Attempted Ford assassin: Free after 32 years in prison, Sara Jane Moore says she was ‘mistaken’
msnbc ^ | May 28, 2009 | Gerald DeMarco

Posted on 05/28/2009 9:32:38 AM PDT by JoeProBono

Free after 32 years in prison, Sara Jane Moore says she was wrong, “misled” and “mistaken” in trying to assassinate President Gerald R. Ford in September 1975. However, she added: “I still believe if I hadn’t done it, someone else would.” “It was a time people don't remember. We had a war in this country, the Vietnam War,” Moore told Matt Lauer in an exclusive interview on TODAY Thursday.

“This is going to sound a little strange, but I really thought that it would trigger a new revolution. We were saying the country needed to change, the only way it was going to change was a violent revolution. I genuinely thought that this might trigger that new revolution in this country.”

“She was a product of those times in a not very successful fashion,” said NBC News’ Tom Brokaw.

Yeah, she got caught. The successful ones are Obama neighbors who still reminisce about killing people back in the good old days.

Why does her semi-justification sound like something straight out of Code Pink? And why is it these nuts only feel this obligation towards Republicans. Why was LBJ never “targeted” quite as pointedly? Why was George Bush hammered, yet Obama follows his nearly identical policies and the hard left is silent? Could it be that liberals always find some excuse to slip into radicalism as a means to wrestle away power?

You asked — why is she even free?

Well, she actually answered that for you, in the article... LOL...


As for those who say she should never have been released, Moore says: “We have a Constitution and we have laws. Regardless of who you are, there were conditions to be met for me to be paroled, and I met those conditions.

“If people object to that, write your congressman and ask that your law be changed.”


And, actually, I would have to agree with anyone who said that. It sounds fairly accurate to me...

You took the wind out of my sails, JoeProbono.

There are still a few of us who know that the Vietnam war was winding down when Nixon was still in the White House. The war was over when Gerald Ford became President.

Did Mr.Lauer not know these facts? Nobody does any research over there at NBC? This is pretty basic stuff.

It was rhetorical. I do think that if one attempts to assasinate
a US president that life in prison without parole is a good idea.
Although, they could still be pardoned. I know that Sirhan Sirhan
is always up for parole but can’t quite convince the board to
let him go.

“I still believe if I hadn’t done it, someone else would.”

She sounds SO remorseful, while explaining how moany other people agree with what she did.

“It was a time people don’t remember. We had a war in this country, the Vietnam War,”

Uh huh,,Ok, got it. April 30, 1975, Saigon fell completely. American troops had been absent for 2 years. After the April 75 fall, NO Americans whatsoever were there. She shot at Ford in Sept of 1975.

Just because someone looks like a grandma doent mean anything. They might have been an evil SOB 40 or 50 years before. Don’t be hoodwinked.

However, she added: "I still believe if I hadn't done it, someone else would."

Squeaky Fromme also attempted to assassinate President Ford, so I suppose the belief is confirmed.

It was a time she apparently doesn't remember, either, if she thinks the U.S. was still fighting the Vietnam War in 1975.

The only research at NBC for Lauer is "What is the hottest hair-style for 20 year old men this year?"

Well...let's see.

In order for her to spout her victimhood, she'll be on larry "brain dead" king, oprah "I've got mine, sucka" win-free, and two Sunday morning talk shows no doubt interviewed by our gal katie "duuuhhh" couric.

After that, she'll be invited to the "white" house, given the medal of freedom by barry for her personal statement against the republican conservatives, then it'll be off to capitol hill where she'll address the congress about how all the slimy repubs were biased against her kind all along.

Then, she be given a "free" GM car, a "free" house, "free" living expenses (all of course from your and my tax dollars) and a book deal with the up front fee of $2.99MM paid to her in cash as part of the "new victims bailout" fund established by our terriffically beautiful "first" "lady" michelle "movin' on up" obammer!

WHADACOUNTRY!!

Here's Obama's Air Force One photo op of the event:

Saigon fell on May 10, 1975, she made her attempt on September 22, 1975.
