(CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton said Sunday some people are using her controversial reference to Robert F. Kennedy's assassination to suggest that she meant something "completely unthinkable."
Her campaign also accused the rival Obama campaign of "inflaming" the situation and purposely taking her words out of context. But the Obama campaign said it was not trying to "stir the issue up."

Hell, Obama is so damned full of himself - that EVERYTHING is about him....
Obama is so over his head in the race - that America is at great risk of his election......
A fool elected by fools...
I forgot, it is duck season.
.."just kiddin Barracki"....*cackle cackle cackle*
No Hillary fan, however let’s be fair. The statement sure makes a good sound bite. Yet the context in which it was delivered surrounds a question regarding why she was still in the race. She pointed out that the dems were still trying to determine the Nominee as late as June 92 as well as in 68. The reference to RFK was to jog memories that indeed he was still running as a candidate in June 68 and not the nominee. It was a point of reference only. No doubt poorly worded considering the political climate. Let her own party destroy her over this. They don’t need out help.
In a taped meeting with the editorial board of the Argus-Leader newspaper in Sioux Falls, S.D., Clinton said: "My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California."
She brought it up. What a cheap way to get headlines, and even more air time in the hopes everyone'll want to cover her, so she can divert the subject and present herself as "presidential".
Can you just imagine what she'd say for "press attention" were she President? Egads, sitting with Israel and Palestinians making some off the cuff, casual comment reference the Holocaust, and then asserting everyone's taking HER out of context??
sheez.
Right. She's never called to account fort her behaviors, but by golly gee, is she gonna make Americans PAY for accountability. Especially if they are conservative and/or Republican. "Those greedy evil Corporations..." etc. etc. etc.
Nonetheless, I see also the media bending over backwards to "publicize" Hillary's clarifications.
The whole thing would be hilarious if it weren't so pitiful. Her remark surely meant nothing, but it had to be spun so as to make a deposit of "righteous indignation" into obama's public-personna account.
And pardon freaking me, but why does that bozo get special Secret Service attention? It's as if he's been annointed already. And a piece in WAPO that found its way into today's NYPost went on and on telling us about our collective "fear" of an assassination. Excuse me?
Here's another thing Obama personnifies: that it's not about ensuring "equal opportunity," it's about creating a privileged class.
And to that, I say, "pshaw!" (you can quote me).
Both of them. Hillery , everyone knows is rotten, and the why of it. Few know how rotten Obama is because the media will not print the truth about him: Kenya, August 2006, Obama campaigned for a Muslim relative (Odinga) who ALMOST took over Kenya in order to convert Kenya into a Muslim nation, then having lost the Kenyan election of 2007, Odinga's Orange Party committed genocide, in one instance burning a whole church full of Kikuyu. This is part of Obamas neo colonialist black nationalist power philosophy at work.One shudders to think what America has in store if Obama were to be elected POTUS. To tell the truth I would take Hillary any day over Obama.
Hillery is at least accurate , if rotten. There are hundreds of Kenyans of the Kikuyu tribe who would love to see Obama offed.Not to mention the Muslim extremists who have likely issued a fatwa for his death because of Obamas apostasy.
But so much for Hillery being Obamas running mate. Not likley now.
She's studied law. She knew exactly what she was saying and to what purpose. This was no mere "slip of the tongue" or attempt to "jog memories". And it was the way she brought it up. And left it all hanging.
Now she wants to play as The Bad Seed, declaring she has no idea whatever happened to the missing tap shoe?
And Mark David Chapman was really a Rolling Stones fan.
What, IMHO, is really going on? Obama/Hillary=TweedleDee and TweedleDum. The MSM thinks its the Looking Glass pronouncing their own statement upon what it thinks of Americans.
Chance was a simple, honest man.
True. But while I don’t think Barack is an honest man, his campaign is run as tho he is Chaunce the Gardener. The swooning over ridiculous statements he makes, which while sounding more like something uttered at a pep rally, is treated as tho it contains business/political acumen. No wonder Michelle tells him what to say... “Say nothing nicely - you’ll win in a slam, Americans are so stupid and ignorant and because we who’ve run Pub Ed for 30+ years have lain the groundwork for non-critical thinking skills. You’ll have this election in a snap. Just act like you walk on water! Talk about the seasons, trees, and the like and they’ll assume you are imparting a great wisdom about the economy!”
I heard the whole clip. The statement was not particularly alarming when heard in context of a response. No long pauses of disbelief from the reporter. I know Clinton can be calculating, but if she's so clever why make such a stupid statement? The Dems are simply feigning indignation to get her out of the race. Read my earlier blather and you'll see I didn't say "slip of the tongue". It was exactly what she was thinking. Just a poorly used reference in time, nothing more.
too late. This is the final curtain for her. Thank GOD for that.
