RFK Jr. Says No One Should Be Offended

Those who try to belittle Hillary Clinton is just trying to bring her down to the same level as Senator Obama. He has been in the sewer since he started in politics with the terrorist Bill Ayers who sponsored his political coming-out party. Then Tony Rekzo, best friend and campaigner, fund raiser and the wonderful Rev Wright, mentor and pastor have all had a hand in his campaign. Obama is a sad excuse for a politician. He has ruined the Democratic Party.

More OBAMA DRAMA– If Robert Kennedy Jr. isn’t upset by her comment then why would anyone else be???

Anything can happen to any politician at anytime including Clinton. Obama’s or Clinton’s plane could go down, that is all she was saying. Those of you who think she said she wants Obama to be assassinated are nuts.

I AM AN OBAMA SUPPORTER. WHAT OF IT?

I agree with RFK Jr .I am sure women many times have said something when they meant something else. It happens all the time . For the press to go after this shows that they have nothing to talk about.Sen Clinton never mentioned Sen Obama

With no malintent, HRC referenced an historic example poorly. In trying to game the situation, Axelrod and Co. deliberately exploited the tragedy. Is this what Unity smells like? Does Axelrod care if the Kennedys have this cycling through the news all weekend?

if you twist it really hard, you can imagine that she was saying something about Obama.
But, then, if you twist it really hard, you can make it so that Clinton says whatever you want her to say.
That’s the beauty of being an Obama supporter. Whatever you want becomes real. YES WE CAN!

Watch some of Obama supporters dismiss RFK’s own son now just because he has the good sense to realize this has been taken totally out of context by some in the media and Obama-partisan blogosphere.

JD..THIS WAS NOT ABOUT RFK’S FATHER.

Thank you RFK Jr. Now, if only the Obama supporters would clean out their ears!

Poor taste..
Poor judgement..
Poor choice of words..
Considering Mrs. Clinton could have used other elections that went to the convention, I’d say that her choice of words wer, well, repulsive. She is a smart woman.
I found her remarks to be more disrespectful to the Kennedy family, and Obama second. But all in all, outright rude.
When a Kennedy member NOT endorsing her can give the same comments as one that does- well….
I don’t think it will happen.
In light of recent circumstances with the Kennedy family- her comment is tasteless and rude.
PERIOD.

STARLIGHT..READ THE INFORMATION ON PAUL VS CLINTON and also read when she was 27 years old she was fired for lying and other illegal acts when she worked on the Watergate hearing (check it out, its in the internet). After this you will know who Hillary is before you glorify her.

She is beyond shame. There is no other way to take her point except as saying, “I will hang around just in case there is a situation similar to 1968”. What this means to the Kennedys. But there is another issue and another party that is not being acknowledged: Senator Obama. This woman and her surrogates are incapable of honesty if their lives depended on it.
New Yorker should start looking for a new senator.

Obama didn’t waste anytime trying to smear her. This was obviously an historical reference. For the Obama camp to jump on this was his way of pushing her out of the VP position. Why didn’t he give her a break on this? If this is his idea of generosity, good faith and unity, then no thanks.

AVEPA….AU CONTRAIRE. It is you who need the education. I am miffed at the fact that you can not see what is as plain as the nose on your face. Hillary is definitely displaying some pathological tendencies. I pity your lack of intuitiveness. (IS THIS EDUCATED ENOUGH FOR YOU?)

Stop lying Davis:
“Obama or his campaign said nothing about Hillary’s “vile” words today…”
Obama’s campaign came out immediately and tried to make an issue of it saying it had “no place” in the campaign. Looks like it backfired. Barack Obama is a DISGRACE.
We are all SO OVER the fake outrage. I can’t wait to help Obama lose either now or in November.

I agree with a Mary that stated that the Obama camp is just trying to bring Hillary Clinton down to his level—the SEWER.
I don’t know one thing this corrupt politician has done that benefited the average American family, but he has sure benefitted himself with the corrupt company that he kept around.
The $200,000 gift from Rezko when he purchased his Chicago mansion is more than half of America families can afford for a home. Yet he paid no income tax on the gift. He has never told the absolute truth about anything. He is a corrupt politician who will say or do anything to win the POWER position. Send him back to corrupt Chicago. Please elect a true American, McCain or Clinton.

