Edited on Fri May-23-08 11:02 PM by MethuenProgressive
From http://www.racewire.org/archives/2007/05/michelle_obama... : When asked if she’s concerned about Obama being assassinated because of his race and position, Mrs. Obama said: “as a Black man, he could get shot at a gas station.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyUsDOeFo24

RFK, Jr. On Hillary's Remarks By Big Tent Democrat, Section Off Topic Posted on Fri May 23, 2008 at 08:39:14 PM EST
“I’ve heard her make that argument before,” Mr. Kennedy said, speaking on his cell phone as he drove to the family compound in Hyannis for the holiday weekend. “It sounds like she was invoking a familiar historical circumstance in support of her argument for continuing her campaign.” . . . is support of Mrs. Clinton has not wavered. More from RFK, Jr.:
I have heard her make this reference before, also citing her husband's 1992 race, both of which were hard fought through June. I understand how highly charged the atmosphere is, but I think it is a mistake for people to take offense." http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/5/23/213914/479

 |
Statement from the Argus Leader The Argus Leader’s Executive Editor Randell Beck issued the following statement today: "The context of the question and answer with Sen. Clinton was whether her continued candidacy jeopardized party unity this close to the Democratic convention. Her reference to Mr. Kennedy's assassination appeared to focus on the timeline of his primary candidacy and not the assassination itself."

 |
The comments weren't offensive to the memory of RFK. They were offensive to Obama and his supporters that she is implying that she should stay in because RFK was assassinated (and thusly someone else could be assasinated..wink wink)
I never said anything about RFK JR. lying. I think he is wrong.

 |
I can't understand him continuing to support Hillary after she pimped his father's assassination for campaign purposes, but that's just me.
My father devoted his life to his family. He taught us loyalty to family by his own devoted loyalty to us. If my father had been murdered for political purposes, and a politician pimped his death for a cheap political point, I would have stood up for my father's legacy and called out the pimp politician.
But that's just me. RFK Jr is obviously different. Not good or bad. Just different.

She gave a response that she thought about it but never lost any sleep because Obama could get shot going to the gas station. There was no "assassination card" played, the interviewer asked her if she worried about assassination, she gave a response and her response was basically "don't worry about it".

Saying the only people who are worried about Obama's safety are an "emotional black woman" who presumably meets all the definitions of a stereotypical "crazy black woman" whom MP would never vote for. I mean, rural gas stations dangerous to a black man? Come on! Why next Michelle will be claiming MLK's death was a hate crime and not some random slaying!
"It's not an issue, running for President is dangerous business!" the Hillary shills will say. "Michelle is looking for a scapegoat... Gas stations are dangerous places!"
Hillary will take her chances because she knows the RW and Media value her life (as an unpopular figurehead of the opposition party) far more highly than that of any black man.

Michelle was referring to random violence. Random violence, unfortunately, is something (black) men have to deal with on a daily basis.
Your candidate referred to directed violence. Obama is ahead, he IS (going to be) the democratic nominee, and your candidate is suggesting she stay in the race because, "you know, anything can happen."
I certainly hope your candidate isn't wishing it on him, but I would not put it past her. As you told me before, pay attention.

If she wanted to use RFK.. she could have just said RFK cam pained into June. But she didn't say that. She said he was assassinated in June. What the hell did his assassination have to do with her giving examples of campaigns going into June.

Edited on Fri May-23-08 11:49 PM by MethuenProgressive
"Earlier today I was discussing the Democratic primary history and in the course of that discussion mentioned the campaigns that both my husband and Senator Kennedy waged in California in June 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. The Kennedys have been much on my mind the last days because of Senator Kennedy and I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation, and particularly for 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 and to our leaders who have inspired us and 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 entire Kennedy family."
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? 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.
Statement from the Argus Leader The Argus Leader’s Executive Editor Randell Beck issued the following statement today: "The context of the question and answer with Sen. Clinton was whether her continued candidacy jeopardized party unity this close to the Democratic convention. Her reference to Mr. Kennedy's assassination appeared to focus on the timeline of his primary candidacy and not the assassination itself."

years for such to occur, makes you wonder what is going on...
If she said that, when we all know Sen Clinton did NOT speak those words than she is the quilty one like it or not that is deserving of all this outrage...
Sen Clinton is no angel and she should be called on some things but this? If the video is correct, and his own wife stated something like that the outrage on what Sen Clinton said yesterday no longer holds water in that it cannot be used to bash her yet again...

