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.

And when was Vince Foster assassinated?

July 20, 1993.

Ironically, it was the six-month marker of Clinton's term in office, the 24th anniversary of Neil Armstrong's arrival on the moon, and the 49th anniversary of the unsuccessful assassination attempt on Hitler led by Klaus von Stauffenberg.

Complete meltdown on DU. Go to the “primary” forum. Make sure you have popcorn.

It has recently been confirmed that the man who performed the as-yet-unreleased autopsy is none other than Dr. James C. Beyer, who has a record of concealing homicides behind a ruling of suicide. Kenneth Starr’s “suicidologist” Dr. Alan L. Berman has waded in again and, as he did in the Foster death, ruled it “100% certain that this is a suicide and can be nothing else”.

She really screwed up this time, whether planned or not. She can’t get away from this one, Clinton or not.

It’s heart-breaking to know that people have sacrificed, bled and died so that this nation could continue for their children and for complete strangers. And then a presidential candidate says something easily interpreted to be a threat or, at the very least, a desire for something dire enough to happen that would force another candidate to quit.

If that doesn’t make one cry, I don’t know what would.

If this is true, just proves she is truly a terribly evil deranged psychopathic moron.

Would agree, except for the "moron" part.

Those of us who know her history knew about the "evil deranged psychopathic" business a long time ago. What happened today used to be called a "Freudian slip."

I can't wait to see how this plays out in the main stream media...

Please don't hold your breath. They'll first try to ignore it. Then if they can't get away with that, they'll say she didn't mean any harm, but merely misspoke because she was exhausted from all her campaigning.

“She doesn’t know what she is saying.”

No, she doesn’t know she is saying what she is thinking.

...you know that there are those in the Obama camp who will jump on this remark.

Doubt they'll make a big public issue out of this. They'll merely accept her apology and move on. (If they were smart, they might ask for more Secret Service protection behind the scenes.)

Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June

Interestingly enough, John McCain was doing time in The Hanoi Hilton at the same time.

This is a bunch of nothing. She should not have apologized. It was a good point. Why drop out until he has actually won the thing? Even then, what's the harm of staying as long as she plays according to the rules? It is anti-republic to push candidates out of races before they want to leave. I can't believe so many people favor the bully road. Unity schmunity. Everyone benefits from long races and lots of debate.

America is broken.

Did anyone actually watch the video of her comments? She is being treated like a Republican. Her comment was nothing more than no one knows the future.

The fact that this is on her mind as a reason to stay in it doesn’t sit well.

“My nightmare scenario is McCain picks her to be VP in order to pull in all her voters. “It’s a new Republican party.” i just threw up a little.”

I’ve had that same nightmare...haven’t puked yet though.

“The Kennedys have been much on my mind in the last days because of Senator 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.”

I've read this statement a few times today and it finally hit me. Hillary further proves how despicable she is by using a man with a brain tumor for an excuse. Wow.

It means nothing more than she wants to stay in the race as long as she can. To scandalize this is to have an agenda and to be willing to lie to acheive it. History is history. Why is she bad for citing history? There is nothing in what she said that implied she was hoping it happened, would help it happen, thought there was a greater chance it would happen to Obama....nothing! Before that comment she mentioned billy boy didn't have the nomination sewed up until the middle of June. Anything can happen. That was her only point.

This bugs me because it reminds me of our own primary. Where is the respect for the rules of engagement and the will of the people, including the time it takes to get every state's opinion on the candidates?

I suppose you are discounting the possibility of a Freudian slip on her part. Could be unwise. Remember that she does have a history of being involved in, at the very least, a cover up of a murder - the rubout of her erstwhile law partner and reputed past paramour, Vince Foster!!!
