The current mayor of Richmond, Va Douglas Wilder,says that riots will occur if Hillary Clinton and her group supporters use superdelegates to thwart any Barack Obama lead in the convention.
Hillary Clinton is even trying to go after Obama's pledged delegates.
This is a quote from Douglas Wilder:
There will be chaos at the convention,” Wilder told Bob Schieffer on “Face the Nation.”
“If you think 1968 was bad, you watch: In 2008, it will be worse.”
riots in the streets, why not? It sounds a little like racial stereotyping to me. Lets see, black people rioting in the streets after a perceived injustice. Yep, fits right into the stereotypical black reaction to me. Where's Rodney King when you need him? Can't we all just get along? lol
Would there be riots if Hope Man looses to McCain?
It appears Black leadership is setting the stage. It unlikely, neither one will get enough delegates so it is going to brokered and Black leadership is already setting the stage for riots.
It must be the usual Black demand, give it to me, you owe it to me because your ancestors owned slaves.
Where Al Sharpton?
He seems rather quick to attempt to give legitimacy to lawlessness but it is not surprising. Kind of like going into a bank and asking for a large loan with no ability to repay and no intent to repay and informing the banker (and showing him the gun)that if the loan is denied the bank will be robbed in order to do justice to a needy customer. Ah yes, liberalism and the art of non violence as they see it. Seems more like aggravated thuggery.
Will there be riots if Bush-McCain loses to Barack Obama? All of the frustrated cons, running around, brandishing their firearms and generally doing what they know how to do - destroy the country.
No riots, Rockmeat. You and the other limp wristed whining libbies will scare them off and socialism-pinkoism will flourish, we will be delivered into utopia.
i will enjoy the chaos all the more, as in 1968 I was not old enough to be interested or to undertand the stakes, shoul chaos indeed come to pass
i think we need to flag ex-Gov wilder's comment for a Hyperbole Alert.
not that I wouldn't take a reporter's comments as always true!
I don't think that saying trouble in 2008 could be worse than 1968 equates to legitimizing race riots.
Hyperventilation rarely helps. Of course, neither does tolerance of bullshit.
