two hours. Right before being surrounded by SWAT team members he let the last of the at least four hostages leave the office. The hostages were reported to be campaign volunteers, the Clinton campaign reported.

It is believed the suspect entered the campaign office demanding to speak to Clinton. It is not known what it was he wanted to talk about.

That's a pretty brief empty article. We do know what he wanted to talk about, healthcare, mental health care.

It's known why he wanted to talk to Hillary. He wanted to dramatize the fact that he can't get help for his psychiatric condition because he doesn't have health care. Of course, that incovenient truth cuts to close to a real issue and we wouldn't want our politicians to have to deal with any of that stuff. How about another question about whether the Bible is the Word of God. Now that's and issue that will really help Lee as he's refused care over and over again.

God there are so nut cases here. Conspiracy theory running amok. I particularly like the suggestions that this incident is in someway "phony." I wonder if these clowns would be saying this if a member of their own family had been held hostage. Sour grapes and idiocy.

What a koinky dink. Senators, as we speak, are being bombarded with letters and e-mails in protest against the "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorist Act", which takes away another boatload of our freedoms, particularly freedom of speech, and then don't we have a crazy nut strap stuff on his body and take people hostage (a violent radical!) in Clinton's office no less. Great publicity Washington! Can you say MK-Ultra? Classic problem, reaction, solution. As I keep saying, we are getting too smart for this foolishness and can see right through it. Their true colors are shining through!

Frank Luntz is working for Hillary Clinton.

It was like watching Mission Accomplished without the fake landing on the aircraft carrier.

This is just what Hillary needed: a way to get some face time looking Presidential in the midst of a phoney crisis.

It was so staged that Tucher Carlson was caught laughing out loud when the MSNBC producer came back from her "Live" interview at the conclusion of the stand-off. (Normally I don't like to agree with Tucker, but this sham is so transparent... )

I also think it's interesting that Huffpo closed the comments on the other link to this story. They didn't explain why exactly, did they?

We have a long way to go before we can even pretend that there is equality in this country.

Let me get this straight...An American. That's pissed at the CFR, Bilderberg's and Trilateralists. Wanted to do a jihad on a member of the CFR. (But he became a Rebublicrat.) All of the sudden his spine turned to jelly! Doesn't surprize me. The majority of Americans are head job cases. You know...the ones who believe Saddam had something to do with 911. Or the ones who believe that Iraq had WMD's. The REAL head cases are the ones who believe everything that Dubya says!
I'm not paranoid. But I do agree with some of these blogs. Politicians will do ANYTHING for a vote.
Mission Accomplished!
R.I.P. OUR Constitution.

Republicans and Clinton haters on far left are in a tizz because she handled herself very well in this nasty little crisis. Was anyone surprised.

This poor guy! If Ronnie Raygun, the worthless piece of crap that he was, hadn't opened up all of the mental institutions and let them all out to save money so that he could give more money to the rich people, this poor guy, and others like him, would have a place to go. It is a national disgrace how mentally ill people are treated in this country. Meanwhile, mentally ill people who have violent tendencies can't be committed and cause serious crimes to some people. I think that Hillary handled this well. I could be more into voting for Hillary, if she wasn't so immigrant an illegal immigrant friendy, and if she gave us a withdrawal plan for Iraq. she is very smart and very capable of being President. She would be better than the idiot that we have now, by far.

The standoff is over...

And this remains front page news, because...?

Articles of impeachment, Constitutional violations, torture, and Administrative fraud are relegated to page six?

Damn Liberal news outlets prefer to keep Heidie's BOOBS in our faces for FIVE days while moving the important stuff to the archives in less than 24 hours.

Damn Liberal News...

One more reason why we need universal healthcare.

The mentally ill suffer worst of all in this country for lack of coverage.