I give Hillary the benefit of the doubt–and I’m an Obama supporter. Be shocked! Here’s the thing though–it’s been a long campaign. She’s tired. She was trying to make a point (an totally inaccurent one, but a point nonetheless). Watching her get beat up for it bothers me. I feel for her. She just spoke her point badly. Then I remember…Obama spoke his “bitter/cling” argument badly. And although he was right, she ran with it. She knew what he really meant, but it didn’t stop her from twisting and mistating what he said. So do I think she just spoke her point today in a poor way. Yes. Do I think she gets a pass on the fall out? No. Does this all make me a little sad about the state of politics? Yes. Is this why I support Obama? Yes.

Do we really want four years of this kind of whining and race card playing and hysteria?
These Obama people are truly unhinged. My vote went to Clinton. In the event Obama is nominated, my vote will go to McCain.
You Obama freaks are ridiculous.

Barack Obama and his supporters have gone off the deep end. They’re grotesquely off their rockers and that guy is simply unfit for the US presidency.

The obama people and the Media are like vultures waiting for the kill -Hillary said nothing wrong nothing hurtful. She was referencing a historical point using Bobby Kennedy – Big deal- Now the Obama people will have to deal with a BACKLASH.Every day that this goes on we learn more and more about Obama and the tactics he uses, In the end Mccain will win. I have voted in many elections and always as a democrat but I will not vote for Obama – I call him the Great Divider.

cyclops: “Keith Olbermann looked like he was going poopie…or something…in his pants tonight.
I don’t think the man is well.
My feelings exactly. I’m worried about Keith. I forced myself to watch him tonight knowing that he would go all out, but he out-outraged himself. I think he’s gone insane. The only explanation for his behavior over the past several months is that he’s been hoping for that Press Secretary job. Granted, he’s qualified. He’s as much of a delusional talking head as Dana Perino is for Bush.

The media has worked long and hard to make Obama the candidate. I understand the need in news for churn on all of these online sites, but whose idea was it to float Clinton’s comment as a veiled threat against Senator Obama?? Stupid, dangerous and irresponsible. Senator Obama, I wish you and your family a happy life. I don’t want you to be President THIS TIME, and I want you to call off your dogs who are the meanest group of supporters I have ever seen. If they are a reflection of you, see ya. McCain 08

Vince Foster, Ron Brown…. about a dozen of Bill’s ex-girlfriends, sounds like a pattern developing.

YOU’VE GOT THEM GOING OMENTUM, GREAT JOB!

Omentum:”Keith reminded me in that tongue beating he gave Hillary”…ugh…Don’t worry Hillary…He will be over soon…his running Countdown is at 49…48…47…46…45…try not to look at your watch…

You know what’s fun about the Obamanuts?
It’s going to be delicious when patriotic Democrats to join forces with Republicans and vote for McCain in November.
We’re going to be delighted when we defeat Barry and his loud, whiny and annoying supporters.
He has united us – against him.

NOBAMA…David Axelrod was on MSNBC tonight and he said that the Obama camp does NOT feel that Hillary was trying to imply anything. OBAMA’S SURROGATES AND SUPPORTERS DO NOT SPEAK FOR HIM WE HAVE OUR OWN OPINIONS.

i don’t think and really would believe that hillary would attack the kennedys. in fact, i do believe, that every word out of her mouth is attacketd by the media. whether they be for mec’can’t or obama. it seems as though everyone attacks hillary’s every move. now theyattack every word she speaks. how dare michelle obama compare herself to jackie kennedy…..how dare anyone comapare themesleves to them, be they right or wrong…..let the obmamas compare themeselves to the wright dynasty, the rattso’s, the ayers, the bittergate, the whiteygate, whatever..

CAPPAMORE: I am well aware of the history. If I want a history lesson, I most certainly would not want Hillary to teach it to me. I would never know if she were giving me a “true” account or just mispeaking it to death.

