done deliberately, then it is vile and unacceptable!

Bingo Rachel! Bravo!

1. If Rachel Maddow were running for president, I'd volunteer to be on her campaign bus. n/t

2. Eugene Robinson was better
He called a spade a spade, and couldn't believe how everyone had divorced themselves from reality by believing she meant June.

4. Yes, they both got it right - that apologist soft selling it should be
slapped by Mike Tyson.

6. She did say June. She mentioned Bill Clinton winning CA in june and ....
...followed with the RFK tragedy also in June.

Why not see the clip again or get a copy of what she actually said?

Here ya go:

"'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."

She was talking precisely about what happened in June of 1968.

7. If she was talking about time
why didn't she just stop with Bill. What the hell was the point of bringing RFK's assassination into it?

9. Exactly....
Maybe she's just overtired (Bill used that one to excuse prior hillary bs), maybe she's stupid and desperate or maybe it was deliberate. Regardless, she has lost any credibility and is not fit to be POTUS!!!

10. She obviously forgot the Cali primary is now held in February
not June. That comparison is not relevant.

12. Oh, Christ - of course it's relevant. She was talking about June primaries back then.....
Robert Kennedy was assassinated in June of 1968 after winning the California primary. She didn't forget anything. She was giving a broad hint that we should all wait until June - after the last primary, to finalize the process.

There are those who are intent on finding evil where there is none.

And by the way - who here was reveling and gushing in comparing Obama as the new JFK, RFK, and MLK. Did it occur to any of you that people might make the connection to their assassination?

Duh!!!!!!
