Republican thugs are now resorting to taking shots at Las Vegas entertainers because they are democrats.

Perhaps yyou could point out where in this article it says he is Republican or that S&R are Dems?????

I saw this on the news the dude is mentally challenged.

You are really reaching there Uncleb.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Former Oakland Raiders kicker Cole Ford is being sought in a drive-by shooting last month at the home of entertainers Siegfried & Roy, police said Wednesday.
Ford, 31, whose three-year NFL career ended in 1997 after a poor season, was named in a felony warrant stemming from the Sept. 21 shooting, Sgt. Chris Jones said.

Police identified Ford as the owner of a white minivan from which shots were allegedly fired at the compound owned by former illusionists Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn. No one was hurt, but police said shotgun pellets shattered windows and left a hole in a wall.

Police have not said if the men were home at the time.

Jones said police considered Ford armed and dangerous, and said he might be living in a low-budget hotel or camping in southern Nevada or nearby states.

Ford faces six felony warrant charges of discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle and two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon.

Initially, the case was labeled a hate crime after a witness told police the gunman shouted that the entertainers should get out of the country. Later police said it was not bias related.

Ford was drafted out of Southern California in 1995 by the Pittsburgh Steelers, but was released before that season began. He signed with the Raiders, and remained with them for three seasons before being cut in training camp before the 1998 season.

After making 89% of his field goals in 1995 and 77% in 1996, he was successful on just 59% of his attempts in 1997.

Horn and friends celebrated his 60th birthday Sunday at the home northwest of the Las Vegas Strip — a year to the day after a near-fatal mauling by a tiger left Horn partially paralyzed and forced the long-running Siegfried & Roy show to close.

Do you really believe that this guy is a Republican or just a nut?

Bassdude,

My post is a toungue-in-cheek response to the other post by DD in regards to the shots fired into the Bush Tennessee HQ. It is meant as a joke.

A Republican from Oakland, California? ...Like that could happen...Your theory might have a chance if he was from Costa Mesa!

This clearly was the work of a Democrat who was upset that Siegfried & Roy were supporting Ralph Nader and dividing the party!

Democrats, put down the guns and just vote!

Very poor analogy....I really would have expected better from you, but I guess that is not the case.

Now if Sigfried and Roy were working at the LV Flip-Flop Democratic Campaign Headquarters, then your analogy would be valid.

But alas, it was not, which makes my point about the lack of stories about Republican violence against Democrats.

DD,

You are missing my point completely. You take a story about shots fired into the Bush HQ and spin into the whole democratic party being a bunch of crazy gun wielding maniacs. This is just plain supidity.

#1- You don't even know who this person was or what the motivation was. He could have been some husband that was mad that his wife was spending so much time at the HQ. Who knows?

#2- Even if it was a crazed democrat, how can you, as a seemingly intelligent person, then spin it that the whole democratic party is a bunch of crazed gunmen out to kill republicans? This was an individual act. Not a conspiracy by the democratic party.

Jeez, apply a little common sense to things you read.

Way to go, figured the whole thing was silly, as it is silly to assume all Democrats are nuts like Stuart Smalley or whatever name Al Franken is going by lately!

No, you have missed my point.

If you read more closely, rather than just react, you'll see that because of the disproportionately greater occurrence of violence by Democrat wackos against Republicans, the democratic Party, as a whole is tainted, corrupted, and discredited by this
disproportionately abhorrent and viciously violent behavior.

If you cannot understand that point (which I did by using a bit of common sense to discredit your flawed analogy), then there is no point of continuing this discussion.

Whatever DD. You just keep on drumming up your little conspiracy theories and enjoy your little world. I am sure you will be OK in the end.