Davis – Keating five = acquitted McCain. Supreme Court = approval from house and congress (which no doubt, will be controlled by democrats, who will approve or not approve). Who wants an idiot who supported the californian supreme court to make gay marriage (a social issues) out of feelings and ignored the majority opposition to appoint judges?? How many times Republicans have been in contral of house, congress and presidency?? and until now Roe vs Wade is still the law. Old fool = a war hero, a survivor of car crash to power lines, airplane explosion, airplane crash and tortured as POW. Old fool = sufferred for your country, son, father and grandfather fought and died for your country.
Man, what do i have to do here to get some senses into these mindless people’s head. I think i’m giving up because they are helpless. Good luck with your lives. Try to work hard and share your pies with the Obamas. We’ll see you next 4 years or so…

Bobby was against the Mafia then, and his son is carrying on the legacy.
Nobama! Not now. Not ever……

It’s sad that some of the Obama supporters are so nasty and petty about Hillary’s campaign that they are pushing long time Democrats out of the party with their vicious behavior. Luckily there are mature Democrats who understand that this is an historic campaign between two well deserving candidates. They both have the support of the best Democratic leadership of our time. Obama has Senator Kennedy. Clinton has Robert Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Martin Luther King’s son. None of these gentlemen have tried to bring down Clinton or Obama. Maybe some of Obama’s supporters should get a clue!

Omentum 12:19:06…As in the monkey? You opened the door on that one.

davis, with respect sir, what is this crap about roe v wade?? and if it is up for debate or what. a woman shall have and will have the right to choose. we shall not be overcome, destroyed, manipulaited, controlled, or bossed around by some idiot man. our bodies are our own, and we shall be the ones to head them up. and yes, i am married…and yes, i am a staunch dem.

Besides disenfranchise millions of voters─ there are things about Barack Obama that’s eerily reminiscent of George Bush.I am pretty certain that if elected president Sen. Barack Obama is going to be even worse than George W. Bush!
Our media is cheering for Sen. Obama, just like the media called George Bush the “the great uniter” circa Florida 2000! Obama lawyers successfully blocked Michigan and Florida re-votes! You will notice that Sen. Obama has lot of George Bush in him! Remember the media talking heads asking Al Gore to do the “noble thing” just like Obama supporters and media people asking Hillary Clinton to “drop out” of the race─ even when it wasn’t half way over. Sen. Obama also makes gaffs just like George W. Bush; which typical of a fumbling politician. I am sure Sen. Barack Obama is a liberal incarnation of George Bush. These gaffes are becoming a part of his political persona.
“We should be sending Arab specking interpreters to Afghanistan!”
This shows Sen. Obama’s utter ignorance of the Middle East and the Islamic world. (Afghans don’t speak Arabic!) Are we really going to hand him the power to direct our foreign policy, with two wars raging in Iraq and Afghanistan, to such an ignoramus, especially after all the damage and devastation done by Mr. George Bush?
And in the same breath he said he made another gaffe about “Agricultural experts in Afghanistan.”
“I’ve been to all 57 states…”
“100 million dies in Myanmar!”
“She was punished with a baby…!”
And he called a news reporter, “Sweetie!”
Then while he campaigning in Oregon, a woman asked him what he thought of the situation with Hanford Nuclear Site. This is a real big deal for us those of us who live in the Pacific Northwest. He was completely stumped! He didn’t know what Hanford Nuclear Facility was! This is shocking! This is utter ignorance. This is big red flag! This sort of thing about Obama makes me cringe! I am certain that he isn’t qualified to be our next commander- in-chief!
Barack Obama is no JFK or MLK! He’s lot like George Bush.
If elected president, Barack Obama could even be worse than George Bush…

The 1968 primary began March 12th. Robert F. Kennedy was shot June 5th and died on June 6th, 1968. I would not call less than 2 months a hard fought race. Also, the 1992 primary started on February 18th and Bill Clinton had the nomination wrapped up after he won the New York primary in early April. Again, I don’t think a little over 2 months should be considered a hard fought race.
I’m a little surprised at his statement. What the heck is going on! IMHO, it was a clear attempt on Clinton’s part to plant the idea. There are plenty of examples of hard fought races in both parties that continued up until the convention. She could have used one of those.

