Obama supporters are sexist and violent. This comment in moderation penned by a certain Stop Hillary Now is emblematic:

“We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” she said, dismissing calls to drop out.
Hillary is batshit, Liebercrat crazy.
Fuck her with a pitchfork.

I guess typical Obama supporters are incapable of understanding that Hillary cited an historical example in order to illustrate how long the nomination process usually is. I quote Clinton Campaign Communications Director Howard Wolfson:
“She was talking about the length of the race and using the ‘68 election as an example of how long the races in the past have gone — she used her husband’s race in the same vein.”
Why should she withdraw in May when past contents extended into June and up to the convention? And why do Obamabots insist on misinterpreting the comment she uttered during her interview with the Argus Leader’s Editorial Board earlier today? Expect them to swarm around this comment as so many hungry and desperate vultures.
[UPDATES courtesy of Breeze] Hillary issued a clarification of her remarks. I quote it in full, as it is very compelling.
“I was discussing the Democratic primary history and in the course of that discussion mentioned the campaigns of both my husband and Senator (Robert) Kennedy waged in California in June in 1992 and 1968 and I was referencing those to make the point that we have had nomination primary contests that go into June. That’s a historic fact,” she said.
“The Kennedys have been much on my mind the last days because of Senator Kennedy,” she added, referring to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s recent diagnosis of a brain tumor. “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.
“My view is that we have to look to the past to our leaders who have inspired us, give us a lot to live up to, and I’m honored to hold Senator Kennedy’s seat in the United States Senate from the state of New York and have the highest regard for the Kennedy family[.]“
And here is a transcription of her statement as it appeared during her interview with the Editorial Board of the Argus Leader today:
HRC: People have been trying to push me out of this ever since Iowa.
Q: Why?
HRC: I don’t know. I don’t know. I find it curious. Because it is unprecedented in history. I don’t understand it. Between my opponent and his camp and some in the media there has been this urgency to end this. And historically, that makes no sense. So I find it a bit of a mystery.
Q: So you don’t buy the party unity argument?
HRC: I don’t because again I’ve been around long enough.
My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right?
We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it. There’s lots of speculation about why it is.
Q: What is your speculation?
HRC: I don’t know. I find it curious. And I don’t want to attribute motives or strategies to people because I don’t really know, but it’s a historical curiosity to me.

By the way, Stop Hillary Now is also the same user who has posted variations of the following under multiple pseudonyms:
Hilary Supports OBAMA! | dsfjkljlk@jkljklj.net | IP: 98.145.181.16
Hillary will campaign & vote for Obama.
Liebercrats & McCainiacs will vote for an asshole.
Hillary is smarter than you.
Follow her lead, or not.
We’ll win without you.

Sometimes this ostensible representative of feminism exhorts women to cast their votes for Obama, as Hillary has stated that she will support Obama if he is the Democratic nominee. He even claims we are sexist if we do not support the candidate who has exploited misogyny for electoral gain. I quote again:
Hillary supports Obama. | dfsfnne@jldsuiof.net | IP: 98.145.181.16
Hillary wants you to vote for Obama if he’s the nominee.
Why are you disrespecting her?
That’s sexist of you.
Be smart.
Like Hillary.

Be prepared to be hoodwinked and bamboozled, for the Obamabots will penetrate and impale you if you do not yield to their misogynistic pressure. They will also misconstrue your statements.
LOL! Latest poll in GA says Obama gets 35% of the vote in a general election. The obama contention is just as crazy as the bushbots.
Never elected Bush is really milking it for all it’s worth, isn’t he? Yet another trip to Europe on the taxpayer dime coming up in June. He’s a disgrace to the world but still insists on asserting his “importance”. Without a doubt, Bush is the dumbest man surrounded by the most incompetent administration that ever existed.
“Obama supporters are sexist and violent.”
…. and anti-white (the black ones anyways), and anti-Jew, and glassey-eyed, and bamboozled and caught up in the rhetoric of a crooked liar to the point that they have shut off their brains.
