Why is it OK for Obama to hint at Hillary's Death?
Edited on Fri May-23-08 08:06 PM by Austinitis
Like he does http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esdY8PK_q8Q">right here, but not OK for Hillary to hint at Obama's (assuming she even was, which is weak...)?

Both do so for political gain, and neither advocates anything like assassination, so why is it that only Obama supporters pretend to be mad?

11. Why Do You Keep Kicking Your Stupid Thread?
Where's the hint you talk about? The issue was the qualifications of a VP, and Obama said that a VP should be able to take over for the President if necessary. Am I missing something?

3. Right, then
use your ears, not your prejudices, for listening. It will serve you much better in keeping in touch with reality.

He said "fall out". There are a number of reasons that a president might become incapacitated. Did he say Assassinated? Did he cite that potential as his only reason for staying in the race? Or did he point out a logical fallacy in an attempt to subvert his candidacy, without any reference to assassination?

4. That's the stupidest thing I've seen all day.
Edited on Fri May-23-08 08:09 PM by gcomeau
Hillary makes the argument that Obama isn't ready to be president, but is somehow ready to be VP.

Obama rebuts asking how that can be when Bill Clinton himself said the main criteria for being ready to be VP... is being ready to be President if anything requires it... destroying their argument.

How the HELL is that hinting, implying, or in any other way mentioning Hillary being assassinated?

You're either being incredibly stupid, or incredibly dishonest.

8. Oh I've seen some really stupid things today.
But this one is just... aggressively stupid. This one WORKS at being stupid. It took effort to be this clueless, he must have spent hours scouring the intertubes for something to illustrate this level of idiocy.

That takes it to a different level.

6. Your candidate just lost her cause
to be in the race or be VP. It is over for her. Her true heart was revealed. Take sometime to let it settle in and come back.
