  • Moetownslick, on 05/23/2008, -50/+956Wow. Just *****.......WOW.

    This broad just hit a new low.
    • blazes816, on 05/23/2008, -24/+51It wouldn't surprise me at all if he was though.
      • ZandorMonkeyBoy, on 05/23/2008, -2/+129Yeah, but it's like Fight Club. You just don't talk about it. You certainly don't cite it as a reason to stick around. "Hey, ya never know when my opponent might take one in the hat and I'll need to be there to pick up the ball." is just creepy.
        • blazes816, on 05/23/2008, -1/+6For sure. I was just sayin', that if I turn on the TV and see "Obama - lynched in a circle of burning crosses - nobody knows who's behind it", I wouldn't be shocked. I'd be very very sick, but not shocked.
        • Joshuarr, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1I'd be shocked, but not surprised.
        • tyywebb, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1Rules 1 & 2!
      • shutaro, on 05/23/2008, -5/+106...nor would it surprise me if she was behind it.
      • MessiahCakes, on 05/23/2008, -3/+33...shot down by those "working class white Americans" she keeps talking about, maybe?

        Ah, she's one big validation to racism....and so is the fact that there isn't a big media explosion over this. Maybe she read all of those articles citing poor, southern black WOMEN, and their reluctance to vote for Obama because they felt protective.
        Because they didn't really want him to get shot...
      • mywhitenoise, on 05/23/2008, -1/+75I would be pissed off if Obama was assassinated, but Bush was left unharmed after 8 years.
        • HonestAbe, on 05/23/2008, -0/+19He just needs to select a vice president that no one would want to succeed him.
        • jackal42, on 05/23/2008, -1/+10^Bush as VP?
        • kday, on 05/23/2008, -3/+13Bush/Cheney are part of the New World Order. That's why they did not get assassinated.
        • Kaethre, on 05/23/2008, -0/+7After the opportunistic handling of 9/11, could you imagine how far they'd go if someone successfully took out Bush?
        • MasterPain, on 05/23/2008, -0/+5Because it would be the people who think Bush is doing a great job who would assassinate Obama
        • humperdinck, on 05/24/2008, -1/+21"He just needs to select a vice president that no one would want to succeed him."

          Obama / Carrot Top '08
        • stretch611, on 05/24/2008, -0/+2Thats because the people that hate Bush the most are the people the truly love peace and/or non-violent intellecutal types and would not assassinate someone even if they realize that they would be doing the country and the world a favor.

          All the radical fundamentalists and insane militia types are probably the only ones that still like "W", so he is still safe.
        • Idolatry, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1Bush was not wiped because effing Dick Cheney would come into power.
      • oderdigg, on 05/23/2008, -1/+16As a Canadian while visiting Montana for some sweet snowboarding.. our bus driver said that if Obama were elected POTUS, he'd be assassinated. He also said Hillary would NEVER make it but then again, he's just one man. It's very unfortunate that anyone would be talking about this in the open.
      • MasterPain, on 05/23/2008, -0/+5It would me I heard he is gonna have a Mexican Vice President.
        • TheOther1, on 05/23/2008, -1/+6That would just mean a two-for assassination.
      • SpartanErik, on 05/24/2008, -10/+2The article says that "Hillary Clinton today brought up the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy while defending her decision to stay in the race against Barack Obama."

        The assassination of Robert Kennedy! Obamabots don't have their facts straight.
        • SpartanErik, on 05/24/2008, -1/+2These comments are too broad and generalized to make such accusations (as much as I dislike her myself)
    • withincontext, on 05/23/2008, -3/+41Well, it is apparent that she has no qualms about preying on the fears of the public. She would do this in the White House to promote her agendas.

