BRANDON, South Dakota (CNN) – Hillary Clinton said Friday she regretted comments that evoked the June 1968 assassination of Robert Kennedy as part of her explanation for why she was staying in the presidential race late into the primary season.
"Earlier today, I was discussing the Democratic primary history and in the course of that discussion mentioned the campaigns that both my husband and Senator Kennedy waged in California in June in 1992 and 1968, and I was referencing those to make the point that we have had nominating primary contests that go into June. That's an historic fact,” she told reporters.
“The Kennedys have been much on my mind in the last days because of Senator [Ted] Kennedy, and I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and particularly for the Kennedy family was in any way offensive. I certainly had no intention of that whatsoever,” she added.

Even Morris can get it right once in awhile.
I didn't read it that way. I will give her the benefit of the doubt on this. I don't need to read between the lines to know that Hillary is an evil malignant political force. I would loathe the day that Hillary would be elected president. On the other hand, she is a thousand times better than Obama. We survived 8 years of Clinton. I do not believe we can survive 8 weeks with Obama.
Hillary is a lying sociopath. She has murder on her mind — she’s mentioned the RFK assassination several times this year. We can only hope she doesn’t try to do Obama in before this election or the next one.
You can be 100 per cent sure that the people surrounding her have made racial jokes and brought up the hope of assassination, and she has just reflected her dark soul out onto America.
Does anybody still believe that these Clinton elites care anything about the people of this country or the United States itself?
I'm just glad that the African Americans who were so deluded by old Bill get to see what the rest of us saw all along. They will be anything you want them to be, and you had better not cross them.
As some of you know, I personally have been praying every time I see her on tv, that the Lord does not let her become president of this country, but that He give us a man after His own heart. I have wondered why it's taking so long, but it's all beginning to make sense. Pray for our country, pray without ceasing. The Lord is good.
EXACTLY! And a perfect word illustration.

By the grace of God, most clouds have a silver lining (or at least a cleansing shower.)
Genesis 18:22
And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
18:23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
18:24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
18:25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
18:26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
18:27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
18:28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
18:29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
18:30 And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
18:31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.
18:32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
18:33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
They see Obama's skin color and compare it to the skin color of his opponent. If Obama was white, Hillary would have carried 90% of the Black vote.
Somewhere someone may be reaching for a copy of “Catcher in the Rye.”
lol, nashville
Well I can’t begin to speak for A-A’s, but that is kind of the point. She would run as the 2nd “black” president and they would buy into it. This time they can see the greed and the ruthlessness in all its naked unglory.
All in all, it’s been a very creepy ride in the passenger seat of the Clinton family car.
During Clinton’s presidency, Hillary only traveled by air if Chelsea went along. Now we see old Bill traveling with chelsea, lol
By and large they only see what they want to see.
If Clinton's opponent had been white, this would not be a story.
Not at all.

Then thank God he’s only half-white
I pray the same, silverlings. Even if the man who gets in there at first doesn’t have God’s own heart, I know that God is more than able to change that. In fact, that was part of a prophecy I read a few months back. God will have His way no matter who gets in. Remember my tagline, smile.
Amen Mary
[... Hillary intends to be our “leader”
instead of our “representative.” ..]
Brilliant thought. Brilliant post.

Sorry Dr. E. I could not finish watching that bit by Olberman. It was so over the top as to make me ill. Hillary's comment was nothing more than a Freudian slip. Olberman's comments, however, were vile and despicable and intentionally so.
To any objective viewer, Olberman's constant railing about the "assassination" was hypocritical to the point of being ludicrous. Hillary mentioned it once in passing. Olberman must have used the term a hundred times in less than a minute. I lost count before I had to shut it off.
