The Responsibility of High Powered Clinton Supporters
It is now clear that the right thing for them to do is to reject and denounce Hillary's comments. HIllary supporters will not listen to any Obama supporters or pundits who they think are in the tank for Obama. Therefore as leaders the Senators and high profile supporters must speak out to end this abomination.

I have read many posts trying to defend or clarify Clintons words and this is disturbing. When you can rationalize the implication of assissination, when you can convince yourself that the comments were benign then something has gone wrong with your deductive reasoning. Had this been Karl Rove making the statement the outcry would have been deafening. Yet Hillary makes a gross analogy and the Clinton fans jump to her defense?????

Therefore the only answer is for swift and total rejection by her staunchest surrogates. This is the only way for the campaign to end as all logical and rational thought has left the race.

1. All those who were close to these remarks say they were benign.
Robert Kennedy Jr., the interviewer etc. Why must you be offended if those closest weren't? You are trying to hurt Clinton, that is your only goal.

2. She is the only one hurting herself. Again you need this ended for you because
you can not pull the plug. That is usually why people choose someone who is not emotionally vested to pull the plug when there is only a pulse left and nothing else. She needs to go and those closest to her still think she is coming out of the political coma.

5. Your mistaken logic
is to not see the truth, that it is OBAMA who should be most offended by these comments. Hillary's non-apology 'apology' didn't even address this.

4. Historian David Brinkley indicated she has no choice but to withdraw, immediately.
Of course, that would require an iota of insight and integrity, and clearly Hillary has a paucity of those attributes.

8. I don't have cable, did he say this on TV somewhere, or has he written something?
I'd love to be able to read his remarks, if they are written form somewhere. My Flintstones-era computer is not capable of playing audio or video.

Thanks for your post, and thanks for any help you could give as to where and when he made his remarks.

10. What are high profile Hillary whales like Richard Gere doing?
This is embarrassing stuff to be associated with.
Where is everyone? Hiding?