Clinton just expressed an unconscious wish…As well as spreading the lie that she is being robbed the election when in reality she is trying to steal it from Barack.
But nobody should think wrong of her…or from CAIN’s pastors…or CAIN’s nasty words…or from Huckubee’s gunshot on Obama…
Since they are all white, we should consider that all they have is good intentions….
On the other side: Obama, Wright and Michelle’s words should be taken seriously and believe they were taken in context and purposely spoken…because they are not like us…right?

Actually, the person that has been knock off by men is Mrs. Hillary Clinton. The media have killed her character MSNBC and CNN need to be taken off of the air. They will turn this country into a civil war. Just like they did when they shoved the war in Iraq in our throats. We should turn ourselves not against each other but against the media people for dividing the Democratic party so Mr. McCain can win. They alone are responsible and accountable for the millions of innocent people that have died in Iraq, how can they live when they know better they contributed to the killing of thousands of people. Now they are turning race against race. Voltaire said. “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities”. The media don’t want the best for this country at all, they only care about money and ratings. Almost everything you hear are lies,or twisted truths. They are already insinuating an assassination on Mr. Obama, that way it will make headline news and their ratings will skyrocket. If they were true believers in Mr. Obama they would have supress those news the way they supress the truth in other things, but instead it is a great opportunity to send a message to any sick person and have their desire met.

truthfully everyone, i would like to see someone represent persons of all ages, color, creeds, and religions. and then most of all represent someone who gives a fair day’s work for a fair day’s wage. raise the min wage again. vote more $$$ for union workers. god bless america.

ok davis, i understand what you are saying….i raised two children by myself..one boy, one girl. did it alone dude…and it was hard as hell. listen friend, if you don’t want your children to see things on tv, then turn it off…play board games…i am now a grandmother, and am not into fighting with people on line….am into just taling and reasonging. i understand your frustration sir. especially raising children in this day and age. as i said earlier…..i did it alone, with no help. just hope. i am for the working man, the middle class, and yes, i don’t have a hell of a lot of education……but that does not make me hateful or an idiot….just makes me someone who loves life, their children, their grandchildren, their late parents, and those who serve our country…..and no sir, i do not want mc’can’t as the prez…….i just truly want the dems to unite….unite….unite….as my late father represented when he was alive….i so want that for my children and grandchildren…i believe you want the same…

Obama needs to grow up politically. His talking has not convinced me he is a strong candidate. Actions, experience, & world interactions are evident with Hillary. SHE IS THE STRONG CANDIDATE. Barak should return to his senatorship and wait for a while to prove his worth as a potential candidate, not because he has the “high school image popularity vote.”

1/2 of the Democratic party want Obama. Good luck with the rest of the voting public.

BO supporters want their projections to be real. Jump and raise even more dirt and dust which are their own platform of virtual reality. They have projected so much negative on HC and this shows that they don’t miss any opportunity to feed into their junk yard.
It’s not enough that RFK said that “there is mistake for people to take offense”.
You think because you project something and want it to be real is enough to make it real?
The real divide line between HC supporters and BO supporters is : VIRTUALITY versus SUBTANTUALITY.
HC may not be perfect, but she addresses substance. When BO addresses hope and change , people ask where were you trained, to carry out realization, finally it has been admitted that his substantial training was his 20 years link with Rev. Wright. And no wonder why many people prefer to trust HC. Yet those voters are called racist. If race was a dividing factor within the american society for so many years, if you want to carry out unity, never use it the way it has been throughout the primaries contests.
Many black artists, actors what have you show their talent as a healing factor. To shut up some real facts like someone saying it takes courage to fight and speak for equality, it also takes progressive action to pass laws for equality, and declare this is racist is not going to help. Don’t turn everything into negative, because it is negative to always react negatively.
So listen to RFK, everything is fine under the american sky.

Re: “For one thing, BO & his wife were afforded the luxury of 230 points added to their SAT because of AA to get into an Ivy League school.”
That’s not true. Nobody is given extra points on their SAT for being black. You didn’t get in to an Ivy League school because you make dumb comments such as this one.