      what. the. *****.
    • elamr, on 05/23/2008, -4/+205That statement is why she should NOT be the VP.
      • shutaro, on 05/23/2008, -4/+42What are you talking about? She'd be the best VP since LBJ! ... Wait a minute...
      • arlok789, on 05/23/2008, -2/+47A new low? Are you kidding me? Low can't describe how disgusting this is. Ew. I want to vomit all over my keyboard.
      • bjornski, on 05/23/2008, -1/+25No kidding. She'd be trying to push Barack in front of the motorcade all the time.
    • delmar14, on 05/23/2008, -12/+57If it happens, it bet that Queen Bitch would be behind it. She is a ***** and a sociopath, and I can only hope that she isn't insane enough to pay off one of Bill's pardoned inmates as a last ditch effort to grab power.
      • whiterabbitobj, on 05/23/2008, -0/+14I absolutely agree with you. If she was VP, I would put good money that the Clintons themselves would arrange his assassination. There is nothing they wouldn't do to regain the Presidency.
    • Porbeagle, on 05/23/2008, -8/+49So she's gonna assassinate Obama? That's what it sounds like. LOL.
      • bjornski, on 05/23/2008, -2/+20Her statement is plenty of reason to do a full investigation of her, and her people if it does happen.
      • Narrwald, on 05/23/2008, -1/+3Typically, I would bury anyone who tacked 'LOL' on the end of their remark. I, however, thought the same thing you just said when I read the headline... So, up you go.
    • 11b1p, on 05/23/2008, -34/+12Ok i read it and i did not see her say that the reason to stay in the race is his possible assassination. and I am doubting most of the commenter's here read the article.
      • 1legend, on 05/23/2008, -3/+18Her comment on Bobby Kennedy's assassination hints at the idea though. Those kinda statements should not be made. People should be careful with their words especially in high positions.
        • 11b1p, on 05/23/2008, -8/+3why are you reading that much into that. Let me rephrase that, why are you believing it when someone else reads that much into it.
        • jp12380, on 05/23/2008, -1/+5Think about it 11b1p, what are the chances that she will be able to be the winner at the end? Very very poor. Almost non existent, except for if he was assassinated. Then she mentions how Bobby was assassinated. Bobby was the sure thing, not unlike Obama until he was assassinated. Why would she even mention that unless she was hinting at it?

          I think you're not reading into things enough. She may or may not be psychopathic enough to actually do something like that, but mentioning it could possibly scare someone into conceding even if they were winning.

          Do I think that threat will scar Obama enough to drop out? No I do not, however I do think he would have to be very careful about what he exposes himself to because, being black he very well may be the target of an assassination attempt.

          Be careful Obama, I want you to live so I can see how well you run the country.
        • 11b1p, on 05/24/2008, -3/+1You are to probama to even begin to understand
      • Leetamus, on 05/23/2008, -3/+13"Hillary Clinton today brought up the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy while defending her decision to stay in the race against Barack Obama."

        Well you see, reading means that you connect letters together to form words which in turn work together to make up a bigger idea.

        are you dumb or stoned or both? don't vote. please.
      • yojiffyskippy, on 05/23/2008, -18/+3Because she didn't say it, "hint" it, "imply" it or any other "it" that all the Obama-bot commenters are saying. The "title" is both hilarious because it makes Hillary look bad but it's also pathetic because it's completely fabricated. This only makes all the Obama-bots look pathetic for acting like it's accurate.
      • RandomLove, on 05/24/2008, -0/+3While the headline and title of the post might seem sensationalist, they are pointing to Clinton's underlying tone. When you look at what she says, it's very calculating and deliberate in its message: under the pretense of defending a long running race by using historical examples (which is fine), she very specifically brings up Bobby K's assassination after talking about Bill's race into June. Instead of saying that RFK's campaign extended into June, or using any other past example of an election, she is clear to point out that he was assassinated after the California primary in June. It's subtle, but at least for most it's well understood that she's referencing the occurrence of an assassination of a presidential possible (though RFK was actually well behind Humphrey in delegate counts) for very specific reasons: to remind America that by voting for a black man who speaks about talking to "foreign enemies", taking us out of Iraq, and reforming corrupt business and political practices, we are--in the most cynical of realities--voting for a likely assassination target.
        • boujin, on 05/24/2008, -0/+0I don't think that there is any undercurrent in what she says that is targeting Obama because of his race. Rather than reminding America of what you've stated, she is rather reminding America that any leader of the United States could be a target for assassination no matter what their alliances are within the US. For her to point this out may not be tasteful, but I don't think it shows some kind of alternative motive or that Obama is more of a target that anyone else. Kennedy appears to be the only presidential candidate that has been assassinated, but failed attempts included Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and George C. Wallace. I also do not think it is subtle. She is saying, in plain site, if option A fails then doesn't it make sense to have a back up plan? Given the history of attempted and successful assassinations throughout history, it is wise play it cautious. It is not wise, however, to use assassination references in a political race, but if an article in the Sydney Morning Herald is correct then the Kennedy's were on her mind this week with the recent diagnosis of brain cancer for Senator Edward Kennedy. I can forgive her for bringing up this bitter memory considering how close she is to the family and holding Bobby's former seat.
      • Idolatry, on 05/24/2008, -0/+3Think of it in this way: What if Obama had made this comment about HRC? What do you think the reaction would be?
    • megahan, on 05/23/2008, -1/+8Dude, perfect response to the headline.
    • deem1890, on 05/23/2008, -3/+5She is desperate to win, sounds like a threat to me! A scorn lady.
      On the convention floor going back to 1968...some comparing..hum... she is not making sense.
      Thats not normal talk but more on what can happen to Obama.
      • Abram730, on 05/24/2008, -0/+2When asked if Bill taking 800,000 dollars from the Colombian Government to pass a free trade bill was a conflict of interests she answered. "How many angels dance on the head of a pin"?
    • geneticlone, on 05/23/2008, -2/+9It's really not that surprising, I mean coming from her.
    • rhabd0mancer, on 05/23/2008, -3/+17You'd think Hillary would be a little more careful with her words, given Mike Huckabee's assassination "joke" a few days ago.
      • Serial0Hacker, on 05/23/2008, -1/+6I say round them both up.
      • notanidiot, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1Now, McCain just needs to make some dumbass remark like this, and the trifecta will be complete. 3 is the magic number.
    • chuckDontSurf, on 05/23/2008, -21/+16At first I thought this was an Onion article. Now that I read it, however, the title is inaccurate. Nowhere does she say or imply that Obama's assassination is a reason to stay in the race. She's talking about RFK still being in the race in June, when he was assissinated. Look, I don't like her at all, but let's not be ridiculous here.
      • flashfry, on 05/23/2008, -6/+9people are so over the top.
      • 1shawn, on 05/23/2008, -7/+12Exactly! I don't know why you are being dugg down for pointing out the truth. Isn't it lovely how people like to take things out of context to make it sound like something it's not? Of course this would happen on DIgg, being that the majority of the users here are Obama supporters that would do anything to make Hillary look bad. You can hate Hillary all you want, but twisting her words around is just silly.
      • plimpton777, on 05/24/2008, -1/+10I'm not convinced this was a "gaffe." She's a paranoid, particular campaigner--not one word comes out of her mouth that hasn't been measured, pre-screened or pre-polled. She deliberately brought up RFK's assassination, when it was unnecessary to do so.

