ABC News' Kate Snow reports: ABC News has learned that Leeland Eisenberg -- the man accused of holding hostages at Hillary Clinton's Rochester, N.H., campaign office for six hours on Friday -- allegedly cited one of Clinton's campaign commercials when police say he entered the office and claimed to have a pipe bomb strapped to his chest.
According to sources, the campaign office intruder was complaining about insurance issues and mentioned a recent campaign ad widely seen by New Hampshire voters.
"She helped that guy, she can help me," Eisenberg allegedly told Clinton campaign staffers, referring to Joe Ward, a Clinton supporter featured in the ad. The intruder then demanded that Sen. Clinton talk with him. On the advice of law enforcement officials, the senator never did.
Eisenberg never actually had a bomb, authorities said, but had road flares strapped to his chest. The hostages could not see what was under his jacket and believed it could be a bomb, they added.
Joe Ward is a New Yorker who was also featured in TV ads when Clinton ran for Senate in 2000.
In the testimonial ad, which features somber piano music, Ward intones: "Let me tell you a little story. My son Joel had a terrible illness. He needed a bone marrow transplant that our insurance wouldn't cover and we couldn't afford. We called Sen. Clinton and asked for help. Her office called the next day, letting us know that the hospital was going to absorb the cost of the transplant. Now her opponents are saying that Hillary can't be trusted? I trusted this woman to save my son's life, and she did."
Good grief. There isn’t anything she can’t do.
Tenant just got home -- talk of the bar --> Leland Eisenberg was a Hildabeast plant/hoax... and this is Massachusetts where a liberal can do no wrong...
Tenant said bar patrons are sick to death of Hildabeast's antics.
The hospital is going to absorb the cost of the transplant.
Uh-huh. Liberal-think in a nutshell.
So this is what we will have when she becomes President....people DEMANDING to be taken care of by Mommy Hillary!
Joe Ward...I'm sorry for your child's illness, but BE A MAN!
I'm sure they had to restrain her from running to the scene.
I feel bad for this guy but the hospital had to pay for his kids' medical costs. Instead of taking out a mortgage like many do and working to pay it off, he called the democRAT mobster and they told the hospital administrator if you want to be able to walk without the use of a cane then you'll do this for free.
I get the feeling we will never hear anything more from this guy. This news story will be long forgotten by Monday!
Does this mean that she will talk to any nut holding hostages if law enforcement officials aren't explicitly against it?
Typical Hillary action - intimidate or threaten a hospital to perform a very costly treatment - for free. I don’t doubt for a minute Hillary would have made the hospital the talk of the town if they had refused to do as she demanded.
This is exactly what the Clintons did regarding flu shots and other types of vaccines. They intimidated and threatened the drug companies and told them they had to dispense these medications for FREE. The drug companies STOPPED MAKING THE VACCINES because they would not be manipulated into giving away their product for free.
Anybody who wants this manipulative person in the WH has rocks for brains.
This incident just exemplifies the need for free Prozac for all Democrats.
"DNC. Job well done.
But before he speaks up, you might consider the SOP of a double tap to the back of his head."
I find it very hard to believe that this situation was resolved in one day........
That’s our Hillary. And she is running for POTUS. Enough to give any normal person a nightmares.
Only an insane person would believe any of this is true.
Meanwhile, back at Hildebeast Headquarters, they are planning and plotting how to exploit more of America’s mentally ill unfortunates.
ED WARD...you need to make an ad thanking the HOSPITAL, you dork!
They do not need to. THEIR vote in in the bag.
"How about a game of Solitaire?"
Don'cha know? President Hillary is going to find us all money from the sky!
Well, the guy is a certified nutjob, that's the first requirement to be a liberal...
Nope, he needs to make an ad thanking the other patients of that hospital, and their insurance companies, and their employers for bearing the third-partying of his kid's illness.