OBAMA LISTEN UP - If you are reading this - I’ll never vote for you. Even if Hillary is your VP. She’s too qualified to walk behind you. And don’t bother blaming it on alleged racism on my part .. it’s because of YOUR racism (and empty rhetoric, and lies, and corruption).
You tell em Emily Stickett…. ignoramus!! lol
In the same spirit as my post under the heading “Give Dave Dial some love”, this cherry-picking of comments is ridiculous. I read here just the other day that it was “too bad that Obama didn’t have a brain tumor, instead of Ted Kennedy”.
Please look in the mirror folks….
The problem is people tend to view politics as a game, not understanding they are fucking with national security, whether ours, or say, Israel’s.
Do you think it’s like a movie?
Or don’t you know?
I think you dont have a clue.
I don’t know what you mean, no. I am making an observation that the picking of stupid comments in the latest couple of diaries here is simply a ridiculous tactic — by the way, often used by right-wingers of late to attack HuffPo and Kos and various other blogs (they could certainly use that technique to attack this one. Take a look…). All you have to do to see vile hatred of “the other” is look in the comments here.
And you have moved from that to talking about something else and calling me clueless. Though I’m not trying to cause trouble — just trying to hold up a mirror — the clueless comment is not unexpected. It’s what this blog is about.
agree Emily, I wont vote for him under any circumstances either, and there are millions of us…
Emily,
Your remarks are sick.
Obama is not anti white. He is not anti-Jew. He is not glassy-eyed.
As far as I can tell, you are a racist, hiding behind disgusting lies to justify your refusal to support a black man.
Just to be clear, I am white and I am a Jew. I’m probably even a little glassy-eyed at times. I am more impressed with Obama every time I hear him speak. Your Republican smears are not going to dissuade the millions of people who are going to make Obama their President.
Yes.. Green Eagle, you are inspired every time you hear David Axelrod’s words spoken by Obama, unfortunately Obama’s best lines and most often quoted are not only written by Axelrod (a middle aged white guy and that former Reagan speechwriter), but they’ve been used before by Deval Patrick and some TV character.
Easily duped much?
It’s the man who impresses me, not the words.
In other words, you are not concerned with substance.
Thank you for admitting once again that Obama supporters are low information voters.
Excellent piece
UK New Statesman, Hating Hilary
“History, I suspect, will look back on the past six months as an example of America going through one of its collectively deranged episodes - rather like Prohibition from 1920-33, or McCarthyism some 30 years later. This time it is gloating, unshackled sexism of the ugliest kind. It has been shamelessly peddled by the US media, which - sooner rather than later, I fear - will have to account for their sins. The chief victim has been Senator Hillary Clinton, but the ramifications could be hugely harmful for America and the world.”….read more
http://www.newstatesman.com/north-america/2008/05/obama-clinton-vote-usa-media
Omigod, that’s brutal! I just sent a part of it to CNN, in regards to a statement Gloria Berger made (”I don’t see any sexism or misogyny directed toward Hillary Clinton by the press or anyone. I don’t know what everyone’s talking about.”)
Another quote that should resonate with the people on this blog:
And this:
I for one will remember the sexist media and never forget nor forgive.
Sexism has always been with us — any woman (if she is truthful) has experienced many incidences of sexism. But Obama’s campaign has been deliberately using sexism as a way to market himself.
This isn’t about Political correctness — it is about deliberate hate speech toward the largest segment of this Nation.
I agree that there has been sexism in the media but what has Obama done that has been sexist? I don’t really care which one is the nominee, I just want a democrat, but I’d have to say that Hillary’s unelectable argument is pretty shocking. I just haven’t seen Obama claiming she can’t win because she’s a woman but she is obviously claiming he can’t win because he’s black. And why in God’s holy f’ing name are people not going to vote for the Democrat??? Who cares which one…the country is on a steep cliff and John McCain is not going to pull it back.
It was only a matter of time before the Obama campaign directed their bloggers this way to start pleading unity.
