My goodness, folks, this Hillary Comment business is starting to become a REAL International Burn Burner right now.

This is moving hard and fast in the Japanese press here.

Here is my synopsis from the Japanese major (conservative) daily Sankei Shimbun, with it's rich and intriguing headine. (below) (and URL link to original Japanese language article). Japanese Middle-of-the-Road and Left-Oriented papers and outlets are also running with it as we speak.

It is already mid-weekend here in Japan—this stuff broke very early Saturday a.m. here—so I have not had the normal number of people to bounce such kinds of questions off of and take a better pulse. I think the reading so far in Japan at least in the media that is covering it, is that SHE MADE ONE HUGE mistake, and in the lesser, cynical, tell-it-like-it-is circulateion press, actually does wish ill to come to Senator Obama so that she can get the nomination. I have seen some kind of references in that context, yes.

Sepuku is probably beyond this hillary creature.

How about falling into a benjo ditch. Might that be a more applicable description? As MaryFromMichigan noted, sepuku would require some sense of honor.

Love the pic doug. What is that “HILL-ZILLA?” LOL!!!!!!

[gogov]

I went to the link you provided. Very interesting. Definately not for the squimish

[MaryFromMichigan]

What a nasty thing to wish upon a benjo ditch.

[Squantos]

Personally I am loyal too conservative values not people who say they are conservative yet perform like a liberal or moderate socialist. Be they someone we chose yesterday by accident or someone we choose tomorrow on purpose if they stray from conservative values we are not obligated to keep supporting them or staying quiet about their performance.

..... Thus the reason I vote on ones record versus ones promises. Anything less is IMHO a risky bet at best. Such as the lesser of two evils concepts we are usually presented during an election. No polidiot is perfect, no polidiot deserves blind silent devotion. Politics has a human element as we all know and is fallible to the nth degree. Constant attention to it’s every act is the effort that must be maintained to preserve our beloved republic and liberty.

Just my opinion of course.........

Stay safe !

The Clinton Chickens are Coming Home to R-R-R-O-O-O-S-T!!!

(and I L-O-V-E it!!!!)

There probably has not been a benjo ditch in now super-modern, second largest economy in the world Japan, for the last 30 years or so. In Myanmar or Haiti or Chad or The Philippines or other third world outposts, maybe, but not in Japan. That was Dad's war (and post-war Occcupation). Long gone.

Hoisted on their own petard of “political correctness.”

[RockinRight]

So if Obama ends up dead in a park in Fairfax County, we know who to blame...

[AmericanInTokyo]

ironic, aint it. get out the popcorn!

[new cruelty]

My money is on “controlled intimidation emitted like a threatening fart”.

[AmericanInTokyo]

which begs the question I now have for people back in the UNITED STATES this Saturday morning...

By the large, how is the African-American community (and quite necessarily, the Obama grassroots supporters)--which has so much hope yet trepidation as it is about Obama's ascendancy, taking such cockeyed statements made by the Hildebeast? They must be pretty livid.

[AmericanInTokyo]

bump and test

[Captain Kirk]

I always said Clinton was the weaker candidate.....though for some reason conservatives, like Rush, have been arguing to the contrary.

I found this comment of interest:

I mean, when someone is trying to drum up reasons to keep their campaign going, why NOT mention assassination? I'm sure everyone would do the same, even if they are too scared to admit it.
