Wonder why Democrats and Republicans train individuals to speak on their behalf as surrogates as outlined in an earlier story on this site?
Because of the woman in the video below, who is a delegate at the Democratic National Convention.
She is now being investigated by the Secret Service after expressing a desire to “kill” Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in an interview.
NOT A THREAT
Cut her some slack. We all say things in anger that we don’t mean–I really doubt that this woman is a threat to Gov. Romney. Take care. Sincerely, Respectfully and In Christ, Ernest Evans
WOMAN IS A THREAT
She absolutely is a threat! If you watch her make the statement, you can tell she means it!
She may not be able to kill Romney herself, personally. However, evil people like her who talk about how they would like to “kill” Romney encourage others — some of whom may be mentally unstable — to do so.
I’m glad to see that someone “in Christ” is willing to forgive her for her statement. I wonder if the old woman is willing to forgive Romney.
SAD DAY FOR SOCIETY
I guess this is what happens when people don’t get their FREE health care..Sad day for Society..
SHE’S A DELEGATE
If she threatens to kill ANYONE, she is a menace to society as we know it…and to THINK that she is a DELEGATE…REALLY????
A HOUSE DIVIDED
Words carelessly uttered and yet all the more proof that we have deteriorated into a far less civil society than we were even 25 years ago. A house divided itself cannot stand, Mr. Lincoln once observed.
AN ELECTED DELEGATE
@Ernest Evans – are you kiddin’ us? Really? She’s an ELECTED DELEGATE. Leadership means being in control, being reasonable, being able to debate intelligently. She shows none of that threatening to kill someone and doing it on camera knowing it will be broadcast.
MORE THREATS AGAINST OBAMA
To My Fan Club: The Secret Service has its hands full protecting the President and the other Presidential candidates–there have been three times as many credible death threats against President Obama as there were against President Bush–and we all remember what an unpopular President George W. Bush was. No time to waste worrying about people who say angry things that they don’t mean. Take care. Sincerely, Respectfully and In Christ, Ernest Evans
FELONY?
I think it would be a felony if the subject of her ranting was Obama.
NOT A JOKE
You are not permitted to yell FIRE in a theatre without consequence. You cannot joke about a bomb in an airport waiting line. And you may not joke, on national media, about killing someone without consequence.
She got her 15 minutes of fame.
