Is it a prank or something more sinister?

Evansville police are investigating a possible threat against Hillary Clinton posted on the Facebook website.

The person who wrote the comment allegedly has ties to the local Barack Obama office.

He apparently was one of the few who met Senator Obama when he was in Evansville on Tuesday.

Now the man has added his own negative twist to the campaign by making an alleged threat against Senator Hillary Clinton.

........... According to the incident report filed with the Evansville Police Department, the comment in question reads, "Make sure Hillary avoids the sniper fire next time she comes to Evansville."

1. It's joke alluding to Bosnia. But, let's get excited!

It helps discredit Obama. That Must be done any way possible. By mid summer, they'll find his love child. :eyes:

5. I think, you know, Americans should watch what they say, and watch what they do

Maybe Ari Fleischer will get his old job back.

[JVS]

7. Nice sig pic!

[kenny blankenship]

10. Thanks -

I like yours too. Kool-Aid goggles - took me a while. Speaking of which, think I'll pour myself another glass.

[madeline_con]

11. Maybe free speech would be a good idea. n/t

[rodeodance]

14. there is a limit--read this:

Investigators say if Hillary Clinton comes to Evansville again the Secret Service will be notified and the young man will be closely watched.

No arrest has been made mainly because it's difficult for police to determine how serious the comment is.

The news broke on the same day Senator Clinton's daughter Chelsea made a campaign stop in Evansville.

I told Chelsea Clinton's representatives about the alleged threat. They declined to comment on camera but were eager to find out more about what was said on the website.

They tell me the Secret Service handles all possible threats against Senator Clinton.

R.J. Champion, the lead organizer for the 'Evansville for Barack Obama' campaign, said he hopes this was meant as a joke, but he says you can't play games like that these days.

39. yawn

[kenny blankenship]

44. It's YOU!

It was you in Evansville. It was you in Bosnia! It's been you, the Scarlet Sniper, all along!

[ScarletSniper]

48. ROFL..I do get around..

[PoliticalAmazon]

28. Probably not. Faux-martyr Hillary supporters blubber about every freaking...

...little thing.

Hillary lied about being under sniper fire. She made a "joke" about showing up late for a talk show because she was under sniper fire.

I realize that Hillary would like to have that controversy left behind, but many people can't help but wonder: if she'd lie about something obvious and easily checked like sniper fire, what else would she lie about?

[Window]

35. Dear Lord! Enough is enough. The stress of this primary is driving people insane.

This can't go on much longer.


If :nuke: can go on Leno and make jokes about herself dodging sniper fire, why can't others.

This is beyond stupid.

[madeline_con]

51. Like Bill and Monica? n/t

[myrna minx]

No kidding. n/t

[PoliticalAmazon]

32. DO WE EVEN KNOW IF THIS STORY IS TRUE? ....

...Is this another one of Hillary's lies, like the one about the woman who was turned away from two hospitals and later died?

We must always remember that we cannot trust Hillary or many of her supporters. Demand bona fide proof before you believe one of their make-me-a-martyr stories.

[JackORoses]

2. But don't you know, 'sniper fire' actually means non-existant sniper fire

You Hillarites are a disgrace to this Nation.

[yourguide]

3. So everyone on this board should be under secret service

suspicion for making fun of sniper fire lies...

as well as leno, letterman, colbert, stewart, kimmel, kilborn, conan....

get a friggin grip.

[madeline_con]

12. We're all so friggin' dangerous. n/t

[PoliticalAmazon]

30. Hillarybots want to force us to censor ourselves, by using this fear tactic....

...This is how the Bush/Rove team eunuched Kerry's campaign. Kerry was afraid to go after Bush Jr because the BushJr whining machine would start up and blow it up completely out of proportion.

So nice to have Hillary showing us that she idolizes Bush Jr, and imitates his every move.

[Greyskye]

4. But that makes my eyes hurt!

[Catherina]

6. Hillary's imaginary sniper fire is everywhere. That poor delusional woman n/t

[rodeodance]

15. read what you Leader's camp says:

Investigators say if Hillary Clinton comes to Evansville again the Secret Service will be notified and the young man will be closely watched.

No arrest has been made mainly because it's difficult for police to determine how serious the comment is.

The news broke on the same day Senator Clinton's daughter Chelsea made a campaign stop in Evansville.

[Catherina]

23. Aw sheeet, when did Hillary get afraid of a little sniper fire?

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't dodging sniper fire and coming out unscathed one of her selling points?

Dang. Gotta cross another Hillary selling point off my list.




Hillary supporters. Harrassing comedians everywhere. Don't joke about her young man, we'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget. Fucking pathetic.

[Window]

36. This is just sad.

I'm more worried abut :nuke:'s poor supporters...she seems to be doing just fine...but her supporters are really losing it.