When did Hillary ever say Obama couldn’t win, because he’s black? It’s “obvious” to you but not to anyone else here. If you think Hillary supporters are racist then best run along to The Huffington Post or Daily Kos or TPM.
Thanks for link, fantastic article.
Really lays it out the way it is.
apparently hillary did make the robert kennedy assassination comment in an interview with an SD newspaper. unfortunately, this will dominate the news for the coming days and weeks. cant help her in terms of public opinion
I could tell when I read it what she meant (that campaigns have continued into June) but that won’t stop the media, no.
I find it so distasteful that it was the Obama camp that fired off immediately regarding her comment. It’s like they have no brains at all… anyone reasonable understands her comment. But they look for anything they (and the tingly legged media) can use to trash her.
Considering Robert Kennedy’s son is one of her big supporters, I really doubt that it was meant with any malice… I mean, what in the world could that comment have meant other than the way it was spoken?
Translated for the idiot obama supporters who are already harping on this. She meant that Robert Kennedy was still campaigning in June, when he was shot. How hard is that for the media to figure out, too?
You’re right, though, like the ridiculous media feeding frenzy on a small misstatement about Bosnia, I can see that the Obama assholes will be driving this story. All it will take is a simple statement from RFK, Jr. to shut them up.
Geez.. if ONLY this election was about the issues. sigh
The Obama camp is stupid.
They now have kept Hillary in the news. And she can get a slew of national TV interviews out of this if she wants where she will appear human and also be in the face of America where the Obama people really don’t want her. So the more they push, the better since Hillary actually did nothing wrong and the apology will be accepted by everyone except the clueless Obamabots.
Robert Kennedy was still campaigning in June because the primaries were later in the year then (for instance, California was in mid-June instead of February). Even ignoring the assassination aspect, what she was arguing makes no sense. Same with Bill Clinton in 1992. He didn’t mathematically clinch the nomination until June but his opponents had already conceded weeks before then because he had an insurmountable lead. Like Obama does now. Her examples don’t support the point you’re making.
1. Bill Clinton’s opponents did not all concede weeks before. Jerry Brown was still in the race, and would have had an outside shot of winning the nomination had he won his home state of California handily. Hillary’s point is that Jerry Brown’s decision to let all voters have their say in the nomination process, through his exercising of his right to stay in it, did not hurt the party’s interests at all in the long run, as Bill still won the presidency.
2. It doesn’t matter whether the primaries were held later in the year then. The point is that everyone felt assured back then that coming to a decision on who the nominee would be at a slightly later date wouldn’t hurt the party’s nominee in the fall, and there’s no reason for everyone to feel differently about this now. On the contrary, taking a little more time to think through both candidates’ strengths, weaknesses, and electability will help ensure that we do not, in the end, make a rash and foolish decision that we will later regret.
nothing wrong with what she said
nothing wrong with her LBJ comment either
if they cant fund something to whine about they make something up
the operative word was June….
Ginaswo- typo or freudian slip. You’re totally correct, either way.
It’s nonsense.
Well, I am not sure which is worse. To be impaled by a pitchfork or to have your name and birdshot and eaten for dinner mentioned in the same post. The following was posted about me and a pro Hillary comment I made on another blog. Nice, eh?????
“If it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck…fill it with birdshot and eat it for dinner. The Hon Sen Clinton would surely agree with me, seeing as that she is such a big fan of hunting and guns.
(Note: i’m not suggesting that anyone should shoot and eat bert. I have nothing against cannibalism in general, but it is not suitable for polite company and we have not reached that level of bitterness yet.) “
well bert dont feel bad there is a whole website dedicated to posting comments by Taylor Marsh posters -likely a guy playing GrandTheftAuto18 in his mom’s basement posting all day about HRC supporters-how sad
As Hillary would say it is a perverse form of flattery they are so enamored of what we say and do and consider us so powerful…revvs me up to do more…
I’m with the lady in the pants suit ALL THE WAY TO DENVER AND THE WHITE HOUSE BABY!!
