[LowerManhattanite]

14. The AOL boards are an under-the-barrel haven for racists, freaks and...

...lunatics to begin with. I'm amazed it's that high in favor of against her making that statement.

[mythyc]

17. In The Context In Which They Were Made, I Fail To See The Outrage.

She was referencing two well known primaries in which the nominee was still not known into June. Considering her fight right now and taken in a historical sense, her comments make perfect sense. From where I sit, the outrage is just the usual old trying to twist something into something it's not, just for sake of outrage.

[mythyc]

19. i guess we have to agree to disagree then

no other major candidate that I can ever remember has referenced the assassination of a political leader in any light that I know of. That she does it in the midstream of justifying staying in the race is incorrigible to many many many. many....

.

on a lighter note, how you been doing OMC?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

22. It Wasn't The Assassination That Was The Main Point Of Reference.

It was the length in which the primary went without having a nominee, that was the focus.

I'm doin ok, how are you?

[me b zola]

24. Even without her ghoulish reference

This has been the longest primary ever. We began almost a year earlier than those other contests she noted.

[yodermon]

31. If that was her point then it was yet another Epic Fail

because RFK only had been in the race since March. woo hoo, 3 whole months, what an agonizingly long campaign compared to this 18 month quickie.

[yodermon]

29. She was drawing a proper analogy between campaigns, yes,

and then, in the middle of a perfectly nice analogy she bring up RFK's *assassination*.

*ASSASSINATION*. In midstream of an analogy to *THIS CAMPAIGN*.

The context actually makes it *MORE OUTRAGEOUS*.

[Window]

18. Done. 59 - 41

[jenmito]

35. See ya! We hardly knew ya!

:hi:

[ShortnFiery]

32. Done, the freepers and the HRC adorers are skewing the data. Let's change that?

[mythyc]

37. it's sad. i know it's aol and all, but if this poll dips below 50% it's still going to get to me

symbolically at least ...

[jenmito]

33. The headline is a lie: "Clinton Apologizes for Kennedy Remark"

No she didn't.

[barack the house]

34. Let's look at the positive there it means our party is starting to rally for Obama...

WE ARE GOING TO WIN. We must earn the trust of her former voters, so regardless of today we must try to ease up on HRC and sell our candidate to them.

[Nite Owl]

36. Kicking for the late night