        She deserves all the criticism us diggers give her.
      • dualboy24, on 05/24/2008, -3/+5After watching the segment I was not offended by what she said, she simply listed two historically recent campaigns that fought into June for nomination. Just because RFK was assasinated people somehow link this to Obama? I do not see the connection.
        • dagamer34, on 05/24/2008, -0/+3Why the hell use the word "assassinate" when referencing RFK? Just saying his name would have been enough. We don't need to relive that time period in our history with the word "assassinate" just to get the meaning behind what she was saying.
      • oldgal, on 05/24/2008, -0/+2No matter how innocent her motivation she just sent an open invitation to the racist looney tunes out there.
      • jebudas, on 05/24/2008, -1/+3She basically said:
        I shouldnt drop out of the race because anything can happen. Even assassination.

        You'd have to really love Hillary to defend her on this one.

        • chuckDontSurf, on 05/24/2008, -2/+1No, she didn't, and if you could ***** read, you'd figure out the exact same thing. She was giving examples of lengthy campaigns. She was using RFK's assassination as a reference point to demonstrate that at the time he was killed, it was June and he was still campaigning.

          I have no love for Hillary, and I hope she gets nowhere near the Oval Office. However, the way people are reacting to this is just asinine. Regardless of how you feel about her, to have gotten this far she obviously has to be an intelligent woman. So why would she purposefully come out and say or imlpy something as idiotic as "I should stay in the race because Obama may be assassinated?" Think for chrissakes.
        • jebudas, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1@chuckDontSurf,
          The only thing Hillary is doing now is dividing the Democratic party, and I cant help but feel she would be extremely happy to see Obama lose in 2008 so that she could run in 2012.

          RFK was in a tight race in 1968 and had just won California when he was assassinated. The reference is not parallel to Hillary's campaign because she has no chance of winning. So why bring up RFK? Either she is delusional enough to think she will still win the nomination, or she is using Rovian tactics. If she is as intelligent as you say she is, well...
    • topgigmedia, on 05/23/2008, -1/+25Even if a meteor kands on Obama, I will write in my wife's name on my ballot before I will ever cast a vote for that poor excuse of an American.
      • plimpton777, on 05/24/2008, -2/+3If a meteor kands on Obama, I wikk KOK
    • NikoKun, on 05/23/2008, -1/+16Yeah... Like the first Female President wouldn't be a HUGE target for assassination her self, too?

