Clintons non-apology apology.

I have been pretty careful to reiterate that I don't hate Hillary Clinton. But I can tell you one of the things that I intensely dislike about her is that she has some sort of issue that makes it absolutely impossible for her to truly apologize. Ever. No weasel, no ifs. No spin.

"I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and in particular the Kennedy family was in any way offensive. I certainly had no intention of that whatsoever," the former first lady said.

IF (and I'm not saying they WERE, but IF) my references offended (YOU) then I'm sorry (that YOU were offended). Classic.

If she had just said, you know what I blew that one. I didn't fully think through the implications of what I was saying, and I definitely apologize for that. I would be golden. Seriously I would be like, "well...fair play to Senator Clinton!"

But of course that wasn't going to happen.

2) She did nothing wrong.

Admitted your candidate had made any mistakes, did anything wrong, or was anything other than pure as the driven snow.

See, I have done that - many times. Especially since Obama was not my first choice. I've never seen you do anything other than shill without anything resembling critical thought.

Plenty of good thoughtful Clinton supporters out there - you aint one of em.

But not automatically. Only because she's kind of an asshole.

If anything I'm about to say is OFFENSIVE to you, then I'm sorry you're such a hypersensitive weenie.

I once had a boss who told me it was my job to take responsibility for his mistakes. At first I hated it, then I realized that I could drive him insane that way, by apologizing for all the stupid shit he did and wasn't even aware of. Heh heh. It was very liberating.

Hillary should really try it sometime.

There was nothing offensive in what Hillary said. But you thin-skinned, paranoid, "how do we stop the bitch?" Obama supporters never miss a chance to feign outrage, do you?

So don't claim what she said WAS offensive unless you read minds. Because it wasn't.

Or at least it wasn't one-tenth as offensive as some of you Obamatrons are.

and that that's a legitimate reason to stay in the race. Nothing offensive about apologizing to the Kennedys, completely missing the reason for the offense. And sorry, but we're talking about the statements of a CANDIDATE, not her supporters.

Since the stories gone global, carried in international media. It was a thoughtless remark that has obviously offended a great many people.

I think we have figured that out quite successfully, don't you agree? She seems pretty much at a dead end to everyone but you and her.:rofl:

Just check my post history!

the Kennedy family. She didn't offer a non-apology apology to Obama and his family. Similar to her non-apology apology for her IWR vote or her mis-spoken non-lie lie about sniper fire or her not-promoting promotion of mcCain's qualifications over a Dem's or her non-endorsement endorsement of fox news and karl rove as legitimate news sources.

I was pissed off at first. But after I watched the video like 5 times, I'm starting to think that she really didn't mean it that way. (She still didn't have to say "assassinated" though) I mean why in the hell would she bring up Obama's chance of getting killed? On video, on purpose?

I'm now more upset about apology. "I regret if people were upset" means I didn't do anything wrong. Everybody makes mistakes, couldn't she just say she made a mistake?

she had nothing to apologize for.

la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

I can't imagine why they'd post that headline.

Here's another NY Paper


And the NY Times is no kinder.. perhaps they should withdraw their endorsement

newspaper headline are. :eyes:


You tell me how the New York Times is "no kinder."

Please.

The headline reads that her reference has caused an uproar which is true and it's a fair way of wording it.

As opposed to your tabloids.

Characterize it however you wish.

headlines.

But I understand why you moved to the editorial article since I pinned you into a corner with your false statement that the NYT headline wasn't any kinder.

Rupert Murdoch.

Gotta love those strange bedfellows. We know Bill sure does.

persuade him to print that kind tabloid headline in the Post. :sarcasm:

:sarcasm:

Shrillary deserves what she got from her 'friend' Murdoch. After all, if get in bed with snakes, you get bitten, stupid!

This is her just reward for her winning at all costs and by any means strategy. Karma is a fucking bitch just like HRC!

"fucking bitch."

You're furious. lol

You lost the second you stumbled into the name-calling sewer.

the fact that whole Shrillary-Murdoch love fest blew up in her face.

Ding, dong... serves the evil witch right

Rarely do you hear "I'm sorry I did (or said) that." It's always "I'm sorry if anyone was offended by what I said (or did)." It transfers some of the blame to the listener.

Exhibit B: her craven vote for IWR... not that an apology can erase all the death, destruction and devastation but she could apologize for being WRONG, for not listening to Byrd or Kennedy or Feingold or Boxer on that vote!
