hmmm does he work for the campaign?

What's she going to do? Fly over there and negotiate with the alleged bomber? It's not even a hostage crisis anymore. The hostages (a whopping two of them) were released. Way to go media for making a mountain out of a molehill once again.

who exactly is Howard Dean praying to? And why is it okay to pray now?

Let's hope the perp is a wacky leftist and not a conservative.

It's probably just another political stunt developed by the Clinton campaign to garner sympathy.

Wow! Another plant! The polls must say she is in need of some "Sympathy" - what better than a hostage crisis. Hope it is a Moslem - then we can say the crisis is back here right in our homes

Howard Dean prays? That's a shocker...

She probably staged it to take the heat off CNN clintons news network. It's typical of her family. who wants more of this if she gets elected

How convenient is this for Hillary? I would not put it past her or her campaign to set up a publicity stunt.

When did Dean and the DNC start praying?

She probably had the "hostage situation" staged. Obvious plant.

This is all part of Hillary's campaign strategy. Much like her questioners, this hostage taking suicide bomber, too, is really just a plant. She is going to personally negotiate with this "terrorist" and secure the hostages' release. Proving both that she's "tough" and that negotiating with terrorists is the right way to go.

Hillary's first crisis, let's see how she handles it.

Perhaps it is another ploy !

So the DNC can pray openly but kids in schools cannot? Wow!

I bet that this is a staged event to spotlight Hillary as a person who can handle problems.

This is a perfect opportunity for the Democrats to demonstrate their negotiating skills that they say the Republicans should use around the world. They should strive to learn why the alleged bomber is so upset and what they can do to reestablish his faith in them. Attempt to understand and accept his point of view. Certainly Hillary will be able to resolve this issue. This must be a simple misunderstanding I'm sure.

Yay! Sen. DoNothing to the rescue!

Interesting. She doesn't have a problem talking to the terrorist President of Iran who regularly calls for the destruction of the West, but won't talk to some guy with a bomb strapped to his chest. I thought the Democrats percieved these nuts as "freedom fighters." I'm sure the guy is just "misunderstood" and this will end up being "George Bush's" fault. Heck, blame it on Global Warming.

how convenient for howard dean to mention "prayer" only in a time like this....

After the charges that ex-Gov. Willard Mitt Romney arranged the push-polling telephone calls have you checked to find out if some of HRC's friends didn't set this up to gain her sympathy?

Now is Hillary's chance to show America how to negotiate with the terrorits. At long last, she has the opportunity to ask this guy why he hates her and what she can do to correct the problem. America can hardly wait to see such powerful leadership in action! You go girl! Show us how it's done! Put your rhetoric into action! Lead the way! Blaze those trails! Show Bush how to negotiate with the ones who hate you!

Lets see how this "leader" handles a minor terroristic incident...diplomacy, dragging it out for maximum media attention or SWAT!

Why would Clinton worry about this ? My guess is that this is one of her plants doing this so she does not have to answer any tough questions..

Hillary should walk in and talk with this guy. She must try to understand his problems. She is going to do this kind of work with terrorist if she gets elected. She can now prove what a tough guy she is. good luck, hillary

Such situations as this are truly regretable. Once again man chooses to solve his personal opinions in a dastardly way. However, I am stuck that such a time aa this we ask people to pray. We seem to be able to handle everything except dire circumstances. We need God at all times, good and bad. We need to be reminded that God needs to be considered in all situations. Especially when we are making judicial, legislative, and executive decisions that allows evil to reign. God will not be mocked.

I could take a wild guess and predict that Hillary will end up blaming a "vast right-wing conspiracy" for this fruitcake, who invaded her offices.

John

Keep drinking the kool-aid, Ron.

Maybe she should try sanctions....

DOUBLE DITTO ALL OF THE COMMENTS!!!

What a joke, let's see who this joker is in reality and what he is actually carrying. If it turns out to be a real bomb or not, then I'd like to know what or who led him to do this.

Here's a scenario...the bomber/terrorsit says he's got hostages and has other plots to imminently harm or kill Americans.

Is torture off the table Mrs. Clinton? Quick...we need an answer!

To Carl Carter: Yes, anyone can pray, but when someone mandates prayer--like in a school--that's when there's a problem.

To Ron: Obviously this is a perfect opportunity for Republicans to step in and show how quickly they can defuse this situation--get it? DEFUSE--of course they probably will end up arming other insane people with even bigger bombs and creating a bigger mess out of the situation. Maybe Bush could goad the bomber into detonating his device like he goaded Iraqi insurgents to "Bring it on" and attack our troops.

