I shot the Arkansas Democrat Party chairman; Update: Gwatney dies of injuries
Update: More horrible news. Arkansas Democrat Party chairman Bill Gwatney has died of the gunshot wounds.
Statement from the DNC: “Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, DNC Vice Chair Lottie Shackelford, and former mayor of Little Rock, and Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer, the President of the Association of State Democratic Chairs, issued the following statement on the passing of Arkansas Democratic Party Chair Bill Gwatney:
“On behalf of the Democratic Party our thoughts and prayers are with Chairman Gwatney’s family and friends and the extended Democratic family in Arkansas. With this senseless act of violence we have lost a good friend and honorable man. Bill will be remembered for his hard work and dedication to the Party, and he will be sorely missed.”
The suspect was shot and killed.

The Arkansas Democrat Party chairman was shot today at his office in a horrible attack and is in critical condition. There is scant information about the unhinged shooter, but it seems he was disgruntled over losing his job. There is no indication of his political affiliations, his ideology, or his motives for singling out the Democrat Party chairman.
No matter. I’m already getting blamed for the incident.
Yeah, I did it:

subject Once again
mailed-by verizon.netOnce again the hate you and folks like Hannity spew has caused another right wing nut to resort to violence. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26181389/ What you do is nothing less than starting a riot and you should be held accountable. You should be in jail. Your hate turns people to murder.
I am also guilty of last month’s shooting at a Knoxville church, for which a nutroots blogger similarly says I need to be held “accountable.”
For what? For blogging, writing columns, and authoring books with which they disagree.
Such stalwart, principled champions of free speech they are.

