Hillary says she's not going to drop out because Obama might still be assassinated before the convention...

[GaryC 7]

Out of context, right

Samantha Powers was right - she really is a monster!

From the NY Daily News - this sums it up quite well

Her lame explanation that she brought up the 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy because his brother Ted's illness was on her mind doesn't cut it. Not even close.

We have seen an X-ray of a very dark soul. One consumed by raw ambition to where the possible assassination of an opponent is something to ponder in a strategic way. Otherwise, why is murder on her mind?

It's like Tanya Harding's kneecapping has come to politics. Only the senator from New York has more lethal fantasies than that nutty skater.

We could have seen it coming, if only we had realized Clinton's thinking could be so cold. She has grown increasingly wild in her imagery lately, invoking everything from slavery to the political killings in Zimbabwe in making her argument for the Florida and Michigan delegations.

*cough* I saw it coming.

Wishful thinking? Perhaps, says the Washington Post:

There are taboos in presidential politics, and this is one of the biggest. To raise the specter of a rival's assassination, even unintentionally, is to make a truly terrible thing real. It sounds like one might be waiting for a terrible thing to happen, even if one isn't. It sounds almost like wishful thinking.

Inappropriate and reckless, says Andrew Sullivan:

You only have to spend a few minutes talking with African-Americans about this campaign to discover that the fear that Obama could be assassinated is very much on their minds. It is in everyone's subconscious, especially Michelle Obama's. To refer to the June assassination of Bobby Kennedy in the context of reasons to stay in this interminable race against Barack Obama is therefore catastrophically inappropriate. Coming after her pitch for "white votes", it is reckless.

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

Hillary Clinton today brought up the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy while defending her decision to stay in the race against Barack Obama.

...

"We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it," she said, dismissing calls to drop out.

Par for the Clintons.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

She outlined her last and only path to the nomination. Which means she knows that she's done.

[jundp 191]

I read this article and a few others on her comments. I don't think there's any way to "take it out of context." There are other historical situations she could have referred to. The assassination of RFK didn't need to be one.

At first I thought your last sentence was going to be... "Which means she know's [what has to be done]" Hehehe... Like I wrote earlier, Sen. Obama... WATCH YOUR BACK! The Clintons are coming. I'm sure with the $109M Pres. Clinton made last year that there is room enough to hire a good assassin.

She's been Senator of New York too long. She thinks she's Mob or something

Absolutely, now she's trying to "wack" the competition.

He'd really have to watch his back if he was to have her on his ticket. That would be a whole new path to the Presidency for Mrs. Clinton.

What ,is she planning to have him "whacked" ?

She planning to get him whacked? Nah, it's the other way round.

The KoolAid brigade is whipping this thing up into a frenzy to reenact the Salam Witch Trials.

agreed. They are taking anything out of context to use it against her. Troll merely posted a soundbite, completely out of context.

I hope she goes until August. Wright is probably frothing at the mouth now, I doubt he could hold it in for 2 more months.

I realize that you are a hillary supporter, But I truly cannot understand how you can defend her statement, she obviously has some evil wishful thinking. But yet you want to blame it on 'soundbites'.

Hahahahahaha... That's very interesting! I hope that everyone is paying attention to this... Hmmmm

Let's see that context, then.

Oh, and don't get them hopes up; Wright's 5 minutes of fame are over.

If Obama lets HRC be his running mate, he will need to hire food tasters... she might try to poison him...
