Shock: Hillary raises assassination issue

Even if she wasn't raising the specter of her rival candidate being assassinated (which she was), this is in incredibly poor taste. What the hell is she thinking?

This woman makes me sick.

ditto to radiovolume's comment!!

Hillary go HOME!

Boy are you all stupid, I watched on TV when Robert Kennedy was shot. Because you all are young and were not there you do not understand what she meant by her statement!
She was talking about the fact that back then after Jon F. Kennedy was shot they told Robert not to run for office because they were scared that someone would hurt him, or try to shot him. He was a person like Hillary that just because people told him to get out of the race and not to try to win the Presidency that he would do it. BUT HE WOULD NOT! He went on and campaigned and was going to win but a ass hole shot him which ended his possiblity of being one of this country's Presidents.
That is what Hillary was stating in her statement. Like I said I know I was growing up at the time I witnessed Robert Kennedy's campaigning and when he was shot.
So before you all make comments about things you really do not understand you should really read up on History and find out what you are about to comment on.
Hillary knows of what she speaks of and why she states what she states. I will guess there is know one on this Blog that is in there 50's but me!

The strong fighting spirit is a good quality, but one has to finally admit when one is defeated and step out of the ring with at least some dignity left.

This is not good for the election overall. It simply bottlenecks the whole process.

Sung to the tune of The English Beat's Stan Down Margret...

Stand down Hillary!
Stand down please!
Stand down Hillary!

even if you accept her clarification that she was merely mentioning that those previous primaries were still contested well into June, her argument makes no sense. The California primary was in June, not February in those years and the nomination was truly up for grabs unlike now.

Veiled threats from Hillary eh? Now this is getting interesting! America sure has a short collecitive memory. Remember the infamous Clinton death list?

What an evil, hate-provoking comment. Hillary, you certainly are doing a splendid job of making people like myself despise you. Obama would be better off choosing Spiro Agnew as VP than you.

The very reason Obama should never pick her for VP. It's time someone helped her pack up and go home. This is so far over the line she should be ashamed, if she had any. Good reason to pick Edwards for VP, the powers that be hate him more than Obama. Talking about things like assassinations is incredibly stupid.

What an embarrassment to the Democratic Party.

I would expect this from an Arkansas racist but not... oh, wait -- she is an Arkansas racist.

I understand what happened with the RFK assassination, just because I wasn't there doesn't mean I can't comprehend it. People are telling Hillary to drop out not Obama. Furthermore I understand PTSD and Hillary has got it. She is not right in the head and it isn't her fault. When you are cheated on; with the whole world watching it's gotta have a devastating effect on your sanity.

malt, there's no doubt that you probably are the only person in the over 50 crowd on this thread. However, I don't follow your argument. After calling us young and stupid, you go on to defend Hillary's statement with such grammatical gems as:

"they told Robert not to run for office because they were scared that someone would hurt him, or try to shot him."

and..."He was a person like Hillary that just because people told him to get out of the race and not to try to win the Presidency that he would do it."

Hilarious as it is, it's all nonsense.

Hillary's insinuation that her unwillingness to shut down her hopeless campaign and the courage RFK displayed in refusing to bow in the face of death are kind of the same thing--is ludicrous. I don't believe that she is stupid enough to imply that Obama might be assassinated by invoking the Kennedy name but she still should have seen the backlash that would ensue. She is desperate and her statements are beginning to reflect that sentiment.

Spiro Agnew: one of the best AND worst names in American political history.

ha!

forget political correctness...

what a stupid bitch!!

what happened to you?
you were such a promising young woman...

*sigh* so longwinded, blah blah blah, if you're not going to make an intelligent and relevant argument then shut the hell up, nobody cares if you cant stand obama or clinton, I would venture to say that the good majority of comments made about this political race have been pointless remarks that ignorant people make because they arbitrarily chose a side just to feel like they're involved and opinionated. I say we should stick to the issues and not pick apart every little damn thing. Let's act like adults people.

that's enough Hilary

How low can she go,
How low can she go.

She's in the limbo contest of her life...

furthermore..i was actually a supporter of both Hilary and Obama and would gladly have seen either in office, but Hilary's shenanigans have turned me completely off and every day I wonder how on earth she will be able to do outdo the last.

LOL pwdrski

yup thats what Im talking about...

maltesetitan, you are not the only one over 50. I was devastated when RFK and MLK were assassinated. My take on Senator Clinton's comments were that she was trying to get across that she is not the first politician to campaign into June.
Many good, well thought out opinions on this blog. The young people continually surprise and inspire me. I'm glad for the passionate ones, even the ones that give such short answers. It shows they care. We give each other voice.

yea maltesetitan, "you are all stupid.....a asshole...try to shot him..." haha yea with age comes intelligence, hah..
