Political Punch

I commend Hillary for her statement.
Hillary gave a sound example of previous primaries extending into June.

This was an excellent example that many people would remember or know about.

Hillary can and should stay in the race.

The first female president would be just as big of a target as the first black president...

I commend Bobby Kennedy Jr, for continuing to stand behind Senator Clinton. I for one cannot jump on the Obama bandwagon because he has yet to show me anything of substance...fluff is not enough to get the job done. We are talking about the presidency here. I am a state delegate for TX that decided not to submit by bid for candidacy for the national convention because although a democrat, I am not a happy democrat. I can't stand the way the superdelegates have let Obama and his supporters bully them into jumping ship, I cannot stand how this man skirts the issues, yet people feel he is qualified to lead this nation...why does anyone think he has what it takes to bring this nation where we need to be both at home and abroad?

I am a very passionate and emotional person, however, I never allow emotions to sway my decisions when it comes to politics...I vote logically...I am starting to think that I am one of a few.

Hillary: She has every right to go all the way to the finish line. It's pathetic when the media and her opponent's mouthpieces whine, "Please quit. Oh, stop running against our rock star wonder. He's so young! He can wave a magic wand cure all the ills of the worlld and we can get back to drugs and be permanent college kids and run up the tab some more and, hey, sponge on Mom and Dad and feel sorry for ourselves. To the pillory with Hillary so he who speaks for us can have a free ride. HA!

I recall that I heard about Obama's bitter gaffe first from Mrs clinton when I was litsening to her talk in a PA rally.So I do not understand why she is saying it is Obama's camp making ahuge deal of her serious insinuations about Obama's life.Her comments are way more serious than the bitter comment because her sia a threat to a man's life!She talked and talked at every opportunity about the bitter gaffe..what goes around comes around,she didn't even get any heat for this in my won opinion.

Right from the horses mouth.. Yet the Obama camp started this whole controversy, so much for the false unity he beleives in... Obama for the democratic party destruction is all this is..

Last year Hillary was trotted out as
the hot new vehicle that would take
America by storm. I didn't know that
Edsel has a full sized van.

Robert Kennedy Jr. offends me.

If I'm offended, I'm offended. I can't delegate my response even to a family member.

WILL: It was about Obama! She said and I quote, " My opponent"...... I don't think she meant McCain? Didn't you watch SNL? McCain wants her to keep up the campaign? NO, she first started her comments by saying, "My opponent wants me to........." LOL

This comment wasn't at Obama. Obama and his supporters are so arrogant to think anything Hillary says is about Obama. This has nothing to do about Obama. The editorial board asked her why she is still in the race. They never mentioned Obama in the question. She said she doesn't understand why people want her out. Historically, primary seasons have gone into June like 1992 when Bill was running and in 1968 when RFK was assassinated. She brought it up because it was the night in June when RFK won the nomination but was assassinated that same night. People remember the assassination as a June event. Other people of Hillary's generation who remember the assassination, remember it was june. Even the newspaper who was interviewing her didn't think much of it. It was the Obama supporter who hyped it up. This is another reason why Hillary supporters will definitely vote McCain in November as a strong protest vote AGAINST Obama and his nonsense and lies.

That woman Hillary is pure EVIL. I told you so!!!

This nation hasn't seen anything yet from what will come from that evil woman's heart!!!

I am so looking forward to a McCain landslide this November. Obama supporters are the mirror image of the radical right, they are crazed. I will not only cross over to vote for McCain this election but also work for him. Unify that!

Why is it OK for Obama to talk about MLK assasination for a whole month but it is evil for Clinton to even make a historical connection as to why she is still in the race! Clinton haters are turning sand-pile into a mountain to push her out from the race. Hillary may be evil for some people but count of popular votes indicates that she is loved and adored by as many dems as Obama has been and dragging her out from the race by spitting hatred towards her will just end the party's hope of winning the White-house.

If JFK has spoken about RFK, why is BHO supporters still paranoid over HRC's remarks ?

