This thread is for Hillary apologists to post their explanations of how
what she said about the RFK assassination is perfectly acceptable, and anybody who speaks ill of her or her remark is only showing their own antifeminist bias.

Honi soit qui mal y pense, after all

Claims the statement amounts to a call for assassination to be committed on her behalf are grotesquely over-blown.

It was a very stupid thing to say, the most tin-eared statement anyone has managed this year so far.

5. I didn't see it as Clinton advocating
assassination and anyone who claims she did is deluded. The subtext to me was, "Hey, I have to stay in the race, since I could luck out and Obama will be assassinated".

7. Did you ever think that "The Clinton's" know something WE DON'T
about Assissinations? Remember...they served for 8 YEARS...and had access to more than the Chimperor has allowed even the US Congress to have in access to information.

Either Hillary is playing us for "fools" that we will just "think...she knows somethng we don't" (which most here on DU these days would believe...that she's "playing us for fools"....BUT (GASP) what if the Clintons REALLY KNOW SOMETHING...that we Progressives have only been able to "parse out for years" in our "Underground" reading Robert Parry, Mad Cow and the New Yorker's Sy Hersh and a few others about WHAT WE ARE REALLY FACED WITH! :shrug:

Whatever...either she knows or she doesn't. But what if she knows something we don't know? And, that's why she get's up every morning...puts on her makeup and rolls out to slog on?

I'm an Obama Supporter...but a reluctant one...because I don't feel comfortable that he isn't the NEW BILL/DEM who will be another Guardian for the Shadow Govt." Just saying...

3. the political filter on her furnace needs to be replaced
so much hot air has been pushed through in this campaign that it's worn out.

she meant that other nomination races have gone into june.

its not PERFECTLY acceptable, it's an enormous verbal gaffe by a fallable human being who doesn't want her opponent assassinated. it is FORGIVEABLE.

So...here's what I just posted...that got no interest on DU...but I only post what I'm thinking is something others might want to think about.

So...I'll throw it out here, for you...since you asked for opinions:

I wouldn't dismiss the NYPOST article on Obama having problems

The possibility of some "lone RW Shooter" going after Obama is very much diminished by the Secret Service who learned from the JFK Assassination and through Reagan and Beyond...they seem to know exactly how to pin point some "would be assasinator" in the crowd or on the road or in the Plane.

Much has been done with "electronic surveillance methods" that we (the Public) are not aware of and won't be made aware of...so Obama is probably safe because some "Drone will come outta the sky" and bomb to smithereens anyone trying to go at him, if a savvy "SS AGENT" doesn't manage to blow away the perp before that's necessary.

BUT...the fact that Dems need a "back up" in the event of some other event..(like Repugs managing to do another Swift Boat)...but on MASSIVE SCALE" that would be far greater than they did with Kerry, is not beyond realm of possibility.

I don't think Hillary/Bill is wrong in thinking this because THEY KNOW...what can happen much better than the rest of us about what can be put against Obama. REMEMBER!!! They served in the WH and had the "RW Kitchen Sink and the Whole House" thrown against them. THEY KNOW! Plus...what "IF" Monica was a PLANT and they KNOW IT?

I would listen to them... :shrug: They've lived through the worst since Watergate of what RW will through at a Democratic Candidate and President.