But you did not shoot the deputy…
Maybe they’ll send you to Gitmo, Michelle.
That’s where they want to send Boooosh.
Since when did the truth matter to these leftists?
Sorry you have to deal with this stuff, Michelle.
Michelle, you are incorrigible. Keep it up.
Well if he were fired from the DNC headquarters, I am betting he wasn’t a card carrying GOPer…
Greg has issues, I do believe it is a mental disease called liberalism.
?Hannity? spewing hate?? That is a pretty broad definition of “hate”. I wonder if it includes the darlings of the left like Kos and Randi Rhodes?
Hello Greg, You’re a moron.
besides the article clearly says the motive is not known. Leftists are nuts.
I guess if you can’t blame Bush, you’re next on the list, Michelle!
Does a Bratz doll with the soul of Chucky need a motive?
Maybe he was a Clinton supporter.
All partisan comments aside, i wish a speedy recovery to those injured today.
Was it a job elsewhere, or a job with the office he shot up? Serious question, and something that will likely be covered later.
Michelle, I know you dont let screwballs like this moron Greg to get under your skin. I feel sorry for you in the respect you have to tolerate these idiots and their rush to blame someone (anyone) for the actions and folly of others.
Keep up the good fight.
And on the left side of the blogosphere, I’m sure if this had happended in a republican party office, there would be much rejoicing and celebrating.
There is no indication of his political affiliations
I hear Michelle the “hate spewer” bombed Georgia, too.
Why is it that liberals only believe in responsibility when they can blame conservatives? How is this anyone’s fault except the nutjob who pulled the trigger?
List of atrocities MM is responsible for:
Ark. Shooting
Knoxville Shooting
Russing invasion of Georgia ( along with McCain )
Global Warming
Waterboarding
Stop-loss policy
9-11
Oklahoma City
Gas Prices
USA Girls Gymnastic Loss last night
Glaciers diminishing
And that’s all without even trying …. imagine if she puts her mind to it and REALLY wants to show what she’s capable of… ( Shudder )
I guess the lgm types will think I am some google stalker but Greg really does have issues:
Amazing what google turns up on a quick search on a name and e-mail address. (3rd post down).
MM you’re getting as bad as GW. Stop creating problems for the rest of the world. GEEZ the moonbats don’t need another syndrome MDS it’s bad enough with BDS that universal healthcare will have to pay. Stop it!
LOL
Our prayers (however you pray) for the victim. Send the shooter to bubba, he will take good care of him.
Did anyone else notice… Greg Cancilla artvandelay3 at verizon.net. Dear Greg’s email address is named after “Art Vandelay”… so is his idol George Costanza from Seinfeld? Even without reading what he wrote to Michelle, we automatically know he is a loser.
Sorry you have to put up with quacks like Greg…then again Michelle, you must be doing something right to have so many ticked off at you…appreciate your work.
Michelle, could you and Hannity pick up the pace a little? There are still so many good targets.
Yeah I saw that too.
Greg…no soup for you!!
Don’t feel bad, Michelle. The leftwing nutroots blame George Bush for everything from 911 to whatever ‘mystery rash’ Greg happens to have. It’s nice to know that we conservatives have so much power.
Sorry Michelle, hang tough as always, keep up the great work. “A right winged nut”? I need one for my air cleaner on my carbon spewing 4by.
HERE’s a thought: Let’s assume it WAS a right-winger with an agenda.
Wouldn’t the Left want to “understand him” and “understand what motivated him”?
After all, within hours of the Twin Towers falling, the Left was calling for a “better understanding” of Islam. They even made students read the Koran.
Somehow I doubt conservativism will be given the same respect as jihadism if this is, in fact, a right-winger.
Any time something like this happens, the left has to find a way to blame anyone other than the criminal. No matter his political idiology, he’s a criminal that should be incarcerated for a verry loooonng time, or executed at the first opportunity (which after the appeals process, will be a veerry looonnng time).
The victims will be in my prayers.
These Libs can aid, encourage and even applaud our enemies when they kill US soldiers in Iraq, and then they want to hold Michelle accountable for a disgruntled employee? Free speach for me but not for thee…
Your reach is far beyond what I imagined. I am in awe. You can control the minds of (presumably unstable) people in other parts of the country and by simply disagreeing with liberals, cause them to do your (evil) bidding. So much better than the VRWC. Almost Rovian, in fact.
stern perant voice on/
MICHELLE MALKIN, my tire blew out the other day, will you stop doing that?
stern perant voice off/
(i would have included her middle name but i don’t know it)
“Witnesses told NBC Little Rock affiliate the shooter talked with a few party employees at the headquarters, complaining that he had lost his job.”
The fact that the shooter had gone there to talk about losing his job suggests to me that he may well be a democrat, not a republican.
I’m sure the spambot email harvesters appreciate you publishing artvandelay3@verizon.net email.
Wonder if the accusations in that email could be construed as libelous.. although the author artvandelay3@verizon.net only emailed it to you personally, so I guess not.
What a silly person artvandelay3@verizon.net is.
Michelle is not the woman Greg thinks she is.
More sad commentary from the left. I suppose it should embolden Michelle to continue writing. For merely positing something about which she believes, and they disagree, they want her in jail, and to be held accountable. Stalin would be proud.
I have never read her advocate violence towards anyone, yet only today, one of the sociopathic KosKidz is taking a poll on who should be the next right winger to get a brain tumor, a la Bob Novak.
I wonder if this guy has any trouble dating/marrynig women?
I pray that Bill Gwatney, that’s his name, will be okay.
And the shooter gets what any attemted murder deserves.
Michelle, I stubbed my toe a minute ago. I demand an apology, and don’t you ever do that to me again!
What is ironic and sad at the same time is in the link I found on Google of Greg’s previous postings it is clear he is the one spewing hatred and ignorance. I’d link his words directly but they are so vulgar I’d get banned for posting them. Go figure.
Why do i think that the mail box belonging to artvandelay3@verizon.net is going to be a little full tonight.
Has anybody seen my friend “Personal Responsibilty”???? He must be hiding from the “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”….hmmmmm
Michelle made Silky Pony cheat on his wife.
Hey, Michelle,
Could use a little light rain around here tonight. Mighty warm in Houston.
Thanks!
Lets all blame Michelle. That makes us culpable to. Lets take responsibility in mass. They can’t arrest all of us. The blame game makes me sooooo tired.
Had to be a republican…he had a job.
I guess we HAVE to ban guns nationwide now.
I don’t appreciate everyone saying MM caused all these disasters. It’s a proven fact that George W. Bush is responsible for all of them.
The intolerance from the group that preaches tolerance speaks volumes.
Michelle, are you responsable for this also…because the article didn’t say.
Who else could it be.
How about honor killings Michelle…is that you too?
CNN Avoids Mentioning Islam in Segment on ‘Honor Killings’
Dunkin’ Donuts screwed up my Iced Coffee this morning. Thanks a lot, Michelle.
If michelle were as all powerfull as this nutcase thinks, why would we even be having an election in November? MALKIN FOR PREZ 2008 (or else we will enter your minds and make you shoot ex-employers!!!)
This idiot lib should be THANKING Michelle….
I mean, she turns them into murderers…. they get convicted, sent to death row… and in 20 years they become cause celebs for the left right before their sentence is carried out…
Isn’t that right, Tookie….
Tookie? Hello?
Greggy-Boy will NEVER be MY latex salesman!
Oh hey lookie what I found on linked in:
Greg Cancilla
Arrow Electronics
San Francisco Bay Area
..a San Fran nutcase – why am I not surprised?
Michelle, it would mean a great deal to me if you could please make Silky’s love child a conservative Southern Baptist abortion foe who works for tort reform and personal responsibility?
Greg really needs to get out of Mommy’s basement and get a job! Maybe he can get rid of some of that pent up rage. Oh wait…..he’s a dem they don’t work just collect sorry my bad!
“I don’t appreciate everyone saying MM caused all these disasters. It’s a proven fact that George W. Bush is responsible for all of them.”
To quote our man Greg’s favorite sitcom, ‘That’s the beauty of it’…
You see, Michelle only makes us all THINK that GWB is responsible for all of them. But Greg, the super-genius he is, is immune from her Jedi-mindtrick games and knows the unspeakable, sinister truth….
I think you’re forgetting, Michelle, that they are staunch free speech advocates. Any speech they agree with is as free as free gets.
Aww you deleted my post.. but but.. why? I’ll report but omit the bits I presume you removed it for, even though you published the same details in the story.
“Witnesses told NBC Little Rock affiliate the shooter talked with a few party employees at the headquarters, complaining that he had lost his job.”
The fact that the shooter had gone there to talk about losing his job suggests to me that he may well be a democrat, not a republican.
oops my post is still there, sorry :blush:
Michelle, my dogs aren’t being good little doggies, could you,,, you know,, fix that real quick??? I know you are busy causing global warming and screwing with mookies coffee but if you could…
The divisive atmosphere in this country falls squarely on the Democrats’ shoulders. The hateful language and names they’re used for eight years proves that.
When they project their pettiness onto us, well, it just makes me shake my head in disgust. They either don’t realize what they’ve been doing, or they just don’t care. Either way, they are collectively deluded people.
I hope the DNC Chair in Arkansas pulls through.
Yeah, Obama’s Dem convention speech proved that.
a search of “Greg Cancilla” + “artvandelay3@verizon.net”
There’s a lot of vitriol in this guy’s posts around the net. He tends to curse and wish death on anyone with a different viewpoint “read conservative”. That is the essence of his debate. Ah that liberal tolerance, ain’t it great.
But he LOST his job, did not go out and find another, blamed others for his job loss, and was disgruntled about it. Odds are 4 to 1 that he’s a Democrat, aj.
Anyone that orders the abomination that is iced coffee deserves whatever they get.
And I suppose it is us conservative thinkers who were responsible for the recent bombing in Santa Cruz by animal rights nuts.