All this would make sense, except for the fact that Hillary is a "black widow", and the Clinton's have left a list of over 150 mysteriously dead friends and associates in their wake. If I were Obama I'd increase my security tenfold - at least!

too many inaccuracies here

RFK did not even get into the presidential race until MARCH of 1968 -
the CA primary was June 6th that year

He was only in the race for 3 months --
I was 15 and devastated to wake up on the East Coast June 7th to this horrific news

There was no reason on earth for Hillary Clinton to invoke this -

If the CA primary was held next week as it had been every other Presidential Election year - Sen Obama would win - he is way WAY ahead in every CA poll

Feb 5th was name recgonition day--
Sen Clinton should drop out on June 3rd with some dignity in tact or she may find herself without a career in politics

And to the person here who cites what the Clinton's "did" for this country?
I was a BIG Bill supporter - but in retrospect his indulgence was a big part of Gore's situation in 2000 -

The country has also been very good to the Clintons $107 million good since 2001

The country and the Clintons are even- they need to step aside adn stop monopolozing the party and the political climate of the country

There is too much drama with the Clintons and this country has enough real drama--
Two wars
An economic meltdown
A worsening global climate crisis
Lost respect and leadership in the world

It is not about the Clinton's--it is about us, our children, our future

Sen Clinton has shown a lack of grace and dignity and as Rep Clyburn said this remark was "beyond the pale"

I am an Independent, but have been leaning Democrat throughout this election. I am also female, but I have never sided with either Democrat, thinking that this would sort itself out and any Dem would be better than another 4 more years of Republican rule. This is only to put the balance back into the mix again. The pendulum swings. Now that Obama is mostly assured the nomination, I was thinking that Hilary should definitely be considered for VP. How better to unite the party. I have, however, changed my mind. She doesn't deserve it. Clinton doesn't get to have it both ways. She either is a smart suavy political operator who is ready on day one, or she makes juvenile and ridiculously inappropriate remarks demonstrating that she isn't the well put together, intelligent candidate I thought her to be...she doesn't get to have it both ways, but boy is she trying. As a female, I am disappointed that this is the woman who will go down as the first serious female contender. I hope she doesn't burn the party to the ground and make it more difficult for the next woman.

I'm so sorry that the election has degenerated into this! The Clintons have been very close to the Kennedys and she would NEVER say or reference anything that would be offensive to them or to Mr. Obama for that fact. I really think that Hillary is being treated very badly and I for one will not vote for Obama if he becomes the nominee.

Cleo, thank you for your insight. When push comes to shove I would not want an Obama supporter on my side. I appreciate what the Clinton's did for this country, funny how some forget.

Re: "This is not just about RFK, it is about Obama... For Hillary to suggest this could happen to Obama is chilling."

She never said that this could happen to him. She didn't even mention Obama!
You and the media have twisted Hillary's words and given them your own scary meaning.

I guess Hillary and Bubba now know what it feels like to be in the liberal media's cross-hairs. We should make Hillary an honorary conservative.

Funny, only a few years back the Clintons were the darlings of the liberal media. Now they might as well be ultra conservatives.

The thing that brings a smile to my face is that my aunts who are liberal democrats have stated point blank to me they will vote against Husein Obama if he gets the nomination. I bet you there are a lot of democrats who feel that way.

On our side, thing's aren't much better. I sure as hell don't think McCain is worthy of being president.

If Hillary were to become President (fat chance), guess who will be running for her senate seat in NY?

That would be RFK, Jr.

The "spin" from the Obama campaign is predictable. After all they were the original source of the accusations of racism against the Clintons and their supporters.

They are the meanest and most effective marketing machine in recent history...but then you have to have a willing and corrupt media environment to thank for their success,

Believe it or not in a Democratic year this "mean" machine that constantly feeds these memos to the public that are at odds with their candidates public statements ...are creating an army of McCain voters.

Fanatic definition: A person marked or motivated by an extreme, unreasoning enthusiasm, as for a cause.
You Obama followers really scare me. Get a reality check will you?
It was not brought up by her anything about Obama, it was in your head, get it?
His own son, his namesake knew she meant anything can happen, why should you be offended if he isn't?

Who cares what RFK Jr. says, Obama is the one threatened.

DWC, your 12:21:40 PM post is a good one. I'd forgotten how the Obama camp shamelessly tried to use Dr. King's assassination to further their own cause when it suited them to do so. Thanks for reminding us.

I have never posted here, but even I am appalled by some of the things written. Senator Clinton wasn't talking about Senator Obama, she was only stating why she is staying in the race, how other contest have gone beyond June. And BTW - Robert Kennedy was behind in the delegate count back in 1968, by about 168 delegates, so he probably would have gone to the convention with less delegates, so he probably wouldn't have gotten to the nomination, yet he felt compelled to take the fight all the way to the convention and no one asked him to drop out.

The media is making too a big a deal over this comment because they want Hillary to drop out. Obama will not have enough pledged delegates to win the nomination by June 3rd. The superdelegates can say whatever they want, but they don't actually vote until the convention.