What a bizarre frenzied state of mind Obama supporters must be in. But it’s not mysterious. The Obama camp is deliberately twisting Hillary’s comment out of context to excite emotional outrage over a red herring issue.
You’d have to have the reading comprehension of a mollusk – or have a seriously distorting emotional agenda – to so blindly take Hillary’s pointing to a historical event as anything other than that. The hyporcisy and violence of the Obama camp astonishes me.
So many Obamabots have become mindless, dangerous religious zealots over Obama. And I suppose that’s all you can “cling” to because the man has no experience, no substance, and evidently no integrity.

For those who don’t believe in polls that show only IDIOTS vote for Clinton — look no further than the comments in this blog. I could care less if you won’t vote for Obama in the general — go vote for McCain and enjoy the next 4 years knowing you got “revenge” like the good Christians you claim to be. If I ran this country, I wouldn’t let the uneducated vote and weigh down the system by electing George Bushes and John McCains — this is one of the great weaknesses of Democracy that has held us back for years, and it’s time to take the problem head on.

Surprise surprise — Hillary’s claim that the elections always run into June is just another flat out lie. Bill had the election wrapped up in February, at a time when states weren’t moving their primary dates to earlier dates like they do today. Just another one to add to the other 100 lies Clinton has told and now believes. If she were honest every once in a while, I might actually support her.

what is beyond understanding is that the bho supporters, most of which are black, loathe the clintons. how quickly they forget haow they stood up for them AND how many millions and millions of dollars bill’s charity has raised and sent to africa. i wish he would cut them off and send the money to a group that appreciates him. but he is above that and will continue on with his cause.

Jane, I agree with you ! It sounds terrible, but it would work better !

the elitists are the ones who have pushed bho to the point where he is. the elitists are bho and his supporters. the party elders have also turned their collective backs on hillary.you can go for “hope”(which is a feeling, not action), we choose to go with the candidate we feel most able to run the country-hillary.
and, he is in the ring.

Obama’s camp is so thin skinned that they get whipped up over anything. Now I can see the Obama camp staging a fake attempt on BHO to gain sympathy.

if hillary goes down, you go down as her supporters will vote mccain, then you loose.

It seems odd at best ti even mention RFK and the 1968 Campaign as lasting until June as justification. In 1968 the First Primary was NH and it was held in March. Nixon didn’t even enter the race until Feb.
These primaries were not even on the same schedule as today

so the kennedy family are not offended, and see this as it was meant. just referencing the month of june.
the sun is shining in my part of the country, but it is a dark dark day in this country this am.
for any thinking rational american citizen can really see now just how the so called american media-has let the american people down.
these people get paid a lot of money to do what they do, they all have health insurance, all able to educate their children. and they can lead people into a frenzy trying to destroy this woman.
it is a shame. it would not matter on this issue if this were done to obama or mccain, i would not read into it what has been read into it. and i would still be speaking out on the wrongness of it. you people who are saying all of these negative things should be ashamed of yourselves-i hope none of you have children listening to you rant about this, and then they can go back and hear this or read what sen. clinton really said. and then tell you, “Mom/Dad
I don’t think that is what she meant at all”
I did not watch any of the news programs last night, and did not miss any of it. i usually watch cspan in the am but not when the guy who is on there today is on. he should be on a network, he is so biased against sen. clinton.
now the person who really makes gaffe’
all the time is obama
saying kentucky was close to arkansas.
saying there were 10k people killed in a tornado-when the death toll was 12,
saying on the 18th iran was a little country with a little military budget
and poses no threat to us at all
and then on the 19th saying the threat iran poses to the usa is grave.
saying the great lakes were in oregon.
and the list goes on and on.
I will be glad when june 3rd, (oh my god sen. clinton is right there are democratic primaries in JUNE 2008,
just as there was in JUNE 1992, and JUNE 1968,-remember folks it was JUNE 1968-RFK HAD JUST WON THE CALIFORNIA PRIMARIES AND HE WAS KILLED-JUNE 1968
that is all the woman was saying.
the media
bill burton of the obama team
the obama supporters
and anyone else who is trying to read all of the stuff into this other than what it was
it is just an example of how the low-class chooses to stay on the low-road.
it is shameful.

possibility three…you haven’t a clue.

Well RFK Jr I am not offended, I just think it was an ridiculous analogy. Certainly not one used for the unity of the country.

