Yikes: Man Stabbed For Supporting Obama

Right now, politics are more heated than I can certainly ever remember them being. Especially for the “liberal” and “open minded” Democrats.

Considering the fact that the party has a reputation for being so passive when it comes down to the views that others hold onto, it surprises me that so much hostility has been boiling over between the Democrats who support Obama and those who support Clinton. If you don’t think the tension is getting out of control, take for example, this story:

A man in Pennsylvania, Jose Antonio Ortiz, allegedly stabbed his brother in law after an argument about Hillary Clinton. Ortiz didn’t believe that Obama was a “realist”. His brother in law, Sean Shurelds, believed that Obama was not only the best presidential candidate, but was also “trashing” Clinton.

The verbal argument turned into choking and punching. And choking and punching turned into a stabbing…Ortiz stabbed his brother in law in the stomach. He was jailed with a $20,000 bail.

Democrats, please, I beg of you: Come together. Even though I’m personally a registered Independent voter, I will honestly be happy if either Obama or Clinton win. Yes, they differ on some issues, but they will both be coming into office to clean up Bush’s mess and I honestly believe that either one of them will do a great job at it.

Plus, with either candidate, we will be making history in this country. We have two amazing Democratic candidates running right now and we should be grateful for this. Stop the bickering about which candidate is better and please recognize the fact that if we divide the Democratic party, then this country will continue to be run by Republicans.

The next time you start a little tiff over Obama/Clinton-think twice. And definitely don’t stab anyone.
