French Socialist Candidate Warns of "Violence" if She Doesn't Win

"Choosing Nicolas Sarkozy would be a dangerous choice," [Segolene] 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.
Pressed on whether there would be actual violence, Royal said: "I think so, I think so," referring specifically to France's volatile suburbs hit by widespread rioting in 2005.

Can you imagine being the kind of voter who would change her vote based on this kind of threat? Does Royal know something the rest of us don't? Maybe so. Guess we'll just have to see. Polls show Sarkozy up by 10 points. Seems to me the election of the pro-American Sarkozy would signal French frustration with Muslim immigrants and Chirac's limp-wristed appeasement efforts. I doubt that burning more shit in the banlieues is likely to do anything but strengthen Sarkozy's hand. I expect we'll know by Monday. (h/t : The Big Johnson)

1 That's funny, I was just reading some european news on election... One commentator said: "... the vote for Royal would be a gamble (she has little or no experience or understanding of how the government works), but it's worth it..." It sounds a lot like what Royal told her opponent during the debate after he presented some facts she didn't like:"Don't force that on me". Apparently the "gamble" is to ignore the facts and pray hope that reality will go away.

5 It's a shamelessly thinly veiled threat!
This is what freedom means to pinko's: Vote my way or I'll riot!
D@mn commies.

6 Actually,
This thuggery of "Vote for me or I'll riot" is exactly how Hitler bullied President von Hindenberg into appointing him chancellor of Germany and we all know what followed....

7 With 5 million muslims in France you can bet on violence sooner or later.

8 I hope he wins and let the violence begin. Alot of french friends of mine are fed up with political correctness with the islam religion and have been pushing a massive reform. I hope it happens for their sake!