Sorry I am deeply offended! This man had secret service protection early in the race. Hillary doesn’t misspeak, she says what she means, and means what she says until she catches heat! She is a very careful and deliberate speaker. Bobby Kennedy, Jr. is a Hillary supporter I am sure he spoke privately to her about that unconscionable statement and reamed her over the coals. So say what you want it is an offensive statement and it is not the first time she mentioned it. To imply she is staying in the race because he may get killed sorry people it is reckless. She owes the Obamas an apology without a doubt! Now let’s reverse the script…If Obama said that, oh my God! The media blitz from the press and the Clintons would have pushed him straight out of the race. Unfortunately race does matter in what is appropriate to do and say in this national race. So it is not a Obama supporter thing versus the Clinton supporters. It was reckless, reprehensible and irresponsible. Sounds like more Bush politics. I said it but no one should be offended and if anyone was then I apologize? Another Clinton nonapology! Looking into millions of televisions sets: I did not have sex with that woman…Monica Lewinsky! America had to define it’s definition of what is sex because of the former President, who by the way is also running. Dammit just apologize for once directly and be done with it. Because believe it or not, unless your pigmentation is darker, it usually yields broad spread forgiveness. I think if Hillary would for once give a sincere, heartfelt apology it would be a nonissue possibly!

Why are people so offended. If anybody with an ounce of sense can read what she said it didn’t have anything to do with Obama. I have even read that people think its code for somebody to do it. Get real people!
She was making a comparison to Bill and RFK’s candidacy running into June. For the media to blow this out of proportion is utterly disgusting. If RFK’s own son is not offended why should anybody else be. Shows how stupid and moronic our media has become and you Obama sheeples are right there on the bus with them.

Why should she apologize to Obama? I’ve read that several times. Where did she even mention the twit.

The thing here is that she has said this more than once. For someone who is supposed to be so intelligent should know better. She could have used another analogy, but this one. This is sick and twisted. There are no excuses about what she said. As for RFK, Jr., I dont’ get it. How can you justify her words? I can only imagine that the rest of your family don’t feel the same. She is truly desperate and feels that Barack has taken her throne away. She mentions why he can’t seal the deal, and my question to her is why can’t you!

and the lone Kennedy family member supporting Hillary is ask for an opinion…imagine that LOL I would BET that Ted Kennedy has a differing take on it.
The witch has thrown water on herself.

and by the way gregory,
i am enough of a world citizen to know in our american school we did not learn to spell CHECK- the way YOU spell it.

Yea there is no comparison between Cling and Assassination. Everyone here knows that cling is not PC. Whereas Assassination is something we use in every Presidential Campaign.
What’s the big deal here, Obama used Cling!!!!!!!
Obama08

Phoenix Bird: If one wants fuel for their fire, just publish the logos that one wears on his or her lapels. Hilarity wears the Phoenix Bird.
P.S. Elections are not won from the investigation of the facts, only Emotions and high drama, and anything but the truth. Elijah:

Was Hillary making an innocent comparison or is she giving Arthur Bremer, who was paroled recently, types something to think about?
If anything was to happen to Obama everyone would blame you know who.

i have heard obama supporters on tv. say sen. clinton will campaign for obama.
why would the obama or obama supports want sen. clinton to campaign for him?

Richard,
Were you in diapers in 1968? What she is stating is FACT. Unfortunately RFK was assassinated. What she was referring to was he was still in the race IN JUNE.

Sorry Charlie not all Obama supporters fit that demographic. Just smart enough to see her for what she really is.
A calculating opportunist, and not a very good one at that, who will say anything to win.
You think she moved to New York for the mild winters?

I’m somewhat pleased that Hillary raised the specter of assassination because this effectively ends the talk of her being the VP. I believe this woman could have Obama killed which is to say that I put nothing past her. There are other qualified woman out there who could be the VP. It does not have to be Hillary and after this, it won’t be.

alex,
the only people who are in any real danger are the people who walk and talk with you daily.
i wish someone who knows you well could read what you just wrote.

cry baby bama,
do not dispair,
obama will not be president.
even with all of the help he has been given.
the dem party as we have known it is finished.
by the time of the next election there will be another viable third party
some where from the middle. a moderate dem. party.
we may not be able to have bought ourselves a tv station or a newspaper.
but we will beat the next dem or rep who runs for office.
the british have done it. and it is time for the americans to do it also.
so no more screaming all cap writing.
obama will not win.
the very best of this for me, IS the fact that sen. clinton will be able to go back to her day job. and not campaign for obama.
michelle obama said she would not want to campaign for sen. clinton. and now sen. clinton does not have to feel obliged to campaign for him.
he will lose and the dnc, the msm will have no one to blame but obama.
so i am glad she will not campaign for him.
why should obama want sen. clinton to campaign for him?