      I think she needs to STFU and drop out... She's mentally unfit for president and will probably never change. I hope she never makes it, neither this term, or any future ones...
      • stretch611, on 05/24/2008, -0/+3I honestly believe that she is a bigger target because of all the people that hate her an the fact she truly is a bitch, not because she is a woman.
    • franklymister, on 05/23/2008, -1/+16What was she doing with a fact like that at her fingertips anyway?

      Quick - without looking it up, what month was Reagan shot? How about JFK? Lincoln?
      It's not the kind of thing most people would just be able to recall arbitrarily, unless they had been specifically thinking about it beforehand.

      • kgool, on 05/24/2008, -1/+2It is related to when the primaries run and the convention starts which is around the same time every year.
        • franklymister, on 05/26/2008, -0/+1No, the Democratic convention of '68 was held in August.

    • theDoc7or, on 05/23/2008, -4/+6Take it from apparently the only level-headed Obama supporter here and

      RTFA

      Because this headline is just a pathetic excuse to stir up trouble. Its amazing how some people can blame hillary for "dividing the party" by remaining in the race then go and post garbage like this which is far more divisive.
      • jbetancourt, on 05/24/2008, -1/+3Agreed. Then again, acting like a devil's advocate here, it smells. Hillary mentioning assassination in a historical context, Huckabee with his sick joke (so pious), references to "24", and so forth, perhaps America is having some kind of psychic weirdness going on. Its like some primal scream as it accommodates so much change brought about by a younger generation (like the 60s). Nah, too complex.
      • paradexes, on 05/24/2008, -1/+3The problem was not with her mentioning RFK going into June...that alone would not be a problem. Its the part about him being assassinated. Which anyone with half a brain (many on digg clearly lacking 1/4th of one from the comments posted) can pick up on what she is trying to say there. That he could be assassinated, that being said it is A: Fear mongering in the worst way B: low blow C: suspicious.
        • chuckDontSurf, on 05/24/2008, -2/+2A. Fear mongering--To what end?
          B. Low blow--Like a woman president is less in danger of being assassinated than a black president?
          C. Suspicious--Yeah, drawing suspicion to yourself; that's real smart.
      • usaisscrewed, on 06/22/2008, -0/+0Yeah, it's just a coincidence she's mentioned assassination, especially with all the people who worked for the Clintons that have died.


        http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/ ...

        Just a coincidence....
    • MasterPain, on 05/23/2008, -0/+10THIS BITCH IS CRAZY !
    • haxcorner, on 05/23/2008, -0/+8The title is misleading here, but my blood literally drained from my face when I was reading through Google news & saw 'Why stay? Clinton invokes RFK assassination' - I think I was in shock for a moment.

      This is absolutely unbelievable.
    • davidrools, on 05/23/2008, -0/+5She just keeps demonstrating how unfit she would be as a president in desperate and trying times. Rather than attempting to legitimately restrategize she appeals to fear and tries to mislead voters.
    • ridercologne, on 05/23/2008, -2/+4This old ***** is out of her mind. Unbelievable!
      I begin to really hate her. ***** opportunist.
    • honutt, on 05/23/2008, -2/+3I am no Clinton supporter, but I did not read that as a suggestion of Obama being assissnated. I think she is just trying to make the point that the primary contests have run as late in the year as June by referencing a historically significant race that did so...
      • haxcorner, on 05/23/2008, -0/+1There wasn't any mention of it that I saw in the video, either. The indirect link to the video is below, but here it is for easy access:

        http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=101403

        After doing a bit of looking around it just looks like people are blowing things out of proportion - in some cases, way out of proportion. She used a poor example at an improper time and because of the way she's been acting lately it's apparently easier for MSM to jump to the conclusion that they did. This doesn't mean I like her because I don't think there's any way she can redeem herself, but I think a lot of people are taking this way too far.

        However, if she loses a few superdelegates or voters over it, that's just the way things go - I wouldn't complain about that.
      • paradexes, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1Actually haxcorner, You did not watch the whole video. In a really ramdom comment she says, "My husband did not win the nomination until the CA primaries were over in middle of June, Bobby Kennedy was assasinated in the middle of June" WTF was that all about? That had no bearing on the point she was making. It was just a comment about RFK getting killed.

