Attempt to place Review-Journal obituary for Hillary Clinton prompts report to Secret Service

[boston bean]

The Las Vegas Review-Journal on Friday reported a possible threat related to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton after a man tried to place an obituary notice for the former secretary of state.

The man, who identified himself as Don Schubert, was asked to leave the newspaper building's lobby after he filled out a standard obituary form identifying the deceased as Hillary Rodham Clinton, and listing her date of death as Feb. 20, 2016, the date of Saturday's Democratic Party presidential caucuses. Previously he had called the newsroom to complain about the coin flips that determined the outcome of some Iowa caucuses last month.

The man was seen leaving the RJ parking lot in a maroon Toyota Prius bearing several Bernie Sanders campaign stickers. A security guard said he was also wearing a Sanders sticker on his shirt. The official Sanders campaign website lists "Don Schubert's House" in Long Beach, Calif., as the site of a volunteer phone bank.

Note to jury: that was a reference to the saying throw the kitchen sink/drain/ septic tank. I did not compare anyone to "human waste". Thank you for serving.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. You are implying poor character on Hillary Clinton's part.

How does some cretin wishing she was dead reveal poor character on her part?

I would hope you would join me and all people of good conscience in maintaining such noxious sentiments have no place in the public square.


Thank you in advance.

13. I'm doing what what now? Where in my post do you see Hillary's name? Tia!

How about you get off that high horse and stop making false accusations about other people?

Ms. Bean is the seminal poster. If you apologize to Ms. Bean for suggesting she is akin to human waste I promise to apologize for any slight you think I committed.


Let's see if we can reach some common ground. Would you agree that the gentleman who went to the physical office of the Las Vegas Review Journal to place an obituary for Hillary Clinton displays a combustible mix of zealotry and cretinism, and such a mix is potentially dangerous ?

Thank you in advance.

[beam me up scottie]

70. Why should I apologize for something I didn't do?

That is rich, since you don't seem to offer the same lee way to others.

However, I will take into consideration the post you were responding to and where said they have reached the septic tank.

No matter how attempt to spin, I gotta agree with DSB that you were implying people (like me the OP) circled the drain down that kitchen sink and now were in the septic tank.

Nice!

[beam me up scottie]

83. You never heard the expression "throwing the kitchen sink"?

everything but the kitchen sink

Cliché almost everything one can think of.

When Sally went off to college, she took everything but the kitchen sink. John orders everything but the kitchen sink when he goes out to dinner, especially if someone else is paying for it.

But the kitchen sink isn't the only device in a home or where effuse or refuse goes.

[beam me up scottie]

52. You now owe me two apologies.

One for this:

You are implying poor character on Hillary Clinton's part.

And one for this:

I promise to apologize when you apologize for suggesting supporters of Hillary Clinton are akin to human waste:

[boston bean]

60. Why would someone owe you an apology for stating the truth?

101. His home was being used for campaign phone banking, according to

the OP. Buying expensive real estate for a cheap dirty trick is a tough one to figure.

[Live and Learn]

135. Anyone can set up a phone bank. The guy is obviously a Bernie supporter who thought

it was funny to declare the Hillary campaign dead. It actually is a bit funny. The only thing that got him in trouble was leaving the word 'campaign' out of it.

[oasis]

157. Speaking of Bernie supporters

The homeless fellow, Edward, has taken down his large, Feel the Bern sign on Glendale Blvd. I don't know whether or not he was forced to remove it since it was on a public walkway. He's been gone for over a week.

[Live and Learn]

158. Yikes, I hope he is okay. I was hoping to go talk to him this weekend. nt

[oasis]

162. I'm not sure he left the neighborhood. The sign is gone.

What I believe to be his blue tarp and other belongings are about 15-20 feet from where the sign was set up.

[Live and Learn]

164. Thanks for the info. nt

[leftofcool]

14. Dumbass!

[peace13]

24. At least 20% of our population suffers from mental illness.

Add to that the stupid ones and there's always the chance of something like this. This is no reflexion on either campaign just a very unfortunate incident. If this guy truly does run a phone bank he needs to lose all connection with the organization.

[boston bean]

55. Well, that's reassuring...

[peace13]

102. It's an honest observation.

[NBachers]

27. Yes, another Clinton cabal false-flag undercover rat psy op. Carly Fiorina is envious.

[Vinca]

31. The state of our politics is so bad you can't be sure if that was a bona fide Bernie supporter.

In any case, I think half the people in this country are ignorant, nuts or both so it's not surprising.

[mhatrw]

32. It was an obit for her campaign.

DOA

[Live and Learn]

137. That is what he intended it to mean. Pretty obvious. nt

38. hahaha... thanks for posting! Alert stalking stinks!

[Merryland]

37. Interesting dirty trick

[Starry Messenger]

41. Oh my:

Previously he had called the newsroom to complain about the coin flips that determined the outcome of some Iowa caucuses last month.