[sniffa]

8. BARRY'S SUPPORTRS HAVE GONE TO FAR!

THEY'VE MOVD ON FORM ISSUING DEATH THREATS TO HER SPPORTERS

[Yael]

18. Hey Sniffa? SInce the HillCamp is broke, can I buy ya a vowel?

:rofl:

[kenny blankenship]

20. I deciphered that as A Charles Bronson Movie now Issued on DVD Format!

[Yael]

37. LOL! That sig pic is awesome

:D

[kenny blankenship]

55. Thanks, people have been saying the nicest things about it tonight ;-)

[DarienComp]

9. "Is it a prank or something more sinister?"

Um, it's neither.

Next question!

[rodeodance]

13. no joke folks--the Sec Serv will be watching him and BHO camp has chimed in:

Investigators say if Hillary Clinton comes to Evansville again the Secret Service will be notified and the young man will be closely watched.

No arrest has been made mainly because it's difficult for police to determine how serious the comment is.

[Orangepeel]

16. The Secret Service has to take everything seriously, no matter how obvious it is that it's a joke

that's what the Secret Service does, and more power to them. That doesn't mean it wasn't obviously just a snide allusion to Clinton's own "sniper fire" remarks.

[rodeodance]

19. One would think that BHO fan would not be so stupid as to play this prank!!

[Orangepeel]

27. fans of all candidates say dumb things.

By the way, it wasn't a "prank." A "prank" involves some action, like if he had been idiotic enough to stage some sort of fake sniper fire (which, thank god, he wasn't idiotic enough to do).

This was a joke based on Clinton's faulty memory. It's no more sinister than if a fan of Clinton made a bad joke about Rev. Wright.

[rodeodance]

40. his action was to write it!! Prob. thought it was funny. He has a lesson to learn.

[Yael]

17. What person in this nation isn't aware of SniperGate?

Good grief.

[rodeodance]

21. the person has tires to the BHO camp--Is he so immature as to play such a stupid joke??

[Yael]

38. The key word there is JOKE

They aren't as funny when they have to be explained...

[rodeodance]

42. well, I hope he learns from his 'joke" . You don't mess around with presidental

candidates and make remarks such as that.

as the article says--the Sec service will be watching him

[Yael]

43. *yawn*

Next?

[rodeodance]

46. I will mark you down for a yawn when and if it happens to Obama. Got it.

[tammywammy]

50. He gave tires to the BHO camp?

That's weird, I wouldn't think the campaign would need tires.

[intaglio]

22. Consider, there are threats made against Obama

on Fundie and extreme RW sites virtually every day and he doesn't publicise it, so I have to ask is this bit of nonsense a way for Hillary to get airtime without paying for it.

[Catherina]

24. Yeah but Obama's not a hysterical idiot and his supporters aren't

trying to teach people lessons.

[Catherina]

25. Delete duplicate

[gateley]

26. That's a threat?

The MSM has been making sniper fire jokes since the story broke -- as did Hillary herself when she was a guest on one of the late night shows.

This has all gone beyond absurd.

Yet Rush Limbaugh...... :eyes:

[cui bono]

29. Oh puhlease... that's a joke about HIlllary's lie. If she hadn't have said it

she wouldn't have to take shots for it. Unlike when she went to Bosnia where there were no shots taken.

ba-dum-bum.

[Straight Shooter]

31. What are his "ties" to the local Obama office?

Thanks, kiddie, for wasting our taxpayer dollars investigating you.

[nashville_brook]

33. you know it's a sectarian schism when everyone loses their sense of humor

hello. Bosnia. sniper fire. it's wit. remember back when people had some?

[Galway girl]

34. he means stop telling fibs Hill

[Thickasabrick]

41. What about the Bill O'Reilly posters that threatened Hillary? Noone

did anything about them that I know of. Much ado about jack

[nomaco-10]

45. I've been thinking since I came back .....

that you might have had some sort of psychotic break, but this post confirms it. I'm pretty sure you are truly DEMENTED!

Don't get off your meds, it's a no win situation for everybody.

I am truly concerned, whether you think so or not.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

47. "The land of the free and the home of the brave" are now terrified of a joke?

Free and Brave + America now = oxymoron.

[emilyg]

49. We'll see how you take a joke like that about Obama.

[Maddy McCall]

52. There's a lesson there. What DUers call a "joke," the SS calls a threat.

So maybe DUers need to be a little more careful with their "jokes."

Because "It was just a joke" won't make the SS go "Oh, OK! Nevermind. HAHAHA!"

[me b zola]

53. Spoken like Dick Cheney or Karl Rove

[JimGinPA]

54. In A Related Story: An 8 Year Old Girl Reading A Poem In Evansville Was Rendered...

To Terra Haute and waterboarded for suspicious activity.

[MethuenProgressive]

56. "Make sure Hillary avoids the sniper fire next time." Wasn't that a DU thread?

Close, at least.

[rodeodance]

58. and they think its a joke.

[Jed Dilligan]

57. But was he wearing Abercrombie and Fitch when he was apprehended?
