Subject: I am offended by some of what I see on this board. I think we should act RESPONSIBLY. Please read my message now for what is upsetting me. Author: Please forgive me but [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Wed, February 20, 2008 2:17:08 I find it extremely offensive to see messages, even if in jest, even mentioning that Hillary should hire a hit man or words to get Obama or words to that effect. I believe Tommymittenz said it. That type of thing, in my view, should not be permitted. Also, please keep in mind that even joking about something like that can be grounds for people to make trouble. Keep in mind, as a for instance, that if you are at an airport and you joke about hijacking or some such thing you can be (and probably will be) arrested. I don't think it is a good idea for posts to be allowed which even suggest that any candidate might even consider doing something horrible to another candidate. Tommy should know better but apparently he doesn't. That's unfortunate. I will not put in my name because I do not want to engage in a pi**ing contest with Tommy or with anyone else. But I was EXTREMELY OFFENDED to read what Tommy said. I will tell you, by the way, that I am leaning toward Hillary Clinton, even though my gut feeling tells me it's over, and that she would NEVER EVER EVER consider doing what Tommy suggested. I've said my piece. I suggest that we try to act responsibly even if one person here is having problems doing that. There is NOTHING HUMOROUS WHATSOEVER in what Tommy said. NOTHING.

Wed, February 20, 2008 2:47:37 If it was not from the real Tommy, then hopefully he will state that. Regardless it was a terrible thing to say publicly. I thought we were all above that. I guess not. (NT) -- Well....., Wed, February 20, 2008 3:15:21 Excuse me but I think Peggy and Barbara run this board. They don't need *YOUR* advice. If you don't like it, then I suggest you go somewhere else. Tommy did nothing wrong. (NT) -- My two cents, Wed, February 20, 2008 3:45:54 It was Tommy but I didn't think it was that bad because the joke was at the expense of Hillary not Obama. Tommy was trying to conjure up the worst thing Hillary could do and in presenting such a scenario, Tommy recognizes in his own post that it would be an awful thing to do and happen. -- James M, Fri, February 22, 2008 3:53:49 I have a word about Tommy's posts. I call them TOMMYROT. He is hurtful and unapologetic. The best thing about them is his silly name. (NT) -- Well ....., Mon, March 10, 2008 9:15:19 Well, thank you for using an identifiable moniker (which is Well). Im nt being funny, it shows integirty, it does not matter how silly the name is. I do no think that his other posts were that bad but I totally agree with you about the monkey comment. -- James M, Mon, March 10, 2008 5:20:41 He was kidding...lot's worse is getting said here. He's not going to be banned Peggy Mon, March 10, 2008 1:21:02 Re: And it is true that many people ARE worried about Obama's safety. -- Teller, Mon, March 10, 2008 1:26:51 Re: I only fear for Obama's safety if somehow Hillary got on the tickect as the veep candidate. I pray to God that doesn't happen. That's what the Clintons are angling for. The Clintons know -- We all know what happened to Vince Foster, Mon, March 10, 2008 10:43:30