so inappropriate - Obama is not like the criminal element that gets shot at gas stations... scary wording by her. Sometimes I think she needs to not speak for him... just my opinion. my best friend said the same thing about a different issue (the one about being only proud of her country for the 1st time ever b/c of Obama doing well, that doesn't play well with most people, just an opinion)

doesn't imply that the victims have done anything wrong. i can't count how many honors students who were black have been murdered at random in various parts of San Francisco.
but you don't know what you're talking about --not that the ignorance stopped you.

| 75. like random violence doesn't happen to all colors - good grief - that's why |
 |
she's not the candidate. I saw a little white girl got hit with a stray bullet recently. I've seen Spanish, Asian, Caucasian people being the victim of random violence a lot on the news, too!
And, saying for the first time that she's proud of her country - when her husband is trying to run for president is a HORRIBLE mistake... there's generations of people who's families have fought and or died in battle to defend this country and they take something like that from her as a horrible insult! Even if she feels it personally, it should not be spoken because her husband's going to be running against a war hero.
Saying crap like that again will harm his chances. I just asked 3 people if they heard of it, all 3 had, and they don't like her, which I did not know. She's a liability if she keeps doing that, and we need him in the White House in the worst way after 8 years of dumbass.
Your final sentence was childish.

the only reason Barack is at risk is because he's running for president. Before this he was no more likely to be injured or killed by random violence at a gas station in a bad part of town than any other white person that lived in the area who worked there.
Random violence occurring more to people of his color is a result of population of those areas being more black. So, it does not mean a man of his moral strength who isn't involved in pimping, drug trading, hustlin' of any sort is any more likely to get hurt by gunfire than a Caucasian/Indian/Spanish/Asian man or woman who frequents the same places as much as he would.
I'm 100% behind Obama's candidacy, it's just comments like these are what scare off a lot of white voters - people that I got to vote for Kerry last time over the SOB. This time, nearly half of them are saying they feel better with McCain - that is aggravating. I haven't heard much from her lately - perhaps she's learning.

| 134. i don't think what she said was screened for primetime either |
 |
it's not what i would have said, but they asked her a question and that was her answer, it is defensible, even if not 100%, nevertheless, she's not running for president.
but what i was taking issue with was the suggestion that she said Obama was at risk because of things he might be doing that would make him a more likely target (like he was into drugs or hanging with the wrong crowd). take a look at the string of posts that prompted mine and you will see the context i was arguing against that was posted by one in particular here.

I think all will be well again, a few weeks after the agitator has dropped out in a few days (how I pray). I realize I have no idea how BADLY I would do interviews and off the cuff quick-hit questions. I commend them for doing their best, even Hill (no, not really, lol). I also realize this is their first go at a national race, as most candidates typically have tried before or had connections being involved in it (Hill's with Bill), so they're going to flub a lil.
On to the White House!

I've been at them, too! As were other white people. I went to some stations in downtown Atlanta where it felt like at any moment gunfight might break out and, everyone seemed hyper-alerted to the fact of where they were at. I understand what she's saying, but it can happen to anyone is all I'm saying.

| 59. Barack can get shot going to the gas station,” Michelle Obama said |
 |
and in the interview, Obama’s wife plays race card on ‘60 Minutes’. And does anyone think Obama pumps his own gas? I don’t think so….she comes off as some militant black woman that would never miss an opportunity to slam the US.
And about the HRC statement I will just add Robert Kennedy Jr.'s words. "I’ve heard her make that argument before,” “It sounds like she was invoking a familiar historical circumstance in support of her argument for continuing her campaign.” . More from RFK, Jr.:
I have heard her make this reference before, also citing her husband's 1992 race, both of which were hard fought through June. I understand how highly charged the atmosphere is, but I think it is a mistake for people to take offense."
Well - if RFK's namesake is not upset with Hillary and understands what she was trying to say- maybe some of you should CHILL!

| 61. The paper she gave the interview to has put out a statement: |
 |
Statement from the Argus Leader The Argus Leader’s Executive Editor Randell Beck issued the following statement today: "The context of the question and answer with Sen. Clinton was whether her continued candidacy jeopardized party unity this close to the Democratic convention. Her reference to Mr. Kennedy's assassination appeared to focus on the timeline of his primary candidacy and not the assassination itself." ---------- Nuf sed.

You make a statement like that and then you accuse her of playing the "race card". Your post was disgusting and you should be ashamed. Trying to fan the flames of racism by warning of "militant black women" is disgusting and has no place on this board.

OK, so she didn't mean it the way it comes across to many people, that she was simply trying to show other past races haven't been won until June (that's the argument, right?).
So why even bring up RFK or 1968? It's a poor analogy. In 1968 the first primary - NH, wasn't held until MARCH. Only THREE months and 13 Primaries were completed before California, compared with FIVE months and 28 primaries in 2008.
Big difference wouldn't you say?