BOOYAH!!!
HILLYEAH!!!
I am totally with Hillary and I don’t care what she does, even if she goes out and robs convenience stores in a mask.
I am trying to make a point that Obama supporters don’t care what he does, they are unreasonable and they make up crap on Hillary.
Hillary has integrity, and is a very honorable lady who loves her country and wants to serve it.
The only way that I would NOT vote for her is if Obama would be on her ticket and I would never vote for him period no matter what. McCain gets my vote then as it goes with millions of other ladies across our country. So be it.
Check out these stats on the Hillary Electability tsunami. It’s a big wave of real change.
“Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson told The Post, “She was talking about the length of the race and using the ‘68 election as an example of how long the races in the past have gone — she used her husband’s race in the same vein.”
Again, in trying to frame an argument in an historical context, Hillary’s batshit haters will ride this donkey as far as it will take them.
If I were her, I’d apologize and make a very deep statement. She might want to remember what Floyd Patterson said when he was fighting Muhammed Ali. “I was fighting for the Championship. Ali was making history.”
She might want to frame something like this within a context of how she, too, is making history, but for some reason, his is more important and how the constant calls for her to get out of the race diminishes her candidacy as well as the aspirations of her supporters who identify with her.
But I’d be careful if I were Barack and his supporters. They could over spin this and it will work against them. They’ve certainly done it before.
Knowing them, they won’t be able to contain themselves, so I figure by the time I get back from errands, this will be another dead horse they’ve tried to beat to no avail.
They are already throwing fits in Obama Underground.
I don’t think Hillary should apologize. She’s had to apologize for every little thing she says and it’s getting ridiculous. I think there is nothing to apologize for. What needs to come from Hillary’s camp is silence on it… and RFK, Jr., to make a comment that he knew exactly what she meant, and why are they trying to twist things to suit them?
I agree. She shouldn’t be manipulated this way.
don’t you just love how obama people are above “gottcha” poltics?
i say bring it. there will be no excuse when we hit back with ALL of Obama’s “mistatements”.
the claim that she was suggesting that somebody could kill obama doesn’t pass the laugh test (at least not with people who are not already in the tank for obama). all it does is compound obama’s problem–he can’t reach into hillary’s base or connect with the people whom he needs to connect with to win.
some people never learn. this won’t get him or the msm any traction. it will only make his general election prospects worse if (heaven forbid) he gets the nominantion.
Oh yeah this poster is a real piece of work.
As for that bobby kennedy remark, why I posted the same thing months ago as an example of how long primaries have been known to go on. And how come everything is all about Barky anyhow? What an egomaniac.
You’ve got to go over to Ameribamablog and read Aravosis’ ranting about the Kennedy remark. Not only has his “cheese slid completely off his cracker”, but now the cracker has molded too!
She simply explained that his primary was going on in JUNE, just as Bill Clinton’s did…as examples of reference of primaries that have gone thru JUNE. What a crock. As if she’s going to head for the hills. Who even mentioned Barky? The guy is so wrapped up in himself. It’s not all about Barky Obama. In fact to some of us NOTHING is about Barky Obama.
The only people this matters to are Barky people who will sqwak, so she will have to “splain” to them. Bunch of asshole Marxists who think all roads lead to them. What the hell makes these people think that’s going to make Barky a president. He’s never going to be President. These people are so focused on the battle they can’t even see they won’t win the war. Bunch of self absorbed assholes just like their Messiah.
Well the Race Card stopped working. lol.
Good grief! Obama supporters sure can be violent and sexist. I’ve lost track of all the offensive comments, but they all seem to involve doing something nasty and violent to women in sexual ways.
“Fuck her with a pitchfork.”
It’s like suddenly being invaded by a bunch of serial killing cult members. Which, given Obama’s connection to Bill Ayer’s and Ayers wife’s praise of Charles Mansion, may not be too far fetched.