        It certainly had no place in the conversation and certainly is suspicious in the context she put it in. I am guessing either you did not see the video fully....OR you are counting on the fact that most diggers won't see it. Which I am guessing the second is most likley.
    • Sirrob, on 05/23/2008, -2/+1yeah i guess her referencing the assassination was distasteful but lets not take it out of perspective here.. she was talking about the length of the race and how she has been asked to quit.. quite honestly it is pretty revolting how politicians are pulling the rug from underneath her.. if she wants to continue so be it .. isn't that the whole point of democracy .. but people seem to think that a closely contested democratic primary will lead to another republican president.. MAN oh MAN!!!! what this president has done over the years is enough to bury any republican candidate for a WHILE!!! and if McCain does get elected well i think the responsibility for that will ultimately be with the American people and not the democratic primaries..
    • noprtyaff, on 05/23/2008, -12/+0We all found out that "Hussein" is clearly off limits. Hillary should have known better. My they are sensitive that Obama campaign, aren't they. Can we have three new candidates please!

      Have a nice day.
    • 032483, on 05/24/2008, -4/+6The headline of this article is B.S.

      And whats an even bigger shame is that a bunch of idiot diggers decided to post without reading the entire article. Nowhere in her quote does she even hint at what the article says.

      - An Obama Supporter
    • GregFD3S, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1I don't think she meant it as Obama being assassinated, I think she meant it as far as the length of the race.

      But still, its a comment that should have never been said.
    • gfbarr, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1Read the article it doesn't say that - it is the Post putting forth outrageous headlines to suck in people who don't bother to read the article. I am a Obama supporter, it's important to keep perspective on accuracy.
    • pauleku, on 05/24/2008, -3/+1I cant believe people think she was referring to the assassination..i mean seriously - REALLY? Are you THAT dumb? Do your history research and come back. More happened during the time perioid she was referring to. She never mentioned or talked about an assassination. ***** idiots.
    • thanakar, on 05/24/2008, -3/+1This article is obviously *****..why do you people buy into it. Think for YOURSELVES for a change obamabots.

    • aelias, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1Pretty sad state of affairs for her campaign if her best chance is "Well, he could be assasinated I suppose."

      If he were assasinated, I wouldn't vote for her if I were a delegate.
    • MrViklund, on 05/24/2008, -1/+1Well.
      You just calling her a "broad" just shows what allot of voters still thinks of women and how when it comes to Clinton it's always about how she looks. Sexists. It's sad. A society dominated buy males, corporate structures dominated by males and politics dominated by males. We need some change around here.
      • mrraven200, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1I don't hate her because she's a woman I hate her because she's a power hungry war mongering sociopath. Haven't we had enough of power hungry war mongering sociopaths with 7+ years of Bush? I'd love to see Cynthia McKinney be President BTW so all you shills for Hillary need to knock it off with the wah you bad sexists routine already, it's stale reaaaaaallllllllyyyyy stale.
    • kprooney, on 05/24/2008, -3/+1digg is really full of a bunch of sensationalist sheeple

    • pacelli, on 05/23/2008, -6/+7I'd say this should be considered a terroristic threat and she should be sent to Guantanamo before Obama is added to the existing "Clinton Body Count" (google it). This family is evil to the core, and dangerous. The bilderberg group is meeting from June 5 - 8 in Chantilly, VA this year. Hillary was at last year's meeting. I wonder what they'll be planning this time around?

    • PolishLogic, on 05/23/2008, -15/+9Overreact much?

      I'm no Hillary fan, but looking at the comments in context she was speaking about campaigns that weren't decided until well into the summer and cited a few. Clinton didn't lock it up in 92 until June. Kennedy's assassination happened in June and completely changed the entire primary.

      This headline is a flat-out lie, since she never said a word about Obama being assassinated, and as usual diggers are just falling hook, line and sinker for the same journalistic sensatioanlism that they so often complain about.
      • HHP2K, on 05/23/2008, -2/+2Being that this is a sensitive issue for the first African-American in the riding and that he's already received death threats before, she could have used a better example. Obviously with all of this pertinent it's going to be assumed that she's hinting at the idea that Obama may be assassinated.
        • PolishLogic, on 05/23/2008, -1/+4Well, you know what happens when people assume.....


          Again, you're taking the comment and creating your own context for it, rather than leaving it in its original context. The original context was: there have been a few races, some closer than others, that have been ultimately decided late into the campaign season.

          I can see Clinton using her hubby as an example because it was first hand, as for RFK, that's just one that jumps right to the front of people's minds when the subject is brought up.

