Keith Olbermann makes ghoulish threat at Hillary…where was the outrage then?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/25/keith-olbermanns-idea-for_n_98557.html

Fineman: “Those are the super, super, super delegates who are going to have to decide this."

Olbermann: "Right. Somebody who can take her into a room and only he comes out."

What does that mean? Really, it can only mean one thing: Beating the crap out of Hillary Clinton, to the point where she is physically incapable of of getting up and walking out. At minimum. We know this. We know this because we have all seen movies where people are invited into private places to have "discussions" and the unruly party is, um, dealt with accordingly. It's an unmistakably violent image.

3. That was some time ago.
It was a stupid thing to say, and he got called out on it. Good thing he isn't running for office, that kind of talk kills a campaign.

21. Queen Hillary shot herself in the foot, and then stuck that foot in her mouth.
Sorry she runs such a piss poor, tone-deaf, bankrupt campaign.

You backed a loser.

26. Calm down

My point is that people here won't get as worked up over what a journalist says. There will be outrage, but not as much.

When a person like Hillary, who is running for president, makes assassination comments there will be a lot of outrage. When you're running for president you will be held to a higher standard and rightfully so.

11. Oh come on. It was a fucking analogy - that the superdelegates

were a force to be reckoned with. There is NO parallel to what the Vulture said.

20. I wasn't outraged by it.
Just like the Obama people on this board aren't outraged by Hillary's remarks. They are just pretending to be.

16. Keith should have followed Hillary in apologizing
....to the wrong person, like she did by not referencing Obama himself in her supposed apology over her assassination statement.

Oh for Pete's sake. Talk about grasping at straws...he knew he
mis-spoke (and that was a REAL example of mis-speaking, not a CLAIM of mis-speaking when one has said the same damn thing in several pre-written speeches, as Senator Clinton did with the sniper fire story) and he corrected his statement and he APOLOGIZED (as in, "I'm sorry," not "I regret it IF anyone was offended - which is NOT an apology.)

Senator Clinton FUCKED UP. FACE it. She's toast.

To compare that with KO's verbal gaffe is as ridiculous as Senator Clinton has unfortunately become.

30. Unmistakably?
He couldn't just lock her in? So, no, it can mean more than one thing.

You don't think Hillary could go 10 rounds with any guy? That would be a brave man to go toe to toe with her.
