I probably don't have to tell you I'm not a HRC supporter, but this is pretty delightful:
Republicans on the whole should probably be a lot more concerned than they seem to be about how Hillary Clinton will use immigration reform against them. But if there is such a thing as being too concerned, then Fergus Cullen, a former chairman of the Republican Party in New Hampshire, would qualify. Republicans intransigence has created an obvious opportunity for Hillary to rip off our arms and beat us with the bloody ends, he tells the Washington Post.
That sounds bad for the Republicans. But is this really Clintons plan?
While Im no expert in aggravated bodily assault, it seems to me that, once youve torn off the arm from a persons body, beating them with it is almost superfluous at that point, because theyre likely to bleed to death quickly. Certainly, if youve torn off both arms, the additional pain of a bloody stump beating would be almost trivial in comparison.
Then the other thing is that arms are covered in soft flesh, and dont actually make a good weapon (though I have never personally been beaten by, or wielded, a severed arm). A bat would be a much more dangerous weapon or, if theres no weapon lying around, even simple fists. Now maybe the image of Hillary Clinton beating the Republicans with her bare fists isnt frightening enough on its own, but remember in this scenario, she is strong enough to rip off both their arms. So really, worst case, Clinton would probably rip off just one of their arms, administer a few punches, and leave them to die. Cullen should stop overreacting.

(6,409 posts)Perhaps Clinton will rip the arms from some Republicans and then use those arms to administer beatings to other Republicans. This would be particularly effective, since it would leave some Republicans bleeding to death, while other Republicans were being killed in a slightly less gruesome, but still quite painful, manner. Cullen is probably right to be concerned.
