It’s a shame that some people seem to have such a cavlier attitude about this subject.

Ironically, the woman in that clip was actually in the midst of pointing out the damage Hillary’s comment made.

But her stupid “Osama/Obama . . . what about both” comment is no better than what Hillary said.

There are no words. . . that makes three public assasination comments in the past 2 weeks. Unreal.

Hillary should be kicked out of the Democratic Party! Now I fear some psycho may act on this crap!

I hate Hillary!

Craig, right or wrong, your fatigue with obsessing about death resonated deeply with me… i’m tired of thinking of death and i’m tired of the fear that has been generated. I will join you in offering positive thoughts and prayers; something we can all do… I don’t post a lot, but read often, and appreciate the balance you so often bring to the discussion.

Montana Preference Primary is
Open

South Dakota Primary is Closed

Good grief, I read earlier that the Secret Service increased Barack’s security at Wesleyan. Was it because Hillary’s dumbass comments?

The more people see it, the worse the situation.

I feel nauseous… I haven’t called or emailed yet because I can’t organize my head around this.

Ikonegro- No, I think they’re viewing the campaign through Hillary-colored glasses. No matter what BO does, he’s seen as wrong. Hillary’s the victim-
no matter what.
Was it here that someone suggested she’s just trying to get him to trip up and say something nasty so she can prove he’s wrong for POTUS? I can see that.

Hearts -You’re completely right and they try to dismiss Obama supporters of the same thing!

B,
I see that happening too. It’s not about getting a Democrat in the WH, it’s about getting HER in the WH. I also wouldn’t put it pass them to pay women to go to DC and make a stink about MI & FL.The DNC should make ads using the video of her saying those elections didn’t matter as well as her saying after the first Super Tuesday, this would all be over. (You know, back when she just knew she’d have it in the bag) I really didn’t dislike her before but the way she’s run her campaign, I really CAN’T vote for her.omuvc

If it makes any of feel just a little better, Im watching the Libertarian Party Convention, and through 2 votes Bob Barr is leading..

If Gore taught me anything, its that votes count. Even if its just 20,000 or so that go this way vice Mc Cain, I’ll take it.

Plus, GEORGIA went for Huckabee. Barr’s from Ga, I fully expect Obama to be competive in atleast one of these states…

“Clinton’s RFK Assassination Reference Irks Kennedy Family
May 25th, 2008 by JOE GANDELMAN, Editor-In-Chief

If a lot of members of the Kennedy family had earlier broken with Senator Hillary Clinton in her drive for the 2008 Democratic party nomination, then consider her comments about Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination, how it ties in with her desire to stay in the race and the way they were widely interpreted to now have created a bigger break — and sparked considerable anger.

Not only that, but some of them them think it’s the last hurrah of a “sloppy” campaign.

So says the New York Post in a story quoting unnamed Kennedy family sources. But as anyone who has worked as an editor or reporter on a newspaper knows, stories like these are NOT created by editors or reporters sitting around an inventing quotes. That happens rarely and when it does those journalists get the boot. So this is strong stuff:

Members of the Kennedy family are incensed over Hillary Rodham Clinton’s invoking the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy to explain why she’s staying in the race – and they think it could be the death knell of an increasingly desperate and sloppy campaign.

“That comment may be the last nail in her campaign’s coffin,” a Kennedy relative told The Post. “How can Hillary even use the experience argument when she repeatedly pushes the wrong buttons in her comments?”

An insider added, “I think people really felt that a line was crossed and that her campaign – and even her legitimacy as a politician – ended today.”

Said a second relative, “She no longer has only her husband to blame for the ill-chosen comments coming from her camp.”

That’s about as blunt as you can get. And the word “legitimacy” is particularly ironic: one of Clinton’s arguments she has been making, without using the word, is that rival Democrat Barack Obama’s nomination might not be legitimate if the Florida and Michigan delegations were not seated and its votes counted, a stance her campaign had earlier not taken but took once she needed those votes.

The Post piece notes that while high-profile Clinton supporter Robert F. Kennedy Jr. immediately defended Clinton’s remarks, ” others in the family’s inner circle are fuming”:

One cited “a perceived insensitivity” in her comment, made Friday before a South Dakota newspaper’s editorial board, especially with the 40th anniversary of RFK’s death two weeks away and Sen. Ted Kennedy battling a brain tumor.

“We were all sort of dumbfounded that she would say such a thing,” the insider said.

There was also anger outside the family. Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY), a Hillary supporter, told Bloomberg News that she said “the dumbest thing you could have possibly said.”

Note the Rangel was giving the press a re-run quote here. He called Clinton’s comment about her white voter support pretty much the same thing.