Michelle,
We are having lumpia for supper, if it isn’t good it is your fault.
Just keep up what you do best Michelle.
L
Michelle, I lost my job today. I am awaiting your orders.
Michelle,
My back itches because of you. Will you make it stop?
(waiting)
(still waiting)
Ahhh. Thanks bunches!
Gee. I didn’t know lgm first name is Greg
its all about you Michelle, isnt it?
Fixed it for ya!
That’s the most hateful thing I’ve ever read on all of the internets.
Too many people with that name to be 100% accurate with just a google check on the name. The one you linked is the first result too. There was only one result when searching by name and e-mail address for the thread where Greg the liberal uses a ton of vulgarity to argue with people on that particular thread.
But anyhow, enough fun poking at the guy sending crazy-mail to MM. I hope Bill Gwatney recovers strong and the perp gets life in prison or the death penalty if they have that in Arkansas.
The cappuccino from DD is pretty good.
I think what they are saying Michelle is: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can, and will be used against you in the court of dumbass logic. Next time your in Knoxville killing people, stop by and say howdy.
apparently it is. now, stop pretending your name isnt greg and get back to your normal vitriol laced emails.
thanks, bye.
OOH … I get it now
L=Liberal
G=Greg
M=Moron
update – suspect shot and killed, motive still unknown at this time.
Oh mighty michelle, how shall we pray to you to prevent receiving your holy wrath?
I love this thread BTW please do more.
I hope Bill Gwatney is OK. And I hope the perp gets major jail time.
perp is dead so he will be doing his time in hell.