Why are all the Hillary supporters so touchy?
I mean shes just being honest, its her best quality: her honesty and her integrity. It goes well with her victim status. The media is out to get her, its sexism, its the corrupt caucus system…
But shes a fighter, she won’t quit till everyone has their voice heard, shes all about justice.
I’m not really sure if I want to identify with what has happened to her campaign. She was not just the front runner; she was the nominee in waiting and to put it bluntly she blew it. ( won’t add anything to that ).
Her supporters need to get over it. In this instance the dream died and it wasn’t pretty.

we will see just how strong obama and his supporters constitution is once sen. clinton is out.
and we will see once obama loses in nov.
just how loud they will cry foul.
obama will not be POTUS,
he is not qualified.

California Voter,
RFK’s own son put this in the exact right context. Yet you would spin it differently, but only for nefarious purposes. Is there anything that Obama and company will not seize politically? If you stop drinking the coolaid long enough to where you can come out of the daze you will be the first to admit that Obama is all about politics as usual, surrounded by the same usual suspects, all from Washington, paid for by the same lobbyists. That old line that he doesn’t take money from lobbyists, that’s been disproven. Fact is he takes money from everybody and this thing is a big charade. Obama is interested in one thing and one thing only, Obama wants to see Obama get paid!
========================================
It’s Obama’s turn to get paid!
========================================

Democrats’re proving that NOWAY TO STAND BEHIND SEN OBAMA THIS NOV.
Sen Obama – 2061

obama supporters
what did obama mean when he said on the 18th of may-that iran was a little country with a little military budget and posed no real threat to america.
and then on the 19th of may, say
the threat from iran to the us is grave.
how do you obama supports read it
which obama will be in the white house.
the one of the 18th or the one of the 19th?

Hillary, and her campaign, most notably Terry McCauliffe, have made the observation several times that “anything can happen”.    And, she’s used the assassination example before as justification..
It’s not like Hillary hasn’t had this thought before.  There’s nothing new here.
Just not supposed to say it out loud, and especially not with the video tape running.
However, it may perhaps mercifully end the talk of Hillary being veep. 
      “Lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from
      evil…”
      Matthew 6:13
Might be considered downright un-Christian, certainly uncharitable, to put Hillary in a position where she had to brood daily over the fact that she’s “only one heartbeat away” from her prize.

do not know of, nor have i read a post by a hillary supporter that says we WANT her to be bho’s vp.no one i know will vote for bho with or wothout hillary. the key is we do not want bho as president regardless.

no none of the sen. clinton supporters want her to be his vp.
it would upset the natural order of things.
when has, and why should the smartest most qualified one take the second position behind the underqualified one?
everytime obama opens his mouth he shows just how unqualified he is to be president. and there should be reason to be concerned about him being in the white house, it is not his safety and future we should be worried about, he is covered. it is the middle class and poor that should be worried.

And Farrakhan supporters murdered Malcolm X. If Clinton choose Obama as VP what’s to say they won’t do to the same to her.

What? She doesn’t get to CHOOSE anything, she lost.

Obama and SweetieGate, we shall not forget!

Oh good Lord! I live in MI, that reporter is annoying, rude and gross. “Sweetie” is probably the nicest thing she has been called in 5 years. Give it a rest!

When was the last time there was positive news about Hillary? This being a holliday weekend, it has all weekend to stew.

Obama should learn a lesson from Robert Kennedy Jr.–it’s called “class”
Obama is too busy trying to portray himself as a victim and looking for sympathy votes.
We love you Hillary! or McCain 08

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.

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.

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

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. “

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!

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.

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!!!!!!!

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??????????????????????

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…

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.

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

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

How does that make her a victim?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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’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.

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”

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

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