The reason that RFK Jr. support Hillary is because he is sane and his mind functions well not like those of fanatics who are overwhelmed with hateful remarks ready to pollute the world.

Before the BO campaign mention it, nobody thinks it is an offense. Thereafter, their fanatics beat up the hatred and venoms, the media follow with zest.

What a familiar scene. The same way that Bush ran his campaign against Kerry and Gore.

Obviously RFK,jr is enmeshed in the wicked web of Hellary. lol

Considering that Obama had to have the earliest ever security detail on account of KNOWN threats, the race baiting, gender baiting Clintons are INSENSITIVE at best!

I have just finished reading many of the posts to this article. I am shocked at her comments because the use of "assassination of Bobby Kennedy" and her husband in race until June as examples of reason why she is staying in race to June. This is not first time she has used assassination of Bobby Kennedy as reference to present race. Legal implied and suggestive reference is Barack Obama could be assassinated. Hilary is intelligent attorney and seasoned politician. Word usage is her profession. Remember Mike Huckabee made joke at gun show - "someone aiming gun at Barack Obama, he just fell off the chair." Now FBI will be on high alert. These comments could affect all of the candidates- the target Barack Obama, and Mike Huckabee and Hilary Clinton because of what they said. Supporters tell your candidate to stop. I don't care anymore if accidental or not. Words are out there. At least encourage prevention in in the future.

The Manchurian Candidate.

This is why Mccain will win, everything is turned into a slight to Obama. No one can say anything without it being turned in a racist thing.

She apologized to the Kennedys but not to Obama and his family. She and her supporters still don't get why her comments were thoughtless to say the least. She has run a campaign dedicated to maligning her opponent, a fellow democrat, to the point that I fear we democrats have lost the election. She will not be the nominee, but she does not want any other nominee to win. I have several friends who supported her at the beginning of this campaign. Most of them are now for Obama because of the divisive campaign she has run. You don't see Obama supporters leaving in droves to support Hillary though. I am a 60-year-old feminist (and proud of it) who does not identify with Hillary at all. She and Ferraro do not represent me. By the way, as far as I know, she was not intending to threaten Obama's life.

Bored,
Nothing to do with Esau and Jacob. Simple fact, Sen. Obama is simply the least qualified of the three, and he is the one running the divisive campaign by twisting words at every opportunity. The press is even more guilty of twisting words out of context however, particularly MSNBC. I refuse to even tune that station in anymore, mainly because of the Olberman and Matthews hate diatribes which seem to only be getting worse. I also wish Obama had honored his promise to the people of Illinois and at least served a full Senate term before running for President. Serving as a state legislator and 18 months of U.S. Senator has obviously not given him the experience or knowledge of issues as evidenced by his performances in the debates. Many of us just don't want another President who has to learn on the job in today's world. That said, I do respect everyone's opinion to support their own candidate on things that matter most to them (as long as it doesn't involve name calling.)

The obama people are ticked off because Hillary is continuing to win huge landslides

So Obama can say things like "typical white people" among others and then say "but what I meant to say was..." and all is forgiven. And Michelle can asy, "This is the first time I am proud of America", but then later say, "what I meant to say was..." and we are all supposed to say oh, of course. But when Hillary Clinton makes an unfortunate statement she is burnt at the stake. Smacks of reverse discrimination to me. Count me among the former Democrats who will never cast a vote for Obama.

I can't believe the hysterical comments being made on this and other websites.
Senator Clinton was stating a historical fact not inciting murderous threats. I was 13 when RFK was murdered and even then I knew that this country would never be the same - that we had lost our hope for any future of the this country. Senator Clinton would have been a young adult during that time and that tragedy made such a strong impact on everyone's lives that we still see it today. We would not have had Richard Nixon and Watergate, Reagan and Iran/Contra and we certainly would not have had the tragedy of these last eight years.
On the other hand, when I read or hear the ignorant comments like these being made, I wonder what kind of country have we become and no wonder we were stuck with this current administration.
When Bill Clinton was President, he turned this country around despite the press, the Republicans, and Monica. If Hilary can just be half as good as he was this country has a chance. Obama doesn't have the life experience and the
contacts to know how to do this. Inspiration and intelligence are not the same things.

anyone see Olbermann last night. He has totally lost it foaming at the mouth he devoted 11 minutes ranting.

What really surprised me though is the he frequently quotes history. Yet, here he went off the deep end. MSNBC is more one-sided than even Fox who I imagine are getting alot more Democrat viewers.

