Clinton apologizes without the using the words "apologize" or "sorry"

[CreekDog]

All I see is the word "regret" but immediately followed by declaring what she said "an historic fact"

======================

"Earlier today, I was discussing the Democratic primary history and in the course of that discussion mentioned the campaigns that both my husband and Senator Kennedy waged in California in June in 1992 and 1968, and I was referencing those to make the point that we have had nominating primary contests that go into June. That's an historic fact,” she told reporters.

“The Kennedys have been much on my mind in the last days because of Senator Kennedy, and I regret that if my referencing that moment of trauma for our entire nation and particularly for the Kennedy family was in any way offensive. I certainly had no intention of that whatsoever,” she added.

========================
note to Hillary supporters: we react to things Hillary says when they are over the top and we do so with anger, that doesn't mean we hate you or hate her, but we do react. i would love to ignore this stuff but i simply don't know how to do it or why i should.

3. Yeah she and her supporters are full of shit. No quarter I say.

Take it to the convention. They want a street fight, then they can have one.

9. HRC, yes...her supporters?

Not so much. They just believe and love her. Just like seeing a child addicted to drugs, and witnessing their death spiral, but still seeing that little darling that gave you hugs and baked you cookies. Cognitive Dissonance, I believe the therapeutic term would be.

4. Regrets, I've had a few...

But not as many as Hillary has had during this train-wreck campaign of hers.

"note to Hillary supporters: we react to things Hillary says when they are over the top and we do so with anger, that doesn't mean we hate you or hate her, but we do react. i would love to ignore this stuff but i simply don't know how to do it or why i should."

My sentiments exactly. K&R

12. I am not standing down, The American public ignored their way into 8 years of the DickTatorTot

I can tell you *I'M* not sleepwalking this time.

5. She has nothing to apologize for (eom)

[NotThisTime]

7. Ask Ted Kennedy that in 2 weeks, the 40th anniversary of his brother's death

with his now, new diagnosis... just ask him how he might personally feel, or do you not care?

[CreekDog]

10. and she didn't apologize

:think:

[CreekDog]

what if she wants my vote?

maybe that's why she should apologize.

obviously she'll do almost anything else to get my vote, why not that?

14. of all the crass, bullshit I have seen here,

welcome to my ignore list.

6. The art of the "non-apology 'apology'"...

They've elevated it to an art-form over there.

8. There's no art to it. There's only the question of whether people go along with it.

11. She's a lawyer, and they all know NOT to apologize, it can be an implication of guilt.

[DangerousRhythm]

13. That's what really bugs me about her and anyone who does that.

The non-apology apology really comes off as very insincere to me.

[pointsoflight]

15. Actually, the campaign called it a "clarification", not an apology.

It clearly wasn't intended to be an apology, and in no way, shape or form was it a true apology.