          She's a *****, but I highly doubt that she meant any malice by using that as an example. It just happens to be a very well known and recognized example of the point she was making. Besides, I'd be willing to bet that each of the three candidates has been the target of death threats, regardless of race or gender.
        • HHP2K, on 05/24/2008, -1/+1PolishLogic, however right you may be it's painfully avoiding a very obvious, and very human assumption. Clinton has a tendency to make these "near-miss" remarks, ones ambiguous enough to be seen as (especially by her spokespeople) perfectly innocent, yet anyone with good enough sense understands that it's with a much deeper, much more malicious intent. She plays on these human assumptions to get a rise out of people and (somehow) believes that this strengthens her position.

          But of course I could be completely wrong, legally, politically and in the eyes of her campaign manager of course.

          Btw: I'm digging you up anyway because I admire anyone with some sanity left this late in this campaign.
      • honesttussey, on 05/23/2008, -1/+3not sure why you're getting dugg down PolishLogic, your statement is true.
        • PolishLogic, on 05/23/2008, -0/+3I'm getting dugg down because I'm not choosing to read this completely false headline and lash out at Hillary in order to defend the good Obama name. Basically if it's not love and adoration for Obama it gets -1 from a certain group of diggers. Similar tactics are used in the Ron Paul stories.

          Kevin Rose should add an Obama forum and Obama section to the menu.

          I credit the passion of Obama supporters, but I feel pity toward the segment of them that lack the willingness to be objective.
    • Hillsfar, on 05/23/2008, -2/+4This "RFK assassination comment is insidious and calculating. JUST LIKE the Bosnia "sniper fire", the "hard-working Americans" (implying Obama's voters are lazy), the "white Americans" (implying Obama's voters don't include whites), the Commander in Chief "threshold", the offer to Obama of the "Vice Presidential" slot, all of it.

      It makes you wonder...
      1. Either she puts her foot in her mouth all the time - and that makes her unworthy of becoming President, or
      2. Truly she must be insidious and calculating and disgusting - which also makes her woefully unfit for the Presidency.
      • PolishLogic, on 05/23/2008, -3/+3or

        3. She cited a well-known example of a race being decided late in the primary season as the reason for her continuing along with her campaign.


        Congratulations, 8 years of hatred and just plain bitterness has finally completely consumed your ability to think objectively.
        • Hillsfar, on 05/23/2008, -2/+1She knows what she's up to, that fratricidal maniac is gearing up for a 2012 run.
        • PolishLogic, on 05/23/2008, -0/+4Not a prayer.

          I see it one of three ways:

          McCain wins, Obama runs in 2012, again.

          Obama wins, gets re-elected in 2012.

          Obama wins, gets booted in 2012 and we have another Republican.


          This is Hillary's only shot, she knows it.
    • paradexes, on 05/23/2008, -5/+1Actually I would not be surprised if something happened to him at this point. Racist bitch would probably be behind it too. And she would of course be cleared. *sigh* the world we thought we lived in is now over.
    • dinot, on 05/23/2008, -3/+6Come on. This is silly. Yes, it was an incredibly stupid thing to say, but there's no way she meant it the way it sounds. She was referencing the length of previous races, and I really hope we as Obama supporters can look past this.

      Yeah, I'm an idealist. But hey, I don't like it when Obama's rivals pounce on his gaffes either.

To be honest, it offends me because most women that I'm around are not like Sybil.

          I said at the beginning of her campaign that she held the potential to set back women's rights 50 years because she's the way that she is. She's not helping....
    • pr0nstarr, on 05/24/2008, -5/+2This is ridiculous...pure propaganda. I can't believe all you people. I am an Obama fan, but this is the most ridiculous and misleading article I've ever seen on Digg. She does not say anything about Obama being assassinated, so why assume that's what she's implying? All I see in the video is her mentioning the assassination of RFK, to say that he was still campaigning in June. There doesn't seem to be anything sinister about it. But then again, I don't know Hillary Clinton personally, maybe she's a psychopath...but I wouldn't come to that conclusion just from this video.

        Also considering the recent reveleation that Rumsfeld was practically praying for another 9/11, i wouldn't be surprised if they assassinated Obama then blamed it on a (surprise) Irani-trained terrorist (or actually recruit one and let him go through with it)... and guess what?

Its terrible that Hillary raises this point as a reason to stay in the race, but to say that people just don't get assassinated anymore is unthinking. And, if it wasn't till Hillary's remarks that you thought of this, then I am sorry, but did you watch the West Virginian primary? Racism is still an issue in the US. Hillary also happened to point that one out, making the point that America is too racist to elect Obama. I sure hope we prove her wrong.
    • burstaneurysm, on 05/23/2008, -8/+72And stop calling him Hussein. Yea, sure, it's his middle name, but there's no reason to call him by his middle name other than to draw attention.
      • supersheep7, on 05/23/2008, -0/+18If you don't call her "H. Rodham" (and nobody does) there's no reason to call him "B. Hussein."
        • GroundhogBoy, on 05/24/2008, -1/+3Rodham isn't her middle name, it's her maiden name btw...

