Extreme desperation from the Socialist candidate in France. This race is pretty much over.
PARIS (Reuters) - Socialist opponent Segolene Royal said on Friday that France risks violence and brutality if her opponent right-winger Nicolas Sarkozy wins Sunday's presidential election.
On the last day of official campaigning, opinion polls showed Sarkozy enjoyed a commanding lead over Royal, who accused the former interior minister of lying and polarizing France.
"Choosing Nicolas Sarkozy would be a dangerous choice," Royal told RTL radio.
"It is my responsibility today to alert people to the risk of (his) candidature with regards to the violence and brutality that would be unleashed in the country (if he won)," she said.
Just sad.
this is not merely an idle threat made out of desperation; it is a signal to her comrades in the banlieus.
ReplyDeleteTrue. It reminds me of George Mitchell in '93 when he said he wouldn't blame people for rioting if Clinton's "stimulous package" didn't pass in the Senate.
ReplyDeleteThe sooner the violence comes, the better it is for Western Civilization. This waiting game is killing us.