Tom: Do you also believe that George W staged 9/11?

There are insane people in this world that do insane things, this is one of those times. How dare the three of you attempt to make this into anything other than what it is: A lunatic is holding people hostage.

Boy, when you Jesus freaks get pissed you really go overboard.

This is only the first outbreak of republican inspired violence as the right wing gets truly desperate to hold onto power.

I'm betting the bomber is Sean Hannity.

It is clear that this situation is the fault of the following: Global Warming, George W. Bush, Dick Chenney, Don Rumsfeld, Rush Limbaugh, Talk "Hate" Radio, Fox News Channel, The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, Neocons, Paleocons and to a lesser extent Barack Obama

This guy must be one of those Youtube undecided
Repuliican voters from the other night.

who are you people? The insensitivity is astounding. I can only assume you are all right-wing wackos.

What amazes me most is that I'm in the majority, when my first thought was "she staged this, too." I figured for a "sympathy" vote. My next question is, How did W do this to her? You have to know it's his fault. What a cracker she is!

There's really only one solution to this problem: IMPEACH BILL CLINTON. It worked so well before. All the problems in American, nay, THE WORLD went away after Billy boy went under the hot lights. Oh wait, the problems got worse. Hmm...

For all those who made snarky comments about Dems praying etc. What happens if this situation is resolved peacefully with no one getting hurt? Does that mean that GOD blessed Hillary Clinton's office and performed a miracle on her behalf? See, now you're hoping that someone gets hurt. Every single one of you is awful.

WHO IS HOWARD DEAN GOING TO PRAY TO? CHRIST,GOD ALLAH,BUDDAH,QUICK HOWARD PICK SOMEONE MAYBE THE NEA. GEORGE SOROS HURRYYYYY

He was angry his video was not used like the other Clinton videos during the Boob Tube Communist News Network debate. Maybee this is a vast right wing conspiracy. We need to know why he hates us(please note the whinning), can we give him a big Liberal hug, give him some of the entitlement tit to suck on. Too many questions and Hillary (HillBilly) Clinton is nowhere to be found.

Hey Hillary, No tip again at the local burger joint ? This time ya got the wrong waitress mad.

Now let's watch how the media will portray this guy. If he is a Republican or ever voted for one he will be described as a "crazed right-wing nut job seeking vengeance" and the words conservative, republican will be plastered all over the story. Now if he is a Democrat/liberal it will not be mentioned once nor will his party affiliation be brought up either. Wait and see.

Show a little compassion here for people who went through this. It's pretty terrifying to be in that situation.
It's not Hillary's place to negotiate for hostages, so stop ridiculous comments. I might not agree with Hillary's views, but I respect that she has a different opinion to mine.

Just in time to avoid answering post-speech questions!! lol!!

Hostage crisis? A crisis? What a flippin' joke!! Why did he let the woman with the baby go if he were truly trying to "terrorize"? Hollywood style political hype. The politicos have sunk to a new low. This one stinks to hog heaven. The "bomb" is probably a bong and jumbo chocolate candy bars. Way to go Hillary. Sick media ploy... really, sick.

Way to go Hillary...your first hostage crisis and you blow it!

WAKE UP, AMERICA Just what the gun-grabbin' scum needs. The guy is a fed, and so are the hostages.

Hillary can no longer dodge tough crisis situations by saying that she won't comment on hypotheticals. Here's a REAL situation where she'll be questioned on how she handled...

Holy Snykies! I thought I hated Hillary!
love it!

Man, I thought liberals hated Bush, nothing like the conservobot wild eyed hatred for Mrs. Clinton...

I guess this is the way christians react to problems.

Wow, look at this situation! Nobody even notices the frightening seen of what a police state looks like. Where are the police? It looks like a military takeover operation to me. Why can't we use the police to handle situations like this? This is to send a message to the general population: you live in a military police state! This is probably all staged and planted to give Hillary notoriety and usher in the New World Order!

C'mon folks. Easy. I'm no fan of Hillary's, but lets not pounce on what appears to be a senseless tragedy. This ain't about politics. This is a dangerous individual, no matter what he believes in.

Are you sure it wasn't BILL?

I just read that Hillary cancelled her DNC talks and shut down all her Iowa offices. Is this a prelude to her presidency, run and hide. Way to go girl.

Democracy is weak. The neolib/neocon movement is strangling your freedoms, and people will not be terrorized by their own government anymore. The New World Order will not prevail. If you consider yourself a patriot, stand up for the constitution before we find ourselves trapped in a feudal state controlled by the Corporation.
FREEDOM, LIBERTY, JUSTICE

Pretty sad and telling, too. Billary and Bubba needing to do something to soften her up, and make her look tough as well.