I think he's turned alot of people off given that more than 17 million voted for Hillary already. I decided to boycott MSNBC and their sponsors.

Last night, I found RFK Jr. statement on the "noquarter" web site. I copied it and posted it everywhere I could, including here on ABC. Not one of the mainstream media outlets carried that statement until late last night and just a handful are carrying it today. How is it that reaction by a member of RFK's family was completely ignored, but reaction from Obama's campaign was plastered everywhere? How is it that Obama's campaign and supporters can interpret Clinton's remarks to mean some kind of pronouncement of an assassination attempt on Obama? The only public remarks I've heard about an Obama assassination are from Doris Lessing and ... Michele Obama. Also, Jake and fellow travelers here, if you go to the Argus Leader's site, you can see Clinton's interview in its entirety and also a statement by the Argus Leaders's editor who was at that roundtable asking questions that Clinton's remarks were in the context of a timeline about the nominating process and nothing else. What is wrong with our media? How can we excuse the continuous shredding of one candidate and the continuous coddling of another as "journalism?" While the "media" reports that this situation has hardened the resolve of many to attack Sen. Clinton, it has only hardened my resolve to vote for her ... as top of the ticket ... independent candidate ... or write in vote .. in November. This voter is angry. Sign me a Bobby Kennedy Democrat from 1968 and a Hillary Clinton Democrat in 2008.

So now you all are blaming obama ...who has said really nothing about this...and sayign it isn't even weird or bad judgement that she invokes and assassination in a timeline that she doesn't have to use (their were orther extended primaries ...a number of them and all were notable and well known) ...

It is bad for any candidate to use a candidates assassination when referencing anything.

C'mon ...you all aren't that blind that you can't see at the least it is a strange reference and weird to pick that as your historical reference point.

80, 84... and there are a few further back... why skip 80 and 84 ?

That is what is nonsensical.

She slipped, okay.

But you all saying suddenly this is Obama's fault... I guess that is how this whole election has gone...all of Hillary's lists are someone else's faults.

whew...you really have to be screwy over the top brainwashed to stay on that roadmap.

DWC you bring up a great point. Do HRC supporters really view BHO as some kind of insurgent who took away HRC deserved nomination? A Esau, Jacob situation.

J thats a reach and you know it. Using that logic if a clinton supporter shoots BHO then its HRC fault. thats crazy

It's Obama's fault that Hillary didn't win!

I just don't get why this remark is being called "shocking!" Any of us who were in school or adults at that time remember this event, and I don't understand why the sheer mention of it would be offending, especially in the context it was spoken. Frankly, I don't see the difference in this statement and the constant reminders in January and April of MLK's assassination which were definitely for political gain. The Obama camp sure wanted to make sure everyone remembered that event. What's the big deal about mentioning an historical event! Obama's people just keep reinforcing many Clinton supporters feelings that Obama will stoop to any level to undermine Sen. Clinton's still viable candidacy. They also keep reinforcing my resolve to never vote for him under any circumstances because of his tactics, win at all cost.

why did she use RFK as the example...80 and 84 were long primaries (and by the way it is false that Bill clinton didn't secure the nomination until jJune...yes California hadn't voted but all of his strong competitors had left a month or so earlier.

bored,
Why put that notion into anybody's head. Do i have to spell it out for you? How old are you 12? Obama's camp is making this an issue and she didn't even mention the boney little twits name or mention assassinating him.

I am sick and tired of every time Hillary says something people twisting what she says and Obama the uniter is right up there with everybody else.

How is she changing history, math and reality. Those campaigns ran until June. That was her point!
***************************************

Lets put it context they didn't start untill the middle of March. So yea they ran to June.
They are on a different time schedual, there is no comparison.

Okay

this is the problem...
look at the new list Hillary has acquired over the length of this primary...of "gaffes" ... who has a list that long...

just like the Clinton scandal "lists"...and once again Hillary supporters blame these lists on someone else... or someone out to get Hillary.

This woman was married to a President for 8 years...what if someone involved an assassination (for whatever reason) in regard and during Bill's impeachment trials...

Hillary would be the first one screaming that it was disgusting and revolting and that that person should be removed.

From "obliterate" Iran to "hard-working people... hard-working white people" to she's "good in the kitchen" to invoking slavery and the holocaust and women's suffrage all in the name of her own election...

enough...

someone who puts those issues over themselves does not use them as marketing tools.

How can you all see that here is a candidate that is not about being President for the countries sake and all these issues...but first and foremost she puts her own candidacy over those issues and risks to her party, the country and the safety of other candidates.

j is it really that simple?

bored,
How is she changing history, math and reality. Those campaigns ran until June. That was her point!

