Original message
Has the MSM acknowledged the source of "AssasinationGate" as the ObamaCamp yet?
This whole tempest-in-a-teapot has all the earmarks of an Axlerod production.
Taking a comment about primary races having lasted into June in the past, and twisting
it into "she wants him dead!" is classic Karl Rove/Donna Brazile/David Axelrod.

This thing didn't spring from thin air. It was propelled and promoted.

253. Since Drudge pushed the story its likely Clinton wanted it out there
to get the story spread.

Because she meant what she said and she needs some crazies
to get her message.

135. You've been played. Drudge and the NY Post lied to:
The initial N.Y. Post item read this way: “She is still in the presidential race, she said today, because historically, it makes no sense to quit, and added that, ‘Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June,’ making an odd comparison between the dead candidate and Barack Obama.”

Mrs. Clinton did not make that comparison.


Taint what was said. If you care, that is...

OR a bigger shovel

Looks like her wiley campaign staff and she took what they gave them and (continued to) did their work for them. It is easy not going negative when you don't have to.

299. Actually I don't think they exploded, I think they handled it in a very classy way.
The people of America and MSM exploded as they should. I personally thought more should have been mad the FIRST time I heard it.
There is no reason to use the word "assination" even if you want to spout off bad examples. (unless of course you want to send a little dig)

But...let's say the Obama camp did expand on this...so what? Didn't Hillary do this with "bitter"? Oh that's right................she is allowed and he isn't! I forgot.

68. Thank you for pointing that out - too many straw men distracting from what she actually said.
Her exact words condemn her.

Asked if her continuing fight for the nomination against Senator Obama hurts the Democratic party, Sen. Hillary Clinton replied, "I don't. Because again, I've been around long enough. You know, 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 don't understand it. You know, there's lots of speculation about why it is.“

Her meaning is crystal clear: "I'm staying in this fight because something might happen to the presumptive nominee, just like what happened to Bobby Kennedy in 1968."

Edited on Tue May-27-08 08:54 AM by Heather MC
Class: WHEN SHE SAYS "YOU KNOW" FOR NO REASON

Teacher: Very Good Class I see you have been paying attention!

Bill was considered the Nominee back in April of that year. 4/8/1992 to be exact!
The June Primary at that time was just a fomality, much like all the primaries, since PA have been.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlpiDW2RB54

So even if you don't want to admit that Hillary implied she is waiting/hoping/praying for Obama to be the "A-word".

It's clear that once again she LIED
LIAR LIAR LIARRRRRRRRRR
Typical!

unless they are so dedicated to their own image of Clinton that she can do no wrong.

Face it - she blew it. Big time. What she said was reckless and hurtful and possibly dangerous. That's not Obama's fault, much as you'd like to believe that everything is.

I am a big girl and fully capable of making up my own mind. I didn't read about it on their site. As soon as I read it I was disgusted and that was before the Obama camp even had a chance to respond. I have been ticked about her saying this since March.

141. Right. Change "was assasinated" to "was still campaigning"
and though it would still bring up hurtful memories, she can make a plausible argument that all she was talking about was June and campaigning.

But she didn't say that. Since when is anyone but the speaker responsible for the words coming from her mouth?

191. no she said ASSASSINATED in june.


when asked why she's staying in the race, she cited the potential for assassination late in the primary as a reason for staying in the race.

Her words are very clear and she repeated them 2 other times using the assassination reference.

If she was simply referring to his campaign still going on, why not simply say that his campaign was still active in june. Oh because someone might point out that the schedule was different than it is today?

No, she specifically and repeatedly referenced the potential for an assassination, late in the primary, as a reason to stay in the race.

Her people have reiterated the sentiment over and over saying that a "catastrophic event" could befall obama.

That's what Hillary is no hanging her campaign on.... something bad happening to Obama.

It's clear to me that the Clintons have "something planned" or "had"
I pray daily that No weapon formed against Barack shall prosper.

It's Clear however, that the Clintons have planned otherwise.
If any attempt is made on Barack the Clintons should be proscuted, Particularly if it happens in June or October.

To be such corupt people, they certainly don't lie well anymore

110. Here's where your assertion fails:
it's based on the premise that "what she said" is obviously offensive.

All the "how dare she say something like that" outcries seem to spring from the same assumption: that any sane or rational person hearing her comments would see something amiss. Not only do I see nothing hinted or sinister here, when viewing the clip, it sounds like a perfectly conversational listing of two previous campaigns that were still undecided at this point in the year. Admittedly, I prefer long primaries due to their grueling nature that allows the mettle to be tested, but I don't think I would have seen anything arch here if that wasn't a big issue for me. When watching it, I was absolutely astonished that anyone could gin up any bullshit outrage about this at all.

