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.

Not even Rush’s Operation Chao can keep her candidacy alive after this.

Her associates do tend to have rather weird suicides/deaths...

I figured she'd sink as low as anybody could go in order to try and beat Obama, but this was much much lower than I could have imagined.

It's a good thing she won't be running against McCain - She'd probably take him down quicker than Karl Rove did in 2000.

What other historical events does Hillary want to reference right now? I suspect she’s thinking of Aaron Burr vs. Alexander Hamilton.....

She’d like to challenge Obama to a showdown, mano-a-mano, may the best man come away alive and the other, well, we know what happened to Hamilton (who truly was the better man of course).

Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June......by a Muslim!

Actually, no. Sirhan Sirhan was a Palestinian "Christian."

Look, I apologize for being so crass. I have listened to Rush since I was 19 when I heard him defending Reagan. Living in Seattle I never heard anyone defend Reagan so I listened for awhile and was hooked. He was defending my beliefs and I loved it. I am now 36 and listen when I can but I thought Operation Chaos was stupid and I voted for Obama but I see he was right because this is destroying the Dem party and Hillary has been digging up dirt that McCain would never have thrown out.

Rush doesn't need money, he does what he does because he loves America. Rush is set for life, he could just retire and hang out with the Dem elite and drink Scotch like our Republican Senators do after a good day of "compromising" but he doesn't.

Too late for that...she just got re-elected two years ago.

How well I know but I was referring to her future prospects praying people's memories don't fade.

Hey thanks, I appreciate it. And I’ve been called worse!

During the impeachment fiasco, I would try to make my outside appointments coincide with the Rush program, so I could listen to a few snippets in the car. He was/is the greatest.

I know he isn’t thinking about the money or anything else. It just disappoints me so much that he isn’t using frontal attack against the enemy instead of the dangerous strategy he’s created.

There will be no one more happy about it if I am proved completely wrong and Rush’s strategy is the catalyst to destroy the Clinton’s evil political lives once and for all.

If anyone can do it, Rush can.

"O my God, I just thought of this, she’s just taken herself out of the VP spot! We may be done with the Clinton’s! Happy now. Mood swing? Realization swing!"

So it's true Prozac comes in a Coffeemate flavor nowadays?

Ten paces, turn, and fire? With Algore officiating?

Not a good idea. Barry plays too much basketball. Of course, on the other hand, Hillary might double-count a step ...

"I watched the video and it sounds worse when you hear her say it."

Maybe, but not "a career-ender" -- which believe me, I would be rooting for!

I do think that the Bobby Kennedy assassination was a really bizarre thing to bring up out of nowhere -- and she could have said it better, but I do think that the fact that "Kennedy was still campaigning in June" is what she was referring to.

To turn the remark into the "threat to Obama" that not a few here alluded to, requires more gymnastics than even I can justify -- and that's going some!

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

Beside Rush, I believe the biggest offender has been Foxnews with Hannity dutifully reporting the dirt spoonfed to him by Sydney Blumenthal.

Knowing how the Clintons play to win I was fearful they might succeed however today she just may have cooked her goose. I hope the spineless wonders who call themselves Super Delegates finally put an end to this charade and do it before the May 31st decision or no later than June 4th. If they continue to straddle the fence, she will steal the nomination from Obama.

>>>>Is she suggesting her own nuclear option for next month ?

This is a cold woman who dies nothing without calculating its effect.

Call for Obama's resignation? Why else would she raise the issue?

Well, I think Hillary is done in that her going nuclear on Fl and MI being fully seated after the last primary is highly unlikely after these comments. Superdelegates will put Obama over the top after Montana and South Dakota and I don’t think Hillary will be able to take it to the convention now.

=(
