    There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.

    Damn that fool! What a cowardly and undemocratic action.

    And also, realpolitik -ally - if he is a Clinton-hater, what a moronic way to get her loads of sympathy and portray people against her as wackos!

    Good grief.

    This is terrible. He is now asking to speak to Hillary. She is gonna look like some sort of hero if she diffuses the situation.

    Bad deal, man

    IF being the prominent word. She's got the potential to look like a hero, but she might not step up to the challenge. Personal bravery and principles was never a strong suit of the Clintons.

    I just hope the guy gives up peacefully.

    Of course. Most people at my job wonder if that is the case, regardless of partisan position. This can do nothing but wonders for her campaign really, unless something goes horribly awry. I think it's just some nut

    Good timing. The gay general and his ilk now this. And all just after the news that she was falling behind Obama in Iowa.

    He might have sent off some secret campaign info off to her rivals if he was smart

    Still, overall, this would give her campaign a slight sympathy boost, although only very temporary. If it were staged, it would have been better timing to put it a few days before the actual elections.

    If he was just some attention seeking nut, she probably won't get as much sympathy as if he were anti-Hillary.

    At least everyone's safe, it sounds like.
