Dr. Jill Rowland is running against far left socialist Louise Slaughter in New York.

Last night a man with a knife came into the hotel lobby and threatened Dr. Rowland during a question and answer round table.

I admire Jill - she is in deep welfare-public union-blue territory, fighting against the hideous “dentures” Slaughter.

[TheThinker]

So why isn’t this on the front page. Oh, that’s right, the knife was pulled on a Republican.

“So why isn’t this on the front page.”

Yeah, why not?

We’ve just got to keep pushing, that’s what we must do.

This country is truly on the edge of destruction and we’ve got to keep pushing it back.

Louise Slaughter is the dem who came up with the idea that they could “deem” the healthcare bill passed rather than vote on it. She is seen as unbeatable, but now I’m not so sure.

Chickens are coming home to roost.

[HiTech RedNeck]

A Slaughter fan wanted to slaughter her Republican opponent... literally.

Loon pulls a knife, you pull a .45-end of story(and hopefully end of loon, too!)

I personally, will be holding my breath until Chris Mathews compares this guy to Nazis.

If was he a white male from a Christian background, Joy Behar would be raving about how scarey “these people” are and how they should all be locked up. If, however, he was a Muslim man, it would be an utter outrage to suggest that his religious background or ethnicity had anything to do with his conduct. And Whoopi and Barbara would be nodding in agreement. This passes for “reason” on the left.

I Googled the local Rochester newspaper, the Rochester Democrat Chronicle, did a site search and found no mention of the incident. However, in an editorial dated Oct 23 the paper endorsed Louise Slaughter “An unapologetic liberal...” to use the paper's phrase.
Any connection/ naw, a conservative republican woman being threatened in public with a knife is not news in the Democrat-Chronicle. However, if someone has used the “N” word, that is news. New York state is a dead intellectual zone.

Anyone look for the Union Label on the guy?

[The Mayor]

I was just with Jill the other night. I know everyone on her campaign staff. This is sick.... I will have to call her.

[george76]

Was this likely a muslim attacker at that Turkish event ?

[who knows what evil?]

I’m SURE this will receive the same blanket coverage that the ‘womyn’ whose head was ‘stomped’ in Kentucky received...you just wait.

[The Mayor]

I don’t know, I will wait to talk to her.