Liberal democrat party - same thing - is such a joke.

Ron, you and Dean can yell now...

wow. bunch of right wing morons posting here. At the moonie paper. what a surprise. face it, your lord and savior, GW bush is a tool and has ruined this country. No amount of mocking democrats will undo that.

I smell another plant, you can't believe anything at face value when dealing with the Clintons.

Where are Hillary's diplomacy efforts? Instead she run for cover. What does this tell you as her ability to be Commander in Chief and deal with the real nasties?

Oh, Hilary.

I am betting the when the truth comes out, It was actually a neighbor of Hillarys. He couldn't stand the stench any longer of her crusty pant suit and the "bomb" was a super sized version of an Air Wick.

Unfortunately before it could be deployed some Hillary aide complete with a clothspin on his nose disarmed the "Crusty Pant Suit Terrorist".

Howard Dean is praying that the perp is not a muslim nor an illegal alien. Bill's wife is praying the perp didn't stuff his pants with campaign memos and other records from the pile marked 'stuff to bring up 1 week before the primary'.

This smells of a vast right wing conspiracy!!!

Dean can pray to "God" because everyone on his side knows that it is a stunt during election season. The Democrats don't want kids to pray, because they might actually mean it.

I don't care who you are, That there is Funny!

I thought I should be ashamed of myself for my first thoughts that this would be just like something that Hillary would pull. Now I am seeing that many others thought the same thing. She will implode before it's over, too much baggage and too much distrust.

HILLARY SEND IN THE MARINES.

Typical Republican. If you can't beat em try and blow em up.
Duh!
I've read some of the responses here and I think some of you folks need to go back to school and learn how to write.
God! You guys are hilariously stupid.

SHE WILL FEEL HIS PAIN. IF SHE DOESN'T, BILL WILL.

Seems like a media stunt to take the heat off Bill.

Wow, I feel so safe now knowing Hill can deal with a terror situation!! Probably nothing more than a disgruntled employee or someone that found his wife with Bubba. It's obvious this was staged to make Hill look good. She can't say what she really believes so these little episodes are staged in an attempt to make her look good.

Hillary is stuped! Most stupedist cadidate there is...... she is prbobly the one that did all of thiis.

Hillary's first test as Commander in Queef

Sounds like that's it for Clinton. No matter what the outcome is from this, she's going to lose credibility.

Smells like a Clinton stunt. Reminds me of the dancing on the beach stunt. Couldn't trust the Clintons then--can't trust them now!

A mentally ill person takes two hostages at the Clinton HQ and she decides its inappropriate to campaign during this. Sounds reasonable to me.

Instead, you bunch of fascist morons berate her and launch a tirade of sick accusations. Your compassionate conservatism is showing its true colors.

NOMINATE MONICA LEWINSKY INSTEAD

If Hillary can claim having first-hand White House experience from having been close to the president THEN we have to consider that Monica Lewinsky herself may have been closer to the Presidency.

In this respect, Monica Lewinsky can claim more experience with the Presidency and the Whitehouse than can be claimed by Hillary Rodham Clinton.

So then, why not NOMINATE MONICA LEWINSKY instead.

woof woof

As an atheist, I find it interesting that apparently I'm (again) the sanest person in the room.

Not to make the events equivalent, but at least Bush kept reading to the kids. Hillary cancels her DNC talk. That's real leadership....can't even stand tough with a friendly audience.

Maybe Hillary should call for an invasion of Bosnia-------Oh, silly me. She used that one to divert attention from the Bill & Monica porn show.

Hillary should show us her negotating skills, that she will need if she elected POTUS, this could be a good trial for her..

Is his last name Lewinski?

Let me guess, she will go talk him out and be declared a hero. I am surprised she didn't wait to pull this stunt until one of the debates so she wouldn't have to answer any questions.

Hillary did not plant the hostage taker...she planted the hostages...

Here we go again...the right and left arguments...liberal and conservative. Can any of us see that Bush built this type of police state that we live in and that Hillary Clinton will just carry it on? Just look at the frightening pictures of police state operations at hand. Personally, I do not like to see a bunch of tyrants dressed in camo and black toting machine guns for something like this. Again, can't the police handle it? The whole thing is staged! This should not be about partisan politics but maintainng freedom and stopping the fascism!

I don't see what is so hard for Hillary in this.

