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.
THANK GOD!! This may, FINALLY, be the stake pounded through their hearts. I can only hope.
I think this is a shot over the bow.
Is this a telegraphed message from the Clinton war room to Obama?
Vince Foster and many others left in the wake of the Clintons.
The Clintons measure every word the utter. This was not a Hillary slip-up.
AmericanInTokyo - O Genki desu ka? Very much appreciate your perspective from Tokyo!
Off subject, can you give your perspective on what was the Japanese general impression of the Tibet/China conflict/riots/torch protests?
Do Japanese generally agree with the Pelosi’s of the world that China is an ogre in this case? I know some Chinese people who give a different perspective...
I’ve been there twice and love the country. My ex-fiance was from Japan. Jya mata...
Not sure if it's 80%, but they're going absolutely bananas over there - I've never seen so much emotional Hillary-hating at one time before.
To the point of maybe she ought to go out and hire some more bodyguards for Obama just to make sure nothing happens to him, at this point! LOL.
As far as I can tell from the caption on the posted video frame, it says "Hillary Clinton [ ka ri n to n ] [ Hillary ? ] ... Mr. Robert Kennedy [ ro ba- to . ke ne de i ] ( Mr.) [ ga ] regarding ( i.e. regarding Kennedy ) campaign activities middle assassination inadverantly (?) [ sareta koto ni ] mentioned."
Of course consistent with the given translation.
I’m in a weird spot here because I’m going to have to defend Hillary Clinton which I hate to do, but fair is fair. She wasn’t talking about anyone (Obama) being assassinated. She was talking about primaries and how long they used to last. She mentioned her husband right before the RFK comment. Then she mentions that RFK was still campaigning in June when he was assassinated. This is being deliberately misconstrued by the Obamaites and the media in his pocket. In a way I hope it does force her out of the race because I would hate to see her get the nomination or team up with Obama, but I don’t want the outcome to be a rallying around Obama. Maybe we will get the best of both worlds and it will force her out and further divide the Obama and Hillary camps.
Very calculated. She just placed the nuclear option on the table. Obama must have initially said no to a Clinton VP spot. She is now apparently giving him an offer he cannot refuse. That is the way the mob works. And to think it took some people 14 years to learn the truth about the Clintons. If she takes this from Obama, McCain may end up wishing he was back in Nam.
Oreilly was a rerun and Hannity was just a bunch of their old interviews. Everyone is out for the holiday I’m guessing.
There is something distinctly chilling about this, and I do not think it is a slip-of-the-tongue.
It sounds to me like a not-so-veiled death threat.
If I were Obama I would stay out of Arkansas with both feet, permanently.
I've been looking forward to this morning's news cycle. This massive screw-up by Hillary has all the promise and hope of a "little Christmas" this morning...
Here's a link on their board I posted last night. Got marshmallows?
The rats at DUh are frothing at the mouth over it.
RUSH LIMBAUGH TRIUMPHANT?
I'd sure love it if the witch is finally taken down over this...I've been against dragging out her run, however I can't deny that watching her fall apart hasn't been "entertaining".
I just hope she doesn't come back from this one.
Bill may just want to hire a few extra body guards! ; )
And you're absolutely correct. This is an open attempt by the media to bury Hillary alive and "punish" her for having the audacity to continue her campaign against the directives of the DNC leadership.
A fair and measured response wouldn't involve this all out assault and attempt to crush her campaign and completely destroy her political career and as a human being. This is a full blown attempt by the left to tell Hillary who's in charge and they are using all of their media/propaganda powers to let her know. She's being burned at the stake by her own party and by the very people who supported her when they thought she would win. I imagine the look on her face the past 12 hours must resemble the one Caesar had on his when he uttered "Et tu, Brutus?"...
Now please excuse me while I help douse out these flames with a few gallons of gas... : D
Anything and everything that might taint negative to the Obama campaign becomes ‘off limits.’
One thread just a few days ago had a growing list of the ‘off limit’ items.
This is a prime example of PC-at-its-best. PC is nothing more than liberal censorship.
Ironically, it was the other Dem candidate who opened this newest ‘can of worms’.

We can add this to the growing list of Things You Can't Say About Obama or Things That Make Obama Whine.
Sen. Obama: "Lay off my wife"
Operation chaos is working!
Cheers!
