California Democratic Party Spokesman Bob Mulholland this weekend warned Arnold Schwarzenegger that "real bullets" will be coming his way during his campaign to be governor!

"Schwarzenegger is going to find out, that unlike a Hollywood movie set, the bullets coming at him in this campaign are going to be real bullets and he is going to have to respond to them," warned Mulholland in an interview with a camera crew from ABC NEWS.

"[Wife] Maria [Shriver] has been very concerned about Arnold's safety, her family has a history with assassination, you know," a source with direct ties to the movie star told the DRUDGE REPORT from Los Angeles.

"Mr. Mulholland and his talk of 'real bullets' with Arnold's name on them is reckless and not acceptable political discourse. He should be fired immediately, if the Democrats have any conscience."

The stunning threat from Mulholland, who rose to fame in 1992 after exposing how Republican Senate candidate Bruce Herschensohn visted a strip joint in Hollywood, comes as the historic recall election moves in to high gear -- and Schwarzenegger takes the lead in the polls.

Mullholland could not be reached for comment Sunday night.

I am one of those people that really knows how to have a good time. I can find fun/humor in practically anything. I enjoy yukking it up all the time, but these people are convulsing me with laughter to the point where I can't properly breathe. Watching the Demorat Party com-freakin'-pletely lose it is some of the best fun I have ever had in my entire life. God strike me dead if I am lying.

ROTFLMBFAO
 
Democratic Party Leadership can practically threaten an assassination with no harm no foul. If a Republican were to say something like that, the DNC would be up in arms. I think someone's sig is right, liberals are stupid.
 
I don't really see this as being a threat. I suppose you could interpret it as such, but I think he was really talking about a metaphorical "political bullet."
 
Real bullets are real bullets. They are not rhetorical bullets. They are not fake bullets. They are not play bullets. They are not political bullets. They are real bullets.

When someone tells me that real bullets are going to be coming my way, I don't find that to be a laughing matter.

The Democratic party is coming apart at the seams in a most undignified manner.
 
Um it would appear that in most of those links the term "real bullets" is used to describe, uhem, REAL BULLETS.
 
Judging by the context, I'd guess that he meant rhetorical "bullets", and was just too much of an idiot to understand the precise meaning of what he was saying. Otherwise, what did he mean by saying that Arnold would "have to respond" to them? That he'd have to duck?

However, this being politics, not real life, the appropriate response to his brain fart IS to pretend he was threatening assasination, and crucify him (Rhetorically, of course.) to the extent possible.
 
c_yeager, as of 0948GMT, hits 2,3,4,6,8,9,10 were metaphorical uses, mostly relating to sports. I don't see anyone complaining that they're death threats to the athletes being referred to, even with the nation's current sensitivity to firearms and sports caused by the murder and subsequent ruckus at Baylor.
 
So he was talking about throwing touchdown passes at Arnold? Thats CRAZY talk!

Of course the fact is that it is clearly MEANT to be used as a metaphore. The comment really just suffers from a poor choice of words. The point that i am trying to make is that if someone in the GOP said this about say, Jesse Jackson there would be hell to pay in the public media. In this case with it being a liberal saying it about a conservative the only stir is on a few right leaning bulletin boards.
 
Err, dangling modifier. The stories were related to sports, not the metaphors. Nobody uses the "real bullets" metaphor to refer to basketballs or footballs, obviously. Players don't accomplish much by dodging such sports implements.

Regarding what Jesse Jackson might do if such comments were directed at him... that's because Jesse Jackson lives to create horrorshows out of anything he can.
 
Classless behavior by the Democrats has been SOP for a long time now.

I'm with Duncan Idaho on this one -- the total implosion of the California Democrats is one of the funniest things I have seen in ages. I don't think that Ahnolt will actually be a great governor, but it doesn't matter. Anyone would be better than Gray "Red" Davis, and the fact that the Governator's candidacy makes the Democrats the nation's prime laughingstock is well worthwhile.
 
I'll agree with the rest of the people here about this being a partisan attack, but . . .

How far could Arnold go if he were to take the threat literally? Could he have the spokesdroid arrested for making death threats?

Jim, when you try to give Arnold with a 2nd ammendment presentation, please make sure it covers personal defense against threats in detail.

Cheers,
ErikM :evil:
 
As far as I'm concerned, the real issue here is the hypocrisy. If this were a conservative political leader, we'd never hear the end of it. IF this conservative saying that were in a leadership position, he would undoubtedly be hounded right out of that job (example: Trent Lott). Liberal politicians would be screaming their lungs out over the "threat". An example: Lt. Gov. Bustamante actually used the "N" word in a speech to an African-American trade association. While quite a number of the attendees got up and walked out, the press didn't report much on it, and the story quickly died. Imagine now a Republican uttering the same word.

I could be wrong, though.

The Democrats wouldn't actually use REAL bullets, would they, Mr. Vince Foster?... :scrutiny:
 
redhead - hypocrisy exists on all sides. Clinton was impeached and some of those who drove for that were no better than him.
 
I don't think I said that hypocrisy doesn't exist on both sides, only that one side usually pays the price. Examples: Trent Lott lost his position as Senate Majority Leader. Congressman Livingstone was forced to step down from Speaker of the House before he served a single day. Newt Gingrich resigned as Speaker. On the other side: Senator Bird of W. Virginia used the phrase "white n's" several times in a speech. He paid no price, and it was nearly unremarked upon in the mainstream press. He was also a member of the KKK. *shrug* As I mentioned earlier, Bustamante using the "n" word in a speech. No political price paid, no outcry in the press. Just look at the frenzy in the media over what Trent Lott had said about Strom Thurmond (no racist slurs used at all), and compare that to the "n" word examples and the lack of media attention. I think a case can be made that the left can get away with a great deal more than the right can. Not that I think anyone should be able to "get away" with it. Our elected officials should be held accountable for their words and deeds. Hence, the move to Recall Gray Davis.

Just my opinion and observations, of course.

Yeah! What the hell is wrong with people anyway? Taking the word "real" to mean real, when it is pretty obvious that "real" means "metaphorical political bullet". :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

If the Demorats wanted to vocalize a true threat they would have said something more along the lines of "mudwhistle higgenbotham" or "sasafrass pancaketwitch", you know. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

:barf:


BTW Azrael256. You wouldn't happen to know what the meaning of is is, would you? I can only decline the verb to be in 3 languages, English being one of them, and I am dying to find out what the new (known only to a chosen few it would seem) meaning of the present form of the verb to be is*.

*Please excuse this presumptuous use of the word is. I guess that in addition to needing to learn the new meaning of is, I will also need to learn the word that will be replacing is, when used in its old form.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to offer vis-a-vis the new American English, or whatever it may be called. :rolleyes:

:confused: HUH???

Is there another Jim posting here? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Re-read my post and am very :confused: :confused: at this response. Something doesn't fit here. I don't even think Ahnold is aware the Second Amendment exists. He is for "sensible" gun control.
