Here they go again - going after a conservative Republican. This is about free speech in a free society. But because Jerry Duncan is a conservative, the liberal press is trying to "fry" him.

What did he do? Obviously, he was kidding around.

Also - notice that the more liberal members of the City Council somehow miraculously escaped the inquisition. It was suggested that they were warned and were able to DELETE their emails beforehand. FIGURES!

Sheeeeeeesh!

Duncan should apologize, explaining that he really should have said he wanted a clean bomb.

Not necessarily..what would happen if it was the other way around? In these times, you have to watch everything you say or you're going to get a visit...Free Speech? That's as good as being watched for what you read at the library..

But making threats is stupid all the way around. Feel free to express your displeasure - leave the threats for the 12 year olds.

"he really should have said he wanted a clean bomb"

I don't know. The word "bomb" is also insensitive. Maybe he could have used the phrase "chicken finger" instead to imply simulated violence.

We see this time and again. The neocommunists assess the behavior of a Republican office holder and ALWAYS find it so egregious that resignation must follow. They assess the bahavior and then conclude what the appropriate response might be.

When these same folks see similar behavior in another neocommunists or democrat, their response is ALWAYS, "let's put this behind us and move on." The ultra-left wing, liberal-extremist media ALWAYS goes with the neocommunists!

In this regard, the one thing about the dem weasels on a national level that has surprised me is their gailure to employ this tactic with President Bush. They took his SOTUA address and assessed that he had lied (when it was no such thing). One traitorous America-hater urged impeachment for the lie that existed only in his warped mind. But, they have failed to work on "compassionate conservative." I have been surprised that every time Bush does something the weasel dems don't scream "That's not compassionate; he must resign!" Can't you see Nadler, Waxman, well, all the usual snivelers, whining about something Bush did?

Amen to that! (But I'm voting for Tom McClintock.)

The comment itself cannot be defended. That being said, he apologized, so it's time to move on.

As to the HRC folks, if they are appointees and are in essence "employees," Duncan should explore having them brought up on charges of insubordination if they took any actions against him or made public disparaging statements about him.

It wasn't a THREAT at all. Just a silly joke. Jerry Duncan protested with us at the corner of Blackstone & Shaw in Fresno. He's a Patriot.
