I hate it when the idiot media is the idiot media on behalf of any candidate, and that’s what they’re doing here on behalf of Hussein Obama.
Hillary CLEARLY was talking about how long candidates have continued to campaign in the primary season. She’s right — Kennedy was campaigning late into the primary season when it was cut short by his assassination.
It’s history. Read it.
I can’t stand Clinton.
But I hate the media more.
It’s just like their repeatedly wording reports this week as if John Hagee were McCain’sPastor. He is not now, nor has he ever been, John McCain’s pastor.
xzins I agree with you 100%. This was not even a gaff, it was simply a statement that by the time Bobby Kennedy had been assassinated in California after winning the California Primary, the primary season was still going. Kennedy's last public words were "And now its on to Chicago, and let's win there."
As much as I can't stand Clinton, she is really being maligned by the media on this issue. This is not evidence of Clinton's evil mind, it is evidence of the intense media campaign to do everything in their power to prop up this media created idol Barak HUSSEIN Obama and pawn him off on the American people as the Political Messiah for CHANGE.
I first heard that comment just as I turned on the radio someone on the radio said, "You're not going to believe what Hillary Clinton just said" and then they ran the clip. I listened to it and I was still waiting for her to say something horridly offensive when the clip suddenly stopped and the person on the radio said, "Can you believe that?" My reaction was "What did she say" What did I miss?" and then the radio person when into a tizzy about how awful it was to mention the Bobby Kennedy assasination in the middle of a campaign.
Frankly I simply can't believe the media firestorm. I suspect I might have said the same thing. Why is it suddenly a major political crime to mention Bobby Kennedy's assassination? What she was commenting on was simply a fact of history and she was using it to show that the campaign is not over, it is not even June for crying out loud.
The only thing I can say is that Hillary is getting a taste of her own medicine. Those who live by the soundbite will die by the soundbite. This may spell the end of her career. But this was an innocuous statement. I would have preferred her career end for some other reason, like that the American People would come to their collective senses and realize these Socialists are trying to destroy the America we grew up in.

Someone on LP noticed that back then the process wasn't so front-loaded. She mentions CA in June. Well, now, CA has already voted.
She's toast. It's just so low-class to bring up death as a pathway to ones goals.
