3. Naw, we just don't care about the faux outrage
I personally find it amusing and as long as the media focuses on Hillary, she is getting the limelight. Obama's speeches are barely getting covered. Not that he says anything.

15. There's no such things as bad publicity...
...unless, of course, you're running for public office, in which case that's the last thing you want.

27. No such thing as bad publicity?
Even if it is free, I don't think this is the kind of coverage she wants.

37. amusing? amusing
in the most charitable understanding it is completely unprofessional and unpresidential

This person is not ready for day one

That is the very most charitable understanding.

48. If this attention is the "limelight" that your candidate craves, feel free to hoard it all.
It does make sense though, in a depraved sort of way.

46. I've posted in numerous threads
Edited on Sat May-24-08 12:31 AM by MonkeyFunk
as have others.

But when you guys get into one of your giant feeding frenzies of hate, there's little point in trying to keep up with every stupid thread. But the notion that we're somehow embarrassed to discuss this issue is nonsensical.

You guys are making shit up. She was pointing out that RFK was in the primaries until June. People remember that he was assassinated in June. The notion that she wished or desired or hoped for an assassination is just ridiculous. She's as much at risk for assassination as Obama.

52. So we agree it was pretty fucking stupid for her to mention it.
And it is as baseless of any argument I have ever heard from her about her chances.

9. This Memorial Day weekend would be a perfect time for her to exit...
The media will be on a three dayer, skelton crew at the stations. "After assessing certain factors and in conference with my campaign, I have decided to suspend my candidacy as of today." I can dream, can't I?

She has gone too far and now those close to her need to tell her it's over.

11. Don't count your chickens
Before the night is over bill clinton will appear somewhere, all red faced and pissed off, and wag his finger at the camera and give us yet one more lame ass reason why this just points out how much the media hates hillary.

I'm afraid these vile individuals will continue to pollute our political landscape for the rest of their lives.

28. Wellll, loyalty to a candidate can be admired
I prefer to give people some benefit of the doubt. I am open to their criticisms of Obama, as long as they are issue oriented. There are still differences between them both worth talking about.

On a thread about invoking the threat of assassination you say the silence will be heard loud and clear? Do you even realize how creepy that sounds?

are the comments made by KO tonight. That was creepy. No one, absolutely no one other KO has invoked the threat of assassination. Get over yourself.

I took no more offense to it than I did Obama's "typical white" remark - it's just shit that COMES OUT THE WRONG WAY and it happens when you TALK NON-STOP FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS ON END. GET THE FUCK OVER IT.

50. It didn't come out the wrong way - it wasn't a slip of the tongue.
If it was, she wouldn't have said it twice before exactly the same way, almost word for word.
