175. Pick AT the Scab?!
She Ripped that Sucker Clean OFF! As a youth I recall one of my daily rituals which included picking up the Newspaper from the front porch in our suburb.. They didn't even roll it up, the town was so small :) that the paper lay flat, ready to read.,

There were special days that I picked it up that burned those front pages into my mind forever.. Pics of Martin Luther King's Balcony from when he was Assassinated.. The huge pic of RFK laying on the floor of a commercial kitchen, face as blank as the Future we all looked forward to that no longer existed, gunned down, the Liberals might have Ruled for 50 years because of that Man, our whole culture was snuffed in a moment and we headed for graft, right wing corruption, more deaths because of that Bullet..

I began to wonder why all these forward thinking men of Peace were being gunned down, and looking at being drafted soon enough on top of it all - meanwhile I was an Altar Boy, going to church twice a day, and Catholic schooling, where the showed me the OTHER Man of Peace who'd been killed by those Corrupted by money or Religion or power..

The memories invoked create a loss for many and a void that would NEVER be filled by the likes of Hillary, she has not Earned the Right or Respect or Class to "own" that Era, to make any mention of Any of it, in my mind..

Now, Obama, he's the Real Deal.. Ted let's him Speak for him for a Reason, he's like an Adopted Son of one if the greatest Liberal Families (and we can be PROUD of that word Again!) this nation has known in a Century or more..

This IS a big deal.. When all these images of Death, not just RFKs FLOOD the Collective Mind of the Country it will BUCK her OFF its back.

SHE does not have the RIGHT to talk of these things. They are Sancrosect. Not to be USED for Profit.

Off the Soapbox now.. :)
