Hillary's Latest Delusion: It's Obama's Fault

Delusion reigns supreme in the Clinton camp these days. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any stranger, Terry McAuliffe appeared today on Fox News Sunday and blamed the Obama campaign for Hillary’s remarks about Bobby Kennedy. Yes, you read that right, it’s Obama’s fault.

"Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign accused Sen. Barack Obama's campaign of fanning a controversy over her describing the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy late in the 1968 Democratic primary as one reason she is continuing to run for the presidency

The Obama campaign tried to take these words out of context," Clinton campaign chairman Terence R. McAuliffe said on "Fox News Sunday." "She was making a point merely about the time line."

Ah yes, the dreaded out of context. The last refuge of someone trying to defend an indefensible statement. Tell me Terry, exactly what would be the proper context in referring to the assassination of a presidential candidate? Just curious.

And about that time line, I think that was debunked in my earlier post today. Nice try Terry.

"If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. doesn't find offense to it, why is it that everybody else should?" McAuliffe said. "They shouldn't. They ought to take Robert F. Kennedy Jr. -- he did not misinterpret it or misjudge it."

What did you think the Kennedy family would say, Terry? Somebody has to show some class in this train wreck, and it sure isn’t going to be anyone in the Clinton campaign

“She is angry. Not all the time. But most of the time.”

“[Hillary Clinton] is in a perpetual state of suspended anger....”

“Hillary hit him between the eyes. She was angrier than Paul had ever seen her. ‘You f**king Jew bastard!’ she screamed.”

[W]hen White House Counsel... Abner Mikva finally bowed to the law and delivered subpoenaed documents, she and her White House scandal team lashed at him with such a vicious streak of humiliating profanity that he resigned.

“Anyone that stood up... was smashed down and belittled,very personally. [N]ot only would she sort of humiliate you in front of your colleagues or whoever happened to be around, Hillary tended to kind of campaign against people behind their back, and that was certainly my experience.”

The Clinton Years

Longtime Hillary aide Carolyn Huber, who saved Mrs. Clinton’s buns in 1996 with a convenient cover story about how her mysterious Rose Law Firm billing records magically appeared in the White House book room, described the former first lady’s fits of rage to Sheehy as nearly lethal. “The person on the receiving end never gets over it,” Huber remembered, reportedly shivering as she spoke those words.

The rages continued even after Mrs. Clinton took up residence in the White House, where she blew up at a Secret Service agent for declining to carry her bags. When the agent explained that he needed to keep his hands free in order to protect her, she replied, “If you want to remain on this detail, get your f**king ass over here and grab those bags.”

"In a nutshell and generally speaking, the Clintons are obviously both:
psychopathic: (exhibit myriad personality disorders associated with violence, lack of empathy and socially manipulative behavior)
psychotic: (hold grandiose and paranoid delusions) Although psychosis is considered by mainstream psychiatry to be a symptom of severe mental illness, it should be distinguished from the concept of insanity, which is a legal term denoting that a person should not be criminally responsible for his actions.
The Clintons are--and must be held--criminally responsible for all their betrayals, misdeeds and outrages.

Our problem is getting a government with the courage, character and selflessness to nail them."

I assume this is an opinion piece and not a news/analysis piece... but I'd like to turn this around to the author defending Obama... On the Reverend Wright remarks, Obama claimed those soundbites were "taken out of context". To use your quote: "Tell me, exactly what would be the proper context in referring to 'G-D America' and 'America's chickens coming home to roost!' and 'America created the AIDS virus to kill African-Americans!' Please, give us the proper context for understanding Reverend Wright and Barack Obama's worldview on such issues.
