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.

WOW, now we know why Shrillary keeps hanging on.......... I was not a fan of OpChaos but I have to admit, Mr. Limbaugh, that keeping the Hildebeast around for this long pays dividends.
So is she longing for something so terrible to happen to Obama or is she merely “referencing” the assassination to say that “bad things happen to good people” so let’s not wrap this up before the convention??
OR, is it a veiled threat to Obama...... any way you read it, Hillary has really stepped in the weasel dung with her own party...... I doubt that too many party Superdelegates are going to be happy about having her in the race too much longer.
“Ted Kennedy comes out for Obama and suddenly has a brain tumor”
VERRRRRY INTERESTING!!
Dead cat bounce again........

And to think she’s a major candidate for President.
This can't be good for anything.
I kept trying to make that point on the threads that discussed Kennedy’s diagnosis earlier in the week, but my post got pulled. I didn’t say anything bad about Kennedy, but I think it’s a valid observation.
"You're living proof that California isn't the only place with fruits and nuts!
This Democrat Caucus is now adjourned..."
Oh sure, she’s really sorry, sorry that she got her fat freakin azz called on to the carpet of public opinion, which would seem to be universal disgust with an already disgusting excuse for a human being.
You think Bill Richardson is getting a little nervous about this time?
LOL....the DNC will be publishing the "Clinton Death List," and handing them out at their convention.
I’ve been wondering if that is what she has up her sleeve. I wasn’t aware that their hit squad still existed but I guess it still does.
Hillary wasn’t the first to suggest it.

On “Hardball” this afternoon, Prissy Chrissy played the clip of her making the statement. She didn’t just blurt it out - she made the reference to RFK’s assassination in a very calm, deliberate manner.
Looks like she said the same thing. very good. Thats why I like Freepers.
Wha? Between her internal sabotage for 2012 and McCain's subsequent impetus to pick Jindal, we'd win a 300+ EV, and shock with downticket strength.
over on dummie underground, they are ripping hellary a new one ! this is too funny !
“I’ve been wondering if that is what she has up her sleeve. I wasn’t aware that their hit squad still existed but I guess it still does.”
I’ll say it again: If Hitlery had the power of the presidency and could get away with it, she would make Stalin and Hitler look like Boy Scouts.
