Another politician says Hillary Clinton should be hanged



NEWARK, Ohio -- A county official in Ohio is apologizing after a newspaper quoted him as saying presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton "should be hanging from a tree."



Flowers says he made the remark during a casual conversation with two other officials and a reporter from The Advocate that he thought was off the record.

Flowers says he "will never again have a casual conversation with a reporter."

Licking County Democratic Party Chairwoman Grace Cherrington says Flowers' remarks promote "violence and divisiveness."....................

When people who have an amplified voice say things like this, and are allowed to get away with it, it fosters a climate where others will do the same and then slide down that slope. Look at the Trump rallies.

Even as bad as the BFEE got, I NEVER wanted to see Dubya hurt...I wanted to see him stand before a judge and jury.

CONS are sick, violent people.

I never hear of anyone on our side speaking this way about the Donald, even though he may be the worst, most dangerous man to ever be a serious contender for the Presidency.

But you can bet there would me murder if any of us did speak like that. Talking heads on Fox would explode.

...he said "if I offended anyone I'm sorry", but if I DIDN'T offend anyone, I'm going to run with it.

And I like how he backhandedly blames the reporter, he "will never again have a casual conversation with a reporter", like it was the reporter's fault.

They think they own the country...but they don't.

IMO...It's all about the coming demographic shift. Soon whites will be a minority and RW ones don't like the idea of true equality.

Right-wing hatred of HRC is rooted in blatant prejudice and bigotry. They DESPISE any woman who's smarter, more independent, and more capable than they are. They also hate her because she doesn't take their shit.

She runs afoul of their idea of morality: male supremacy, white supremacy, etc., where white men can do whatever they damn well please, but women have to do what men tell them.

though I don't remember so many that were made by elected officials.

I don't think this is so much Trump related as Trump is a product of the same radicalization of the repubilcans by the tea-hadist extreme right.

That this is the state of Ohio where repukes say what they want do what they want, rig elections like they want {atty general Blackwell} nothing will come of this and it will get worse for all concerned. I would like to see one elected democrat take a stand and say hey lets let the FBI look at the Bush-Cheney lies about the war and the WMD lies that were told to the American people. but no we can't do that we have to get along and move on.
