I was looking for "irrelevant" as an option.

3. The right responded "appropriately" -- for the right. They're always rude fuckers.
Some people on this board, though, behaved pretty damned badly, making spurious accusations that were beneath the dignity of this forum.

IMO.

I thought Clinton did the right thing to have that press conference, and I thought that all of the OTHER campaigns, unlike some of their supporters here, expressed their sentiments for the safety of all and a resolution to the matter beautifully.

It was a 'solidarity' moment for the campaigners, but for some of their acolytes, well, they apparently didn't get the memo and made asses of themselves.

9. The people who
responded to the situation in an official capacity did a very good job. I don't have any idea what their political beliefs are.

10. Responses varied depending on how you view the election process.
I honestly think that a lot of how you responded to this incident is rooted in your level of involvement in campaigns and elections.

The people who have been inside a campaign realized it for the horror that it was. Those were volunteers out working in a freaking campaign HQ. I can't imagine facing the scenario of seeing people who were there trying to HELP, trying to participate in the process, being held hostage, nor can I imagine how that must have felt for those volunteers.

The people that have not really ever done much more than vote in a primary didn't GET it, and they maybe never will. A campaign office has a special sort of feeling--a sort of brothers in arms attitude I guess--and that is completely not on the radar if you have never been there and done that.

I have my own opinions about the ones who made jokes on the subject, and I will spare you a discussion on the subject. I will say it wasn't a shining moment here, but like many others it will pass with time.