Hillary women:

Where was she when this happened? [Quietly in opposition I suppose.]

[Dee Dee Myers] revealed in her memoir that when she discovered that she had a lower salary than her predecessor, her request to have it raised was refused for "budgetary reasons."

She then stated that a male coworker in a position of less responsibility than hers was paid more, she was told it was because he was older and had a family.

Also can you honestly compare WJC in 92 and the 1968 primaries to the current situation. I say this to bring up the point that its one to to try to win a campaign but when you try to change history, math and reality you start to offend not only obama fans(yes you people on both sides have become fans as in FANATICS)but bystanders like me who just don't like republicans.

Also if you believe that the two examples that she gave were some how historical then thats an even bigger problem.

Posted by: bored----------
Tell us how they aren't historical and fact, Einstein.

How does that make her a victim?

Please read this:

"Shortly after Clinton's comments drew negative coverage on the network newscasts, the Argus Leader came to the former first lady's defense."

"The context of the question and answer with Sen. Clinton was whether her continued candidacy jeopardized party unity this close to the Democratic convention," wrote the Argus Leader editorial board. "Her reference to Mr. Kennedy's assassination appeared to focus on the timeline of his primary candidacy and not the assassination itself."

just wait for the decision of the DNC on May 31, if it does not favor her ...Talk about a bully!

bored,
This is why:
""Senator Clinton's statement before the Argus Leader editorial board was unfortunate and has no place in this campaign," wrote Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton in a missive to reporters.

Burton's e-mail included a link to a New York Post story which noted that Obama, who received a Secret Service detail early in the campaign, has been the subject of threats. "

Also if you believe that the two examples that she gave were some how historical then thats an even bigger problem.

Mary, Excuse me....I think you have it backwards....Hillary and Bill have practiced gutter politics for 30+ years. It is they who attempt to bring every down to their level. These are the same tactics used by their supposed right-wing conspiracy enemies. That is why they have no problem being so chummy with Fox news lately. They believe that is how politics is supposed to be. That is why I will never vote for them.

I love how everything has become HRC is the victim. She makes a stupid statement but its BHO fault. I understand that HRC supporters love her but this is silly.

I guess this is the Change we can believe in. If that's true there is no HOPE for this country.

Look, I dislike Hillary as much as anyone for how and her husband have conductedn themselves this campaign. However, her comment about RFK is more stupid and thoughtless than anything else. Obama supporters should simply move on to other things. Showing righteous indignation over her remarks does not help your cause...

"Obama supporters are overplaying their hand here. Their outcries go beyond the "silly season" politics Obama so denounces - this is no less than down and dirty, in the gutter, twist anything your opponent says to try to make it work for you, worst of the same old politics."

Exactly.

Bob,
That is because obviously there are alot of STUPID people on this planet. His OWN SON IS NOT OFFENDED. He is the only one that should be and he's not. She DID NOT infer that Obama was going to be assassinated. Which part of that don't you morons get??????????????????????

The gaffe is one thing, the bigger problem is her lame apology, if you can even call it that. She has still not apologized to Obama, his wife and his children for discussing the possibility of his assassination in the campaign trail.

being an Obama supporter has nothing to do with what she said, as much as being a human being, who is old enough to remember some of america's darkest moments. With america's dark history of asssaination of our leaders why would she say something like that,and twice. She was not called down on it in March so she said it again. The fact she said it to why she was still ln this race makes it even more cold-blooded. It was a lot of other examples she could have given,like the fact the nomination process was taken to the convention that year, which is what she plans to do. This would have been more appropriate to why she was still in the race,than the death of a democratic opponent of that year. This has to haven been in this woman's heart,to have mentioned this more than once. I know Bobby Jr. is a supporter of Hillary's so I think he would hope that this is not what she meant.
proverbs: the heart of the rightous weighs his answers,but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil proverb 15:28
But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man "unclean" (Matthew 15:18).
The tongue has the power of life and death (Proverbs 18:21).
Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing (Proverbs 12:18). And to think that this statement came from a seasoned and experienced politician.
God please help us all!!!!!!!

Thank you Mr. Kennedy. This election process has been so ugly. Senator Clinton is criticized for every word she does or doesn't say. She is the most qualified, intelligent, and hard working candidate we have. People have joined the Obama bandwagon like sheep who have no place to go. The fact is that Obama started the ugliest by referring to the "Clinton Machine" early on and the press has joined in. We should be happy that she is so tenacious and holding on. People need to start thinking, and the delegates need to get their heads out of the clouds and do what is best for this country not what sounds good in the press.