Just for the record assholes, threatening sexual violence towards women is the equivlent of telling a black guy you’re going to get a rope. It’s unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
Their follower would do THEM with a pitchfork if he, by some freak accident, became president. Especiall his Girls.
“Obama supporters sure can be violent and sexist. I’ve lost track of all the offensive comments…”
Of course you have “lost track” of every single alleged piece of evidence to support your vile charges
“It’s like suddenly being invaded by a bunch of serial killing cult members.”
So, Obama’s supporters are violent, sexist serial killing cult members (not that you bother to cite a single example of such behavior).
Your attitude is disgusting. It is actually lower than Republican swift-boating. At least no Republican accused Gore or Kerry of being a serial killer. I suspect that you are so deranged that there is no way to get you to understand this, but the rest of us must stand up to this kind of behavior if we want to regard ourselves as somehow superior to Bush and McCain.
Time for Michelle’s tape.
Your right threatening a woman should not be tolerated by by anyone but it is and it has been for years, because we still got the great men’s club. But the get a rope comment? Rasicm Rascism, because there are black men in the MEN’S CLUB.
I’m afraid the supporters will never, ever let us forget this, I know what Hillary meant, BUT SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE SAID IT! These obama people are vicious and this is going to escalate for the weeks to come, this may do her in unless the michele tape or a sinclair tape breaks in the main media.
For weeks, obama supporters have already been claiming that Hillary is is planning on having barack assassintated - this is ALL THEY NEEDED.
Not good at all.
Don’t get upset. Consider the sources and forget them. It’s nonsense.
layla said:
“For weeks, obama supporters have already been claiming that Hillary is is planning on having barack assassintated”
I follow politics very closely, and I have never heard any such thing. Would you like to provide some evidence to support this malignant claim?
I doubt it.
By the way, your internet name is a disgrace to Patty Boyd.
More than one has claimed, often half-joking, that if she were his vice-presidential pick that she would try to kill him.
Once again, no evidence.
Put up or shut up, you malicious asshole.

Dear Ulahane,
I didn’t know that the lifelong Republican David Gergen was an Obama supporter.
Your first citation above refers to a remark by Gergen. The second one refers to “some pundits”, presumably a reference to Gergen’s remark, since no actual names are mentioned.
Sorry. You have yet to come up with a single example of an actual Obama supporter making such a remark. Want to try again, or would you like to just shut up and leave politics to grownups?
we’re waiting!
“She would be a constant discipline problem, always acting in her own self-interest, trying to make Obama look bad, and sabotaging his Presidency so that she could run against him again in 4 years. Plus, frankly, with her new mafioso persona, I wouldn’t put it past her to hatch an internal assassination plot just to force the reins of power into her hands at last. (”At last… at LAST! Mwa-ha-ha-HA!”)”
From the Daily Kos . Or are you going to claim that the Daily Kos is a pro-McCain site. Now either bother to to your own research or ask your mommy and daddy to do it for you.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/5/6/20586/32262/169/510375
If you want proof, go to CNN political ticker, and look for the headlines on the RFK remark. You’ll find every kind of concievable threat and insult there from Obama supporters. Also go to ABC News, find The Note, by Jake Tapper, look for the article where Clinton says she will go all the way to the convention, and the one they report Bill Clinton was pushing for the VP spot for Hillary. You’ll find comments there insinuating that Hillary would only take the VP spot so she could do Obama in and then be President. It doesn’t take much reading to find every possible line of BS that people can throw out at Hillary. If you don’t see it, its because you don’t want to.
Obama has nothing else left in his bag of hope then to run down Hillary. If I was the nominee, I wouldn’t have my people saying anything about her.
How about the comment about his grandmother– an average white person.
How about I couldn’t disown Rev. Wright. We should ask the press to corner the good reverend and ask him how he feels about his pupil.
Hillary Clinton has a ton more experience with the Kennedy’s than Obama. To point out how fast things can change in the times we live in just brings home the point, you must be ready for anything.