          Her middle name is Diane.
      • Jareth86, on 05/23/2008, -2/+6I think I'll refer to Hillary as "Rodham" from now on, and McCain as "Lawrence the third". Makes sense, right?
      • mytealjacket, on 05/23/2008, -2/+3I think her middle name is Diane, and her last name is Rodham Clinton. No?
      • PhilLesh69, on 05/24/2008, -1/+6You know, there are only a few idiots out there who still think Obama is a secret sleeper cell muslim.

      There is no reason for high ranking military officials to be against Obama compared to a lot of the other power structures in the american government: Oil companies, lobbyist networks, israel money etc.

I'm sure there are plenty of Americans that are unhappy about his possible nomination. I'm gonna vote for the guy and I'm certainly not among them, but to completely dismiss the possibility (and thus dismiss the power that racism still has in this country) is not wise.

      • gcauthon, on 05/23/2008, -1/+7Nobody is doubting that assassination is a real threat here. It's wrong to try and base your political campaign on the hopes that someone else will be murdered.

      • Monkeywithacold, on 05/24/2008, -0/+1I would say that assassination is very possible as well.

      I think most Americans are smart enough not to buy into this name association crap. (Well, hopefully enough to get Barack elected anyway.)
    • toowired77, on 05/24/2008, -2/+0Do you have anything to say other continuing to mention his middle name. You cannot oppose any of his ideas because his ideas are way over your head. Its amazing how childish this whole middle name game has become. Grow up.

      it's like you really don't even want to sound like you have any credibility.

      and the balls to say it? to say what, exactly? "Breaking news: People get assassinated". if the media or ANYONE says anything about assassination, it's all part of an extremely dark and inappropriately speculative mentality. speculative assassination discussions? what the hell?

      "So, Larry King... what do ya think? You think this terms president is going to get assasinated?"

      jesus christ, man. doesn't that sound ridiculous as *****? that'd be like the news speculating how many people might die in a bad storm. i don't think anyone needs to go into detail about why that's a bad idea.

      you know what i was hoping to read? something like this:

      The fact that there is such a retaliatory response to this shines light on the fact that some Obama supporters may actually be worried about the issue. Just as much as there shouldn't be a discussion on this topic, a hint at the subject shouldn't prompt such distress.

      and... *****. i just realized something. you're a ***** troll. and i didn't realize it until after i wrote all this. damnit, i guess that means i lost. you win, i lose at the internet.

        What she basically did, though, was to, "Let the Cat out of the Bag"....maybe regarding her future plans among her ASSASSINATION TEAM...a real shame.
        Her campaign staff are trying to cover it up, saying that she tired from campaigning. Maybe she's at her best, ONLY, around 3:00AM...best by phone, and not a face to face interview.

      I've suggested this plenty of times, about both of them. Obama's black, and Clinton's a woman. President? In a country of racist, sexist morons who can't bear the thought of not having a rich old white guy in charge? The chance of either of them surviving their presidency is just a bit worse than random rich old white guy #29 surviving.

      So now that I've suggested again, do I win a prize? Are some sort of secret thought police that don't exist going to show up, like you're implying?
      • PhilLesh69, on 05/24/2008, -1/+2secret thought police? No, the Secret Service.

        It is against the law to make threats against the president. I don't know whether the same applies for a presidential candidate, however if he wins office, the secret service could revisit any remarks of that nature made while he was campaigning, and decide whether the threats were viable or not.

        The secret service has visited grade schoolers and all sorts of people for even the most innocent remark regarding the president's life. Generally, they don't prosecute people for those remarks unless they are exceptionally egregious or they find evidence like guns or bomb making equipment or something else that indicates the person might actually go through with it. But people have been prosecuted for it.

  • OCSmoke, on 05/23/2008, -29/+7You are all totally overreacting. Hillary would NEVER have Obama hit.
    The stress of campaigning, however, could drive a man to suicide.

    • TantrooM, on 05/23/2008, -3/+1Um, it has nothing over being in an actual battlefield. Maybe she should go over to Iraq and see what that is like.
    • PhilLesh69, on 05/24/2008, -2/+1Yeah, being ahead in delegates, super-delegates, the popular vote and number of states won could drive a guy to suicide.