Mandy,
Where is your proof she is inciting anything??????? I am sure you never said something that never came out how you intended it.

Obama has repeatedly opened his yap and made gaffes and NOBODY gives a rat's behind, he's given a free pass. For you to make a charge like that is irresponsible.

The issue is that Hillary could simply have stated that her husband’s campaign as well as Kennedy's campaign continued into June WITHOUT bringing up the assassination. It was simply tasteless and without sensitivity.

Why else would she stay in the race? the numbers aren't in her favor. Delegates are switching camps. She is inciting her supporters to obliterate Obama. Who will be left. "Me, Me, Me - Hillary. Oh..There's McCain to obliterate. I can just dress like a witch and go to his home in the night and he'll get a heart attack seeing me at the window with his age. I win! I will win the Presidency for me!

I'm not sure how Obama's campaign comes under fire for Hillary's statement. The example she cited raised some eyebrows and Obama's camp was asked for a response. They provided one - and later Axelrod stated he didnt think Hillary was doing anything but proving her point to continue into June.

Yet, this is being painted as Obama's intention to be divisive and petty? Because they didnt do more to steer the MSM away from a headline? I admit there's more that can be done for party unity but stating this is Obama's fault is a bit distorted. I think everyone needs to get outside and breathe a bit.

We have been silenced by the PROSTRATING Main Stream Media. But we are as DEFIANT as EVER, JUST as Hillary has been. We stand with her. All the way to the convention.

Mr. Howard Dean, are you listening??? If you insist on spitting on the over two million people who defied your IMPERIAL decree and voted in Michigan and Florida, the Democratic Party will become the PERMANENT minority party.

Finally, thank you, Mr. Michael Barone, for speaking for us, the SILENT majority of the SOON-TO-BE-FORMER Democratic Party.

"Most reporters are liberals, whose circles of friends and acquaintances have included people with views not dissimilar to those of Wright or William Ayers, the unrepentant Weather Underground bomber with whom Obama served on a nonprofit board and at whose house his state Senate candidacy was launched. Such reporters don't find these views utterly repugnant or particularly noteworthy. But most American voters do. And they wonder whether a candidate who associates with such people agrees with them -- or disbelieve him when he says he doesn't. "

Obama supporters are overplaying their hand here. Their outcries go beyond the "silly season" politics Obama so denounces - this is no less than down and dirty, in the gutter, twist anything your opponent says to try to make it work for you, worst of the same old politics. Just keep whining about how dirty the Republicans and Hillary are. Your accusations would be comical if they weren't so disgusting.

robs,
since when did hillary clinton have a keen eye and sharp ear for politics?

Of course – maybe that’s the plan. Let this thing go global, make sure everybody has heard the twisted version and the damage has been done, before Obama comes out and heroically shuts it down.

mr coffee,

I know glen close and her father
(who was a dr. in our area.)

she would not stoop to be a part of this mess.

now will smith, that is another story.

While watching the WHOLE interview, she had undoubtedly used a poor example as proof to her extended campaign argument.

However, someone with a keen eye and ear for politics as Hillary, having this example at the ready is pretty inexcusable. The American political timeline is littered with tragedies such as RFK's - and using his nomination (and eventual death) as your case example is under Politics 101's do's and don'ts. There are MUCH better examples to cite.

It's understandable that she's been on a pretty grueling schedule. However, it doesn't take away that this example was in the stockpile of answers to the extended campaign question. I would take Obama to task for the same.

Unfortunately, the salt in the wound was her apology. However, I don't think she understood the media backlash that would come of it when she addressed. Expect a more full-rounded apology within the next 24 hours (or so I hope!)

i repeat...the dem party that has vocally and tacitly suppoted bho, their affirmative action experiment, will make sure bho gets the nomination.
what they cannot assure, is how people will vote, and what the rep. will throw at him.

I don't like Hillary, but was convinced that somebody at Fox had distorted what she said. She actually did mention the murder as part of her thought process!

On one hand you have Bill saying she would make a good VP and she is holding on the to fact that Obama would get killed! She must actually think that got smote Edward for being against her and Barack will get his. How mean spirited person is she.

Just out of lack of good faith I would keep her off the ticket. Let the credits roll on Hillary's Fatal Election drama. I tell you Glenn Close is going to play Hillary and Will Smith will play Obama in the movie about this election!
