Cynthia Clinkingbeard, a BSU professor and Democratic candidate for Congress, has been arrested by Boise police after walking into a Staples store, making “strange, threatening remarks,” and pulling a gun on employees.
According to the Idaho Statesman, police were called as Clinkingbeard left the store, continuing to make threats, before driving off in a car. Witnesses described her vehicle, and she was quickly pulled over by an Ada County Sheriff. Because Clinkingbeard was armed, police shut down the highway in both directions for a short amount of time.
Two other adults were in her car, but neither are being viewed as accomplices (reports suggest they were not even aware of what had transpired).
Clinkingbeard has been booked into the Ada County Jail on three felony counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The police were originally called for what seemed to be an armed robbery, but nothing was stolen.
Clinkingbeard is running for the 1st district congressional seat in the May 15 primary race. Her official website is now down for maintenance.

Posted on March 18, 2012 at 12:59pmJustthefactsmam, Maybe a wanna be, but still no lady. Things that make you go, “uuugh!” Still, Cynthia had mental issues and lost her medical license for violating court placed probation from a case where Cynthia had abused or exploitation of a patient. She is (was?) a professor at Boise State teaching our young adults and shaping their minds.One of her student reviews even stated, “I took Dr C for Medical Terminology and absolutely loved her. You don’t need the book, everything comes from powerpoint. Attend class because she gives some test answers. She likes to tell too much about herself and political views but its college, learn to deal with it.” Talk about herself and politics. That’s what leftist professors do for indoctrination.

Posted on March 18, 2012 at 10:15amYeah, they found a Democrat who clearly has some mental problems. Good thing there’s nothing like that on the Right, just good patriotic Americans like Glenn Beck (who thinks that Obama is creating concentration camps equipped with gas chambers in the Midwest), or Alex Jones (who thinks a race of lizard people is secretly controlling world affairs). I wish I were making that “lizard people” thing up, but sadly I’m not.
