One shot at Arkansas Democratic Party headquarters...

be interesting to see if there is political motivation behind it. if so, it would be the second time in two weeks that something like this has happened....

He's dead.

So, tell us how he could have prevented this death by being armed with a gun of his own.

Maybe Democratic Party HQ's should be armed to the teeth and shoot all white men who approach, just to be safe, demographically speaking.

This is sad. I have no idea why it happened.

My car has a "Gwatney Motors" sticker on it. IMO, they were some of the better dealerships in town.

Absolutely senseless; pretty much everyone is stunned.

This is practically the most mobbed up state in the union and people taking in illegal campaign donations have had their loose ends tied up before.

what in god's name are you talking about? are you suggesting that possibly Gwatney got what he may have deserved?

I'm suggesting that this looks exactly like the politics Clinton/Arkansas style everyone should expect from that quarter.

Talking out of your ass on this one, Baldwin. Without any facts, you blame the Clintons.

This might surprise you, but not all shooting deaths of political figures are caused by the Clintons.

I didn't say the Clintons did it. It seems to be part of the culture of the political machine there.

As an example look into the assassination attempts on Governor Winthrop Rockafeller of Arkansas.

Really why anyone challenges me on this stuff is beyond me. I am so far ahead of you guys on this it's like you were born yesterday.

stupidity and hubris go hand in hand. you're living proof.

So far ahead of the facts yet again--hoping that they will catch up to you eventually before you go sprinting away to the next conjecture.

There's really no decent reply to all this, frankly, except that you have no facts upon which to base your point, Baldwin. None. Puffing yourself up doesn't replace the lack of evidence on your part.

From post 3 : people taking in illegal campaign donations have had their loose ends tied up before.

Does that statement have anything at all to do with this case?

Aparently not bibA. I guess the first tipoff I missed was that he wasn't shot behind the left ear tho right-handed nor did he die in a plane crash. The usual ways for a high profile arky political operative to die.

At least it didn't happen on an Arkansas flight...
"How many souls onboard?" - air traffic control

The pilot then reported, "We have Senator Obama on board the aircraft and his campaign."
...meanwhile back on Winthrop Rockafeller's flight...

Weird. The guy asks about "souls onboard". With Obama's support of infanticide and denying the rights of children who survive abortions, I question as to whether or not he actually does have a soul.

wow.

the Right really does have no shame.

Obama's pilot thought the plane might make a crash landing...

"yea, but Obama is a soulless liberal, so who cares..."

Speaking for myself, I'd hate to see the Clintons or their backers get away with another one.

Another eight years of peace and economic prosperity? Fear not, Hillary will not be the nominee. We'll leave that for Sen. Obama.

Twenty years from now I'm sure Baldwin will be typing from his nursing home bed claiming he would hate to see the Obamas or their backers "getting away with another one".

There's an 'Obama Body Count List'?

OMG unbeknownst to me, there is!

Good call, SZ.

It aint tiddly-winks and the guy is Dick Cheney's eighth cousin. Jury call!

And if something inflates inexplicably inside Obama's plane and he dies, she is so the nominee.

And here I have been filling everyone I know in on what I have learned here.....that this crime was due to Arkansas being a mobbed up state wherein this crime had something to do with people taking in illegal campaign donations and having had their loose ends tied up. That it was politics as usual Clinton style.

Now I find out that Obama is responsible for the murder, that Gwatney was just another victim of "Obama's body count".

Don't I feel stupid having to re-explain that I was mistaken as to just which Democrat was the obvious suspect here. I try to explain that I am getting my information from one who can best be described as the horse's mouth, that this source is just so far ahead of the rest of his contemporaries, morons who were apparently born yesterday.

The only ones I've drawn any final conclusions on are the Clintons. But it did educate me as to just how dirty politics is really played at their level.