Sure, she should have just said "when he won the California Primary" or something like that, but I simply don't see anything the least bit suggestive about this at all.

Trying to depict her as inciting or threatening bodily harm, on the other hand, is deeply ugly.

This has gone way too far. Each screeching DEMAND for Obama's premature coronation just gets more and more tiresome, and the constant railing about racism and fixing do nothing but turn off more and more of the undecided. This is deplorable. We're playing right into the hands of the stereotyping of Democrats as sniveling children who feel entitled to something, and that's going to hurt us.

194. LOL!!! That was impressive....


really impressive... does your back hurt after that flip and spin?

I saw what she said, and read that she said it twice before.

I love how the hillary followers are the first to claim hillary is somehow unaware of what she's said over and over again... be it her sniper lies or her repeated references to the potential for assassination or catastrophe as a reason for staying in this race.


"Trying to depict her as inciting or threatening bodily harm, on the other hand, is deeply ugly."

Not inciting or threatening... just anticipating as a possibility real enough to justify her remaining in this race.

One need not inflate what she said into a threat... it is plenty sickening enough as what it was, simply another example of clinton's lack of humanity and win at all costs sense of entitlement. She's now staying in the race because something catastrophic might befall Obama.

This wasn't a gaff... she said it three times.

It is a calculated attempt to cast doubt and fear on Obama as a candidate because... hey you never know what could happen to him.

7. First off, like many others have already said, that comparison doesnt even apply.
Rfk winning cali in june in 68 has no comparison to todays contests.

Second, she takes this comparison which doesnt apply, and uses it in a way which obviously stands out as showing a remarkable lack of understanding to obamas situation. Her campaign already distanced itself from similar comments said by one of her supporters.

Its simple: dont talk about people getting assassinated when referencing this damn contest, is that so hard?

25. She could have used many different examples why did she say the word "assassination"
It's all about words. Remember the tizzy regarding the word "bitter" by Obama? which was fanned on DU by you and others who support her. We tried to explain too what he meant and you and others said the words spoke for themselves. Her words speak for themself. She could have used many examples other than RFK's assassination.

57. Just because Huckabee joked about Obama getting shot at a week earlier
Doesn't mean Hillary should have to restrain her language. I mean gee, he admitted it was a bad joke. Golly, he wouldn't really laugh if Obama got shot at. He was just joking see-- about ducking bullets. And so gosh, no reason the media and the public might be sensitive to such comments. That was a whole week earlier. Maybe even ten whole days. So those reactions of shock to Hillary's casual assassination reference just had to be planted by the O campaign. Yeah, that must be it. Cuz the Huckster misstatement was over a whole week ago.

75. Nobody "played me" into outrage. I read her comments and became outraged all by myself.
Maybe you weren't around in 1968. I was. Bobby Kennedy was the presumptive nominee, emerging from a chaotic early primary season which began when the sitting Democratic president, Johnson, abruptly stated that he would not run for reelection. The Democratic Party was deeply divided. Bobby Kennedy stepped in and won California, making him the frontrunner, giving the party and the country a gleam of hope for a united campaign and united approach to the war in Vietnam. Bobby's brother, the president of the United States, had been assassinated less than five years earlier.

As Bobby was celebrating his victory in California, as the words "and now we're on to Chicago where we'll win there, too!" came from his mouth, he was shot dead.

I was eight years old. That summer...

I can't type any more. I'm sitting her in tears at my keyboard.

If you don't understand how Hillary's words were unforgiveable, you'll never understand.

12. Yes it sprang from the air
Her interview was being live streamed on the internet by the South Dakota newspaper. Plenty of people, fairly or unfairly as you may judge that to be, arrived at their emotions perfectly independently.

13. well, there's just one more thing that she has failed on
being careful not to give the other side ammo.

she just cannot be trusted to win for us considering her penchant for giving the other side ammo.

Oh and about O's team being responsible??? Tell me, what responsibility does SHE have to choose her words wisely???? That's right, A LOT.

oh wait, anything that happens to Hillary is someone else's fault, i forgot.

15. How can it be attributed to Obama's camp?
Edited on Sun May-25-08 11:20 AM by lisa58
She said it to an editorial board - she gave it as an example of why she was still in the race.

I understand her clarification and I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt that she was referring to an historical event that occurred during the democratic primary in JUNE of 1968, but the Clinton's have a funny way of making offensive references when they don't have to and still get their point across.

Obama's campaign was far more gracious about this remark than her campaign was about Obama's "bitter" remark.

