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.

Oh, thank goodness, I thought that I was the only one who read it that way. IMO, there has been a complete misinterpretation of her comments. This type of tactic has been repeated over and over again by Obama since the campaign started. I call it the "martyr card", and frankly it's getting old. For the most part, except for messing himself up by jumping too quickly on Bush's appeasement comments, it has worked like a charm for him. When the conventions are over and the real campaigning begins, look for stupidity like this to be aimed at McCain nonstop. Obama is weak on the real issues so he has to jump on headline grabbing idiocy for cover and for sympathy. Unfortunately, the media and the morons who support him eat it up.

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

In point of fact, however, primaries used to be shorter time frames, and elections used to be shorter time frames (simply stated....started later)! "longer primaries" is a strawman at best!

My guess is that only muslims will put this in the ‘martyrdom’ light that you seem to espouse! ;)

Just glanced at drudge... he's not letting it drop. There is a blurb there noting that RFK declared his candidacy on March 16, 1968.