I am sorry for the hostages, pray for their safety. Is this what is hard, the "hard situation" she is "dealing" with?

Is she going to lead the SWAT team in to rescue her troops? Figure out which shadow to jump at next?

How to use this to make up for the cancellation of her fundraiser at Dickie Scrugg's house (now there are some birds of a feather)?

Terrible for those at risk, but Hillary ain't one of them. She is an observer.

The queen has no clothes, and it isn't pretty! Why does everyone think the worst of the Clintons even given the incident in New Hampshire? When someone (Clinton) has given no indication that she can be trusted, is it any wonder that no one trusts him/her?

The Hegelian Dialectic - the solution to any premeditated outcome and/or goal. I agree with Brad - it's a campaign strategy! Hey, maybe they'll blame it on one of Ron Paul's supporters and Glenn Beck can say "I told you so". Buckle up it's going to be a turbulent ride!

Talk about freaking out and losing her cool -- now whenever someone wants to put a wrench into Hillary's plans all they have to do is attack one of her campaign offices in some way and they know she'll just freak out

She should have trusted the police in NH to do their job and then focus on sticking to her schedule -- not ignoring the crisis but mentioning it in her speech before the DNC.

She sure doesn't have the temperment to be President.

I usually don't pray but after reading the wackos on this thread I think it's time to ask God to help y'all.

A sad human being off his meds did a dumb thing today. No one was hurt. No one was killed.

I suggest y'all go back home now and take your meds.

We don't need any more problems in America today.

Peter, Peter, Peter! Is there any reason folks would distrust Hillary? Why do people immediately think of something sinister when the Clinton's are involved? They are low-class boors who cannot be trusted. Period!

Reason for Hillary's cancellation at the DNC:

This, my friends is a good indication of what kind of a leader Hillary will be in a world crisis. Her non-appearance at the DNC exposes her real DNA

It's pure ruthless strategy for preventing Hillary's exposure to potential criticism and attacks. She is not strong enough to handle them.

In no way will She take the chance of an appearance to be accused of insensitivity while someone is being held hostage. She is a weak leader

Will Hillary be the first president to be wearing "DEPENDS" during a crisis? Holy CRap!////

By being in those states she has offended him and must acknowledge his human rights. She caused this incident by establishing an office in NH in this mans backyard. What did she think was going to happen when she took over that property? She should let him keep the property. Does she expect him to go to a hospital or jail? That's cruel and against his human rights. Carrying bombs into the building is what you get when you do the things clinton has done. If he killed dozens of innocent people it would all be Hillary's fault for antagonizing this man.

by god, she has done it again. runs away from confrontation. how is she going to lead this nation?

She didn't have anything to do with this, BUT, her response is telling. Hide-and-seek time.

BE NICE TO HILLARY...SHE IS CLEAN.

She has experience in
::> cleaning out closets
::> cleaning out Vince Foster's pockets
::> cleaning out Foster's office of significant files and documents(and she had to do it on such short notice.)
::> cleaning out the White House of property not belonging to her
::> making a clean 100,000 profit via a phony investment scheme.
::> cleaning Willie's female track record by destroying the females who treathened to come forward.
HILLARY IS CLEANER THAN MOTHER THERESA

Hillary plants another one to give CNN another opportunity to get promote her. But Howard Dean finding religion and endorsing prayer is enough to make this entire staged event worth every dollar George Soros could spend

HILLARY AND VINCE FOSTER

Has anyone ever checked for White House time records to parallel them with the cleaning out of Vince Foster's Office.

What if it could be established that Foster's office was cleaned out before they even found his body....BYE BYE HILLARY

Wow, reading these comments I get the impression some one has been yelling "Wolf" (planted questions & situations) too many times and the public won't believe Mrs. Clinton when a real issue comes into play . Don't forget the "Staged Picture Op" when Pres. Bill Clinton was on CNN live walking along Normandy beach and Pres. Clinton "happens" to stop and right behind him in the near distance is a Navy destroyer and Clinton leans over and picks up a good sized rock when the rest of the beach is sand only.The rock would be called a mark if he were on a stage. Was this photo opp staged, you know the truth, yes! These two were so meant for each other.

Anyone wanna take bets on how fast she gives this guy a presidential pardon? No wait, the article says he didn't have any business dealings with Tony Rodham or Roger Clinton. Deals off. My bad.

This is a what if scenario. What would she do as President if a hostage crisis occurs and she is supposed to speak at a, lets say anti-terror conference? Compassion is a definite plus, but at what risk? I'm sure Putin and Jintao are watching this very closely.