22. Someone, and it wasn't the newspaper, took this and blew it up.
From the smalltown newspaper:

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."

36. But why the Obama camp?
If you read the New York Times article, "On the Road: Clinton’s Very Bad Day" it looks like it was The New York Post that started the fray.

http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/05/24/on-the-ro... /

At the supermarket, we were ensconced in a café off the deli counter, where many reporters were writing about her denying the overtures while also trying to follow the live stream. Here, too, Internet access was spotty and the stream came over in choppy bursts.
Mrs. Clinton arrived from the newspaper in the midst of this, and began addressing a couple of hundred people who were seated adjacent to us, in the fresh produce section. Then our cell phones and Blackberries went off.

On the other end were editors who had seen a Drudge Report link to a New York Post item online. The Post was not with the traveling press — and apparently had a decent Internet connection.
The initial N.Y. Post item read this way: “She is still in the presidential race, she said today, because historically, it makes no sense to quit, and added that, ‘Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June,’ making an odd comparison between the dead candidate and Barack Obama.”

Kinda like what Republicans used to do with Bill and Hillary.

96. 1968, 13 primaries, NH was in March, now its in January.
For me that kinda makes the timeline story real awkward. Plus Clinton wrapped it up in '92 when Tsongas dropped out, IIRC March, not June.

So compare timelines even though they are different, and the same timelines falls apart under minor examination.

" Karl Rove/Donna Brazile/David Axelrod"


This gets fucking old. It's the conspiracy! It's the conspiracy!


(Plus, seeing as how the editorial newspaper board that she was interviewing with didn't even acknowledge the untruth or challenge the "Bill CLinton didn't get this until June!" bogus argument, but instead said "Yes, JUNE!", I don't really care what they say. Every other outlet has challenged that bit of intellectual dishonesty. George Snuffy said that that logic is "complete silliness" on today's show). I read from someone in SD that the newspaper is creaming in their pants (ok, that's a disgusting expression, but you know what I mean) over the exposure they are getting for this.

Plus, this could have been a weekened when the top story was McCain's health records, Cindy's tax returns, McCain's pastor problems.

19. He forced her to say it in Time Magazine. He forced her to say
it at the editorial board meeting. Oh yeah, and all the other times she said it as well.

You should thank your lucky stars that she was given a pass the first gajillion times she said it. Finally everybody had enough. She said it one too many times.

Yep you heard it hear first. Obama used some kind of drug or mind control in order to force Clinton into becoming the worlds biggest ass. Next he will force her to sleep with every republican in DC to pay back her debts.

of the interview. I doubt that the Obama camp arranged for Argus to stream live online an interview with Sen. Clinton to the whole world.

Now this is truly a desperate argument if I ever heard one and rumor mongering in its crudest form:

"we really don't have any evidence - but someone they heard of says it's true. And even if it is probably not true, you can't prove that it is not true. So, let's all act as if it that it might be true."

167. The stories I have read
indicate that the Obama camp reacted to the media reports, where they first learned of it. This sort of thing needs no promotion. In fact, it would be difficult to promote in a way that would gain it any more coverage than it would get left entirely alone. So, why would they waste their time trying? There is nothing to be gained by attempts at promotion

29. let;s see....
Hillary talks about it in January with the A word.

Hillary repeats in in May, again with the A word.

Hillary alludes to it a few other times, but doesn't use the A word.

Hillary talks about shooting guns as a young girl in PA. Barack calls her "Annie Oakley".

Hillary is fixated on "sniper fire" in Bosnia and has total relapse of memory but perhaps her Id is speaking?

Mike Huckabee jokes about it on camera recently refreshing Hillary's memory.

I could add more but I think you can see it wasn't a one-slip-of-the-tongue gaffe. There is subliminal intent and multiple comment.

34. The "it was propelled and promoted" argument is not one you'll be seeing the Hillary camp touch
The last thing they want associated with this the idea that they propelled and promoted the talking point considering her history of using it.

TIME (March 6th): Can you envision a point at which--if the race stays this close--Democratic Party elders would step in and say, "This is now hurting the party and whoever will be the nominee in the fall"?

CLINTON: No, I really can't. I think people have short memories. Primary contests used to last a lot longer. We all remember the great tragedy of Bobby Kennedy being assassinated in June in L.A. My husband didn't wrap up the nomination in 1992 until June. Having a primary contest go through June is nothing particularly unusual.

http://www.time-blog.com/swampland/2008/05/hillarys_biz...


Sioux Falls Argus-Leader's editorial board (May, 23rd): Q: You don't buy the party unity argument?

CLINTON: 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," she said, dismissing calls to drop out.