I’ve often thought this. The women with the brass @#$%s to run this country are MM and Ann Coulter. What a ticket!
I have to agree with Mookie, as shocking as that is to me, on this one. I take any coffee I make in the morning pot of Dunkin coffee grind I don’t drink while hot and put the leftover half to two thirds of a pot into my pitcher in the fridge for ice coffee to drink later in the evening after work
First of all the responsiblity for this rests soley on the shooter. That being said, thanks to internet, cable tv, and radio, conservatives are privy to liberal thinking, (or lack thereof) and yes, we are furious and sick to death of it. So, in that respect, there is much hostility on both sides. I will venture to say, this kind of stuff will continue…unfortunately.
Another “unhinged” liberal lacking self-awareness.
She’s black. You forgot mention that she’s black.

Wait to see what happens if Obama loses. I expect violence.
So dissent = Hate™ in the sinistrasphere (well, it mightn’t be trademarked there). Who knew? Hey, maybe we oughta unite both parties into one so all that awful “hate” is gone.

Are you kidding. It doesn’t matter if he worked there. He must be a republican. Watch the early MSM spin. They will admit their error later. MAYBE
Only effete liberal arugala eating elites like “Iced coffee.” Take your coffee like a real American, like our forefathers did, tongue-scorchingly hot.
CyberCipher, you can’t believe everything a collie says. Unless you find him in agreement with The Michelle.
sandyb: No offense but Michelle Malkin has more ahheeem testicualar fortiude than 90% of the GOP currently in congress. And you can quote me on that.

Wonder if this is the shooter? He may have been a tinge “disgruntled” going back a few years. Can’t figure out what it has to do w/ Dems though…
Well you see I have to have my coffee “tongue-scorchingly hot” in the morning before work. But while at work with my “effete liberal arugala eating elites” coworkers I have to blend in with the crowd in order to keep the camo up to date. The occasional “Bush sucks” works great too, keeps me in the clear all day long.
Well, not really, because I’d be hard pressed to find too many of those where I work.
Don’t be a credit hog now, you and Hannity are both blamed as “co-spewers” in this dummy’s writing.
I think there’s a “spewing guild” rule somewhere about giving proper credit…
Spewers of the world, unite…
Anyone bothered to email this pond scum yet? Any response?
Either way me thinks.
