Hillary Surrogate: ‘No Parallel’ Between Trump Gun Comment and Hillary Remark on RFK Assassination
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/09/2016 4:04:00 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Late in the 2008 primary season, Hillary Clinton justified her refusal to drop out when it appeared impossible for her to win the nomination by saying “we all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California” during the 1968 primary.

On today’s With All Due Respect, host Mark Halperin asked Hillary surrogate Neera Tanden whether there was a parallel between Hillary’s remark and that of Donald Trump today, who said “Second Amendment people” maybe could do something about a President Hillary trying to abolish the Second Amendment. Predictably, Tanden said there was “absolutely no parallel.” Why? Because Hillary was “talking about a person she had deep respect for.” Right, but on whose possible assassination she was hanging her nomination hopes.

Hillary surrogate denies any parallel between Trump remark on Second Amendment today and Hillary in 2008 citing RFK’s assassination during the 1968 primary as a justification for staying that year’s primary.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

It is exactly the same principle. I’m glad someone found it!

From the article:

“This Insurrectionist would argue that Hillary’s remark was more offensive than Trump’s. Halperin himself recognized that Trump was “clearly kidding,” although it was a topic he should not have been joking about. In contrast, Hillary was dead serious in 2008 when she cited RFK’s assassination as justification for staying in the primary against Obama.”

These wastes are really torquing me off this election.

The thing is ... Trump wasn’t even *implying* assassination while Kerry and Clinton clearly WERE.

The media is trying to this into a false equivalence so that everyone thinks that Trump did the same thing Hillary did in 2008. They aren’t even remotely similar!

In Clinton’s case, Kennedy was gunned down by Sirhan Sirhan. You can’t come to any other conclusion.

In Trump’s case, he was clearly indicating that the NRA would fight back ... it’s only liberal projection that equates his statement to assassination. His entire context implied fighting in a political sense, not the way liberals handle political problems using guns.

I am so frigging sick and tired of these media scumbags. These idiots are convinced that we are stupid and they’re gifted with a clairvoyance to read others minds.

Tell you what media scumbags ... you know who is the first to go once socialism takes over? You people. Virtually all of you talking heads are completely worthless. They’re only going to need one central newsroom and maybe 50-100 “local” stations for their drivel. The rest of you tens of thousands of useful idiots will starve. Open a damn book on socialism and learn you media twits.

All Trump was saying is that for the 2nd Amendment to stay in fact, people who support the 2nd Amendment better do something about it and that is VOTE..for Gods sake only a deranged whack job would think he meant that he wants Clinton dead..absolutely RIDICULOUS but hey its the media who wants to IGNORE a JIHADI TERRORIST attending a Clinton rally, gotta ignore that fact

If Trump wins he should do a fake coup (like the one in Turkey) so he can arrest all these anti-American traitors.

Yes. There are multiple media articles about ‘taking Trump out’ or ‘one can only hope’ or some such. It is Trump supporters that are hit, shot, or nearly run over, and Trump supporters have property damage.