      On the other hand, being so far behind in a campaign for the office that she was all but entitled to could drive a woman to do some rather drastic things.

      Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
  • orlandorays, on 05/23/2008, -12/+54How many people around Clinton have mysteriously died?

    Goodbye campaign.
  • geefull, on 05/23/2008, -10/+37In a week when Sen. Edward Kennedy is diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, let alone all of the other history .........words fail me...

    Whether you give her any % for including facts, you have to give her 0% for humanity or manners.
    • marabout40, on 05/23/2008, -2/+11She actually claims that that's why she said what she said. Because Senator Kennedy has been on her mind. Can you believe that? Do we buy that crap? Hell no! Out with her! Out!
      • pacelli, on 05/23/2008, -0/+4
        I'm sure she "misspoke" again. Please. This family is not pro-america. She is upset that they haven't rigged the votes YET for her, so she can't contain herself. And it makes me sad to think that if something were to happen to Sen. Obama, the democratic party would swallow a Hillary presidency. I still think she is going to steal it.
        • TVarmy, on 05/24/2008, -1/+1The fact she's acting so nuts, I think, shows that she has no control over the voting system. If she did, she'd just simply lean back in the chair and say her rhetoric, about how it's still possible for her to win if Obama doesn't win anything...
  • ozymandias2012, on 05/23/2008, -15/+54Any political figure is a potential target for assasination. Clinton's trying to scare voters away from Obama (this is another one of her "remember he's black" type of attacks). Probably won't have an impact but who knows. Not a very classy thing to do.
    • marabout40, on 05/23/2008, -2/+11You hit the nail on the head. This bitch's campaign has been all about fear and smear.
      • bjornski, on 05/23/2008, -1/+8She watched how Rove did it.

        Only problem is that it works.

        People are stupid.
    • orlandorays, on 05/23/2008, -1/+4I say it will have the reverse effect. And if Dean has any balls, he'll demand she quit the race.
  • chocobomog, on 05/23/2008, -69/+68Jesus, I am the last person to defend Hillary but she never said "Obama assassination", she pointed out two examples where the Democratic nomination lasted until June: 1. Her husband's 1992 run, and Robert Kennedy's assassination. If someone asked you for examples of anything and you give them historical facts, how you would like it people twisted those facts into diabolical intentions?

    Some of you guys are frothing at the mouth to twist anything that isn't pro-Obama. Hell, the only people who are saying Hillary is planning an assassination ("October surprise") are the pro-Obama people above. Lighten up, Obama practically has the nomination. And its the NY Post for chrissakes.
    • gsadamb, on 05/23/2008, -5/+6It's also Yahoo News (AP):

      http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080523/ap_on_el_pr/cl ...

      And it's on Politico.
    • totaldepravity, on 05/23/2008, -12/+9No she didn't say "Obama assassination", but bringing up RFK's assasination as an example of why it's ok that her losing campaign is still dragging on is tasteless nonetheless. She might not have "meant" any harm, but it sure is a strange thing for her staff to present as a talking point.
    • drewedman, on 05/23/2008, -15/+5how about you shut up and think about who you're talking about here. This is Hillary "lies" Clinton who basically calculates every single last nuance of what she says. This isn't a slip up, this is intentional.
    • DrunkenSavior, on 05/23/2008, -2/+13I don't think Hillary was trying to suggest what the OP's title says, but if Obama was assassinated during the campaign, I think the Democrats would turn to Hillary. However, it wouldn't be because she was still in the race, it'd be because she is the next logical choice based on the primary votes. Suggesting that she has to stay in the race because an assassination might occur is not sound logic.
      • jdhammer, on 05/23/2008, -0/+5I hope everyone who reads this thread gets to see this comment. Great comment.
      • politic2, on 05/24/2008, -3/+0No, it's not like that at all. It's just like she stated, and it was a slip of the tongue...what she's really feeling. "Wishful Thinking" of an assassination on Obama's life.
        Her decision to consider the position of VP was out of the question, until the idea of " IF an ASSASSINATION of Obama was to take place, if Obama wins the nomination, as President, and she's on the ticket as VP would, automatically make her President. That would be a way in.
        Other than that possibility, it would still be out of the question..her running on the ticket as VP.( That's beneath her.)
        She was saying that, referencing a question ask her by an interviewer , "why not just drop out of the running". She added in making the statement that she didn't understand why she was being asked that, why should she...Bobby Kennedy was assassinated prior to her husband getting in, as if maybe the same thing will happen to Obama and then, BAMMM..she's in, so she's not going to give up because anything could happen etc. That's how her statement came acros
