WHY HILL WON'T DROP OUT: BOBBY KENNEDY WAS ASSASSINATED IN JUNE

Hillary Clinton is still in the presidential race, she said today, because "historically, it makes no sense" to quit, and added that, "Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June," making an odd comparison between the dead candidate and Barack Obama.

"People have been trying to push me out since Iowa," she said to the Argus Leader's editorial board.

There is a sadness and a general feeling if disgust about all of our national politicians right now.

Some of us rage and rant and others feel disgust and nausea. A tear can be shed for the culture that has passed.

Never suspected Lorrie had him killed, just that she knew a great opportunity when she saw it!

I can’t wait to watch the news tonite. Hee hee. It’ll be Barbecued Hillary for Memorial Day.

Look, I hate her guts and it was a bizarre reference to mention, but in the context she said it, it’s nowhere near as bad as it sounds.

She was talking about the Democratic campaigning historically not being over by now — that her husband previously “didn’t claim victory until after the California primary in June and Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June...” (while still campaigning).

If the Bosnia gaffe didn’t put a stake through the heart of this witch, I doubt that this stupid assassination remark will do it. Because once you hear her words in context, it’s really a tempest in a teapot.

How I hope so!!!

That is the freakin most idiotic post I have ever read on FR. Its submoronic.

[CounterCounterCulture]

Thanks much. I was getting bored watching the other feed and it eventually started getting bogged down with all the viewers.

Dude you rock! Tag line and both the Kilborn and Laughing Bill pics.

If you are double agent it would be great to post that at DU.

I have been banned so many times I gave up.

Thank you, Mr. Wolfson, I take that as a compliment.

Please pass along my best to Harold Ickes and Lanny Davis.

A partial hillary-ous thread from DU:

*shrug* Didnt obama call a reporter “Sweety”?
= Assassination talk is way way beyond nutty
== Nah
=== you’re a f[censored]king idiot
==== “lard butt” - why does Hillary Clinton’s weight bother you so much?
===== You really are a moron seeing as
====== and you’re still an idiot not to see the distinction

Have a good weekend!

I watched the video and it sounds worse when you hear her say it. Notice that you had to put the "while still campaigning" in there in parentheses to get people to see the correlation.

She was talking about campaigning, not assassinations, and she should have said "Bobby Kennedy was still running in June" instead of, "Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June".

Did she go off script.I think not.

[fhayek]

No, No, No. We NEED her to stay in the race. Having Hillary and Obama in the race together has created a veritable Gaffe Olympics. Let's just see what gaffe Obama will offer to top this!

Hey I voted for Obama in the Texas Primary because I thought Rush was wrong and I even went to the Island of Misfit Toys which was the Caucus that night because I wanted the Clintons done. I wanted the Beast to never have a chance but I could see later what Rush was thinking and he was right. Without Chaos Hillary would have been done after Texas and we never would have gotten this glorious bloodbath we have today.

Rush is one of the good guys and always has been.