Perhaps his supporters forget what JFK said.. we will be prepared to fight any foe (paraphrase). When you want to be president you can’t not think about tomorrow, next year or the next five years.
I personally don’t think she had anything to have
to apologize about, because she had already men-
tioned that Bill himself was campaigning ’til the
middle of June.
The Obama contingent immediately jumped on it, be-
fore anybody else even noticed.
HERE’S THE APOLOGY:
(Wish we had one for every time THE ONE said something we found offensive)
Clinton apologies for Kennedy remark By DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press Writer
5 minutes ago
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton quickly apologized Friday after citing the 1968 assassination of Robert F. Kennedy as a reason to remain in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination despite increasingly long odds.
ADVERTISEMENT
“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.
The episode occurred as Clinton campaigned in advance of the June 3 South Dakota primary.
Responding to a question from the Sioux Falls Argus Leader editorial board about calls for her to drop out of the race, she said: “My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. You know I just, I don’t understand it,” she said, dismissing the idea of abandoning the race.
Clinton said she didn’t understand why, given this history, some Democrats were calling for her to quit.
Her remark about an assassination during a primary campaign drew a quick response from aides to Democratic presidential front-runner Barack Obama.
“Senator Clinton’s statement before the Argus Leader editorial board was unfortunate and has no place in this campaign,” said Obama spokesman Bill Burton.
Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee said the senator was only referring to her husband and Kennedy “as historical examples of the nominating process going well into the summer and any reading into it beyond that would be inaccurate and outrageous.”
Even so, Clinton decided within a couple of hours to make a personal apology.
“I was discussing the Democratic primary history and in the course of that discussion mentioned the campaigns of both my husband and Senator (Robert) Kennedy waged in California in June in 1992 and 1968 and I was referencing those to make the point that we have had nomination primary contests that go into June. That’s a historic fact,” she said.
“The Kennedys have been much on my mind the last days because of Senator Kennedy,” she added, referring to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s recent diagnosis of a brain tumor. “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.
“My view is that we have to look to the past to our leaders who have inspired us, give us a lot to live up to, and I’m honored to hold Senator Kennedy’s seat in the United States Senate from the state of New York and have the highest regard for the Kennedy family,” she said.
Gee I don’t see Barky Obama’s name in there at all do you?
Narcissists.
Well that is because Barfy is done with the Kennedy’s remember, Obama’s statement:
He WAS a friend!
One good turn always deserves another. Obama has a survey on his website - on page 2 there’s even a place to submit your own text on what’s important to you. http://my.barackobama.com/page/s/surv5page1?source=20080523_PS_L1
That’s it? The sky is falling! Hillary said something true that can be misconstrued? Oh my 57 states. This is the end!
No the sky is not falling, but your sky falls, when his true and revealing comments can’t be miscontrued but he tries, eh? Let’s see, “the clingin’ to guns and religion”, for example. Eh? Eh? The difference is he meant that remark. And your name says it all - on how sarcastic and ugly barack really is.
She was citing history, candidates going to June, and heck it is a possibility since your being sarcastic.
Gee, you know what would really help Hillary in this moment when control over the media message can be the make or break of a candidates statement?
That Michelle Obama video.
Hey Larry, you, uh…you find that video yet? We’ve all been patiently, um, waiting, uh….well, waiting a week now for it.
Just sayin’…
There is a movement in the Force. Me thinks someone from the Dark Side has arrived.
your right HIll - those videos are the ONLY THING that will kill it. This is bad, they will never let it go. That’s what we’re dealing with, ugly people like pit-bulls, they got it in their teeth and they won’t let go.
At least it happened on a Friday, right before the long holiday weekend, might help some.
We are used to the Obmamedia trashing Hillary, along with you nutcases. It doesn’t bother us. SHe ignores them just like we do. She’s not going away and if in the end Obama is the nominee, the rest of us who despise him aren’t going away either. Live with it. The man will never be president. He’s pissed off so many voting blocks, I can’t even list them anymore without leaving some out.
