California Democratic Party Spokesman Bob Mulholland apologized Monday night for warning Arnold Schwarzenegger that 'real bullets' will be coming his way during his campaign to be governor... Developing...

>>How DARE the Media let the DNC get away with

How dare law enforcement not enforce the law. We'll see what happens, but I won't hold my breath.

Who was it that said dems wanted to take our projectiles away and control our guns? (/sarcasm off) What a disgusting man...

[SerpentDove]

I swear I came to the same conclusion independently. LOL

[GOPJ]

Yeah, they're real sweethearts...

Another memorable comment from one of those so-called "kind-hearted" Democrats.

[Quix]

U GOT THAT RIGHT!

All for Allah.

All for Shrillallah!

All for the demon moon god.

All for the demonic mooning cheeks (on BOTH ends of her torso).

God help us all.

Bob Mulholland is a despicable excuse for a human being. This is his M.O. He's not as vocal as Carville, but he is more vile. He's just a rotten individual. That the Democrats would associate themselves with this man, let alone allow him to be their lead man in California should tell you volumes.

Mulholland was on Buchanan & Press earlier yesterday, and here is what he said:

BUCHANAN: When we return, a leading Democrat in California is in hot water tonight for making the following comment.

BOB MULHOLLAND, CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY ADVISER: Schwarzenegger is going to find out that unlike a Hollywood movie set, the bullets coming at him in this campaign are going to be real bullets, and he’s going to have to respond to them. This is not a campaign for Schwarzenegger. When things get a little tough, he’s going to be able to say cut.

BUCHANAN: I’m Pat Buchanan. Ahead, a top Democrat in California is in hot water for his comments about “The Terminator”. We’ll talk with him next. You stay tuned.

BUCHANAN: Welcome back. The Democratic counter offensive against Arnold has begun. Gray Davis appeared on the “Today” Show with his wife Sharon.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) GOV. GRAY DAVIS (D), CALIFORNIA: Well, there’s no question the people will take a look at what their choices are and I think Arnold Schwarzenegger will be the first to tell you he’s got a lot-a long ways to go to explain what he would do as governor. Californians are very fair minded. I trust them, and I know they’ll do the right thing on October 7.

BUCHANAN: Right now, though, Governor Davis, some 60 percent want to remove him. With us now, however, is Bob Mulholland, an advisor to the Democratic Party in California and one of the most prominent Democrats in the state.

I want to ask you, Bob, if you will listen again to that statement that you made apparently on ABC and I saw it this morning on “Drudge” headline and let’s listen-let everyone listen to it.

MULHOLLAND: Schwarzenegger is going to find out that unlike a Hollywood movie set, the bullets coming at him in this campaign are going to real bullets and he’s going to have to respond to them. This is not a campaign for Schwarzenegger when things get a little tough is going to be able to say cut. (END VIDEO CLIP)

BUCHANAN: Bob, Maria Shriver, who’s a member of the Kennedy family, said you know this is a little inflammatory, especially when you consider the kind of bullets with which her family has had to deal. Do you think you made a mistake in using that kind of terminology?

MULHOLLAND: What I really intended to say and I slipped was real political, real political because of the issues that are important to the people of California that Schwarzenegger seems to have either a hearing problem or mental gap. And later that day on Sunday we finally found out he supported Prop. 187. But, Pat, aren’t you the guy as a presidential candidate that used terms like lock and load, grab the pitch fork and you’re going to put Bill Clinton in the crossfire.

BUCHANAN: Yes, but I didn’t say we were going to use real bullets on people...

MULHOLLAND: Lock and load...

MULHOLLAND: Look, let’s not jump...

BUCHANAN: Lock and load has to do with a musket.

MULHOLLAND: Well...

MULHOLLAND: ... real bullets. Let’s not exaggerate. I’m talking about substantive issues that Schwarzenegger couldn’t remember to answer, such as paid family leave and releasing his taxes for five years...

BUCHANAN: All right...

[GOPJ]

Can liberals feel shame? Maybe...

Where did he apologize? Who made him apologize? (My bet it was the Kennedy's.)

[veronica]

What a scummy guy. Saw him on Hannity last night.

[B Knotts]

Hey...getting any kind of apology out of Bob Mulholland is a major accomplishment.

I think it also indicates that the DemocRATS are starting to worry about their ability to go negative.

[princess leah]

What a bitter, jealous prick of a scumbag...Arnold has everything this loser doesn't have and Mulch-holland can't accept it!

[cold_dead_fingers]

I was wrong, Mullholland did use the word apologize, but it was not a true apology. He apologized for using "Hollywood words." What a maroon.

[DoughtyOne]

Isn't this typical. When Bill Clinton was at his worst, his only defense was to trash any historical figure he could glom onto. Here Mulholland's defense is to compare his comment to Buchanan's "lock and load". Buchanan's was a call to action. It wasn't an impliction or direction that someone would or should use violence to further their agenda. It didn't predict any political figure was going to face real bullets.

Another ploy of Mulhollands is to damn Schwarzenegger for not revealing his plan to bring the state back to fiscal solvency. Pardon me Mr. Mulholland, has it occured to you that after four and one half years, your guy hasn't revealed his plan either? Duh!

[billhilly]

Exactly. An ordinary republican would not have merited an apology.

[billhilly]

Grey Davis' last pardon.

Sirhan-Sirhan, here is your pardon, and by the way, Arnold has been sleeping with your sister.

[Rytwyng]

Waiting to hear news of an arrest.... and waiting.... and waiting....

[bmwcyle]

I sorry for getting caught and forced to say I'm sorry. I am a DEM.

[ffusco]

You're right!
