Clintonite Stabs Obama Supporter
Cops: Man assaulted brother-in-law during political argument
FEBRUARY 25
Meet Jose Antonio Ortiz. The Pennsylvania man allegedly stabbed his brother-in-law in the stomach after the pair quarreled about their respective support of Democratic presidential candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. According to cops, Ortiz, 28, stabbed Sean Shurelds last Thursday night in the kitchen of an Upper Providence Township home.
According to a criminal complaint, a copy of which you'll find here, the 41-year-old Shurelds, an Obama supporter, told Ortiz that the Illinois senator was "trashing" Clinton (apparently in regard to recent primary and caucus results). Ortiz, a Clinton supporter, replied that "Obama was not a realist." While not exactly fighting words, the verbal political tiff led to some mutual choking and punching. And, allegedly, a stabbing in the abdomen. Ortiz, pictured in the mug shot below, was charged with a felony aggravated assault count and two misdemeanors and jailed in lieu of $20,000 bail. Shurelds was flown to Hahnemann University Hospital, where he was admitted in critical condition.

It's the knives I tell you, they must be outlawed. LOL I thought all Democrats are about kumbaya and understanding, hope and change.
I wonder if we will be seeing more of this stupid kind of thing.
Hillary's people have not been too happy lately either:
Somber Clinton Soldiers On as the Horizon Darkens ....article is two pages and has other information about what is going on inside her campagin.
There is a widespread feeling among donors and some advisers, though, that a comeback this time may be improbable. Her advisers said internal polls showed a very tough race to win the Texas primary — a contest that no less than Mr. Clinton has said is a “must win.” And while advisers are drawing some hope from Mrs. Clinton’s indefatigable nature, some are burning out.Morale is low. After 13 months of dawn-to-dark seven-day weeks, the staff is exhausted. Some have taken to going home early — 9 p.m. — turning off their BlackBerrys, and polishing off bottles of wine, several senior staff members said.
Some advisers have been heard yelling at close friends and colleagues. In a much-reported incident, Mr. Penn and the campaign advertising chief, Mandy Grunwald, had a screaming match over strategy recently that prompted another senior aide, Guy Cecil, to leave the room. “I have work to do — you’re acting like kids,” Mr. Cecil said, according to three people in the room.
Others have taken several days off, despite it being crunch time. Some have grown depressed, be it over Mr. Obama’s momentum, the attacks on the campaign’s management from outside critics or their view that the news media has been much rougher on Mrs. Clinton than on Mr. Obama.
And some of her major fund-raisers have begun playing down their roles, asking reporters to refer to them simply as “donors,” to try to rein in their image as unfailingly loyal to the Clintons.

This is just lovely. Nothing says "Vote for me" like a dysfunctional family stabbing!
At least in my family, we can agree to disagree--we all like different candidates and we make fun of each other by email, but we would never stoop so low as to hurt another member of our family.
This ought to tell America that we would be in such trouble should one of the dummys win. Both need to watch their heads and their backsides--there are those out there who are so uptight that they would think nothing of knocking off one of them.

Wait until the general electioneering starts. The Nader bunch will be frustrating the Dems. Maybe a lot of the loony (Ron)Paulies will join the Naderites and really get a circus going.

Be careful who you step on.... Well, well, well, that fall must be fearsome for Billery. Like the old man used to say at hog feeding time. That which doesn't make fat will make fertilzer.
"KBars For Everyone!!!!!" I like that, I'll keep mine sharp and handy, it would be a waste of superior steel, Steve.
From what I've seen in the world, Communists don't mind how many die for the cause. Cheap but just as effective, let's arm both Democrat camps with lengths of sharpened re-bar so they can get their digs in, let the show begin.

Mack (Steve) the Knife, same here. If they get rid of each other they are nuts anyway. I was wondering if they were illegals or not. ( just a thought)
