I hope someone is recording this.
These things have a way of disappearing.
That and the sheeple have short memories.
Everybody who has thought seriously about the Obama candidacy, including me and probably including the Senator himself, have reflected on the horrible possibility that he would be assassinated. One cannot think about Obama, the Kennedy-esque candidate without worrying about his safety.
But we all observe the discipline of not raising the issue in public. We all worry that to do so would be to encourage some maniac to take a shot.
Now Hillary has violated this unstated but heretofore universal taboo and brought up the possibility. That is not to say that she is hoping for a murder.
But it is to say that the possibility is uppermost in her mind and a significant part of her rationale for staying in the race. And, by raising it, she has made it more possible.
I’m a foreigner, so please forgive my ignorance. A few questions arise from this:
1) Can a sitting US President be investigated, charged and convicted for a serious crime? Who does the investigation — presumably the FBI?
2) Has it ever happened before? Short of being impeached and losing the job of POTUS? Have any ex-Presidents done any serious gaol time?
3) Are there any parameters around the granting of Presidential Pardons?
HillBilly is many things — evil, wicked, and butt-ugly being the three that spring to mind. But she is not stupid. I doubt this was a case of mis-speak: she will have had a good reason, and it was deliberate and calculated.
Her mind operates at a depth of Evil that few if any of us well-adjusted folk can properly comprehend.
It is chilling, and yet thoroughly entertaining, to watch from afar.
From somewhere deep in Hillary Clinton’s dark soul, this sick comment issued forth as an invitation to a sleeper cell of 1 or 100 to do whatever was now necessary to get her the nomination. Right now, that old saying about bread on the waters should have special resonance for her.
Important HRC Ping!!!
See Ecclesiastes 11:1 re: bread on the waters...
Stupid is as Stupid does...............

FOR ONCE, OLBERMANN GETS IT RIGHT. THIS IS AN AMAZING RANT ON HILLARY -— http://thepeoplesplatform.blogspot.com/2008/05/olbermann-hillary-assassination-remark.html
Wear protective gear and cover your ears, but they are going nuts in the RAT underground. They are not at all pleased with Hillary — http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x3322367#3322409
I think the Clintons just got scratched off the Obamas’ Christmas card list.
wow... just wow..
ping for later read
I will put into print what everyone is thinking:
Hillary Clinton is a murderer. She has had people killed before. It is her Final Solution for desperate cases.
This is her most desperate case, ever. She will try to figure out a way to have her killer accomplices murder Barak Obama.
It won’t be possible. The Secret Service protection of Barak Obama is unusually tight. Furthermore, she is now on record what her true thoughts are. Barak now knows her soul.
She won’t be vice president. She screwed up bad.
This is one instance where the printed word doesn’t do justice to the intention of the statement. When Hillary spoke she specifically stressed the word “June” to indicate that a candidate staying in till that month is not unprecedented. The two historical examples are her husband and RFK whose campaign ended in assassination.
