WHY HILL WON'T DROP OUT: BOBBY KENNEDY WAS ASSASSINATED IN JUNE
nypost.com ^ | May 23, 2008

Posted on 05/23/2008 12:30:59 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

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.

Both Chris Matthews and Wolf Blitzer have shown the video.

But, no worries, Mrs. Clinton issued a statement that she “didn’t intend to offend”. (?!)

Hillary would have to get past the Black Panthers to take out Obama.

Jesse Jackson loaned out his bodyguards??

From DU:
“It’s a legitimate point.
What if everyone were killed but her? We’d be sorry we pushed her out early then, wouldn’t we?”

I fail to see how this is a big deal....

You've got to be kidding!

This was one colossal blunder.

Granted, i think i know what she wanted to convey, but it has taken me several hours of thinking to derive it.. i THINK what she meant was that Bobby Kennedy was still in the race in June - he didn't get out because of timing - he only was forced out by assassination.

What a stupid, stupid thing to say. I see how it is a major big deal - even after I've conjured a plausible explanation.

Stick a fork in her.

Obama found in Fort Marcey Park.

More like "making Obama an offer, he can't refuse"

Come on man! This gets play because the media covered up the Clintons for 8 years and defended them and now this threat to Obama has them quaking. He is also black so her statement reeks of cold bloodedness because the media thinks some white Conservative gun owner is waiting to kill Obama and so is Hillary.

Amazing. She trashres the kennedys while they are down and gives Obamaram shothing to think about all in one phrase.

Ok..who thought of that one? Carville?, McAuliffe?, Grunwald?, Ickes? My money is on either Ickes or Sid “Vicious” Blumenthal.

She may be able to spin it, but she'll not erase it.

That would be fine with me! I think this is a perfect example of what happens when she goes off her script. She has a tin ear--no sense of how what she says sounds to her audience. Any time she doesn't keep to her carefully prepared, rigidly rehearsed script, she says something that sounds fine to her but causes her handlers to cringe.

HEY! Go easy on her, dodging sniper fire has the tendency to make one paranoid

In case you’ve never read my Hillary Clinton posts (like I give a sh*t if you haven’t), the Clintons are by far—and have PROVEN time and time again to be—the greatest domestic enemies this nation has ever had to face. The dem party is STILL very much the Clinton party, NOT the Obama party.

Obama is the best chance we have to destroy the Clinton mafia machine once and for all. His candidacy would take care of itself in the general election, even up against the very incompetent, dem-smootching John McDole, who would beat Obama.

Therefore, watching FReepers and formerly conservative talkshow hosts defend Hillary Clinton FOR ANY REASON whatsoever since Obama became a legitimate threat, is nauseating. And it is also the height of folly.

The Clintons will ride back in to the WH—thanks to enablers like Rush, yourself, and far too many FReepers.

Sickening.

Sorry you don’t see it that way, madam. Like I said, I couldn’t give a damn what you or any other Clinton enablers think about it.

Oh I have always suspected Lorrie Morgan killed Whitley who was far and above a better singer than that siliconed skank.

Hillary has forgotten the First Rule of Holes.

When you get to the bottom, stop digging.