Some folks have lost it.

[LuvLoogie]

43. I wonder what his DU name is?

[DrDan]

180. that was my first thought

[beam me up scottie]

45. I agree, some things just aren't acceptable no matter how passionate you are:

[Live and Learn]

138. But that is different because..., uh.... Hell, I got nothing.

[wyldwolf]

69. LOL, Bernie Bros. Gotta love them

[workinclasszero]

86. How damn low can the bros go?

Lower than whale **it it seems.

Pathetic.

This is the kind of hater Hillary has to deal with from the left and right. I see no difference between the two either.

[restorefreedom]

92. i would gues that both candidate have had threats against them...

they just won't all make the papers..

[beam me up scottie]

94. Actually a bullet hole was found in one of Bernie's offices.

I don't recall anyone here implying it was a Hillary supporter.

[restorefreedom]

96. yes, no matter who one might "support" ,

mental illness trumps all. except of course, when it is used as a political tool

wait,,did someone say tool?

[beam me up scottie]

99. If I was a Hillary supporter I wouldn't want to play the guilt by association game.

They really don't want to go there.

[restorefreedom]

100. i wouldn't imagine so. but the advice they are getting seems to be lacking

both political smarts and basic street smarts.

whoever is on their payroll is waaaaaay overpaid.

[stonecutter357]

97. " this posts has been hidden by a DU Jury" DanTex.

[mcar]

103. That is disturbing

[NurseJackie]

111. Not something I'd have expected ... but I'm NOT surprised either.

[retrowire]

115. welp i hope nothing happens to Hillary.

And thank you Hillary Supporters for not posting this in your highly protected Hillary group so that could say that!

[JTFrog]

141. Well,

it's not like Hillary supporters could post it in the highly protected Bernie group.

[retrowire]

163. well yeah thats the rules so? nt

[SoapBox]

119. A joke taken too far.

"When reached by phone Friday night, Schubert said he had been called by a Secret Service agent. He said he told the agent the obituary attempt was done in "political humor," a predictive reference to Clinton losing Saturday's Nevada caucuses."

Now let's talk about David Brock about what kind of lying fucking shithole he is.

[MohRokTah]

122. This does not surprise me at all. eom

[Historic NY]

123. Rat-fuckers got to rat-fuck.....

Look like Sanders crew is channeling Lee Atwater.

[DUbeornot2be]

125. Wow...

...that so many here pretend the guy wasn't simply making a stupid joke about Hillary's political future shows how desperate her camp has become...

The good news...

Yes... Her political career will soon be in the past...

Can't happen soon enough!

[Katashi_itto]

128. Mr Bean posts again.

[Live and Learn]

143. Nobody is going to prison though I am sure Hillary would like to enrich her private prison donors

even further. It was an obvious joke about the death of her campaign and the poutrage her is ridiculous.

[Tarc]

148. Jokes about killing politician earn te joker a Secret Service chat

This is just a lone jackass doing a jackass thing, I don't think it casts any sort of pall on the Sanders campaign itself, but it still needs to be taken seriously, and investigated seriously.

[Live and Learn]

156. He never joked about killing anyone. He was implying her campaign was dead.

Did Hillary get a 'Secret Service chat' when she mentioned Obama possibly being assassinated?

[Tarc]

174. Apples and oranges, kiddo

What this clown did is a death threat, sad to see you so Bernie-clingy that you cannot admit even that, but there's one in every crowd...

[Live and Learn]

177. Wrong. He didn't claim to kill her campaign. She has done that herself.

Maybe she should be arrested.

[Tarc]

179. "He never joked about killing anyone"

When you say that, you are a liar.

Welcome to ignore.

[Live and Learn]

183. Not at all. And I won't call you one but you obviously aren't comprehending his intent correctly.

Adios pal, I'll miss you.

[ucrdem]

139. Oh those wild and kuh-razy supporters.

I'm sure the campaign HQ will pretend they never knew nothing nohow but it looks they've been BUSTED.

[NCTraveler]

151. Ahhhh. A concerned coin flip guy.

No shocker.

[1939]

181. After skimming the thread

I wonder what the time, typing, and mental gymnastics spent by the participants contributes to victory in November

[DrDan]

182. the election leanings of this cretin are not surprising

[Go Vols]

186. Secret Service told him they could—but likely would not—arrest him.

Schubert later told the Review-Journal that the Secret Service had called him. He explained he was attempting "political humor," with the obituary meant as a prediction of a Clinton loss in the Nevada caucus. He says the Secret Service told him they could—but likely would not—arrest him.

[zappaman]

187. The stupid...

It berns.

[NurseJackie]

195. Zing!

[George II]

194. Guess what? The rumors of Hillary Clinton's demise are greatly exaggerated....