Just sayin’
Uppity put up the Ad I made for the Michelle O’Angry film everyone is talking about.
Ok now, I have been in lets see…57 states with one more to go so far….Hummm, again the double standards? His comments were not even historically oriented. Hillary makes an historical reference and it is touted as if she is Satan? Hey why not, they tried the same stuff with Pres. Bush now didn’t they? What just two weeks ago or something. Remember with Obama it is ALL ABOUT HIM. So shhhhhhh, he may be listening.
Here is ALL the ORIGINAL statement and how really
MORONIC anything is that is made to sound so very
SINISTER by the Obama Campaign:
Transcript from the Argus-Leader’s editorial board meeting:
HRC: People have been trying to push me out of this ever since Iowa.
Q: Why?
HRC: I don’t know. I don’t know. I find it curious. Because it is unprecedented in history. I don’t understand it. Between my opponent and his camp and some in the media there has been this urgency to end this. And historically, that makes no sense. So I find it a bit of a mystery.
Q: So you don’t buy the party unity argument?
HRC: I don’t because again I’ve been around long enough.
My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right?
We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it. There’s lots of speculation about why it is.
Q: What is your speculation?
I don’t know. I find it curious. And I don’t want to attribute motives or strategies to people because I don’t really know, but it’s a historical curiosity to me.
Over at Wonkette, which is pretty profane anyway, but usually in a humorous way, there a thread about this with multiple males calling Hillary a bitch; a lone Hillary defender, apparently a female, reminds them that abusive language towards a woman when in a relationship is often a sign of physical abuse to follow, or a symptom of an abusive relationship. She cites this: http://www.4women.gov/violence/types/emotional.cfm
It’s a shame that the Obama cultists are relying on bullying Senator Clinton out of this race. She has won the most votes of any candidate and if she were a man, she would have the nomination now.
Obama is a disaster waiting to happen. Just wait until we find out in October about plagirism of his books, and Obama speaking at the Million Man March.
The reporter who ask the questions was not upset and did not miss a step . The press is looking for a story I quess this is more important than John McCain heatlh report. CNN ask a really important questions from JackASS Cafferety if McCain health is an issue. I wrote that I thought since Obama smokes and is a prior drug users we should be just as concerned (funny thing they did not post it I quess they do not like the facts)
Yeah, Obama is an acknowledged former user of cocaine. That could also come up in October, with Obama lying about using more than he implied, or even dealing drugs.
It seems a bit inconsistant for Obama culties to get on the “McCain might die” wagon while bashing people who point out historical facts.
It’s awfully funny that I remember reading recently that some of Obama’s supporters threatened to re-enact the riots at the Democratic convention of the 1968. I guess it’s okay for them to say something like that.
Lucinda, did you get the memo? Apparently Obama and his surrogates and supporters can say whatever they want and get a free pass from the media. You know.. like Jesse Jackson, Jrs. famous words regarding Hillary vs. Obama: “When I think about how a black man can attack a white woman, O.J. Simpson comes to mind.” Apparently that’s okay.
Having done an informal blog survey of idiotic responses to Hillary’s remarks, it would seem there are more idiots defending her than attacking her. Just remember in November no matter whom you vote for there will be idiots and psychopaths voting the same way as you. So why not choose with the thinking part of your brains instead of the amygdalas. Just sayin’.
[...] contrast, the batshit crazy continues over at No Quarter, where a batshit crazy post about Clintion’s appalling statement by the inaptly named “truthteller” is titled [...]
Wow, this blog is like the progressive version of Little Green Footballs. How fucked up is that?
As warped as someone who is a member of the mining industry supporting Obama. But then again, members of the mining lobby chaired his steering committee in Nevada, and I am sure there were more in Colorado.
Why do you support him?
I like the conspiracy angle. It makes me smile. For the record, however, I’m not that partial to either Clinton or Obama. I will hold my nose, however and vote for either one. Better than Mc Same.
And…. this place still reminds me of LGF. A lot of ugly happening here.
