Way to Take Responsibility, There, Senator
Hillary’s egregious fuck-up from Friday?
All Barack Obama’s fault.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign accused Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign of fanning a controversy over her describing the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy late in the 1968 Democratic primary as one reason she is continuing to run for the presidency.
“The Obama campaign … tried to take these words out of context,” Clinton campaign chairman Terence R. McAuliffe said on “Fox News Sunday.” “She was making a point merely about the time line.”
Right. And Gary Dourdan was just holding those drugs for a friend.
If any of you have any remaining questions about what a second Clinton presidency would be like, this should be all the evidence you need that it would be four long years of buck-passing and whining about being The Real Victim Here. In spite of the mountains of evidence to the contrary, Hillary insists that her Surge is Working and that all we really need for her to clinch the nomination is an assassination…or another debate.
ABC News’ Eloise Harper reports: Since the Pennsylvania primary Sen. Hillary Clinton has been calling for a debate with her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama.
She continued her plea in Penuelas, Puerto Rico, standing outside a restaurant while less than 100 people gathered on a dirt walkway. Obama has rebuffed these requests and has instead begun campaigning in states that would be important for him in the general election if he becomes the Democratic presidential nominee.
“I was informed that Univision will sponsor a debate between Sen. Obama and myself about the issues affecting Puerto Rico,” Clinton said. “I accept that invitation. Anytime, anywhere. That is the best way for the people of Puerto Rico to have their questions asked and answered and for the rest of the United States to learn more about Puerto Rico.”
Gosh, you know, I think she’s right. We’ve hardly had any debates during this primary. I still have so many unanswered questions about who would make the best president. We hardly know anything about these candidates. I just don’t feel like I have enough information to make a decision.

Gawd, just go away, woman! I hope she’s very pleased with herself, now that she’s helped to put the assination meme into the MSM the bottomfeeders at FAUX wasted no time expanding on it and getting a good chuckle into the bargain. This is what we’ve come to-make a frivolous comment about mayhem at an airport and you’ll be in custody so fast your feet will barely touch the floor. But go on FAUX and joke about killing a Presidential candidate and nothing but crickets.
*spit*

I read the headline for this over at HuffPo, but couldn’t bring myself to click on it.Do they really think that blaming him is an effective strategy? How do they not see how pathetic this is? When will it end? Arrgghhhh!!!

Thank you TRex for keeping this issue on the front burner. Many bloggers are ignoring it, excusing it, or pointing fingers at Obama supporters. AND it seems to have fallen off the teevee radar.
Her comment was not a “flap” inflamed by Obama, this was not a “gaffe” she made multiple times. This is one seriously fucked up woman who KEEPS making egregious comments and then blaming her opponent! This stalwart feminist KEEPS whining and playing the victim every single time she puts her foot in it. “Those mean old boys they are picking on me!” She has no problem picking up a knife and stabbing Obama with it and twisting it in good every chance she gets.
If you can’t tell, I am seriously furious about this. She not only owes Obama an apology, she owes ME and his millions of supporters one. How many of you dread turning on the teevee for fear of hearing something bad has happened to Obama? Clinton stoked those fears and NO, I will NOT get over it.
The worst part of this whole thing? The fact that a “catastrophic” event is her only path to the nomination and we are expected to believe she didn’t mean what came out of her own filthy, hateful mouth.

I think before she owes anyone an apology, she owes it to Michelle Obama and her two daughters. You know that Mrs. Obama dreads more than anything the thought that someone may try to harm her husband, and the thought of those two beautiful little girls fearing growing up without their dad…
I just can’t believe she went there. And then tries to pin it on everyone else.
Sociopath.

TRex, don’t you know it’s ALL Obama’s fault.

Slow down guys.
McCain famously refused Secret Service protection, calling it wasteful. Wasn’t he trying to lure his opponents into the same recklessness? Could you spare 1/16th of your outrage for him?
Her comment was a fart in a windstorm. Those who are playing it up are doing more to keep the assassination meme alive than HRC ever did. Be real.

Uh, Mitch, John McCain is an old conservative white man, in case you hadn’t noticed. The gun-humping right wingers of this country never shoot their own.
But, nice try.
Oh, and fresh thread:

No, what we are keeping alive is the notion that HRC has lost her mind.
What black Democratic presidential candidate would be lured into refusing SS protection? Do you think Obama is a complete idiot? Be real.
Do you think HRC could spare 1/16 of HER outrage and vitriol for McInsane? Or how about her dismissal of Obama’s supporters as if a Dem doesn’t need them in the general? Could she spare a little outrage for some of McInsane’s insane supporters?

You’re absolutely right about the debates. Hillary Clinton showed time and time again that she is much more well-informed about the issues that face this country than Obama. The reason she was always asked the first questions of the debates was because she would speak immediately to the issue and then offer her solutions. Obama merely sat there and said “Yeah, what she said.” As far as her unfortunate remarks about Bobby Kennedy, she was speaking about the fact that in June of 1968, the primary was still going on when he was shot down. She was not issuing a veiled threat against Obama. You people need to grow up! If Obama by some chance were to win the Presidency, are we going to be constantly subjected to hurt feelings and cries of racism if some of us do not agree with his foreign policy? The outrage and vitriol is emanating directly from the Obama camp.
